She-Hulk Episode 7 Part of the appeal of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is that it so wholeheartedly embraces its sitcom format. So, we probably shouldn’t be surprised that this week’s installment opens with a kind of adorable dating montage where we get to see Jen get all giddy about finally going out with that nice guy Josh she met at her friend’s wedding last week. But, because this is also a Marvel show with supervillains in it, maybe we should have known that there was more going on here than just a cute date....

After all, Microsoft had spent the last couple of years marketing Halo Infinite as a killer app for the Xbox Series X, a title that was going to be so much more than an Xbox Series X launch game. It was positioned to be the system-seller that the Xbox One struggled to find, not to mention the first Halo installment to launch with an Xbox console since the original Halo: Combat Evolved, the game that revolutionized multiplayer shooters and breathed life into Microsoft’s fledgling gaming brand in the early 2000s....

The technical definitions are always a bit difficult to understand. Let us first try to understand more about smart contracts with the help of a basic example. Imagine a scenario of a person trying to purchase anything from a vending machine. Here, the buyer puts in the coin and presses the button of the required item. Now, the candy or the item whose button is pressed will be pushed out of the machine through the lever....

While Netscape originally invented SSL in the mid-90s, it didn’t become compulsory for every website to install an SSL/TLS certificate until the Summer of 2018 when Google began marking unencrypted sites “Not Secure.” While Google – with its search engine, Chrome browser, and Android OS – can redefine the internet unilaterally, it was not alone on this mandate. Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla and the other major stakeholders in the tech industry have all made a concerted decision to mandate SSL/TLS certificates and HTTPS....

Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura Of the three characters on this list, Uhura is by far the most iconic and by far the characters who got the most to do in The Original Series and beyond. That being said, Nyota Uhura, a character made famous by the wonderful Nichelle Nichols, generally didn’t get as much complex material as her mostly white, male co-workers and Uhura is the only member of the TOS crew to have not been seen after the events of the final classic Star Trek film....

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 3 In Star Wars, as in most other media, the main character may not be the most creative figure but does need to be the one who grows and changes. Luke Skywalker went from farm boy to full-fledged Jedi Knight between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi; Anakin Skywalker became literally unrecognizable over the course of two trilogies. For now, the characters of The Bad Batch remind me of Luke at the end of A New Hope: their triumphs and foes are compelling, but they haven’t really gestured toward a path to dramatic change yet....

But if Andor‘s Fiona Shaw is to be believed, the series will also separate itself from other Disney+ shows in a more substantial way: “Our world is exploding in different places right now, people’s rights are disappearing, and Andor reflects that,” the actor told Empire Magazine. For Shaw, this quality comes from showrunner Tony Gilroy, who also directed extensive reshoots for Rogue One. “Tony has written a great, scurrilous [take] on the Trumpian world,” Shaw declared....

This isn’t promising. As a TV show, Strike‘s appeal has never been the ingenuity of its cases, with their cardboard characters, pantomime twists and baroque plotting. Instead, it’s always been about the chemistry between leads Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, and an all-round sense of retro comfort. In the first episode of four-part series Troubled Blood, the chemistry was missing and the retro comfort had been swapped for a retro case that sucked the energy out....

According to the series creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong, HBO executives encouraged him to wait things out until they could have as normal a filming experience as possible “rather than have Logan do a series of Webinars we can put out on HBO Max.” The wait paid off as HBO announced today that Succession season 3 will be arriving in full this October. The network didn’t nail down a specific date yet but let it be known that Sunday, October 17 (the week after Indigenous Peoples Day) looks pretty juicy....

While all currently available evidence suggests that Daisy is not one of those unlockable surprises (sorry fans), earning everything in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury will take quite a bit of time. In some cases, it also requires you to look beyond the boundaries of the title and take on unique challenges. So if you’re using Super Mario 3D World to help you survive the wait for a new Super Mario game (or maybe even a reimagining of one of the many lost Super Mario games), then you’ll want to chase some of the game’s most elusive unlockables....

