The 2025 television lineup has concluded another installment of Celebrity Jeopardy!, offering plenty of enjoyable moments as we watched well-known figures tackle relatively simple trivia challenges. Though many admirers of one of the best game shows in history may find the $1 million charity donation to be a compelling reason for its existence, they also have suggestions on ways to enhance it – and I concur with much of their feedback.

These major plot twists, such as Severus Snape’s affection for Lily Evans, indications about horcruxes, and the rumor of Harry Potter’s demise at the hands of Lord Voldemort, could have been predicted if readers paid close attention to the subtle hints sprinkled throughout the earlier books. While some of these foreshadowing clues were quite obvious, others were cleverly concealed, revealing their significance only upon reading the final book.

After making his first appearance in “Captain America: Civil War”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” solidified Tom Holland’s Peter Parker as a key figure within the Marvel Cinematic Universe by enriching his universe with a lively supporting crew. Characters like Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May, Zendaya’s MJ, Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds, and Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan were all introduced. However, the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” erased everyone’s memory about Peter Parker, including a character who has been a significant thorn in Spider-Man’s side throughout the MCU, which could potentially intensify this issue even further.

In this episode, written by Jason Inman, a combat veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom, the authenticity of his personal experiences shines through. For instance, during their conversation about Dean’s hallucinations, Stephens and Adam Croft clarify that post-traumatic stress isn’t a disorder, but rather an injury sustained in war. One notable subplot revolves around Dean’s desire to rejoin the military despite having lost a leg. This underscores the struggle some soldiers face when transitioning from military life to civilian existence, as they may long for the order and structure of service even after witnessing the horrors of war. Alongside the gripping veteran narrative, the episode also provides crucial insights into James Moriarty’s master plan, setting the stage for the finale. However, it is the case-of-the-week that leaves the most lasting impression.
