He truly represents the idea of community and embodies th...

(Game image courtesy Telltale Games) Among the cavalcade of video games arriving this summer came one last week from a familiar franchise, and a familiar publisher, whose story-telling approach also suggests an opportunity for strike-shuttered Hollywood media companies trying to figure out a future less dependent on legacy film and TV. The game is based on The Expanse, a science-fiction book and short-story series by William S.A. Corey whose first of many installments, Leviathan Wakes, debuted in 2011. The franchise was built on a deeply imagined future Solar System of fiercely competing Earth, Mars and Outer Belt contingents, breakaway rebel groups, an alien hyperspace gate and a bunch of other stuff built around numerous complex characters, political machinations, and more. The books soon spawned a TV show, produced by Alcon ALC , that ran on NBCUniversal’s SyFy network for three seasons, building an ardent fan base whose adherents included Amazon AMZN f...

I heard myself saying in a voice I could hardly recognize as my own, 'Please never get in it. If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week.'" After Dean's fatal crash in that car, the engine and transmission went into two separate racing vehicles.

Settling on her couch after a difficult stretch at work, a woman named Joan (Annie Murphy) logs on to Streamberry, a barely veiled stand-in for Netflix, and stumbles upon a TV show based on the events of her day: “Joan Is Awful,” starring Salma Hayek.
