8 Great Sci-Fi Shows Overshadowed by ‘Lost’
There is no exaggeration in saying that Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof‘s Lost revolutionized not just science fiction television, but American broadcast television as a whole. This cult classic was a pioneer of the “mystery box” genre, a storytelling style all about stories that rely on endless mysteries and shocking twists. With this kind of groundbreaking serialization and complex mythology being brought to mainstream network TV, things were never the same again.
Thankfully, for all those who love Lost and crave similar experiences, there are many shows out there that are remarkably similar. But while some masterpieces, such as Dark or Severance, can be argued to be superior to Lost, there are other similar shows that are actually somewhat overshadowed by ABC’s genre-defining classic. They’re still absolutely phenomenal series, but for one reason or another, they aren’t quite able to live up to the pop-cultural phenomenon that was Lost.

‘Taken’ (2002)
Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Taken is one of the greatest sci-fi miniseries masterpieces of all time and a must-see for fans of the filmmaker. It’s a generations-spanning epic taking place from 1944 to 2002, and following the lives of three families connected by an alien visit. This sort of multi-generational storytelling is the kind of hyper-ambitious concept you typically expect to see in shows spanning several seasons. That only makes the fact that Taken condenses its story over the course of just 10 episodes all the more admirable.
Like Lost, Taken is a highly complex sci-fi series with a fascinating mythology, intertwining character storylines, and sprawling mysteries. And while Lost‘s full-series format allowed it to push the envelope far more often than Taken ever did, ensuring the timelessness of its cultural impact, this criminally underrated DreamWorks Television production should nevertheless not be underestimated.

‘Westworld’ (2016–2022)
Over the course of the 21st century, HBO has produced several of the greatest shows of the modern era belonging to all sorts of genres—sci-fi included, of course. Case in point: Westworld. Though the consensus is that the show’s only truly great season is its first one, since it quickly became one of those sci-fi shows with several plot holes as it went along, this is nevertheless one of the most iconic HBO sci-fi series ever.
After all, if there’s anything that Lost fans are already perfectly familiar with, it’s a sci-fi series that squanders some of its potential as it nears its end, but is absolutely exceptional nevertheless. Lost may have a stronger balance of complex mysteries and deeply resonant character work, but Westworld‘s tremendous production values and philosophical depth are still enough to make it an incredible series.
6
‘The OA’ (2016–2019)
Any sci-fi fan who’s had a Netflix subscription for a while should know that throughout its history, the streaming giant has canceled many a show that had outstanding potential. One such show is The OA, which had to end on a cliffhanger due to its massive budget and relatively low viewership. But even with its cancellation, The OA has only kept growing more and more of a passionate cult following in the years since its tragic conclusion.
Like Lost, this is a heavily non-linear mystery box puzzle that never gets tired of throwing a hundred unanswered questions at the audience. And while the fact that Lost was actually afforded the chance of finishing off the many mysteries of its mythology almost automatically makes it superior, The OA‘s radical creativity and exquisitely avant-garde tone make it essential viewing for those who prefer more intellectually elevated science fiction.
5
‘Silo’ (2023–Present)
Based on Hugh Howey‘s trilogy of novels, Silo is one of many pieces of proof that few players in the streaming game are nailing sci-fi quite as well as Apple TV. It’s one of the sci-fi shows with the best world-building, a gripping and deeply claustrophobic mystery led by Rebecca Ferguson at the top of her game. It’s definitely a bit of a slow-burner, but that pace feels essential to the way the story has evolved over the course of three amazing seasons.
It’s not exactly a mystery box show like Lost is, but Silo is also about a group of people slowly uncovering the truth about the strange environment they’re trapped in. Lost had better character development and a far larger level of cultural impact, but there’s no denying just how incredible the world-building in Silo is, making the mystery resolutions the show occasionally offers incredibly rewarding.
4
‘From’ (2022–Present)
Created by John Griffin and starring Lost‘s own Harold Perrineau, From is one of the best sci-fi horror shows of the 21st century as a whole. It’s a mystery box series through and through, but the thing that makes it special is how its many mysteries never feel like the show’s focused. Rather, it’s how the intrigue of those mysteries is leveraged to elevate the narrative’s character depth and immersive atmosphere that sets From apart.
Just like Lost, it’s one of the best mystery shows to rewatch, thanks to how addictive it is to pick up the hidden clues and little sprinkles of foreshadowing thrown into every episode. Lost has considerably deeper character arcs and storytelling that feels far more groundbreaking, but that shouldn’t pull anyone away from discovering From. Scary, mind-bending, and delightful to come up with theories about, this is one of the greatest mystery box shows currently on television.
3
‘The 100’ (2014–2020)
Those whose main reason for loving Lost is Desmond Hume ought to check The 100, starring Henry Ian Cusick in a secondary role, out. But aside from having an incredible ensemble cast, The 100 is genuinely one of the most underappreciated sci-fi shows of the 2010s. Based on the young adult novel series by Kass Morgan, it’s one of those teen shows that seem to grow darker, deeper, and more mature as their audience grows up alongside them.
It’s one of those obscure sci-fi shows that became cult classics, built on the same trope of survivors thrown into a mysterious world as Lost. And while Lost is considerably more groundbreaking and packed with emotional and thematic depth, The 100 is never afraid to wear its Lost influences on its sleeve, making it essential viewing for all fans of the ABC masterpiece.
2
‘Jericho’ (2006–2008)
Post-apocalyptic science fiction can often be hit-or-miss, but anyone who watches Jericho should admit that this one is a definitive hit. Canceled after only one season due to low ratings, then brought back for another season thanks to fan campaigns, and then finally canceled again, Jericho has nevertheless aged like fine wine. Hugely addictive and binge-worthy, it’s one of those thriller shows that feel like they were built for streaming.
This was another instance of a 2000s sci-fi series that was heavily inspired by Lost‘s signature structural and narrative style. And while Lost may have higher stakes and more compelling mysteries (as well as the added advantage of not having been canceled before its time), Jericho is nevertheless an incredible series. Its cast is fantastic, its characters are interesting, and its many mysteries are still fascinating all these many years later.
1
‘Fringe’ (2008–2013)
Shortly after exiting Lost to focus on directing Mission: Impossible III, J. J. Abrams went on to co-create Fringe with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Considering the J. J. Abrams connection, it should come as no surprise that both shows are remarkably similar in many ways, sharing a similar DNA based on alternate realities, time travel, and a sprawling mythology that feels ever-growing.
But while Lost still maintains a level of cultural impact similar to what it once held, Fringe is one of those underrated sci-fi shows worth watching over and over again. Was Lost more revolutionary, psychologically deep, and overall creative? Sure, but that doesn’t take away the fact that Fringe is one of the best sci-fi series of the 2000s and 2010s. Combining compelling serialization with case-of-the-week elements brilliantly, it’s a masterpiece that may be overshadowed by Lost, but deserves just as many fans.

