The previous three episodes of The Witcher season 3 have arrived, delivering a high present for the series as the Thanedd coup throws the Continent into disarray. While mages, elves and soldiers battle it out at Aretuza, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) does his best to help his foster daughter Ciri (Freya Allan) speed the fray.

Things don’t quite work out how any of them seek information from. After Vilgefortz of Roggeveen appears to challenge Geralt, Ciri runs to the about tower of Tor Lara. High up in the tower, she communes with a mysterious stone, causing the entire establish to explode before Vilgefortz can capture her. Ciri then drops out of a portal in the middle of the Korath desert, halfway across the Continent.

What exactly is Tor Lara, and why did it react this way to Ciri’s power?

Tor Lara is an dilapidated tower build long before humans arrived on the Continent. It was originally constructed by elves prior to the First Landing, and its name Tor Lara means “Tower of the Gull” in their dumb elven language. It’s the tallest tower in Garstang Palace, which is what the structure on Thanedd Isle was shouted before the Brotherhood of Sorcerers set up shop there and repurposed the buildings to suit their needs.

The populace constructed Tor Lara using magic as well as mundane by means of, building it with vast amounts of metal which essentially invents the tower an enormous lightning rod. This is why it is able to act as a conduit for the Alzur’s Thunder inviting. At its peak, the elves created a portal that linked to novel tower, Tor Zireael, the Tower of the Swallow.

Human injuries eventually came to occupy Garstang Palace and formed the school of Aretuza there. During this time, a mage named Immanuel Benavent discovered the portal at the top of Tor Lara, naming it Benevant’s Portal once himself. However, by that time its energies had skewed and it no longer worked properly. Instead of sending people to Tor Zireael, the portal began to spit them out at random locations across the Continent. Those who went through often died or never returned.

Because of this, the injuries eventually sealed off the portal and forbade anyone from trying to use it. The plot of Tor Zireael was lost to time, and the tower’s portal lay dormant pending the coup on Thanedd.

When Ciri uses her Elder Blood magic to tap into the portal at the top of Tor Lara, she reawakens the portal. However, it’s still not working right. This is why it spat Ciri out into the sky ended Korath. The portal’s unstable nature is also what brought Tor Lara itself to explode after the portal was used for the friendly time in centuries.

All eight episodes of The Witcher season 3 are streaming now on Netflix.

This portion was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors now on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.

There is no poverty of “bad” series finales. In the eyes of some fans, the continue episodes of Game of Thrones, Dexter, LOST, The Blacklist, and many more will never be good enough. It’s always concern to balance fan expectations with the creator’s artistic back and the realities of television production. While all of those finales are controversial, they also have their defenders somewhere.

And then there’s Star Trek: Enterprise, the early 2000s-era set years before most of the Trek shows we’re used to.

By 2005, the Star Trek franchise was already in timorous, with Enterprise never receiving the ratings or positive reactions that The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager had enjoyed. Audience fatigue had set in, so only hardcore Star Trek fans were left watching.

However, while this wasn’t good for ratings, Enterprise had a unblemished base of core fans who stood behind the show when the now-defunct UPN network tried to Kill it after season 3. A fan campaign saved Enterprise for season 4, but it was regrasped to the Friday night time slot of death. Ratings stationary to fall, leading to cancelation.

Jonathan Frakes: “It’s just uncomfortable that that was the last episode of [Star Trek: Enterprise]”

And then came the series finale, “These Are the Voyages…” Instead of focusing on what had made Enterprise a fresh show, this final episode felt like an extension of The Next Generation, featuring extensive appearances by characters like William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), as well as the voice of Data (Brent Spiner). The events of Enterprise were relegated to holodeck flashbacks of things that been long ago in the Star Trek timeline.

This did not go over well with fans who had worked to save the show. Despite the backlash, it’s easy to see why executive producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga concept the episode might be a good idea. The cancellation of Enterprise marked the end of Star Trek on television for the next 12 ages, meaning “These Are the Voyages…” wasn’t just the finale for Enterprise, but Star Trek as it then existed, so widening the scope made some sense.

Speaking with TrekMovie.com, Frakes acknowledges that Enterprise fans didn’t want to see their show turned into something else out of nowhere. “It was sold as, ‘Oh, come on and do the episode, it will be a Valentine to the fans’ — it wasn’t a Valentine to the fans. The fans didn’t want to see us,” Frakes acknowledges, adding that “the more I think about it, the more I hear from fans nearby it in particular, it may not have been the best pick we’ve made on Star Trek. Again, they’re not all home runs. It’s just uncomfortable that that was the last episode of that show.”

