DC Universe Online: Episode 33 - Atlantis

The picture of EVE Online's next three expansions that is taking shape is exciting. From integrating Vanguard ground combat to completely overhauling the new player experience to fully realizing the big idea of military campaigns, it's tough to boil it down to a common theme. But when the hull hits the hyperlane, the outline speaks of a heavily mythologized, 23-year-old space MMO that isn't afraid to rethink the basics, push more ambitious systems, and extend a steady hand to everyone who's always found it interesting, but too daunting to get started.

2026's Masters of the Universe makes the smart choice to play up the dumb parts of He-Man and not take anything seriously. It’s part Flash Gordon, part Deadpool, and almost officially a parody of itself. These are all good things, by the way.

Seasoned Westeros watchers will see potential problems arising with each scene of this episode. Everywhere Rhaenyra turns there’s someone looking for a piece of her (rodent bites both literal and figurative). Any one of these requests could be key to her undoing, and it’s very clear that she’s navigating a dangerous path. From the impossibly cool pre-opening credits scene to Rhaenyra ultimately swearing to burn all who stand against her, this episode moves almost too fast to track; no wonder Rhaenyra dissociates as she sits on her uncomfortable throne.

Review: Pirates! Dragons! Ships! Fire! Betrayal, chaos, death and destruction... House of the Dragon's Season 3 premiere has it all.

House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4 is a meaty, schemey affair, and an installment that works particularly hard to move pieces around the board in interesting new combinations.
