Sliders
Sliders is a US television series which ran from 1995 to 2000 with seasons 1 to 3 shown originally on Fox, with the show moving to Scifi Channel for the final two seasons. It is a twist on the science-fiction time-travel genre. Instead of travelling through time and space, the principle characters travel across dimensions.

Halo 6's Story Needs to be Good
*CONTAINS SPOILERS* It's been almost two years since Halo 5: Guardians was released to a mostly positive reception from fans and critics alike and to this day, it is still a game with an incredibly active and thriving online multiplayer community which is growing even more thanks to Xbox's new 'Game Pass' service. But despite that positive reaction, there were still a few problems that I and many other longtime fans had with the game - specifically the story mode.

Who Should Play Carnage In the Venom Movie?
We got our bad guy for "Venom". It was recently announced that the main antagonist for the Venom movie will be the symbiote, Carnage. Venom, who is being played by actor Tom Hardy, is considered to be the source or "father" for the creation of Carnage. Carnage is an alien symbiote that attaches himself to psychopath murderer Cletus Kasady.

Spotlight on: Silk - The Life and Times of Cindy Moon
To my utter dismay, it was announced last month that Marvel has canceled the Silk ongoing series. While the series is admittedly, not as popular as the likes of Spider-Gwen, Deadpool, or even Squirrel Girl, it contains a truly compelling story, and a highly relatable lead, in the form of Cindy Moon, aka, Silk!

Why Are We Still Watching Transformers?
I was eleven when the first Transformers movie came out. It took me three years to see it, and for a fourteen-year-old kid just discovering movies, it wasn't bad. It looked cool, had pretty people in it, and had just enough of a story to be engaging. It was no The Rock, but still. I skipped the second one despite a glowing review from my cousin, saw the third for a laugh, and my friend dragged me to the fourth because it was Friday and we weren't cool or old enough to drink.

Ken: He’s Just an American Guy
The artifact historically known as Ken — a template for male American imagery for generations — has always been something of a moving target. From his early days as a miniature stand-in for the ideal guy next door in the parallel dollhouse America of 1961 (paired up with his girlfriend, female analog and fellow everyday archetype, the legendary Barbie), Ken would slowly, in some ways glacially, come to symbolize variations in the idea of the average American guy.

'Transformers: The Last Knight' Review
There’s a moment in the final cacophonous act of Transformers: The Last Knight–or it could have been at the start, I’m not really sure–where, if you squinted mightily, the images could be construed as a Jackson Pollock painting. Such is the temporal strain that this fifth installment in the alien robots franchise directed by (for sure, totally, without a doubt, super for real serious this time is the last time) Michael Bay, elicits on a conscious being that at times it almost pulls off the trick of being an avant-garde piece of filmmaking. To the point where you could legitimately question your own intelligence and ability to follow a story. *Caution: spoilers may follow!

Nightmare: Dr. Strange's First Enemy in the Shadow of Sandman
Nightmare, the likely villain of the Dr. Strange movie sequel, proves that Doc has one of the greatest rogues galleries in comics. I would describe Nightmare to any DC fan as the Joker with the power of Morpheus from Sandman though Nightmare's depiction over the years has been even more jarringly inconsistent than Joker's: at times Nightmare has been essentially the most powerful villain in the Marvel Universe (when he incapacitated Eternity, the embodiment of existence, during a classic Roy Thomas story), but at other times Hulk can beat him to death for some reason. In the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, Spider-Man beats Nightmare by simply not being afraid of him. When I saw that episode, I imagined a thickly sarcastic Benedict Cumberbatch saying, "If only the embodiment of all of existence had realized he could simply not be afraid. If only he had a teenage spider bite victim to teach him how to so simply beat a fellow god."
