    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Controversial Season 4 Is A Celebration Of TV Long Gone - SlashFilm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is a delightful show that captures the heart of "The Original Series" while updating its visuals and humor for modern audiences. If you've never watched a "Star Trek" show, this is the perfect entry point to the franchise. It has the right balance of serialization and episodic storytelling, with each episode serving as its own unique and self-contained adventure while still pushing a larger narrative. Season 4 was no different — it's a grab bag of sci-fi delights

    5 Years Ago Today: Apple TV Launched One Of The Most Ambitious Sci-Fi Shows Ever Made - SlashFilm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Apple TV first launched, it did so with a big and bold statement — the company was here to be the destination for sci-fi fans. Its first wave of programming included the post-apocalyptic "See" by Steven Knight and Francis Lawrence, and the alternate history sci-fi show "From All Mankind" from Ronald D. Moore (the "Battlestar Galactica" reimagining). Apple TV quickly became the premier place for sci-fi, consistently greenlighting banger after banger within the genre, each offering something

    The Last Photograph Reactions Slam Zack Snyder's 'Passion Project' - SlashFilm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It's not controversial to say that Zack Snyder is a polarizing filmmaker. Sure, he's made very successful movies, but for the most part even his best films get quite mixed reactions. It's undeniable that Snyder has a great eye for iconography and visuals, with his films often having striking imagery. And yet, they can be quite flat and empty when it comes to storytelling.

    Lanterns Episode 5 Gives The Manhunters A Comic-Accurate Origin - SlashFilm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In brightest day, in blackest night, no spoilers for "Lanterns" Episode 5 shall escape my sight. Beware! So far, HBO's "Lanterns" has focused on one simple mystery — who is the Manhunter hiding in Rushville, Nebraska. Turns out, it wasn't the xenophobic rich guy that was very clearly being set up as the villain. Instead, it was Zoe Macon, played by Poorna Jagannathan. The mystery served both as a way to highlight the vastly different approaches to being a Green Lantern that Hal Jordan (Kyle Chan

    Why Apple TV's Silo Made A Major Change To The Stairs From The Books - SlashFilm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Apple TV's "Silo" is one of the streamer's best TV shows: a sci-fi thriller full of mystery and intrigue, and a character drama with an ensemble you want to follow week after week, whose relationships and arcs become as gripping as the show's biggest mysteries. In a way, it feels like a show that truly understands what made "Lost" so special — the mystery was a narrative tool, not the end-all-be-all of the story. Based on Hugh Howey's book series of the same name, "Silo" takes place in a world s
