Andor is finally returning for its second and final season on Disney+. When we last saw Cassian (Diego Luna), he had just started to help Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and the burgeoning rebellion, more so out of necessity and survival than a real desire to make change.

This review of Andor season 2 contains no spoilers. A show like Andor in times like these feels like such a breath of fresh air. It’s a soul-stirring story about love, loss, and fighting against impossible odds. It’s what Star Wars should be about above all else, not nostalgic cash grabs for the sake of nostalgia.

4 days ago | denofgeek.com | Brynna Arens

This review contains spoilers for The Last of Us season 2 episode 2. The Last of Us is no stranger to throwing emotional gut-punches. Even for those of us familiar with the games who may have seen this episode’s big twist coming, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann continue to keep us on our toes. This episode strays from the game in not insignificant ways, but every change is arguably for the better and makes the final moments of the episode all the more devastating.

The Last of Us Season 2 Just Introduced a New Kind of Infected Variant

1 week ago | denofgeek.com | Brynna Arens

This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us season 2 episode 1. The HBO series The Last of Us has done a great job thus far of making those infected by Cordyceps seem as terrifying as they do in the games (if not more so in some cases). We’ve seen characters chased by “runners,” the still somewhat-human earliest stage of infection. They’ve had to sneak by “clickers,” a late stage of the infection that renders the host blind and only able to detect people through echolocation and sound.

There are a lot of new characters introduced in the season 2 premiere of The Last of Us. We meet Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her crew years before in Salt Lake City. There’s Jesse (Young Mazino) and Dina (Isabela Merced), new friends of Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) in Jackson. Many of these characters fans of the games expected to see as we dive into this new chapter of the story, but game players may have noticed another familiar character mentioned by newcomer Gail (Catherine O’Hara) – Eugene.
