Doctor Who premiered 62 years ago on November 1963 as a true experiment for British TV, originally following the elderly First Doctor (William Hartnell) and his companions as they travel around time and space in a bigger-on-the-inside police box, the TARDIS.

1+ day, 14+ hour ago (725+ words) Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas first suggested the idea of Star Trek: Legacy when Star Trek: Picard was in its final season in 2023. The new series would continue where Picard left off and likely star some of the same actors. While Matalas wrote 30 pages of a proposed pilot script for Legacy, as of November 2025, Paramount+ has no plans to develop any such series. Actor Todd Stashwick has been clear about wanting to return, and there are several other Star Trek actors who have also discussed the idea in the past. Jeri Ryan, who plays Captain Seven, has often discussed appearing on Star Trek: Legacy. Ryan was offered a different Star Trek spinoff after Picard ended (via TrekMovie) and turned it down because it wasn't the spinoff that the fans had asked for. While explaining this decision, Ryan indicated that…...

The film's groundbreaking aerial sequences and iconic soundtrack set a new standard for action cinema that many films have tried to emulate since. Just four years later, Cruise and director Tony Scott reunited for another high-octane film that most considered a Top Gun knock-off, and it just raced onto Paramount+.

2+ day, 16+ hour ago (1162+ words) Star Trek's themes of peace, harmony, and curiosity while exploring the universe require the Enterprise and other crews to face off with villains that stand for none of these things. Without the evil characters that try to destroy these values, the franchise would be extremely boring. Deep Space Nine often dealt with Gul Dukat, who was one of the best sci-fi villains in television history. The Cardassian warrior was the quintessential fascist dictator, having overseen the brutal oppression of the Bajorans while still being as charming as he is cunning to the outside world. However, the popularity of this villain is based on his complexity. Dukat was far from a one-note dictatorial character. Over the course of the series, he takes on many roles, eventually becoming a religious cult leader, and he also has a complicated relationship with his daughter....

An ambitious and fiercely intelligent supervisor in the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB), Dedra Meero is a chilling example of what can happen when one is raised by a corrupt system and indoctinated. She is a physical representation of the Empire's cold, organized machinery of oppression, dedicating herself to consolidating power and tracking down rebel insurgents without any second thoughts. Her character shows that the greatest threats don't always wear black masks or wield lightsabers; they can be careerists dedicated to serving a corrupt regime. Her effectiveness lies in her ability to connect seemingly separate events and spin them for the higher-ups to oppress those who are weaker, making her the most dangerous non-Force-sensitive antagonist of the…...
