Update: Pics have been removed

Sophie Turner and Kit Harington both burst onto the scene in Game of Thrones, where they played half-siblings/secret cousins Sansa Stark and Jon Snow. They didn't have much interaction for most of the series, but towards they end, they were the first of the sundered Stark family to reunite, which was very powerful after watching the Starks get brutalized for years on end.

Turner and Harington have both gone on to have solid careers after the end of Thrones, but they'll soon be reuniting in a movie called The Dreadful. Set in the 15th century during the War of the Roses, The Dreadful stars Sophie Turner as Anne, who lives with her mother Morwen (Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden) on the outskirts of society. Kit Harington stars as Jago, a mysterious man from their past who reenters their lives.

We don't know much else from that,...

Cha Cha Jago lost her house to the Palisades Fire. But she’s more focused, at least at the moment, on how the aftermath of that wildfire is affecting the horses, horse workers and horse riders of Jigsaw Farms, her equine riding company. In recent years it’s been the concessionaire contracted at Will Rogers State Historic Park, named after Hollywood’s most beloved onscreen cowboy. That property, including the main ranch house as well as the stables, has been wiped out by the 23,000-acre blaze, which has destroyed more than 1,200 structures through much of the Pacific Palisades and eastern Malibu.

Jago tells The Hollywood Reporter that after the fire started on Jan. 7, she and her staff led their 17 horses from the stables to the base of the park, beneath the famed polo field. “The horses were stressed, wondering what was happening, because the winds were so strong, 80 miles an hour,...

Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 introduced Dal R'El, who is a distant cousin of Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. In season 2, Dal and the crew of USS Protostar become Warrant Officers and have the opportunity to learn more about Dal's lineage and potentially meet Data. Despite Data's death before the start of Prodigy's timeline, there are several ways in which the character could still be featured in the show, including holographic representations or a meeting in the future.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 introduced a distant relative of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), setting up a potential Soong family reunion in Prodigy season 2. Actor Brent Spiner has played multiple branches of Data's family tree in Tng, Star Trek: Enterprise, and Star Trek: Picard from his 24th-century father, Noonien Soong, all the way back to 2024's Adam Soong. Other members of the...

The worst thing that could possibly happen to a Doctor Who fan is for the show to be cancelled again. Or for it to be broadcast again. Depends who you ask, really.

Despite the advent of the 15th Doctor and the anticipation that brings, there are nagging doubts abroad concerning the show’s future. And that’s fair enough, really. Some fans are just naturally pessimistic, some remember previous crushed hopes around Doctor Who’s wilderness years, and some just look at the state of TV streaming and feel that pessimism is a fairly realistic outlook. It’s also not unreasonable to be concerned that David Tennant is kicking around somewhere, especially given that it was raised by the host during Gatwa’s recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

Then there are the folk who simply don’t like Russell T Davies’ writing on Doctor Who. A previous line...

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1, Episode 15 - "Masquerade"Dal R'El (Brett Gray) finally found out what species he is, and Star Trek: Prodigy shockingly ties him in with Dr. Arik Soong (Brent Spiner), the rogue geneticist from Star Trek: Enterprise. Despite being set 200 years after Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Prodigy has consistently genuflected to the prequel series about Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and the Nx-01 Enterprise. Prodigy introduced a Denobulan character, Lt. Barniss Frex (Eric Bauza), and just brought back the villainous Xindi.

In Star Trek: Prodigy episode 15, "Masquerade," Captain Thadius Okona (Billy Campbell) introduces the teenage crew of the USS Protostar to his client beyond the Romulan Neutral Zone, Dr. Jago (Amy Hill). Jago, herself a rogue geneticist operating outside the United Federation of Planets, explained that Dal is a human Augment, the product of artificial hybrid speciation. Dal's DNA is made up of the recessive traits of 26 different species,...

Hologram Janeway sets up the theme of Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 Episode 15 when she warns Dal as he leads the away team down to Noble Isle, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."

This ends up applying to individuals like Okona and Asencia, technology like Dr. Jago's, and simplistic solutions like the orders given by Admiral Jellico (insert round of boos and hisses).

But the truth will out, and while the jury's out on Asencia's bomb of a reveal, our young crew feels stronger for Dal learning about his origins and Murf taking the literal next step in his development.

Also, who had a Romulan Tal Shiar hit squad on their bingo card? Were they on board the ship that halted the Dauntless? Or were they called in as soon as they intercepted Janeway's message to Jellico about the Protostar?

First, an admiral. Now, a Romulan hit squad?...

Sequel to comedy about a singing group of mates fortuitously brought to fame is likable enough but all too predictable

In 2019, Cornwall’s sea shanty group Fisherman’s Friends got the Full Monty treatment, when the story of how they hit the big time after a record exec discovered them singing down their local pub inspired a good-humoured harmless comedy. One the major charms of Fisherman’s Friends is their authenticity: a bunch of mates singing for pleasure and for each other is a world away from manufactured pop. So, it was a bit of shame that the original film had that slightly flavourless taste of a factory-made British feelgood comedy. That goes double for this sequel.

A chunk of the very likable cast is back. James Purefoy returns as lead singer Jim, who has hit the bottle after the death of his dad, Fisherman’s co-founder Jago, at the end of the first movie.
