George R.R. Martin recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he would have preferred a darker ending for the HBO series. He felt the show strayed from his original vision and featured too many characters surviving. Martin admitted he had planned to kill off more fan favorites, stating, “I was going to kill more people.” He specifically mentioned that he didn’t believe Tyrion’s story deserved a happy resolution, as it was always meant to be tragic. He also considered killing Sansa, but acknowledged her popularity on the show might have saved her.

You know, it’s funny – the characters I always end up loving the most are the ones who don’t quite fit in, and this new character is totally that! She’s super outgoing, talks a mile a minute, and she’s just instantly likeable. Everyone’s calling her SAM – short for Series Acclimation Mil – and from what we’ve seen from Starfleet Academy, she’s definitely going to be something special, way more than just a typical cadet.

The sci-fi action movie The Creator, directed by Gareth Edwards, takes place in a future Los Angeles during a war between humans and artificial intelligence.

At a recent Q&A, Maggie Gyllenhaal discussed the look of Jessie Buckley’s character in the film, particularly the smudged makeup. Gyllenhaal emphasized the collaborative process, explaining that the final appearance was a result of working with incredibly talented people – including Buckley and makeup artist Nadia Stacey.

Robert Picardo responded to criticism about the new Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series being “too woke” with a thoughtful tweet. He pointed out that many innovative and worthwhile things are often misunderstood when they first appear. In response to a fan who argued that Star Trek was best when it leaned conservative, Picardo shared a personal anecdote. He recalled initially refusing to watch The Godfather because he, as an Italian American, feared it perpetuated negative stereotypes. He later came to love the film, learning a valuable lesson about prejudging something without experiencing it firsthand. Picardo explained that he simply enjoys a well-told story, even if he doesn’t agree with the characters’ beliefs or perspectives, and that’s his personal preference.

As a big Pokémon fan, I was really frustrated when Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl kept crashing on my new Switch 2. It’s been happening since launch! Nintendo just announced an update that should fix those crashes specifically for those two games, which is great news. Honestly, it’s a little weird they didn’t say what the problem was or why it took so long to fix. And it’s not just these Pokémon games, either – I’ve heard about other older Switch games having trouble running on the new console, so hopefully Nintendo keeps working on the backward compatibility.
