The trailer for Castlevania season 2 has come out via producer Adi Shanker rather than the main site. It looks great.

I’m not sure this is supposed to be on YouTube yet so watch it before it’s yanked. It looks like the Captain of the USS Enterprise is going to have a fairly chunky role in season two of Star Trek: Discovery. Which Captain? Christopher Pike. Pike had the helm before James T Kirk took over […]
