Eco-horror isn’t a sub-genre that gets talked about a ton unfortunately. It can be anything from animals attacking due to their sudden craving of human flesh like Grizzly or even just due to man not putting enough respect on the name of nature like in Long Weekend. The hey day of these is undoubtedly the 70s with things like Prophecy, The Swarm, Piranha, Phase 4, and a few other standouts. While the output certainly slowed down, there are more than a few standouts in the late 90s and even 21st century. We can’t seem to stop screwing up the planet and as we do, we get reminded that the planet may just fight back in ways like what is shown in Day After Tomorrow or to a hilarious degree in The Happening. A unique one that failed to make its budget back, even with good reviews and scores, is...

Stephen Falk’s Fxx underrated comedy “You’re the Worst,” which ran from 2014 to 2019, is a rom-com at heart … and it’s also raunchy, mean, deeply strange, and even off-putting at times. It’s a show where the central couple, Gretchen Cutler and Jimmy Shive-Overly — Aya Cash and Chris Geere in roles they were seemingly born to play — first meet at a wedding where Jimmy just got kicked out and Gretchen is stealing a gift. Both of their characters are established in their very first interaction. Gretchen asks Jimmy for a cigarette, and he’s irritated because they’re “expensive.” The incredulous yet brazen way Cash looks at Geere in response is the blueprint for Gretchen and Jimmy’s dynamic going forward.

The early days of the pandemic were like living in some unholy vortex. Stores were indefinitely shuttered. The streets were eerily abandoned. And the threat of Covid lurked around every corner. While it has been four years since those rudimentary times, and we’ve returned to some normalcy, the danger still exists in hushed whispers and the shadows that line our periphery. When I recently reflected back upon 2020, I couldn’t help but recall a pair of apocalyptic-style films that perfectly capture the paranoia and the fear that an outbreak breeds – Barry Levinson’s The Bay and John Erick Dowdle’s Quarantine.
Mutilated bodies, shared delusions, and guttural terror. I shudder to think about the last four years of living. What could have lasted only a few weeks – remember when the lockdowns were expected to last just a fortnight? – turned into four years lost. The mere notion that the pandemic...

"Star Trek: Lower Decks" loves a reference. If viewers were to try to count the number of inter-franchise references dropped at rapid-speed in a single episode of the animated comedy, they'd likely lose count. Sometimes the fannish U.S.S. Cerritos crew calls attention to the show's homages and callbacks, but other times, they play out without comment. That was the case this week when, in keeping with the show's seventh episode of the season tradition, rogue tech once again tried to take over the world.
Not only did polarizing, villainous Exocomp Peanut Hamper (Kether Donohue) return in the latest episode, but so did evil computer Agimus (Jeffrey Combs) and corrupted AI hologram Badgey (Jack McBrayer).

This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
After over 50 years of canon, "Star Trek" is littered with several cautionary tales of fearsome villains who nearly brought the entirety of Starfleet and even the quadrant at large to its knees, so wasn't it about time for "Lower Decks" to get in on the action? Throughout the series and especially in the fourth season, certain recurring antagonists have been carefully established and subsequently defeated, though with a few doors left open to potentially set up their ability to inflict maximum damage down the line. Well, that time has finally come as of episode 7, titled "A Few Badgeys More," but nothing quite unfolds the way viewers may have expected.

Way to subvert expectations, Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Episode 7.
Between Badgey and Peanut Hamper, an AI uprising and takeover has been brewing in the background for multiple seasons now.
Who could've predicted that all their daddy issues could be resolved by simply ascending to godhood and moving back home, respectively?
Considering the entirety of the multiple narratives is concerned with the feelings of three rogue sentient programs with histories of bad acts, our organic heroes get to develop some depth.
Boimler plays the long game with Agimus, and it pays off. Rutherford gets the best of Badgey, quite literally. Even Peanut Hamper evolves when she finally lives up to Tendi's belief in her innate goodness.
While Jeffrey Combs is a legend in terms of Star Trek appearances, Agimus is the least well-known of the triumvirate of tech troublemakers, having only appeared in his introductory episode (Star Trek: Lower Decks...

Warning: This post contains spoilers for season 4, episode 7 of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
The newest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," called "A Few Badgeys More," sees the return of three of the show's more notorious villains, all of them sentient computers or artificial life forms. The first villain is Peanut Hamper (Kether Donohue), a small, floating robotic exocomp who was once a Starfleet officer but who betrayed her rank and discovered deceit and villainy were a better way to get the power she wanted. The second is Agimus (Jeffrey Combs), a malevolent computer whose programming broke and led him toward the path of world domination. Both Peanut Hamper and Agimus are currently incarcerated in a Starfleet rehabilitation prison designed specially for evil machines that go rogue. Evidently, villainous computers are common enough to warrant such a facility.
The third villain is, as the title notes, Badgey (Jack McBrayer), an...