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 8 We were promised a more serialized crossover, and “Crisis on Earth X Part 1” delivers on that front. In past crossovers, there was a clear “home court advantage” so to speak. That is to say, while the characters concerned with the main action appeared throughout the crossover, each episode generally took on the characteristics of the show the time slot belonged to. There were also usually side characters who only got to participate when their show’s episode brought the action into their orbit, whether physically or otherwise....

Not as memorable as the classic HBO series it spun off from, Tales from the Cryptkeeper was aimed at the young whippersnappers who had the balls to wake up early enough on Saturday morning to face the horror-themed parables that the mischievous ancient corpse would throw their way. Therefore, no, it wasn’t really that scary. Creepy? Sometimes. Amusing? Also sometimes. Annoying? More often than you’d think, but that’s mostly because of the voice acting....

The 100 Season 4 Episode 3 “The Four Horsemen” gave us great character development for Indra and Octavia, showed Raven struggle with her new role as a decision maker, and moves up the timeline for the disaster, to add a sense of urgency that has been hard to feel so far this season. We also got a nice revelation at the end that simultaneously deepened Grounder culture and gave us hope for our characters’ future....

The 100 Season 5 Episode 7 This season of The 100 can’t decide which is the bigger heartbreak: the people who have changed so much, or those who are exactly the same. For all that time in space, Echo is still that Azgeda spy, betraying Raven (through Shaw) to get what she wants. Abby is still addicted and Kane is still a martyr, though I continue to be pleasantly surprised at the way the show is convincingly arguing for the concept of maintaining functionality versus trying to get high....

One of the most curious of these abandoned projects is a script written by Bob Gale. Fresh off of co-creating and co-writing Back to the Future with Robert Zemeckis, Gale’s script did a more than adequate job of bringing Strange to life. The problem — well one of them — was that any attempts to tell Doctor Strange’s story in a way that would respect the character would require a big budget, something that was unlikely in the pre-Batman era (Superman not withstanding, and even the Man of Steel suffered on production values — just check out Superman IV: The Quest for Peace)....

The holidays are here! With the collectibles market on fire lately, it’s been a tough time for people to get their hands on some of the coolest comics, games, cards, and action figures out there. But there’s no better time to go big than the holidays: now is a great time to grab those giant action figures, throwback video games, massive collected editions, and classic cards. And of course, we’re happy to help you find the perfect Marvel gift for the nerds in your life, whether they’re lifelong fans or just getting into your favorite heroes....

The Blacklist Season 8 Episode 3 Trailer and Release Date The Blacklist season 8 returned with its premiere on November 13, 2020 but went on hiatus after airing only two episodes. The next episode is entitled, “16 Ounces,” and it airs on January 22, 2021 at 8/7c on NBC. The Blacklist Season 8 Episode Guide The Blacklist season 8 has returned with new episodes, and we’ll be compiling episode descriptions and air dates below....

After revealing the first 11 minutes of the film to journalists, Chaves, who also made Conjuring universe movie The Curse of La LLorona, explains that the intention for the third installment of the main franchise was always to “blow the doors off the haunted house experience and take the Warrens out into the world,” but this particular story comes with a unique set of perils not yet tackled within the Conjuring universe....

The Expanse Season 3 Episode 4 It figures that it would take a common enemy, even one as temporary as the MCRN squids who try to take over Holden’s ship, to bring the divided crew, including Bobbie and Avasarala, closer together in this week’s The Expanse. Although the events unfolding on Io hold the most intrigue in “Reload,” the emotional journeys and enjoyable reactions of Amos, Bobbie, Naomi, and the others are what ultimately make this a successful episode....

From the moment that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier first premiered, it wasn’t really much of a spoiler to say that we all knew that the show would end — one way or another — with Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) picking up the shield for real and embracing the identity of Captain America. But according to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman, the path to that singular image of Sam in his new Wakandan-built outfit and wings, shield on his arm, might have gone several different ways: “We entertained a lot of different stuff,” he tells Den of Geek....
