    'Heroes' at 20: The hit show that brought superheroes to primetime (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The sad death of Hayden Panettiere in August brought "Heroes" — one of her most famous roles — back into the public consciousness. As resurrecting cheerleader Claire Bennet, she became the face of a show that burned so brightly during its zeitgeist-grabbing first season that it sparked hours of watercooler chats as it brought superheroes to primetime. In that pre-streaming age, when network TV shows still dominated the conversation, the NBC series was — in the months following its September 2006

    'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds'' season 4 finale pays homage to two of 'The Next Generation''s greatest ever episodes (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Whether you want to call them subspace anomalies, temporal rifts, or plain old wormholes, wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey regions of space (h/t "Doctor Who") have a lot to answer for in "Star Trek". The white hole in "Tomorrow's Enterprise", the "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" season 4 finale, allows Lt. Uhura to communicate with a version of herself from a year in the future as they try to save crewmate (and love interest) Scotty from death by exploding console. It's also an excuse to pay homage to

    'Dark Skies' at 30: An alternative US history viewed through a prism of 'X-Files' paranoia (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    By the fall of 1996, everybody wanted to believe. The first three seasons of "The X-Files" had been a smash hit for Fox, turning FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully into household names, and bringing aliens and conspiracy theories into the mainstream. It was such a lucrative combination that, unsurprisingly, other networks wanted a piece of their own. On paper, "Dark Skies" (which debuted on NBC 30 years ago this week) looked like a blatant rip-off, with its pair of good-looking leads, talk of

    New 'Strange New Worlds' episode 'Once La'an a Time' is just another excuse for a 'Star Trek' crew to play dress-up (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Few franchises have inspired more cosplay than "Star Trek". Head to any sci-fi convention and chances are you'll encounter representatives of numerous Starfleet ranks and eras, and possibly an alien species or two. You may even bump into a particularly imaginative fan dressed as a starship. That penchant for fancy dress isn't just limited to "Trek"'s fanbase, however. Federation officers are just as keen on raiding the costume closet, whether they need a disguise for an away mission, are plannin

    The best 'Star Trek' spaceships: 14 classic vessels from the Federation and beyond (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Raise shields and charge phasers, because we're running down the best "Star Trek" spaceships from across the galaxy. When Matt Jefferies started designing the original USS Enterprise, "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry told him he didn't want to see rockets or jets propelling the ship. "I bought whatever I could find on 'Buck Rogers' and 'Flash Gordon' and pinned it up on the wall," Jefferies explained. "I said, 'That we will not do.'" It's fair to say the artist came up with a truly brilliant
