Back to the Future With Star Trek: Discovery’s Production Designer
Star Trek: Discovery has been boldly going places even past incarnations of the iconic TV series have never been. It took a mere two episodes for the show to break completely new ground; the Starfleet’s first mutiny carried out by the star of the show, Sonequa Martin Green’s Michael Burnham.
The major advances are not the only narrative. Behind the scenes, a top-flight crew has been making the most of the latest technology and some very special locations to pull off the kind of show Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry would have loved and made,

Watch Jordan Peele Cross Over Into The Twilight Zone
Last night’s Super Bowl game was a little strange. At times it felt as though we may have crossed over into The Twilight Zone. That low score was real, but we did get one brief glimpse of dimensions beyond when Jordan Peele took to the field in a new promo for the upcoming reboot.
The Twilight Zone teaser cut into the Super Bowl broadcast drawing us from normalcy to the strange and unusual just as characters in the classic show did.
Behold Bud Light’s Game of Thrones Super Bowl Ad
Big brands have always used the Super Bowl as an opportunity to flex their creative muscles. While we always expect new spots for major movies during the big game, like last night’s Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, it’s always a guessing game which company will bring our their narrative big guns.

True crime fans have long obsessed over the “Black Dahlia” murder that first made headlines in 1947 when 22-year old aspiring actress Elizabeth Short turned up mutilated on the streets of Los Angeles.

Lena Headey is Rooting for Cersei in Game of Thrones
Cersei has a real shot at ending up on the Iron Throne, but it would probably be the least popular ending to Game of Thrones.

When actress Lena Headey stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host tried to pry clues about whether Cersei would finally have her way.
The Final Episodes of Game of Thrones Will be Movie-Like
We’ve known for quite a while now that the final six episodes of Game of Thrones would be longer than average. We’ve known that because the shortened season involves the largest battle the show has ever filmed, and there’s no way they’d try to cram that into six normal-sized episodes. You don’t spend 55-days shooting likely the largest battle ever produced for television and then not use your considerable clout to get HBO to agree to longer-than-normal episodes.

So we’ve all watched that cryptic Game of Thrones teaser, correct? HBO has become expert at creating teasers that don’t actually show us footage from the upcoming season but are more like very beautifully crafted, narratively relevant art pieces.
