Confession: Ever sinceThe Mandalorianpresented me with an image of preciousBaby Yoda eating blue macaron-like cookiesin Season 2, Episode 4 “The Siege,” I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them. The cookies play a minor role in the events of Episode 4.

But it ain’t just any ordinary teapot – inside lies a special note written to Pam from Jim. A note that Pam never read, as Jim pocketed it last-minute – until the season nine episode “A.A.R.M.,” the penultimate episode of the entire series....

SinceBlack Mirrorcame out, it has shaken viewers with both heartwarming and unsettling stories regarding the advancement of technology. With Season 6 coming back in June this year, let’s look back at one of its most significant episodes. Often, episodes show a more futuristic setting with technology further progressed than it is currently. Aside from the dystopian-ness, though, episodes like “Striking Vipers” display technology as neither good nor bad. The episode focuses on the digital world’s effect on sexuality....
The holiday season is upon us. Depending on where you are in the world, as December roars on, you could be settling into frosty mornings and bleak evenings, but I doubt that the real-world winter you’re facing will be quite as atmospheric as the icy offerings from these indie games. Additionally, just because it’s the festive period, doesn’t mean you need to shed your normallyeerie intereststo trade them in for wholesome merrymaking....

In the Paramount Network miniseriesWaco, created byJohn Erick DowdleandDrew Dowdle, Mount Carmel is more like a hippie commune than a cult. The Texas compound was the homestead of the Branch Davidians, led at that time (the early 1990s) by David Koresh, a Bible fundamentalist who believed himself to be a Messiah figure. In the TV adaptation of the notorious true story (mainly thanks to some horrendously stupid decisions by the ATF and later the FBI),Taylor Kitschplays Koresh as a kindly, mild-mannered, and extremely charismatic leader who seems to only want the believers of Mount Carmel to lead a better life....
Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi has become one of the most memorable and delightful characters in Star Wars. While the character was previously introduced as a major figure in the Original Trilogy, played bySir Alec Guinness, and quickly became a fan-favorite, it was McGregor’s younger version of the Jedi Master that really provided more depth and insight.Obi-Wan’s presence is and was direly important to the Star Warsuniverse —his relationship with the Skywalker twins, his mentorship ofAnakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen),and his role as a general during the Clone Wars provided alternative glimpses of his personality across multimedia....

When facing an ever-growinglineup of iPhones, choosing the right one can be a touch and complicated decision with a lot of different variables. You have to consider features, size, and price – just to start out. From there you have to factor things like Apple updates (how long with the model you go with still be supported) and warranty eligibility. For example, buying an iPhone X or 8 series in 2024 no longer makes sense because those won’t be getting new iOS updates....
