As a longtime Anne Rice fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the Talamasca! They popped up a bit in *Interview with the Vampire*, but really became central in *Mayfair Witches*. If you’re jumping into *Talamasca: The Secret Order* without knowing much about them, be warned – it dives right into the thick of things! Basically, the Talamasca are this ancient, global order of psychic scholars – they’ve been around for a thousand years! They’re unique because they’re the only humans who *know* the supernatural is real. Seriously, they have more magical artifacts and knowledge than the Vatican! Rice first introduced them in *The Queen of the Damned*, and they were a recurring presence in both her vampire and witches stories. This show stays true to that core concept, but it really digs into the internal power struggles and politics of the order in a way her books didn’t quite explore.

In a recent interview with *Variety*, Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of *Stranger Things*, revealed they always intended to explain the mystery of the Upside Down. According to Ross, they repeatedly delayed diving into its origins, asking themselves each season if it was time to reveal the answers, but always deciding to wait. Now, with the fifth and final season, they’ve finally reached a point where they *have* to explain it, and understanding the Upside Down is a major focus of their plans.

We don’t have any further information right now. For those unfamiliar, *The Jetsons* was a beloved cartoon that first aired in the 1960s and had a revival in the 1980s. The show follows a family living in a technologically advanced, futuristic city called Orbit City.

I recently read an interview with the Duffer Brothers in *Variety*, and it was really touching. They talked about how much *Stranger Things* means to them personally, and how incredibly proud they are of the actors – they really delivered! They also emphasized how much thought and care they put into crafting the ending, wanting to make sure the fans are happy. They confirmed that *Stranger Things 5* will truly wrap up everyone’s story and finally bring everything that’s been happening in Hawkins to a close. It sounds like they’re determined to give us a satisfying conclusion!

Surviving Mars: Relaunched, released earlier this year, is an updated version of the original 2018 city-building game set on Mars. It features better graphics, a redesigned interface, and new content and gameplay features not found in the original.

In this episode, Marie and Cate return to Cipher’s headquarters to search for Thomas Godolkin’s remains. Marie is determined to restore him to health, hoping he can help defeat Cipher. While she welcomes Polarity’s complete support, she remains wary of Cate and doesn’t allow her to assist. Marie also excludes her sister Annabeth, along with Jordan, Emma, and Sam, from helping, despite Annabeth’s fears that Marie is putting herself in mortal danger. Polarity goes to challenge Cipher directly, while Marie uses her abilities to locate Thomas Godolkin.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s iconic character, the demon slayer, instantly became a symbol of the ’90s. This video reimagines her in the ’80s, set to the sounds of classic synth-pop. The creator used instruments like piano, guitar, and synthesizer to create this retro feel, resulting in a nostalgic and perfectly ’80s track.

This LEGO set lets you build the iconic *Back to the Future* time machine as either its standard car form – complete with a lightning rod and the “OUTATIME” license plate from the first movie – or as the flying vehicle from *Back to the Future Part II*. You can switch between both modes, each of which includes the flux capacitor and time calculator. The set also features the Mr. Fusion power source and an orange license plate for the flying mode, plus sideways wheels. And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without minifigures of Doc Brown and Marty McFly!
