Star Trek: Deep Space Nine revealed that Q (John de Lancie) broke his promise to Star Trek: The Next Generation's Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). The cosmic trickster made one appearance in DS9, in season 1's “Q-Less” which was a sequel to TNG's “Qpid”. In that episode, Q attempted to play matchmaker between Picard and roguish archaeologist Vash (Jennifer Hetrick) but ended up falling for her himself. Q found Vash's deceitful nature utterly fascinating, and offered her the chance to travel the universe with him, an offer that Vash keenly accepted, despite Jean-Luc's warnings.

The Vampire Diaries featured centuries-old vampires, formidable witches, fearsome werewolves, and powerful hybrids, so it was no surprise when characters started dying left and right and exiting the television show. Of course, minor characters were typically the ones to die or leave Mystic Falls. But now and then, a central figure in the CW supernatural teen drama series would depart, leaving fans confused as to why the actor was leaving the show.

Although Avengers: Endgame satisfyingly concluded the Marvel Cinematic Universe Infinity Saga, it also created a big problem for Spider-Man in the next Avengers movie. Spider-Man joined the MCU in Captain America: Civil War before his solo film series began with Spider-Man: Homecoming, but the MCU’s iteration of Peter Parker has, since his debut, been closely tied to the MCU’s other superheroes, with Spider-Man playing a prominent role in Endgame’s finale. The battle brought Spider-Man even closer to his Avengers teammates, but this will prove troublesome for the young hero, given the tragic Spider-Man: No Way Home ending.

Plenty of feature-length releases have come and gone since the year began, but only a lucky few have earned their place among the best movies of 2023. There may be several months still to go, but 2023 has proved – if further proof were needed – that the modern movie industry is not for the faint of heart. Theatrical releases that once looked destined to become surefire hits have sunk faster than your bank balance after pre-movie snack purchasing, while movies that had no right to succeed whatsoever have cruised to critical and commercial prosperity.

The Exorcist spider walk scene where Regan comes down the stairs toward her horrified mother and her house guests is infamous – but wasn't in the original version. Here's why The Exorcist spider walk scene was deleted from the theatrical cut, then later restored. Often cited as one of the greatest and scariest horror films ever made, The Exorcist still remains the benchmark for demonic possession movies nearly 50 years after its release. Based on the William Peter Blatty novel, The Exorcist was a critical and commercial hit, and one of the rare horror movies to reach renown outside genre aficionados.

Batman Forever almost featured Robin Williams as the Riddler, and a new fan art series shows what that lost DC Universe casting could have looked like. One of Batman's movie villains in the Burton-Schumacher movies, the Riddler was played by Jim Carrey in Batman Forever, but the role could have gone to Williams. Following Riddler's return to live-action Batman movies with Paul Dano as Edward Nashton in The Batman, a series of fan portraits imagines DC's lost casting.

Dwayne Johnson has finally squashed his beef with Vin Diesel and returned to the Fast & Furious franchise, but the timing of his new Luke Hobbs spin-off could complicate the series’ timeline even more. The Fast & Furious timeline has been needlessly complicated since the third movie, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The fourth, fifth, and sixth movies all took place before Tokyo Drift before finally racing past the threequel in Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious. Just when the timeline was getting back on track, Johnson has come back to make it even more confusing with an awkwardly placed new Hobbs movie.

There are several superpowers from Marvel Comics that Thor still hasn't shown off in the MCU. Chris Hemsworth debuted as the titular God of Thunder in 2011's Thor and has since gone on to become a pivotal character in the entire MCU. Thor is the only member of the original Avengers to receive four solo movies in the MCU, as of 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder, which has given him plenty of opportunities to demonstrate some of his most impressive powers from Marvel Comics. Even so, Thor has many powers in Marvel Comics that haven't been adapted into live-action, though Marvel Studios could still introduce them when Chris Hemsworth returns.

One of the most popular and acclaimed comedies of the 21st century, there are plenty of Bridesmaids quotes that will have fans laughing out loud.

With an Oscar-nominated script and an ensemble of terrific actors, Bridesmaids is a comedy that has remained hilarious more than a decade after its release. However, it is the Bridesmaids quotes that are most memorable with one funny one-liner after another.
