As a critic, I’ve seen a lot of fan complaints over the years, and the storyline of Joey and Rachel hooking up consistently ranks near the top of the list of things Friends fans disliked. It felt like a real departure from the central Ross and Rachel romance, especially since it started brewing in Season 8 with the episode “The One Where Joey Dates Rachel.” It began innocently enough – a fake date to cheer Rachel up while she was dealing with her pregnancy, complete with a playful attempt at impressing each other. But it ended with Joey admitting he’d caught feelings, and surprisingly, Rachel felt the same way a season later. It just never quite landed with many viewers, myself included.

Launching on February 3rd for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, Norse: Oath of Blood is a game that should appeal to fans of Fire Emblem. It blends strategic turn-based combat with unit management and city building, all within a compelling story where your choices matter. As a Fire Emblem enthusiast, I’ve been hoping for a game with a more impactful narrative – something the series hasn’t consistently offered since Fire Emblem: Three Houses – and Norse: Oath of Blood appears to be exactly that.

Get ready for the return of the Snorks! The popular cartoon from 1984 is making a comeback, according to the official website. Dodo Reanimation Lab B.V., the company behind the revival, says they’re creating a new version of the show that honors the original while appealing to today’s kids. They aim to capture the nostalgia fans remember while introducing the Snorks to a new generation.

Russell T. Davies, the showrunner of Doctor Who, recently shared a video with Whoopi Goldberg, star of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Davies explained he’d been hoping to meet Goldberg, a dedicated Doctor Who fan, for ten years. She helped them get tickets to see The View, and in a playful video, the two expressed their desire for a crossover between Doctor Who and Star Trek. While there are no official plans for this yet, both are enthusiastic about the idea if it ever becomes a reality.

The anime series Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation has announced that Season 3 will premiere in July 2026. While a specific date hasn’t been set yet, the show released a new teaser poster to celebrate the upcoming season.

It’s unfortunately common for announced video games to get canceled. When we don’t hear about a promising project for a long time, fans often worry it’s been abandoned. Sometimes, these games surprise us and reappear, showing that developers have been quietly working on them – we saw that happen with Witchbrook recently. However, not all long-delayed games are so fortunate. I’m starting to believe these four highly anticipated games might never actually come out.

The show Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler will be leaving HBO Max on January 23rd. While all three seasons are currently available to stream, the first two seasons will soon be removed. This is notable because Pennyworth originally aired on Epix (simply titled Pennyworth) before moving to HBO Max for its third season, and this change in platforms may be the reason for the removal of the earlier seasons.

The X-Men movies featured a lot of memorable characters, and some were even played by different actors across various timelines. But if the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) wants to create its own versions of these characters, they’ll need to find new actors to play them. Here’s a look at the key X-Men characters, reimagined with a new cast for the MCU.

Fans of The Legend of Heroes series are really looking forward to Trails beyond the Horizon, and for good reason – it promises to be a fantastic game.

Check out the short announcement trailer below. You can find more information on the official website, and follow the game’s updates on Twitter.
