I was completely shocked this season when they told Juliette that Bernard died in the airlock fire! It turned out to be way more complicated than it seemed, though. We saw a flashback of him surviving the blaze, only to apparently get taken out by Sims soon after. But then, at the end of episode 4? Huge twist – Bernard’s actually alive and has been secretly hidden down in the Digger Void! It’s unbelievable.
What once captivated audiences isn’t always as strong today. Changes in how stories are told, quicker tempos, better animation quality, and what viewers expect have made some classic ’80s anime seem a little old-fashioned. While still important and fondly remembered, these shows sometimes suffer from predictable storylines, inconsistent quality, or jokes that don’t quite hit the mark like they used to, meaning they aren’t as perfect as we might recall.
Look, the newer movies are great, and the franchise has a lot going for it, but Peter Jackson’s first three films? They’re still the best fantasy movies ever made, in my opinion. And Samwise Gamgee, played by Sean Astin, is such an amazing character. There are so many lines that stick with you, but that speech early on in The Fellowship of the Ring? It hits just as hard today as it did back in 2001 – it’s truly iconic.
Western films were incredibly popular for years, launching the careers of actors like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Though Tombstone added exciting action sequences, it didn’t quite reach the depth or artistry of earlier Westerns. Since Tombstone remains so memorable for its iconic lines, it’s interesting to revisit what many consider the golden age of the genre—the films that came before Val Kilmer played Doc Holliday.
The rest of the year promises captivating murder mysteries, a fresh take on a classic Jane Austen story, and the return of a beloved historical drama from Disney+ and Hulu – with an escalating rivalry between popular British countryside shows. Keep an eye out for major stars like Theo James, David Tennant, Olivia Colman, and Mark Gatiss, as they appear on screen between now and the holidays. And yes, there’s even a special Christmas episode to look forward to!
