She-Ra‘s Noelle Stevenson on the Final Act: Adora’s Struggles, Catra’s Heart, and Shadow Weaver

After five seasons of will-they-won’t-they, epic battles, and saving the world from utter annihilation, She-Ra gave essentially every character both what they wanted and needed.

Disney+ Will Finally Fix Classic Simpsons on May 28

In just over a week, you’ll be able to watch standard definition Simpsons as technology and the TV gods intended: the boxy might of the 4:3 aspect ratio. Disney+ launched with the very tempting opportunity of being able to watch as much Simpsons as one could possibly want (arguably too much, as it was pretty…

Star Trek Ages Terribly When It Tries to Be Contemporary

By its nature, sci-fi is forward-looking. It has to imagine future cultures from the perspective of the time and context it is written in, leading to bizarre situations where the past of its characters is largely formed with a fascination with our recent history. In Star Trek’s case, that sometimes means ships full of Shakespeare…

Harley Quinn Finally Did the Thing, and Did It Right

As bloody, curse-laden, and generally bawdy as DC Universe’s Harley Quinn show is, it’s always displayed a surprising level of emotional intelligence in the way that it’s handled the complicated, interpersonal relationships that have shaped the lives of its characters. As someone fresh out of an abusive relationship, season one Harley needed to take the…