Warning: This article contains spoilers and reckless, downright irresponsible speculation about the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
There's a serial killer -- in a manner of speaking -- on the loose in "Star Trek: Lower Decks." Ever since the concluding moments of the season 4 premiere, almost every episode has included a brief prologue centered on the lower decks crew of some doomed alien spaceship in the moments before encountering the same, mysterious object with a nasty attitude. The pattern has remained the same in each and every encounter: Upon confronting the strange vessel, each victimized ship has had to helplessly watch as the strange enemy fires up its weapons, inexplicably drains power from its intended target, and subsequently blasts them into pieces with shocking ease. So far, the kill list has included several classic "Trek" species like Klingons, Romulans, and now Orions, with no end in sight.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Episode 8
The latest episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks sees the return of the conniving and unscrupulous exocomp, Peanut Hamper. She also accompanies the introduction of a new alien species we hope to see again in the Star Trek universe.
The last time the USS Cerritos encountered Peanut Hamper (Kether Donohue) she left the ship in the proverbial lurch (season one’s “No Small Parts”). After passing on the heroic chance to save the Cerritos by refusing to deliver a virus to an enemy vessel attacking the ship, Peanut Hamper transports away from the Lower Deckers, congratulating herself on her own good judgment – only to see the USS Titan arrive and rescue the crippled Cerritos, leaving Peanut Hamper alone in a debris field to fend for herself for two years. Guess the joke was on her.

This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
"Star Trek: Lower Decks" is a brilliant blend of animated workplace comedy and genuine "Star Trek" series, but the most recent episode, "A Mathematically Perfect Redemption," tried something completely different. It abandoned the entire crew and followed a returning guest character from season 1, going off on a unique adventure and only bringing the U.S.S. Cerritos back in at the end. It's a bold swing, but unfortunately, it just doesn't pay off because the episode feels like it belongs on another adult animated comedy.
In the episode, former Ensign Peanut Hamper (Kether Donohue), the exocomp who launched herself out into space instead of undertaking a dangerous mission to help save the crew of the Cerritos in the season 1 finale, finds herself stranded on a primitive planet inhabited by bird people. Her actions there aren't exactly becoming of a Starfleet officer,...

The format break: it's as loathed as it is loved, if not more. Sometimes self-contained one-off episodes can be done brilliantly, as with the great (yet still polarizing) "Breaking Bad" outing "The Fly." Sometimes they're a mixed bag, as with the one-off obsessed third season of "Atlanta." And sometimes they get dragged to hell, like that time "Stranger Things" paused its climax for a heavily "The Warriors"-inspired interlude, or the much-loathed Nikki and Paolo episode of "Lost."
I've always been a fan of a format-breaking episode, so when my fellow Trek-loving co-workers and I started planning coverage for an episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" that they all said will surely divide fans, I had to wrack my brain to figure out what they were even talking about. Did a legacy character get slandered and I missed it? Did the Cerritos crew do something controversial? Nope, it turns out...

In its first two seasons, "Star Trek: Lower Decks" has already become one of the most mythology-rich entries in the "Star Trek" canon, as the crew of Starfleet geeks on the U.S.S. Cerritos often pull from the lore of all the beloved crews that came before then. But the animated Paramount+ series has also built up some impressive lore of its own by this point, fleshing out the world of "Star Trek" circa 2380 by introducing some hilariously on-brand new cultures and traditions.
Though "Star Trek: Lower Decks" is a situational comedy first and foremost, it's also given fans some great character development, turning pathological pot-stirrer Ensign Mariner (Tawny Newsome) into a still-rebellious hero and even letting rule-following pal Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) loosen up a little. With the new season around the corner and the fourth already greenlit, the show will have plenty of chances to further expand its "Trek" mythology,...

CBS has canceled comedy series “B Positive” after two seasons.
Executive produced by Chuck Lorre, “B Positive” starred Annaleigh Ashford as Gina, a hard-partying woman with a checkered past who, on a whim, decided to offer up her kidney to a former high school acquaintance, Drew (Thomas Middleditch), a recently-divorced therapist and single dad undergoing kidney failure.
During the process, Gina discovers that the happiness she’d been seeking all along could be found in the form of giving, so upon inheriting a surprise windfall of money from a patient at Valley Hills, the assisted living facility where she works, she decides it’s time to make a big change in a positive direction.
The first season of the multi-cam comedy premiered Nov. 5, 2020, with the second debuting Oct. 7 of last year.

