Something’s definitely strange in this neighborhood...

It’s been a long almost 11 months since we last had The Doctor and friends on our screens, but at last, she’s back! And things are looking a bit different this time around, as the end draws near for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor. Come talk about the first episode of Doctor Who season 13, Flux, and let us know what you thought of a suitably apocalyptic Halloween!

When does Doctor Who: Flux air?

The first episode of Doctor Who season 13, aka Flux, airs Sunday, October 31 at 2:25 p.m. ET in the U.S. and 6:25 p.m. GMT in the UK. “The Halloween Apocalypse” is a few firsts for the show, in that it’s both technically the closest Doctor Who has ever had to a literal Halloween special—sci-fi spooks are the usual in Who, sure, but having a “festive” episode not set around the traditional Christmas period is a welcome change. But it’s also the start of an experiment modern Doctor Who hasn’t really explored before, and its classic counterpart only occasionally flirted with in arcs like the “Key to Time” and “Trial of a Time Lord”: an entire series dedicated to telling a connected overarching tale in six parts. This time, aside from a few familiar faces coming along the way, our big mystery is just what the deal is with the titular “Flux”, and what does it want with all of time and space?

Of course, “The Halloween Apocalypse” will do more than just kick off the new season and introduce this latest threat for the 13th Doctor and Yaz to face. It gave us a new friend in the form of John Bishop’s Dan, a hapless Liverpudlian caught up in the Doctor’s latest adventure and now on board for the ride across time and space in the fight to stop the Flux from destroying the universe. What did you think of our new companion? What do you think is actually up with the Flux? Are you enjoying what Doctor Who is trying to experiment with coming into the final days of Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall’s time on the show? Let us know what you thought of “The Halloween Apocalypse” in the comments—and stay tuned for our full recap of the episode tomorrow!

14 of Rick and Morty's Most Excellent Season 4 Moments

In episode nine, “Childrick of Mort,” Rick fought a god when they both fell for the same woman. Er, planet. That moment doesn’t make our list, but it’s still a damn good one. Screenshot: Adult Swim It’s still hard to believe—after so many lengthy delays between previous seasons —that season five of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty is almost upon us. While we count down the moments until the Emmy-winning series returns on June 20, we thought we’d also look back on season four, highlighting 14 of our favorite and most memorable moments (in no particular order... though we do have one very top favorite, as you’ll see) involving mostly Rick and Morty—but also Summer, Beth, Jerry, and Rick and Morty ’s creatively deployed guest stars too. “Why can you talk?” Screenshot: Adult Swim The A-plot of episode four, “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty,” follows the adventures of Rick, Morty, and Summer as they attempt to rescue Morty’s “slut dragon,” Balthromaw, from an evil wizard. ...

Studio Ghibli Park Unveils Its Wondrous Valley of Witches

Screenshot: Kyodo News/YouTube With the Valley of Witches set to open March 16, Ghibli Park will finally be complete. Since 2022, the attraction—nestled in the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park in Nagoya, Japan—has unlocked realms inspired by Studio Ghibli’s legacy of films . But it’s not to be mistaken for a modern theme park; Hayao Miyazaki himself mandated that the experiences offered at Ghibli Park should evoke being in a Ghibli movie without disturbing the natural surroundings. So it’s more of a throwback to nostalgic attractions and walkthroughs with a carnival ride flair. Inspired by films including My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, the first phase of opening kicked off two years ago, with other areas opening as they were completed. With the Valley of Witches, which features attractions inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, among others, the theme park will finally be open in full beginning March 16. Media outlets such as Kyodo News were able...
