During the TIME100 Next Gala, Damson Idris was asked if he was being considered to play Black Panther. He immediately dismissed the rumor, stating, “No, no. I don’t know anything about it.”
While Buffy had some truly excellent seasons, the show’s quality wasn’t consistent throughout its seven-year run. Some fans believe season four is better than it gets credit for, but the series definitely felt strongest when the core group was still in high school. The second season, in particular, is often considered a highlight.
James Gunn’s new DC Universe will address the issue of inconsistent live-action Batman portrayals. This is because the upcoming DCU Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold, will feature Damian Wayne as Robin – the same version of the character that will appear in other upcoming Batman projects, with a sneak peek already released.
While many fantasy stories, like Solo Leveling, focus on characters quickly gaining power, To Your Eternity takes a different approach, exploring themes of loss, memory, and the enduring nature of life. Created by Yoshitoki Oima, the author of A Silent Voice, this anime deliberately avoids a fast-paced power-up system, encouraging viewers to reflect and contemplate. The series centers on Fushi, an immortal being who spends centuries learning about humanity through both joy and sorrow. Each season reinterprets the world through this core idea, using fantasy not as a simple escape, but as a way to explore deeper, existential questions. Unlike other fantasy shows that emphasize grand visuals, To Your Eternity prioritizes the struggle for survival. Now with Season 3 available, this series has steadily gained recognition as something truly unique.

In the show’s premiere, West’s character was unexpectedly killed off – shot in the back without even being seen on screen. While fans wondered what would happen after the Season 3 finale, many were surprised when the actor who played West decided to leave the show. He had considered not returning for Season 3, but ultimately agreed after discussing his concerns with the show’s creator, Alexi Hawley. The storyline for that season tried to address those concerns, particularly regarding how police work is depicted on TV. However, it ended up being his last full season on the series.
Most fans consider “The Big Goodbye” from Star Trek: The Next Generation to be the first real holodeck episode, featuring Picard as a detective in a classic noir story. However, the Star Trek franchise actually had a holodeck episode much earlier – in the first season of The Original Series, over two decades before! While “The Big Goodbye” was groundbreaking, it wasn’t the first of its kind.
This appearance follows a recent comment from co-host Joy Behar, who stated earlier this month that Republicans seem hesitant to join the show. Behar explained, “We’d like to have more Republicans on, but they don’t want to come on—they’re afraid of us.”