The Pitch: An anti-love story, Stephen Falk's "You're the Worst" chronicles the caustic, messed-up, darkly funny, and begrudgingly romantic relationship between two self-destructive cynics. Lapsed novelist Jimmy (Chris Geere) is a narcissistic, childish, perverted jerk. Publicist Gretchen (Aya Cash) is a checked-out, self-indulgent, depressed partier. Together, somehow, they're perfect.

Chuck Lorre’s freshman comedies B Positive and The United States of Al have both been renewed for second seasons.
B Positive, the Thomas Middleditch and Annaleigh Ashford-fronted show was the first new CBS show to debut as part of the 2020/21 broadcast season and was the second new show of the season, after ABC’s Big Sky, to receive a back order.
Both shows are airing as part of CBS’ Thursday comedy slate alongside Young Sheldon and Mom, and while neither show has been a breakout hit, comedy traditionally takes longer to find an audience.

If making a TV show is a constant juggling act, then the process of making “Birdgirl” is like adding on a poetry recitation and a graduate-level thesis on fluid mechanics.
The show, which just aired its season finale on Adult Swim, is a madcap animated exploration of a giant conglomerate’s CEO — who just also happens to be a thinly disguised superhero. It’s also following in the canonical footsteps of a beloved classic. Judy Ken Sebben (Paget Brewster), the corporate executive who moonlights as the costumed crimefighter who gives the show its name, first appeared on “Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.”
Balancing a pre-existing character with a series of expansive adventures that cross dimensions and the boundaries of characters’ minds at breakneck speed placed the bar for “Birdgirl” extremely high.

Adult Swim always has some interesting programming.
They've dabbled in live-action, but their main market is adult animation.
Birdgirl, a spinoff of a Hanna-Barbera character, is a wonderful new venture for Adult Swim.
The show follows Judy Ken Sebben (Aka Birdgirl) as she juggles inheriting her father's (Birdman's) company, Sebben & Sebben while being a superhero.
Hilarious antics ensue, as she is not prepared to run her father's company.
Many things make this show a delight to watch.
Probably the most important, the leads are two strong women.
Judy's second in command at the company is Meredith. Meredith also has superpowers. She is a Mind Taker: she can read minds, influence minds, and communicate telepathically.
Meredith is a sweetheart. She cares for Judy and tries her hardest to help her run the company. She also helps her balance her superhero persona with her human self.

B Positive will be on the CBS schedule for a bit longer.
The freshman comedy has nabbed a full season order at CBS, becoming one of few shows to pull off such a move in that pandemic-affected season.
While the show has been expanded, no details on how many episodes have actually been ordered.
ABC's Big Sky recently got a six-episode back-order, keeping it around for 16 episodes.
However, that show is heavily serialized, meaning that fewer episodes were probably a part of a commitment between the creatives and the network.
B Positive Season 1 is averaging 5 million viewers and a 0.56 rating in the all-important 18-49 demo.
The series, which hails from Chuck Lorre, is holding up well in its Thursday slot and pulling in decent enough ratings to stick around.
B Positive was the only completed broadcast pilot ahead of this season due to the Covid-19 shutdowns that plagued the industry.
The freshman comedy has nabbed a full season order at CBS, becoming one of few shows to pull off such a move in that pandemic-affected season.
While the show has been expanded, no details on how many episodes have actually been ordered.
ABC's Big Sky recently got a six-episode back-order, keeping it around for 16 episodes.

“B Positive” has been given a full-season pickup from CBS.
The comedy from Chuck Lorre, which stars Thomas Middleditch and Annaleigh Ashford, was the network’s only new series this fall. It airs on Thursdays following “Young Sheldon.”
“B Positive” becomes the second freshman series to get its run extended. ABC added six episodes to “Big Sky” to give that drama a full season order.
The sitcom stars “Silicon Valley” alum Middleditch as a therapist who becomes friends with his kidney donor (Ashford). Kether Donohue, Sara Rue, Izzy G. and Terrence Terrell also star. It is based on creator Marco Pennette’s personal experience as a transplant recipient.
CBS will debut its next two new series in February. Queen Latifah’s reboot of “The Equalizer” will premiere following the network’s broadcast of Super Bowl Lv on Feb. 7, before it settles into its normal time slot on Sundays at 8 p.

The show will now run through the entire 2020-2021 broadcast season. The news comes after just five episodes of the show have aired on CBS, with the series debuting on Nov. 5.

B Positive is getting a full season at CBS after the network handed the Chuck Lorre comedy a back order.
The network has given the Thomas Middleditch and Annaleigh Ashford-fronted show an additional five episodes, taking its full season to 18 episodes.
