[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Last of Us” Season 1, Episode 8, “When We Are in Need.”]
If everyone on “The Last of Us” is trying to salvage what they can, the one thing that links everyone is a name. One of the gradual throughlines of the series has been the recognition of when people try to bring out their own. Often it’s in self-preservation, like the ambush kid from “Please Hold to My Hand.” It’s the same tactic used by a man here in the season’s second-to-last episode “When We Are in Need.” Staring down the barrel of a rifle and an ultra-determined Ellie (Bella Ramsey) pointing it, someone who’s become an expert at staying alive offers up a way to continue his streak. He identifies himself as David (Scott Shepherd). And in that moment, he’s already gained the upper hand.
David is the latest in a line of Joel...

Did Republic’s serial-makers lose their marbles? This is an endurance test of a thriller, with 12 chapters that refuse to advance a story beyond the same repetitive ambushes and fistfights. It’s got monsters in the form of giant crawfish bred to… well, bred for almost no reason at all. With Phyllis Coates and Myron Healey. I tell you, watching this feels like watching an endless loop. But hey, it’s quite handsomely filmed!

We haven’t done a random ‘music argument’ list in a while, so here’s a topic for discussion: Really lame bands with really intense band names. As in, bands whose actual music doesn’t live up to the aggressiveness, violence, or intensity implied by their band name, often to hilarious degrees. A Crucial Distinction: “Lame” does not necessarily mean “Bad”. I enjoy many of the bands on this list – I enjoy Billy Joel too, for example, but Billy Joel is overwhelmingly lame, and these things are not mutually exclusive. Here are The 15 Lamest Bands With Intense Names, ordered by increasing discrepancy between “Name Intensity” and “Music Lameness”, using official science: 15. Five For Fighting The band name connotes “Five Minutes” for a fighting penalty in ice hockey, or just five people who are “for” fighting, two concepts that are both slightly incongruous with the ever-so-whinily delivered lyric “Only a man...

Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago after ruling the earth for 160 million years and remain a source of endless fascination.
Our ideas about these ancient creatures were given a radical and more realistic overhaul in the Jurassic Park movies and then in the documentary Walking with Dinosaurs and its Beasts, Cavemen and Monsters sequels.
If you're a fan of those, you'll definitely be interested in the History programme Dinosaur Secrets. The Complete Season One is now out in a 3 DVD Digipak.
Based on the fossil record and analysis by expert palaeontologists, each episode employs groundbreaking forensic science and state-of-the-art computer graphics to recreate battles between particular prehistoric species.
From an opportunistic Nanotyrannus taking on a nest of T-Rex youngsters to a mighty Megalodon (a 50ft shark) ambushing a whale off the coast of Japan, Dinosaur Secrets provides an engaging account of how, why and where dinosaurs fought.
