Farscapeis filled with a surprising number of love stories, but there’s one romantic connection that I’m still convinced will end in heartbreak - even if it didn’t happen before the show ended in 2004. Many ofFarscape’s best charactershave love interests throughout Rockne S. O’Bannon’s space opera, and some even have more than one. It’s a big part of what makes it one of the mostunderappreciated sci-fi showsof its era. AlthoughFarscapewas canceledover two decades ago,I still find myself wondering where Moya and her crew are now....

With the last live-action movie depiction of Clark Kent’s hero career being that of the DCEU’s Superman, it’s perhaps unsurprising that these two versions of the character are the ones being most often compared in the modern day....

Jensen Acklescontinues to have a very successful career, most recently with his new showCountdownon Amazon Prime Video, but I can’t believe he’s never played one character that feels almost too obvious.Ackles has had many brilliant roles, beginning with his breakout role onDays of Our Lives, but he’s best known for playing Dean Winchester onSupernatural. That show lasted a staggering 15 seasons (and just as many years) and saw Ackles playing the part of the hot-shot, hilarious, and suave older brother....
