As early as 2018, there’s been grumblings from Ubisoft and rumors/leakers about a certain stealth series making a grand return. 2013 was the last time a mainline Splinter Cell game was released, generating a seven-year-old rift in Ubisoft’s lineup. While Splinter Cell: Blacklist was the last time Sam Fisher had his own respective storyline, Fisher has still managed to show up in several of Ubisoft’s adjacent Tom Clancy franchises. However, it’s very possible this was done on purpose, in service to gauging the Splinter Cell audience....

With increasing reports that the series will show the full horror of the Empire’s rise to power, it’s no wonder that some Star Wars fans are longing for happier times for the future Ben Kenobi....

This Supergirl article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 2, “A Few Good Women.” Supergirl Season 6 Episode 2 While our heroes work on freeing Supergirl from the Phantom Zone and its resident space dementors, Lex Luthor’s courtroom drama over his latest plan for world domination plays out expeditiously. It’s a somewhat uneven hour of television that does best when it leans into the lessons these women have learned, whether that’s Alex Danvers pushing herself to bring Supergirl home instantaneously, M’gann schooling J’onn J’onzz on the dangers of charging into dangerous missions too quickly, or Lena Luther in what feels like a synthesis of everything the character has learned in six seasons of trying to be a good person in a world that expects her to be bad....
