A polarizing Dexter finale is better than a universally derided one, right? Dexter: New Blood, the revival of Showtime’s hit drama, finished its run last night with a definitive ending that is leagues above the original swan song, but still controversial among the Dexter faithful. Once fans get over the shock that it’s a wrap for ol’ darkly dreaming Dexter, they’ll realize the serial killer’s fate in Dexter: New Blood was the only ending for the character....
The pair told CNET that after the Harrenhal sequence where we see Viserys Targaryen named the successor to King Jaehaerys, “[i]t seemed important that once the curtain went up, so to speak, having a title sequence felt like an indulgence. We wanted to get on and tell the story.” This is why we only see a brief golden dragon symbol on a black background as the score transitions and the story moves forward nine years into Viserys’ reign....
As the middle child in a run of Doctor Who specials, ‘Legend of the Sea Devils’ finds itself in something of an unenviable position. Much like Easter 2009’s ‘Planet of the Dead’, the episode can’t rely on the star power of foes like the Daleks or Cybermen, and people are already looking past it in anticipation of upheaval and an upcoming regeneration later in the year. Of course, the same was true of ‘The Waters of Mars’, and that more than earned its place in fans’ hearts thanks to its great premise and performances, so it’s still possible for a stand-alone story to surprise us if it’s told well....
Change has long been a constant of Doctor Who, and series 13 is no different. This time around, the changes have largely been rung in by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus has concertinaed the Doctor’s next arc, shrinking the new series down from a planned eleven episodes to eight. It’s also recently infected brand new companion John Bishop, who has been filming on the series since November (best wishes for a speedy recovery)....
Here goes then, the officially confirmed guest stars who’ll appear in the new six-part serial, which starts airing on Halloween. Their roles and costumes are as-yet-unconfirmed, but we’ll bring you more news when we’re allowed. Kevin McNally A British acting veteran, McNally has appeared in TV roles ranging all the way from the original 1970s Poldark series to former Downing Street press secretary Bernard Ingham on the most recent series of The Crown....
It’s the ending you always want in a feel-good summer spectacle, and few endings are as feel-good as those in the Top Gun movies. This weekend’s much belated sequel certainly led audiences to believe that this would be the swan song for Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a character Tom Cruise first played 36 years ago. Just about every superior he has in the Navy is eager to tell him that, no matter what, this tale marks his last mission before he’s permanently grounded....
Dr Jekyll. Sherlock Holmes. Count Dracula. Between them, screenwriters Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have dramatised three of the best known 19th century literary characters from the UK and Ireland. Might a fourth be on the way? A crafty Easter Egg in episode three of Dracula may suggest so. Around 56:00 into the final episode, Mark Gatiss’ character Frank Renfield is seen sitting in his car completing a cryptic crossword....
Elden Ring‘s basic story is surprisingly straightforward: Players have to gather the Great Runes and reassemble the Elden Ring to become the next Elden Lord. Along the way, the player’s character acquires a ton of equipment and occasionally bumps into potential allies. However, that driving narrative doesn’t even scratch the surface of the game’s lore. While much of Elden Ring’s backstory was seemingly penned by George R.R. Martin, players will likely discover most of the game’s lore in the usual Soulsborne ways (i....
While it’s not unusual for a major update to feature a few changes that aren’t detailed in the official patch notes, it’s always interesting to try to figure out whether or not those changes are actually intended or merely the result of something that went wrong. More often than not, there’s a healthy mix of both. So, while it remains to be seen how many of these changes were meant to be added to the game in the first place, here is every hidden change in Elden Ring‘s 1....
From delays to questionable tweets, Cyberpunk 2077 can easily be considered one of the most controversial games in recent memory, and it hasn’t even been released yet. While time will tell if Cyberpunk 2077 can “usurp” The Last of Us Part 2 and become 2020’s most divisive game, the project is already at the center of several heated debates that are causing fans to take sides. If you’re wondering where you stand on the game’s most contested topics, here’s a rundown of every notable Cyberpunk 2077 controversy (so far):...
Evil knows how to get the blood pumping. From mundane angst to cosmic dread, Paramount+’s psychological and paranormal mystery series finds the vein which controls the pulse. The main team of investigators are warned they will face their most frightening subject in their latest probe. Though it is said with a chuckle, the fear is universal. If it’s not death, it’s taxes. But “I Is for IRS” doesn’t merely mine the collective subconscious for a familiar terror, it turns the horrors of abuse upside down for an insidious take on the empowerment of darker dabblings....
Evil Season 3 Episode 4 Evil season 3 episode 4 “The Demon of the Road,” floors it in the wildest trip of season 3, and this isn’t just highway hypnosis talking. A random monster-of-the-week cuts the team off, and they swerve into the bony shoulder of every piece of the series’ most overriding arcs. Church conspiracies feed paranoia, a satanic family loses its head, Kristen (Katja Herbers) carjacks a demon, and an urban myth hitches a ride....
It was on CentOS 7 and if you are having the same issue then here is how you can fix it. This happens when a program can’t find any utility to resolve the IP or domain. You can install the bind-utils to fix the error. Run the program again and it should be ok.

If you are new to the world of React, then you probably won’t. What is meant by that? See the react-beautiful-dnd examples. What you have seen in the examples are called stories. And the tool that’s used to create stories is called Storybook. Now, you have understood what we are going to talk about in this article. Without ado let’s explore. What is Storybook? Storybook is a user interface isolated development environment that provides a playground for your components....
When I talked to Cory Doctorow during TorCon back in June, the author spoke about speculative fiction as “a sort of diagnostic tool,” comparing storytelling to the scientific process a doctor goes through when using a nasal swab to diagnose an illness. “When you want to solve something, you often simplify it,” said Doctorow, “like when the doctor sticks a swab up your nose, sticks it into a petri dish, and looks at it later....
To get a portion of the editorial portion of this program out of the way early, I think that design is awesome. Aside from a few scenes in Avengers: Endgame that were mostly played for laughs, we typically don’t see Thor depicted in this way despite the fact that there is quite a bit of text that absolutely supports the “validity” of this design. Part of the reason Norse mythology is so interesting is that many of its mythical characters have an almost “blue-collar” nature compared to some of their counterparts....
Granted, the series avoids the worst curse of narrative bloat that plagues franchises like Kingdom Hearts, but every God of War entry provides intriguing extra bits of lore and context. To make matters more confusing, the main entries in the series feature references that call back to earlier events gamers might have missed if they didn’t try some of the slightly more obscure titles in the franchise. Even the latest God of War games, which softly rebooted the series, share countless connections with the previous games that might elude some gamers’ eyes....
The “lore” behind this Doodle game is strangely compelling. It casts you as a cat tasked with exploring Champion Island: a “world filled with seven sports mini-games, legendary opponents, dozens of daring side quests, and a few new (and old) friends.” Your goal is to choose a faction, compete in various sports events, find seven sacred scrolls, and perhaps finish a few optional challenges found throughout Champion Island. The bulk of the Doodle consists of several Olympics-inspired minigames that are all relatively simple from a mechanical standpoint, but greatly benefit from both their accessibility and how they contribute to the Doodle’s surprisingly engaging theme....
The COVID-19 pandemic era normalized the new office culture compelling the professionals and organizations to embrace working from home. As a result, the team members had to switch to productivity and collaboration tools that facilitate communication and collaboration amongst the team members.