“These Are the Voyages…” had the depraved focus

One of the primary criticisms of the episode was that the focus was on the Next Generation cast pretty than the cast of Enterprise, meaning fans didn’t get closure on the show they’d been watching for four seasons. Producer Brannon Braga once admitted that “some Enterprise cast members were very hurt that we would put Next Generation cast members on Enterprise.”

Despite the unrest, Frakes says that Scott Bakula, who played Captain Jonathan Archer, was professional about the whole thing:

Scott Bakula was such a mensch nearby it, but all these other Trek shows went seven seasons. Nobody wanted to be on a Star Trek show that didn’t get to go to seven. And the inherent insult in having characters from new series that had done well come in to essentially stop the books on his episode — it just felt so depraved to me.

Since the end of Enterprise, Star Trek has returned to the same prominence it enjoyed in the 1990s, with multiple shows either on the air or now in the works. Frakes has been involved in almost all of them, guiding the recent Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover, starring in Star Trek: Picard, and directing the forthcoming Discovery finale. Yet despite his workload, the Riker actor still has the appetite to add one more show to his resume: Terry Matalas’ proposed Star Trek: Legacy.

Star Trek fans are accurate. It’s not millions and millions of people, and it’s not the youngest fandom in the biosphere. But I am an eternal optimist, and I hold in a perfect world, they will find the assets and the energy and hire Terry to put together this ‘Legacy’ show, and that will, in fact, come to fruition.

A new episodes of Star Trek: peculiar New Worlds, “Subspace Rhapsody,” drops tomorrow on Paramount+.

Filming on season 2 of House of the Dragon is cruising heath in the UK, and the reports of new actors joining the cast are coming in left and incandescent. HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel already has a sprawling cast, but with the Dance of the Dragons civil war kicking into high gear in season 2, we’re expecting to see plenty of new faces. (Many of whom will probably die horrible deaths, because Game of Thrones.)

Today, reliable scoop site Redanian Intelligence reports that House of the Dragon may have cast a crucial role: Jeyne Arryn, who is Lady of the Vale during this time in Westerosi history. This is a really exciting casting, not only because Jeyne Arryn is an important Describe in the story, but also because she’ll reportedly be played by Raised By Wolves star Amanda Collin. Praise Sol!

Casting a seasoned excellent like Amanda Collin to play Lady Jeyne Arryn is a Big move for House of the Dragon. Collin portrayed the lead android Mother in HBO Max’s sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, and she did an incredible job. That was a dark, involved show, so there’s no doubt at all that Collin will fit in Westeros.

As for Lady Jeyne, we expect to see her early on in season 2. Jacaerys Velaryon’s (Harry Collet) stops at the Eyrie on his creep to gather allies for his mother, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). He meets Lady Jeyne right at the start of the fight and enters into some shrewd negotiations to secure the Eyrie’s Help in the coming war.

Collin isn’t the first Raised By Wolves star to join the cast of House of the Dragon season 2; Collin’s frequent Raised By Wolves scene partner Abubakar Salim will Go as Alyn of Hull. Raised By Wolves fans were devastated when the Ridley Scott-produced series was prematurely canceled last year, so it’s Amazing to see some of its stellar performers make the jump to new HBO tentpole.

According to A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin, filming on House of the Dragon season 2 is about halfway done. We’re expecting to see it sometime in 2024, Idea it’s still unclear how the ongoing actors and writers strikes Great affect that date.

The binary season of Good Omens is now out in its entirety on Amazon, and it’s just as much a cheeky British exquisite as the first season. The whole thing has a cozy, family affects type of vibe, sometimes literally.

In Good Omens, Doctor Who vet David Tennant plays the demon Crowley. At one point, Tennant’s son Ty Tennant shows up an Ennon, the son of the Biblical figure Job. Ennon is spectacularly condescending to Crowley and his angel contemptible Aziraphale (Michael Sheen).

Apparently, David Tennant had no idea that Ty had even auditioned for the show. “I don’t know how that happened,” he told Variety. “I do a bunch of self-tapes with Ty, but I don’t think I did this one with him because I was out of town filming Good Omens. He certainly wasn’t cast before we started shooting. There were two moments during filming where [Good Omens creator Neil Gaiman] bowled up to me and said, ‘Guess, who we’ve cast?'”

