Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Andor Season 2 Episode 8. A Star Wars project wouldn't really be Star Wars if it didn't add a few iconic phrases to our pop culture dictionary.

Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Andor Season 2 Episode 8.Love him, detest him, or just enjoy his comedic interludes, Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) is a divisive figure within and outside Andor's universe. A fan-favorite villain, his laser-focused fixation on Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in Season 1 never quite hits the notes audiences expect from the Javert archetype — i.e., the frenzied police chief from Les Misérables whose conveniently simplistic worldview is destined to self-implode.

If you think about the biggest and most loved movie stars of all time, there's a strong chance Harrison Ford comes to mind. A legend in almost every sense of the term, it's probably not overgenerous to say that the Chicago-born performer's charisma, at times either rugged or compassionate yet always as cuttingly human as a diamond, taught several different generations how to love movies.

Shōgun's freshman season, the most Emmy-winning television season in current history, was originally intended as a 10-episode miniseries. Co-creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks had no plans to expand their Herculean vision beyond the events depicted in author James Clavell's equally sweeping 1975 novel. After the series' phenomenal critical and cultural reception, Shōgun's team re-envisioned the epic historical odyssey into an ongoing saga.

Humans share many common denominators, but few of our driving forces hold more power than food. At its best, food denotes stability and comfort. Eating the right dish, made by the right hands, evokes memories of specific people and periods: childhood summers improved by dad's mouth-watering chili and its secret sauce ingredients, for example, or the handwritten gumdrop cookies recipe passed down between generations.

This is our first week without a new episode of The Pitt, and the loss is, in one word, rough. Noah Wyle's return to the hospital genre after his career-making role in ER is a triumph on every level: production, performances, gripping and gritty medical cases, spotlighting resonant yet divisive social issues, and unwavering compassion for the turmoil healthcare workers face every day. To say The Pitt's absence leaves a hole in our hearts is an understatement.

Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Andor Season 2. Andor's first season introduces two Imperial characters who share duties as the series' — and, accordingly, smuggler-turned-revolutionary-leader Cassian Andor's (Diego Luna) — primary antagonists. One, former Deputy Inspector Syril Karn (Kyle Soller), nurses a single-minded grudge and delusions of grandeur like no other.

Sometimes, a spin-off transforms into its own entity and establishes a legacy separate from its parent show. After 11 seasons and enough awards to fill every corner of a luxury mansion, Frasier fits that category. Despite competition from the heaviest-hitting dramas, NBC's offbeat, intellectually-minded sitcom maintained its status as the most Emmy-winning scripted series of all time before HBO's Game of Thrones broke its record in 2016.

Let's face it: the undead will never die. Vampires have been a fictional goldmine since at least the 1800s, and just when it seems like we've seen every possible fictional iteration of these blood-sucking fiends, visionary modern writers make them relevant once again (see: the success of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu and Ryan Coogler's Sinners). That said, some periods have been more oversaturated with vampire material than others, making it harder for stories to stand out from the crowd.
