Latest 'Alien: Covenant' Image Hints At Trailer And A Face-Hugging Tribute To 1986's 'Aliens'
There are two types of people: those who think Ridley Scott's Alien is the greatest chest-bursting entry in the outer space franchise, and those that think James Cameron's Aliens is the pinnacle of ass-kicking, sass-mouthed, marine madness. While it may be Scott who is directing the upcoming Alien: Covenant, it looks like it's assholes and elbows as we tool up for the oncoming xenomorph attack. Could Scott be taking a leaf out of Cameron's book as we head down a more militarized attack on the acid-spitting creatures.

'Star Trek'—Celebrating 50 Years of Logical Friendship
When I saw the original Star Trek for the first time, it had already been off the air for several years. Though much time had passed, the show captured my attention like it must have the original Trekkies back in 1966. Though the space and science fascinated me, the characters drew me in more. I couldn't imagine a human and a half-alien being best friends.

Behind The Mystery Of The Phoenix Lights With 'Phoenix Forgotten' Star Florence Hartigan
March 13, 1997 is a date that the residents of Phoenix, Arizona will never forget. Spanning nearly 300 miles and witnessed by thousands of people, an extraordinary formation of synchronized lights began to invade the airspace over Phoenix, Arizona all the way down to Sonora, Mexico. Although the incident, as always, was discredited by the US government with their own version of the events, the Phoenix Lights remains the largest UFO sighting in history.

Warning: This Post Contains Spoilers for Star Trek Beyond! Read At Your Own Risk! I honestly didn't want to watch this movie simply because I knew there would be a huge void.

The Emergence of the 'Superbugs'
The name 'superbug' is a bit of a contradiction in itself. 'Super' is often used with a positive tone, implying that something is great or serves an important purpose. Superman is known for his heroics and the fact that he is, well... super. A 'bug' though conjures images of insects or germs. A 'superbug', by definition, can be one of two things. It can be a bacteria which is enhanced to better serve a purpose or function. Colloquially though, the term is used to describe a bacteria which has evolved to be resistant to the conventional treatment of antibiotics. A 'superbug' is known as a bacterium which cause uncontrollable infections, a microbe which can't be eradicated, a germ which can kill when normally it shouldn't.
