I’ve written quite a bit recently about the Gaia mission, but as my excuse the recent release of a huge amount of second-generation data from the space-borne observatory is revolutionizing a lot of basic astronomical knowledge.

In This Episode...

Everyone survives the Filthy Woman's attack, but when she runs out of ammo, she decides to try to talk to them/attack them with her pet zombie. It doesn't last: The truck blows up, which lures a herd of walkers their way and sends Morgan, June, Sarah, Jim, Luciana, and Wendell (with no wheelchair, he is dragged on a chair set on a slab of wood) to the streets. All are injured, except for Jim. Morgan leads them to a hospital, figuring that at the very least they can catch their breath.

What started as some harmless Twitter banter back in January has led to a full-on wedding, with David Harbour as the officiant. 

Apparently, the day after Batman Day is Revenge of the Joker Day.

I've gotta be honest; like most of the video game-playing world, I have been sucked into the titles that are Spider-Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I've neglected certain responsibilities (like weekend chores, but who really wants to do those?). And later today, I'm going to shrug off even more duties when I go see The Predator. It's the weekend! 

What are you getting caught up in today, this Sunday? 

Acting roles are, at their most basic level, jobs. An actor takes a part, does the work, gets paid, and then goes on to the next part. The right role, though, can transcend this basic transaction, and make an actor into an icon. This is particularly true of successful franchise roles, which means the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now, 10 years in, packed with icons. 

What sugary-cereal-fueled kid wouldn’t want to watch a Saturday Morning cartoon about a totally bonkers cyborg police inspector who considers a helicopter an extra appendage and can make an umbrella come out of his head? 

Welcome back to Look of the Week, celebrating the best in TV and film sartorial excellence, past and present, across sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and other genre classics.

Genre continues to dominate this weekend's box office in the form of Shane Black's The Predator, which should collect around $24 million from 4,037 domestic theaters as a hunting trophy, report Variety and ">

American Horror Story: Apocalypse Episode 1, “The End,” introduces audiences to the Campbells, a nuclear family whose oldest son, Timothy (Kyle Allen), has just learned he’ll be attending UCLA come fall. In the middle of their celebration, they get a text alert telling them a nuclear missile is speeding toward Los Angeles.

Frank Serafine, innovative sound designer for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and TRON, was killed in a car accident in Palmdale, California at the age of 65, reports The Antelope Valley Times. 

Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe will be experiencing yet another shake-up at the studio, as DC Entertainment falls under the leadership of Pam Lifford, the company's Chairman and CEO, Kevin Tsujihara, announced this week via press release. 

For too long, Disney's pantheon of princesses were depicted as feeble damsels in distress that required handsome, horse-riding/sword-wielding princes to get them out of sticky situations. In recent years, however, the company recognized just how archaic this was and began to create strong, independent women who don't need no men.

French animator, Malec, and his team have made a pretty strong case for an anime, English-subbed episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty with a new fan-made video.

Happy Saturday! I hope you're either taking the time to rest up, to catch up on all the video games you've been neglecting, or to get out to the movies. There are some great options out there no matter what form of media you choose to engage with! Shadow of the Tomb Raider finally dropped yesterday, and it's definitely living up to the hype already.

Michael Keaton is the best Batman. I feel like I need to get that out of the way before I really start this article. As the Caped Crusader, he's angry and vengeful, with piercing eyes that seem to say "You don't stand a chance." As Bruce Wayne, he's aloof, distracted, and seemingly miserable sometimes, which definitely sounds like the profile of a man who lost his only shot at a normal life when his parents were murdered and now can only express himself through beating up clowns.

It's been rough going for any Batman cartoon to debut past 1992. Batman: The Animated Series, despite the fact that it debuted over 25 years ago, still casts a shadow over all other cartoon depictions of the Caped Crusader. Whether it's the highly stylized, anime-influenced The Batman, or the goofy, endearing Batman: The Brave and the Bold, none of them have been able to escape unfavorable comparisons.

A future Game of Thrones alum has joined the ranks of Rooster Teeth's anime-inspired gen:LOCK and The CW's Arrowverse casts Mr. Freeze's wife in our latest casting roundup. 

Peter Donat, a veteran actor of film, TV, and Broadway, has passed away at the age of 90, according to the The New York Times. He died at his home in Point Reyes Station, Calif., as a result of complications from diabetes, according to his wife, Maria.

DC Comics fans, repeat after me: "Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel." Why?