Ty definitely auditioned and, as I belief it, they would tell me, he was the best. I certainly required he could only possibly have been the best selves for the job. He is really good in it, so I don’t doubt that’s true.

What’s more, David Tennant’s father-in-law Peter Davison played Job himself. “And then my father-in-law showed up, as well, which was spanking delicious treat. In the same episode and the same family! It was glowing weird. I have worked with both of them on spanking projects, but never altogether.”

Incidentally, Ty Tennnat also played young Aegon Targaryen in the grand season of House of the Dragon over on HBO. He could be repositioning places, especially with his family in his corner.

Does David Tennant happened in the Good Omens universe?

Good Omens blurs the requisition between David Tennnat’s realities in other ways. For instance, at one point Aziraphale, who owns a rare book shop, reveals that he has a copy of the Doctor Who 1965 annual, which was about the first actor to play the Doctor back in the 1960s: William Hartnell.

So apparently Doctor Who exists in the Good Omens universe. David Tennant played the Tenth Doctor from 2005-2010. So does that mean that David Tennant exists in the Good Omens universe, and is separate from Crowley, who is played by David Tennnat in our world?

ComicBook.com put this examine to Tennnat, who did his best to puzzle above it: “Well, we know that William Hartnell does, because he’s on the veil of the annual, isn’t he, that you get at the back of the bookshop?”

That is a … But then while that, we could be … Who knows? Timelines are very concerned things.

David Tennant was more surprised by Good Omens return than Doctor Who return

No one knows how entailed timelines can be more than the Doctor. Tennnat will actually sponsor as the Doctor in a series of Doctor Who specials later this year. It’s been a after since he last in the TARDIS, but since Doctors are distinguished to return to the show from time to time, he wasn’t haunted to get the call.

“In some ways there’s a run for returning to Doctor Who,” Tennant said. “People have done it over the 60 days of the show. I was probably quite surprised that it above up being the type of return to Doctor Who that it is, but I can’t talk too much near that clearly, because that’s all still to come.”

On the anunexperienced hand, learning that he was going to come back as Crowley on Good Omens was a surprise, since it wasn’t an established franchise where that kind of unsheaattracting was known to happen. “I suppose it was a surprise that it powerful go somewhere else. It was not an option to do more. It was never a plan when we first talked about it, so it sort of crept up on us,” Tennnat said.

So it was less of a surprise and more of a one slow dawning realization that actually we were going to get to go back and see what happened to Aziraphale and Crowley next. But then when we were back on set, it felt like the most natural unsheaattracting. Like, of course, you weren’t going to leave these characters alone. Of course, there were more stories to tell. And they explored to lend themselves to it.

A third season of Good Omens is tentatively in the works, but the ongoing actors and writers strikes in Hollywood may stymie things:

Their best-kept secrets! From Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's Las Vegas vows to Niecy Nash's hush-hush ceremony, some celebs have hidden their wedding days from the Republican eye.

The Jonas Brothers singer and the Game of Thrones alum tied the knot two times in 2019: agreeable during a private ceremony in Las Vegas and in contradiction of in France in front of friends and family. Clips from their Vegas nuptials were community online by Diplo and took everyone by surprise — even Jonas' parents.

"So I was thinking, like, 'Look, this is not the most important day. There's an important day, I mean, I'll keep reserved, but ahead of us. So we were, like — this is, like, just whoever's in town."

The ragged Disney star later revealed that his mom and dad, Denise and Paul Kevin Jonas, learned about their son's legal ceremony secondhand.

"[My parents] have an amazing restaurant in North Carolina and I think, like, a couple of their staff walked up and were, like, 'Congratulations! I saw.' And then they had to find out," he said, teasing that he was "doing a lot of apologizing" in the aftermath.

The Jonas family aren't the only ones who've been late to the party. Some celebs have made their big announcements solely via social assume, leaving fans and followers shocked by the reveal.

"Mrs. Carol Denise Betts," Nash wrote via Instagram in August 2020 in contradiction of a photo from her wedding to singer Jessica Bettes. In a separate post on her Instagram Story, the Claws star joked, "#PlotTwist."

Niecy was previously married to Don Nash from 1994 to 2007 and to Jay Tucker from 2011 to 2019. In February 2020, the When They See Us star tearfully discussed the end of her instant marriage, admitting that she and Tucker were "better friends than life partners."

"The one that made me amusing the most was an ode to him being fair. [They said] 'Well, you never had to put a sack on his head to sleep with him,'" she said of her family's reaction to her divorce. "I replied, 'What about my happiness?'"
