Star Trek: Picard To Boldly Go To Season 2, Show Renewed Before Season 1 Premiere

The highly-anticipated new show focusing on the iconic Star Trek character Jean-Luc Picard has been renewed for a second season. Season 1 of Star Trek: Picard doesn’t premiere until early next year, but it has been confirmed that star Patrick Stewart will return for Season 2.

As reported by Deadline, Picard Season 2 looks likely to have 10 episodes and will premiere on CBS All Access. Season 1 will have the same number of episodes and arrives on January 23, 2020. There are no further details about Season 2 available yet, but current showrunner Michael Chabon won’t be returning, as he’s about to oversee an adaptation of his acclaimed novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay at Showtime.

Stewart played Picard in 7 seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the new show will feature a number of familiar faces from that show, namely Brent Spiner as Data, Jonathan Frakes as Riker, and Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, plus Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. For more, watch the latest trailer here and check out GameSpot’s guide to everything we know so far about Star Trek: Picard.

In related news, it was recently reported that there are two new Star Trek movies in development. The planned fourth movie in the current reboot series was seemingly cancelled earlier this year, but ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish has stated that more movies are on the way. However, it’s unknown if one of these are the Quentin Tarantino-written R-rated Star Trek that the filmmaker has described as “Pulp Fiction in space.” Just recently, Tarantino said his Star Trek movie is unlikely to happen, although he said an official conversation on the subject has not yet taken place.

Watchmen Finale: 15 Crazy Things We Learned From Damon Lindelof In HBO’s Official Podcast

3. Keene’s original plan was convoluted, but it makes sense

Throughout the series, the 7th Kavalry’s ultimate goal became gradually more clear. Keene put the cops in masks to somehow help himself get elected president–a plan that took shape even as it transformed due to the revelation to the 7K that Cal was Doctor Manhattan in disguise. It’s fairly convoluted, but the way Lindelof explains it makes sense:

“Keene’s ambition is creating some kind of culture war…the 7th Kavalry starts to exist independent of Joe Keene [because of reparations]. Joe Keene doesn’t start the 7th Kavalry. So he’s the junior senator from Oklahoma, and he sees that this reparations legislation was passed, now the 7th Kavalry is starting to exist, and he starts to see, ‘OK, well, this right-wing terror organization of white supremacists, there’s a little bit of overlap in our Venn diagram of beliefs. My father, Joe Keene senior, was a member of Cyclops,’ and there’s this feeling of like, ‘We’ve had to hide our faces, and now the 7th Kavalry is out there making a point of this.’ At the same time, he’s pro-police, Joe Keene. So it’s sort of like, ‘I identify with both the bad crazy racists in masks, but also the cops. So in a perfect world, I’ll be able to control both sides. And the best way for me to control both of them is to put them all in masks so you can’t tell the difference between them anymore.’

“You know, look, I’m the first to say that this logic makes your head spin a little bit, and as Keene is revealing his bad guy plan–which is a trope of the genre but also a trope of Watchmen…Keene even says something to the effect of like, you know, ‘I’ll admit it’s, you know, it’s a little harebrained.'”

Kevin Feige Says Marvel’s Next Superhero Team-Up Is Already in the Works

Marvel head Kevin Feige has promised that the next Marvel team-up is “well underway” despite no announcements about what fans can expect in terms of which heroes will make the roster.

As reported by ScreenCrush and speaking at the CCXP convention last week, Feige said, “The MCU is all interconnected, but we really focus on one movie at a time.” He continues, “We’re trying to make the best Black Widow movie we can possibly make, the best Eternals movie we can make, the best Shang-Chi, the best Doctor Strange, Thor, Captain Marvel, Black Panther… And keep evolving their stories. Then, yes, it’s always fun to see them come together in a master plan. Which is, I promise you well underway.”

