Beyond the Gates spoilers suggest that the new soap had an explosive first week, with rave reviews from soap opera fans everywhere. Now that the first five episodes are officially in the books, it’s time for fans to weigh in on their favorites!

Favorite Character

This might be a hard one as there are so many interesting characters on the show. Fans were introduced first to the Dupree family, and Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie), Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis), as well as their eldest daughter, Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnée Duplaix), seem to be very levelheaded individuals.

The couple’s youngest daughter, Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) is a bit of a wildcard, but some viewers seem to love her outrageous behavior.

Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacobs) the newest nurse at the hospital is a standout character, as well as Vanessa McBride Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli), who offered some interesting one-liners during scenes.

It goes without saying that Bucky Barnes is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most popular characters. Played by Sebastian Stan, Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes made his on-screen debut in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger and fans instantly fell in love with Steve Rogers' loyal, funny, and handsome (very handsome) best friend. When he returned from the dead in 2014 sequel The Winter Soldier (as the titular antagonist), he instantly became an MCU legend. There was no going back after that.

Although Bucky is widely recognized as the former Winter Soldier, the fact that his time with the franchise began in 2011's The First Avenger makes Stan one of the longest-standing actors in the Marvel Studios franchise. There are clearly no plans on that changing in the foreseeable future, as the character is set to return in this year's Thunderbolts*.

However, that's not the only 2025 story that Bucky is involved in,...

Quite a few shows have been generated from successful movies over the years. Everything from Disney's "Aladdin" to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" spawned TV versions of themselves. But few managed to do so as successfully as "Stargate Sg-1," which lasted for 10 seasons across multiple networks from 1997 to 2007. It also generated several spin-offs, creating a full-blown franchise. For as successful as the show was, it had a somewhat rocky start.

In a 2024 interview with "Dial the Gate," director Mario Azzopardi reflected on making the very first episode of "Stargate Sg-1," a made-for-tv movie titled "Children of the Gods" that was intended to kick off the series with a bang. Though successful in the end, getting the project to air was no easy task. "We were rained out of Vancouver," Azzopardi said, reflecting on the terrible weather that they faced on the first day of filming.

Kevin Feige Paid Tribute To Benedict Cumberbatch (Photo Credit – Instagram)

When Benedict Cumberbatch scored his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kevin Feige stepped up with a tribute that hit harder than a Doctor Strange spell. Feige celebrated the actor’s entire legacy, from Sherlock to Doctor Strange.

Feige got right to it: “You were an amazing Hamlet. You were an incredible Sherlock Holmes. You were the second-best Khan ever…” Okay, there was a slight burn, but it led to the big moment. “But to us, and millions around the globe, you deserve this honor for being the first, the best, the greatest, and the only Doctor Stephen Strange.” Cue applause. Feige made it clear—Cumberbatch was more than just a star; he was the one who defined Strange in a way no one else could.

The MCU movie is the second film in the Avengers franchise starring Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Jeremy Renner in the lead roles. It was released in 2015, and Joss Whedon directed it. The movie opened with a $191.27 million gross.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is at it again, and this time, it’s pulling out the big guns with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. With a release date set for July 25, 2025, we’re finally getting a reboot that actually gives these iconic superheroes a shot at redemption.

Matt Shakman, fresh off WandaVision, is leading the charge. And with a star-studded cast, Marvel’s stepping into uncharted territory. From Pedro Pascal’s sharp brilliance to Julia Garner’s cosmic charm, these actors are all set to craft iconic legacies.

Get ready to watch them make waves in the MCU like never before. But before we plunge into their superhero escapades, let’s take a moment to appreciate how far they’ve come.

Pedro Pascal Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us (Credits: HBO)

Pedro Pascal has a knack for awe-inspiring roles.

Powering up skills in Path of Exile 2 is a crucial step towards endgame character builds, and to do this, you will need access to plenty of Greater Jeweller's Orbs. Path of Exile 2's skills are arguably one of the biggest changes from its predecessor, taking away lots of the limitations and replacing them with player freedom. The new Support Gem system has helped greatly in increasing skill power.

You can equip Support Gems with qualifying skills to give them new abilities ranging from damage increases, duration increases, or slight ability manipulation. Generally, the stronger the Support Gem is, the more likely it is that it will have some downside, like a damage decrease, increased cost, or added cooldown. However, these balance checks have not been to the detriment of many, if any, skills.

Warning: includes discussion of potentially upsettng subject material. Reader discretion is advised.

The Far Side has a reputation for controversy, as a result of creator Gary Larson's penchant for making light of dark subject matter, making flippant jokes about gravely serious issues, and overall, for being willing to shock his readers, as much as make them laugh. Naturally, as a result, many of Larson's most memorable jokes are also The Far Side's most divisive entries.

Larson's tendency to embrace the macabre was certainly at the root of his most infamous, outrage-inducing panels, yet it is worth noting that the "controversy" around certain Far Side comics was more often a result of readers misinterpreting the joke, or at least "taking it the wrong way."

That said, Gary Larson did court controversy to the extent that he didn't shy away from sensitive topics; rather, he confronted them through humor, even...

When you have a series like this coming to a close in a mostly unexpected way, what results is a bunch of storytelling that can seem sporadic with the sole purpose of getting us to the finish line of completion.

And “Fall From Grace” was one of those installments where it felt like they had that sticking point in their minds that they needed some of these storylines to wrap up or place characters on specific paths.

Episode 7 of ‘The Acolyte’ landed this week and it was a retelling of Episode 3 from the point of view of the Jedi. We learned that the Jedi were on Brendok for a specific reason, they were looking for the so-called Force Vergence – a space where the Force is strong and flows freely, allowing it to be manipulated or used by Force users who connect with it.

During the ordeal, we find out that Master Sol was far more involved in the extinction of the coven than we initially believed, and that he played a huge part in the fact that Mae turned to the dark side and decided to enact her vengeance on the 4 Jedi that were stationed at the planet that night.

You see, when Master Sol saw the two girls playing in the forest on Brendok, something extremely uncharacteristic for a Jedi took place. He formed an almost immediate attachment to young Osha.
