One of the bigger ongoing mysteries in The Flash has been solved, as this week’s episode revealed the origin of Caitlin Snow’s Killer Frost powers.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for “The Icicle Cometh”!

Last season, viewers learned that Caitlin originally manifested her Killer Frost powers as a child, contradicting the belief that she had been transformed by the STAR Labs particle accelerator explosion like most of Central City’s metahumans. So if it wasn’t the dark matter that did it, how did Caitlin become a metahuman years before Barry and Cisco?

This review contains spoilers for The Flash Season 5, episode 6, titled “The Icicle Cometh.”

The Flash has been teasing the mystery of Caitlin’s father for a while now, so in some respects, it’s refreshing that the show is offering answers so early in the season with “The Icicle Cometh.” Unfortunately, those answers are delivered via some of the show’s clunkiest dialogue and most predictable plot twists in recent memory. After losing her fiance, having a decidedly chilly relationship with her mother, and sharing her body with a murderous alter-ego, it’s just Caitlin’s luck that her long-lost father would also be a despotic villain.

The bad guy dad twist would be forgivable if it wasn’t so painfully obvious, but between Cisco’s suspicions and Caitlin’s blind hope that she’ll finally get a happy reunion with her long-lost pop, the episode telegraphs Caitlin’s heartbreak from the jump. And while none of the Arrowverse shows are known for their nuanced writing, having a villain dramatically explain every attack they launch (or awkwardly declare, “more superheroes to freeze!” when the heroes show up) is even more egregious than Arnold Schwarzenegger’s dialogue in Batman & Robin. (Puns are way more forgivable than stating the obvious.)

Minor SPOILERS ahead for Ralph Breaks the Internet.

It’s become commonplace in big event movies, especially Disney releases, to include end credits scenes and it turns out that the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph is no exception.

Ralph Breaks the Internet includes not one but two short scenes during the end credits.

The first is a mid-credits scene that will be familiar to those who enjoyed the movie’s trailers.

The second is a post-credits scene that, befitting the nature of this story, pokes fun at one of the most watched and satirized music videos online.

Welcome, Battlefield fans! Now that we’ve taken in-depth looks at the single-player and multiplayer sides of Battlefield V, it’s time for our final overview and verdict. For the full picture, make sure to check out each part.

While it’s absolutely a massive and addictive shooter, there’s little question in my mind that Battlefield V launched well before it was ready. Between the brevity and lack of gameplay variety in the single-player campaign, the problems that arise when playing anything other than Conquest on certain maps, and perhaps most troubling of all, the frequent and sometimes game-breaking bugs are all issues that seem like they could be solved with a couple more months of development time.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was October 2018’s best-selling game in North America, beating out Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 in this highly-competitive month.

Not only did Black Ops 4 become the best-selling game of the month, it almost instantly became the best-selling game of the year, and its launch month dollar sales are the eighth highest on record since NPD began tracking game sales in 1995. Black Ops 4 was the best-selling game of October on both PlayStation 4  and Xbox One.

Though exact numbers weren’t provided in NPD’s official report, we do know Black Ops 4 had a two week head start, and Red Dead Redemption 2 only had nine days that it was on sale in NPD’s October window ending on November 3. These launch month sales were more than triple what the original Red Dead Redemption sold in its launch month, and it’s already the second best-selling game of the year.

Creator J.K. Rowling is known for adding intense plot twists in the Harry Potter universe, and the narrative for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is no different.

At the end of the film, the kind-hearted and upbeat Queenie Goldstein, portrayed by Alison Sudol, can be seen joining Grindelwald on the “dark side,” shocking everyone but herself.
