10 Best Stephen King Villains of All Time, Ranked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stephen King is undoubtedly the master of modern horror literature, crafting nightmarish monsters, shapeshifting cosmic entities, and supernatural demons across more than 60 novels, novellas, and short-story collections. But his greatest creations aren't always the things lurking in the dark. Some of his most memorable villains are much more recognizable: abusive parents, petty bullies, obsessive fans, fanatical believers, and ordinary people who discover just how much damage they can do to the
11 Great TV Shows Missing From The New York Times' 100 Best Shows List, Ranked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Times' list of the Greatest TV Shows of the 21st Century has only been live for a few days, but it has already stirred up plenty of discussion. While obvious favorites like Breaking Bad and Succession made the top 10, readers have taken issue with certain exclusions.

Ned Stark initially appears to be Game of Thrones's traditional fantasy hero and main character, only for the story to abruptly and brutally remind us that this isn't that kind of story. By creating an account, you agree t
10 Best Imperial Officers in Star Wars, Ranked By Competence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There have been many colorful villains in Star Wars, but the most memorable ones are rarely wearing an Imperial uniform. The favorites are usually either imposing Sith lords like Darth Vader and Darth Maul, outlandish aliens like Jabba the Hutt, or laconic bounty hunters like Cad Bane and Boba Fett. This is not to say that the Empire is short of interesting characters, though. There are several nuanced, complex villains lurking within its ranks, many of whom embody that Hannah Arendt term of the
