Is Strange New Worlds a Prequel to TOS?

Robert Vaux — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 22:20:12 GMT

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has complex origins. It technically began as a spinoff for Star Trek: Discovery, with Captain Pike, Mr. Spock, and Una Chin-Riley lending the crew of the Discovery a hand during the second season. Shortly thereafter, that series moved forward into the 32nd century, leaving Strange New Worlds to continue telling Star Trek stories in the era it left behind. That also places the series in an odd place in the franchise's timeline.

While he was only one of several original stars to have departed the ABC medical drama (the most notable still being Patrick Dempsey, whose Dr. Derek Shepherd was killed off), Chambers had put in more than a decade of work as Dr. Alex Karev. That meant his exit was shocking to fans, especially when they were told why the actor — and Alex Karev — were leaving.

Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's Futurama has accrued 150 episodes -- with more on the way -- across three separate networks. The animated comedy may have initially been perceived as a futuristic sci-fi riffing version of The Simpsons. However, Futurama has gradually developed its own identity through outlandish characters, a rich universe, and thought-provoking storylines that cleverly hold a mirror up to society, even if the series is set 1000 years in the future.

How The Bad Batch Used Clone Wars Nostalgia to Devastate Fans

Robert Vaux — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 20:00:13 GMT

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 proved to be a devastating heartache -- in a good way-- for fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The third episode of the season, "The Solitary Clone," used a form of dark nostalgia to put fans in a familiar position of rooting for their clone heroes, only to be left with a feeling of betrayal. The episode continues the series' trend of highlighting the clones as the spearhead of galactic oppression. The first season made this point with clones being ordered to oppress their former allies, the Twi'leks of Ryloth. While a sense of heroism still lingers within these soldiers who are too good for the Empire, the fact remains that fans must witness their valor used against the freedoms they used to protect.
