Now fans are eagerly awaiting season two. There are still questions to be answered. How will Norm get out of Vault 31? What’s up with New Vegas? Will the Ghoul continue to steal scenes? And so on. Well, we might get answers sooner than we expected! Fallout season 2 is well on its way.

It’s called TERF—the title was considerably toned down; it was originally TERF C**t—and it will play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from August 2. It’s already lost one venue thanks to the original title. It was planned to premiere at Saint Stephens Theater, and has now moved to the Assembly Rooms. Playwright Joshua Kaplan has admitted in an interview with Deadline that it was a “misstep” to put the word  “c**t” in there. But TERF, as you may know, stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, and is not a slur—in fact, including “feminist” in the moniker is giving them a lot of undue credit.

Well, there’s one thing I badly want, and that’s a resolution of some of the storylines from Jodie Whittaker’s era. If you were a hater of that era, maybe you wanted those storylines dropped, but I’m not sure if the show can go forward until it’s reconciled at least a little with the Timeless Child—the original, unknown, foundling child form of the Doctor.

The villain of “Empire of Death” is Sutekh, an entity the Doctor first met allll the way back in 1975 in the serial “Pyramids of Mars.” The Doctor was able to stop him, but in “Empire of Death” it turns out that Sutekh had been hidden in the TARDIS all that time, waiting to rise again. (This poses a lot of questions, since there’s frequently been more than one version of the Doctor’s TARDIS in play on the show.)

Gass made his comment at a Tenacious D gig in Sydney, Australia. It was his birthday, and Black suggested he make a wish. Gass quipped “Don’t miss Trump next time”—after the assassination attempt, social media was filled with similar jokes, ill-advised though they might be—and the audience laughed. But then things got serious very quickly. Australian federal senator Ralph Babet wrote an overwrought letter calling for the band to be deported from Australia, and multiple “free speech absolutists” on social media forgot their principles and called for Gass to face consequences.

This adorable and sadly unnamed creature (played by a talented rescue dog named Bobby) first came to our attention in the episode “A Son For a Son.” He was the companion of Cheese the Ratcatcher, one of two men who committed the heinous murder of little Jaehaerys Targaryen, King Aegon’s heir. The dog was, as you can imagine, totally innocent of this crime, as all he did was follow the two assassins through the castle and get kicked for his troubles. (Fans were arguably more appalled by the kick than they were about the child murder.)

Plenty would argue that aspects of Star Wars and Marvel were toned down and “theme-park-ified” when Disney bought the franchises. For Doctor Who, the Season 14 opener, “Space Babies” was when the “Disneyfied” complaint really began to pick up steam.

It’s not as straightforward as your average Bluey episode. I was confused by “Space” when I first saw it, too. Why was Mackenzie running away from his friends? What did Calypso mean when she appeared at the slide? Then I sat back and thought, wow … this episode is fantastic at explaining trauma in a way that kids can understand.

This audio adventures serve as spinoffs to the main Doctor Who show and often focus on fan-favorite characters who had more story to tell. There are Big Finish stories available for Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor, Georgia Moffett’s Jenny, and more.

Sure, DreamWorks isn’t the same sort of all-consuming entertainment juggernaut that Disney is, but the quality of their films is just as good. You could say of course that they’re just for kids … but really they’re for kids of all ages. And here are the ten best.

Author Christina Dalcher posted a message in support of SEEN Publishing, which is for people “concerned about the impact of gender ideology on our sector and wider society.” Fitzgerald wrote in response, “Ooh I’ll enjoy tearing up your books and popping them in the bin today. Thanks for the heads up.”

The penultimate episode, “The Legend of Ruby Sunday,” set things up for a tremendous showdown. A very old enemy of the Doctor’s, Sutekh, had been hiding in plain sight all this time. He’d created a woman, Susan Triad, to lure the Doctor in. She shared the same first name as the Doctor’s granddaughter, and the Doctor thought it might be her.

And yet … I felt nothing whatsoever for the Queen Who Never Was. I appreciate Rhaenys’ (Eve Best) place in the story—a voice of reason for Team Black and a fine example of the ways Westeros overlooks strong women—but I don’t like her one little bit, and it’s all because of one scene in season one.

While the last movie to actually feature Shrek himself was all the way back in 2010, his feline friend Puss in Boots has had a successful spinoff series, and we last caught up with him in 2022’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which was a big financial and critical success. It also happened to end with a tease that Puss in Boots would soon be reunite with Shrek and co. again.

In the Song of Ice and Fire shows, no one is safe. Fan-favorite main characters have been killed off and, more harrowingly, so have their children. Let’s take a rundown of all the deaths (named characters only!) in House of the Dragon season two so far.

The movie came out September 2004 in the U.S. and kickstarted the careers of Pegg, co-star Nick Frost, and director Edgar Wright. To this day, it’s still one of Pegg’s most beloved movies, and that’s really saying something, as the guy is the king of British comedy flicks.

On June 21, he picked up an LGBT+ Celebrity Ally award at the British LGBT Awards, and he used the opportunity to criticize transphobic Tory politician Kemi Badenoch. He said, “I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up,” and all hell immediately broke loose.

The show challenges gender assumptions by doing this. Just because Bluey is, well, blue, it doesn’t mean she’s male. Colors shouldn’t have a gender! And Bluey also enjoys toys and games that should be enjoyed by any child regardless of gender. (All of us who have worked in retail know full well the frustration of seeing a parent refuse a child a toy because it happens to be pink or blue, “for girls” or “for boys”.)
