The sixth episode of Starfleet Academy, titled “Come, Let’s Away,” features the abandoned ship, the USS Miyazaki, which cadets are tasked with repairing. This is likely a tribute to the famous Japanese animator and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. Interestingly, the ship’s name is a callback to a hidden Star Trek reference that appeared in a Studio Ghibli film back in 1989.
Despite the authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (writing as James S.A. Corey), completing a nine-book series, the final three books haven’t been made into a show. While the recent conclusion felt like a natural ending, many storylines were left unresolved. Although some viewers believe the show is finished for good, many hope Alcon Entertainment, which owns the rights, will consider adapting the remaining books, even now that it’s no longer on Prime Video. Regardless of whether it happens, here are five reasons why we still need those final three seasons of The Expanse.
The manga and anime series, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, has become popular since its debut in 2019. After a successful run as a manga, it was adapted into a two-season anime, and a third season is on the way. While the story of Rentaro Aijo and his many admirers continues in new manga chapters, artist Yukiko Nozawa is taking a break due to her pregnancy and upcoming maternity leave.
Green Arrow is a superhero who doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves. He played a significant role in the development of comic books, with storylines like “Hard-Traveling Heroes” and “The Longbow Hunters” helping to shape the character into the hero fans know and love today. While popular in the 1980s, his success waned in the 1990s, leading to the character being killed off and replaced. He experienced a revival in 2001 when writer/director Kevin Smith reimagined him in Green Arrow (Vol. 3). Smith’s 15-issue run was so successful – making the book DC’s top seller – that DC continued the series with another writer from outside the comic book world, Brad Meltzer, a college friend of DC writer Judd Winick who had become a novelist. Partnering with artist Phil Hester, Meltzer then delivered what many consider to be the definitive Green Arrow story.
The latest installment of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo focuses on Yuji Itadori and showcases how much stronger he’s become since the end of the first series. He’s now incredibly powerful, rivaling gods and other major characters from the original story. The story also introduces a new method for overcoming even the most powerful Domain Expansion techniques: simply prevent your opponent from activating theirs with quick action.
It’s hard to say if any game will be as much fun as Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Released a year ago, this game is delightfully chaotic, charming, and colorful – easily one of Sega’s best releases in recent years. That’s not to diminish other great Sega games, but Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was just incredibly enjoyable. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Yakuza series or completely new to Goro Majima’s world, it’s a fantastic gaming experience.
Now that Jessica Jones is back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the team working on the new Daredevil: Born Again series will need to deal with the difficult consequences of her past actions. Although Krysten Ritter is currently the only confirmed main cast member returning from the original Jessica Jones show, her involvement opens the door for popular supporting characters like Malcolm Ducasse to reappear. This is also a great chance for Marvel Studios to finally reveal what happened to Trish Walker.
The 1996 sci-fi hit Independence Day, directed by Roland Emmerich, is now available to stream on Netflix. Starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman, the film quickly climbed the U.S. streaming charts after being added on February 1st, proving it’s still a fan favorite.