Taika Waititi on How Thor: Love and Thunder Will Be Different From Ragnarok

Thor’s next adventure may still be a ways away, but Director Taika Waititi is already giving fans an idea of what to expect from Thor: Love and Thunder, as well as how it differs from Thor: Ragnarok.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly via Heroic Hollywood, Waititi explains, “we’re sort of launching ourselves again on this adventure film, really. That was the thing really that I loved about doing Ragnarok, it felt like we were just putting Thor on a really cool adventure. There’s always like new things to see and do, and this one, I think we’re gonna double down a lot on that and have it bigger, bolder and brighter. There’s just gonna be some really crazy stuff in the film.”

Quentin Tarantino’s R-Rated Star Trek Movie May Be Canceled

Quentin Tarantino may no longer be helming an R-rated Star Trek film.

In an interview with Consequence of Sound, the writer-director was asked about his long-rumored Star Trek project.

“I think I’m steering away from Star Trek, but I haven’t had an official conversation with those guys yet,” Tarantino said, ostensibly referring to the production team behind Star Trek.

Tarantino went on to say that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood felt like it could be his final film, despite the fact that it is his ninth film and he has publicly stated he wishes to make 10 feature films before retiring from directing.

We Build LEGO’s Massive, Impressive Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer

LEGO released this set in September 2019. We’re reviewing it in anticipation of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, which debuts in theaters on December 20, 2019.

The LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer is gargantuan. Mounted on its stand, it rests at nearly a foot-and-a-half tall. It is over three-and-a-half feet long (from fore to aft) and over two feet wide (from starboard to port). The photos don’t do it justice; they shrink the spaceship down, by necessity, to the confines of a two-dimensional, rectangular frame. This model is something that has to be seen, up close and in-person, to fully appreciate — for both its three-dimensional scale and its surfeit of detail.

Death Stranding Discounted To $35, Its Lowest Price Yet

Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding released only a month ago, but you can already pick it up for nearly half off. Walmart’s Days of Deals sale has brought quite a few discounts to multiple games, and Death Stranding is currently being sold for $35 USD.

Death Stranding | $35 ($60)

Death Stranding is the first game from Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima since leaving Konami. It’s currently only on PS4, but it is set for a PC release on both Steam and the Epic Games Store next year during the summer.

GameSpot’s Death Stranding review scored the game a 9/10. It’s also one of our best games of 2019.

“Death Stranding is a hard game to absorb. There are many intertwining threads to its plot, and silly names, corny moments, and heavy exposition belie an otherwise very simple message,” critic Kallie Plagge wrote. “That comes through much more clearly in the game’s more mundane moments, when you find a desperately-needed ladder left behind by another player or receive a letter from an NPC thanking you for your efforts. It’s positive without ignoring pain; in fact, it argues in both its story and its gameplay that adversity itself is what makes things worth doing and life worth living. It’s a game that requires patience, compassion, and love, and it’s also one we really need right now.”

Suicide Squad’s David Ayer in Talks to Direct The Dirty Dozen Remake

Warner Bros. and Suicide Squad director David Ayer may be teaming up again for a different kind of film.

Ayer is reportedly in talks to direct a contemporary remake of The Dirty Dozen, a war film that originally came out in 1967, according to Variety.

Ayer is also in talks to pen the screenplay for the updated version, which will reportedly also follow a group of soldiers brought together on an important mission.

Ayer directed 2016’s Suicide Squad and 2017’s Bright, both starring Will Smith. There’s no word yet on casting for the remake.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Arcade1up Cabinet Review

Four-player arcade cabinets like TMNT are arguably the most fondly-remembered machines of the arcade era. Two such games, Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMNT: Turtles in Time, are among the most beloved of all thanks to excellent use of their license and eye-popping cartoon graphics.

Now Arcade1up, maker of 3/4-scale arcade cabinet replicas, released an at-home version of the famous TMNT 4-player cabinet in October (see it on Walmart) and I’m happy to say it rules extremely hard.
