The first season of "Star Trek: Prodigy" was tantalizing for fans of "Star Trek: Voyager." The central cast of teen characters -- led by the plucky and overconfident Dal R'El (Brett Gray) -- discovered a lost and abandoned Starfleet vessel called the U.S.S. Protostar, a ship that was equipped with a holographic version of the Voyager's Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). It would be up to Janeway and the teens to return the Protostar to Federation space.
"Prodigy" marked Mulgrew's first return to canonical "Star Trek" in 19 years, her last appearance being a cameo in 2002's "Star Trek: Nemesis." Later in "Prodigy," Mulgrew would also appear as the real-life Admiral Janeway, letting the actress pull double duty.
Hologram Janeway was quite a bit different from the flesh-and-blood version, however. The artificial Janeway was a gentle, teacher-like figure who came to embrace the younger characters in a near-matronly way. Admiral Janeway was bitter and curmudgeonly,...

One of the great pleasures of the new season of "Star Trek: Picard" has been the introduction of Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick), the hard-nosed commander of the U.S.S. Titan-a. While many of the previous captains on "Star Trek" have been approachable or at least diplomatic, Captain Shaw is an unapologetic jerkwad. Previously an engineer, Shaw prefers order and adheres to rules, refusing to bend them -- even a little bit -- for visiting dignitaries like Picard (Patrick Stewart). He inherited the Titan from Captain Riker (Jonathan Frakes), who left his vast collection of jazz records on the ship's computer. In what might amount to an act of terrorism, Captain Shaw deleted all of the Titan's jazz. He also disrespects his first officer, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), and happily calls Starfleet security when Seven, Riker, and Picard hijack his ship. He is brusque and even rude. He is an awesome character.

This article contains Star Trek: Strange New Worlds spoilers.
Although Strange New Worlds doesn’t require a casual viewer to know anything about Star Trek, it certainly doesn’t hurt. Especially with the latest episode, the utterly hilarious episode, “Spock Amok.” Right away, even in the title, the episode is referencing the famous Original Series banger, “Amok Time.” You don’t need to have seen “Amok Time” to dig this episode, and frankly, the references to that classic episode are just the tip of the Vulcan Lirpa. (Which doesn’t have a tip anyway because it’s curved. You get it.)
Here are the biggest easter eggs and references in Strange New Worlds episode 5:
“Amok Time” Opening
The opening of the episode, in which Spock fights a “human” version of himself within a dream, references “Amok Time” in several ways. Overall, the scene foreshadows Spock’s actual wedding ceremony...

Back in 1950, famed Hollywood director Joseph L. Mankiewicz released the soon-to-be-classic tale of stardom and backstabbing, All About Eve. The film won a whopping six Academy Awards and garnered another 17 wins and 18 nominations. All About Eve stars Bette Davis in one of her most well-known roles in a filmography of huge films, as Margo Channing, a superstar of the stage. Anne Baxter is excellent as Eve Harrington, the sociopathic, conniving starlet who manages to steal both roles and men. Marilyn Monroe has a small role as an actress in All About Eve, as well.

Fox has released the first trailer for the Seth MacFarlane's The Orville Season 2. This first season of the series was a blast! I was really surprised by how great of a show it is, so of course, I'm excited for the return of the show! If you haven't watched The Orville Season 1 yet, you need to check it out!
The Orville is a one-hour science fiction series set 400 years in the future that follows the adventures of the U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory vessel. Its crew, both human and alien, faces the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the familiar, often humorous problems of regular people in a workplace…even though some of those people are from other planets, and the workplace is a faster-than-light spaceship. In the 25th century, Earth is part of the Planetary Union, a far-reaching, advanced and mostly peaceful...

Bioskop topper sets $32 mil fund
BERLIN -- Veteran German producer Eberhard Junkersdorf (The Tin Drum, Homo Faber) has launched a private investment fund to bankroll four mid-budget pictures from his Munich-based company, Neue Bioskop Film. The fund aims to raise around 32 million ($32.3 million), half of which will come from private investors. The remainder will be made up of national and regional film subsidies, bank loans and contributions from co-producers. The cash should give Neue Bioskop a degree of independence from its bankrupt parent company, Kinowelt Medien. Films to be financed through the fund will come from a short list of six in-development projects: The Prophet, an adaptation of Ray O'Nolan's Nostrodamus-themed thriller; an adventure film titled Goldrausch (Goldrush); teen comedy Shooting Carlo; prison drama Julia; an untitled biopic of German supermodel Uschi Obermaier and action feature Auferstanden (Revival). Junkersdorf and Neue Bioskop managing director Dietmar Guentsche will manage the fund with Tin Drum director Volker Schloendorff acting as artistic consultant on the projects.
