In the "Star Trek: Prodigy" episode "Mindwalk", the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar has learned that their ship is infected with an insidious computer virus planted by the evil Diviner (John Noble). It seems that the virus can be spread through mere communications channels, meaning Dal (Brett Gray), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), and the rest of the Protostar teens can't explain who they are to the grumpy Admiral Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) pursuing them in a massive vessel called the U.S.S. Dauntless. If the virus infects a ship, its systems will be rewired to automatically attack other Federation vessels. The Diviner aims to destroy the Federation before a cataclysmic future event occurs; the Diviner, naturally, is a time traveler.

With the Dauntless on their tail, Dal realizes that he can communicate with Janeway. Dal, it seems, has some mild and latent telepathic abilities, and reaches out to communicate directly to Janeway's brain.

"Say Anything" marked America's transition into the 1990s by sealing off the heyday of feel-good high-school rom-coms and goth rock in the '80s. It was a major and much-needed send-off that is probably still an all-time favorite among many a Gen-x-er today.

The coming-of-age hit from 20th Century Fox featured breakout stars like John Cusack and Ione Skye. Even the supporting roles were played by soon-to-be major players like Pamela Adlon or the children of mega-famous stars like Jason Gould.

But not every actor featured in the 1989 romance movie survived into 2024. Unfortunately, John Mahoney, who played Diane's hypercritical (and hypocritical) father, James Court, passed away back in 2018. The late actor was the oldest major cast member by quite a few years and was in his late 70s when he passed. Before his death, Mahoney had an incredible career in film and television — his supporting role as Martin Crane in...

Captain Burnham takes a daring spacewalk at warp speed in a clip from Star Trek: Discovery season 5, but she ventures where other Starfleet Officers have gone before. The first instance of a Starfleet Officer spacewalking in a warp bubble was actually in Star Trek: Enterprise, in the episode "Divergence" in season 4. While Captain Burnham may not be aware of the events in Star Trek: Prodigy, her warp bubble spacewalk in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is still a breathtaking spectacle.

Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) rides a starship's hull at warp speed in a clip from Star Trek: Discovery season 5 released at San Diego Comic-Con, but Burnham really boldly went whether other Starfleet Officers have gone before. Hunting for "the greatest treasure in the known galaxy," Burnham confronts two new Discovery season 5 characters, Moll (Eve Harlow) and L'ak (Elias Toufexis), who then blow Michael into the vacuum of space. But as they make their escape,...

The cover of Time magazine once proclaimed Liv Ullmann “Hollywood’s new Nordic star,” a designation that never sat well with the Norwegian actress. She was a committed performer, starring in some of Ingmar Bergman’s greatest films of the Sixties and Seventies. She was an accomplished director, with a résumé that includes the Bergman-scripted 2000 gem Faithless. She became a vocal humanitarian, traveling to hardscrabble parts of the world as a Unicef ambassador. But a star? “I never became a star,” Ullmann tells Rolling Stone in a recent interview to...

Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is one of Starfleet's very best captains, as proved by her best Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Prodigy episodes. After making the difficult decision to strand her crew in the Delta Quadrant, Janeway was determined to return them home by any means necessary. Although she would largely stick by the rules of the Prime Directive, Janeway often took huge risks to shorten the USS Voyager's 75-year journey home. Her loyalty to her crew guaranteed the same in return, as they too would often risk everything to save their captain.

Janeway's crew of Starfleet officers and Maquis terrorists was evidence of her ability to see potential in anyone, regardless of their ideologies. Years later, she demonstrated this again both in holographic, and real-life form, when she recognized the potential in the young alien heroes who had acquired the USS Protostar in Star Trek: Prodigy.
