The universe is big, weird, and filled with unexpected things. It’s the reason we send space probes to far reaches of our solar system and into deep space, it’s the reason we build telescopes, and it’s the reason we send astronauts hurdling into the abyss. In the pilot episode of Farscape (streaming now on Peacock), astronaut John Crichton hops aboard an experimental spacecraft designed to use Earth’s gravity to slingshot into deep space.

Before the late ‘80s, most people didn’t really think about the rainforest; the concept of such a place hadn’t yet entered into the public consciousness. When people thought about dense, tropical forest environments like those found in the Amazon, Congo, and elsewhere, they were mostly thought of as the jungle. That’s a word which conjures the stories of Rudyard Kipling and Edgar Rice Burroughs, it evokes images of fearsome places filled with mysterious and monstrous creatures.

Since before recorded history, humanity has looked up at the stars and wondered if we’re alone in the universe. Now, astronomers may be on the brink of finding out for sure. To date, more than 5,000 exoplanets have been discovered throughout the cosmos, but so far none of them have shown any telltale signs of being inhabited. No matter where we look, we haven’t found any hint of Harry Vanderspeigle (or any of the extraterrestrials from Resident Alien, for that matter).

After hitting theaters in late 1973, The Exorcist became a full-blown cultural phenomenon, which meant that sequels set in the same universe were bound to follow eventually. A direct sequel, Exorcist II: The Heretic, landed four years later, while a loosely connected follow-up, The Exorcist III, emerged in 1990. But it wasn't until three decades after the original film that audiences got a look at a prequel which set the stage for The Exorcist's final demonic confrontation.
