To Star Trek enthusiasts like me, Colm Meaney is an invaluable gem. In the humorous yet unofficial ranks of Lower Decks, Miles O’Brien was bestowed the title “The Most Significant Figure in Starfleet History.” Given the multitude of crises his character navigated across The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, I can’t help but agree that this accolade is well-deserved. What makes Meaney even more admirable is his graceful approach to the sometimes contentious fandom, recently defending Trekkies against undeserved criticism from outsiders.

🕹️ As a gamer diving into the world of Alien: Romulus, I’d like to issue a heads-up. The following discussion might reveal some spoilers about this intriguing movie. If you haven’t watched it yet, tread carefully! Proceed at your own risk.

45 years ago, the world met Ellen Ripley for the first time, a determined and tenacious woman who battled against a terrifying alien aboard the spaceship Nostromo in the groundbreaking sci-fi horror film Alien. This Ridley Scott masterpiece was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, catapulting its lead star Sigourney Weaver, the director, and the franchise itself into Hollywood stardom. Four decades later, this action-packed series still captivates audiences, with numerous follow-ups, prequels, and spin-offs having been released since the original’s success.