Travis Kelce Returns to Training After Taylor Swift Wedding
Travis Kelce is getting ready for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs — weeks after his and Taylor Swift‘s wedding.
Kelce, 36, was photographed returning to training in Florida on Thursday, July 16. He wore a black T-shirt and gray athletic shorts during the public outing, which came weeks after he got married to Swift, 36, in New York City.
The Chiefs open training camp on July 29 at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,” read a July statement from Swift’s rep about the nuptials. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
The statement continued: “Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”
Kelce confirmed in March that he would be returning for his 14th season with the Chiefs after months of speculation about his professional future. The athlete announced his decision on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, saying, “Let’s go! Making another run at it, baby, and the Chiefs are making moves, Pat.”
At the time, Kelce credited Swift, 36, for her support.
“We share the same love for what we do, and we’ve had this … desire,” Kelce shared at the time. “I’m still in love with this game.”
Kelce noted that he knew “about midway through” the previous season that he would return.
“You know, I think I was taking Jason Kelce’s advice,” Travis explained on a March episode of the “New Heights” podcast, referencing his older brother. “I was taking the advice to take a step back, because you gotta let the emotions clear and you gotta have a clear head. I’ve made decisions based on emotions and they haven’t always played out the right way. So I think taking a step back, letting the emotions settle down, the frustrations from the season — of course I want to come back. Of course I don’t want to end my career not making the playoffs, not having one of the best years.”
The tight end recalled realizing “it still felt like I was hungry enough to get back at it.”
“Obviously there’s still a little bit of that grit and that emotion, you know, I f***ing hated the way that s*** ended last year,” he continued. “I want to make it right. And I want to get a chance at another f***ing Super Bowl.”
The Chiefs open the 2026 regular season on September 14, at home against the Denver Broncos.

Mick Jagger Draws Hard Line On AI Recreating The Rolling Stones
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the music industry, Mick Jagger is making one thing clear: he has no interest in hearing computers recreate The Rolling Stones.
The legendary frontman recently addressed the growing use of AI in music, drawing a distinction between creative experimentation and technology that simply copies existing artists. While The Rolling Stones have dabbled with AI-assisted visuals, Jagger says the line is crossed when artificial intelligence begins replicating the voices, sounds, and identities of real musicians.

Speaking in a new interview with Billboard, Jagger reflected on the band’s recent experience using deepfake technology in the music video for “In the Stars,” a track featured on The Rolling Stones’ newly released album “Foreign Tongues.”
The video digitally transformed the band’s appearance, allowing younger versions of the musicians to appear on screen. However, Jagger emphasized that the technology was limited to visual effects rather than replacing the performers themselves. “We had a lot of fun with that,” Jagger explained. “It’s only the faces of the musicians that are different.”
According to the singer, the performers remained real musicians playing in a real environment, with the digital effects serving only to recreate the band’s youthful appearance.
The Rolling Stones Draw The Line At AI Music Clones

While Jagger appeared comfortable with AI’s role in visual storytelling, he expressed significant concern about technology being used to replicate artists’ voices and musical styles. “Obviously I don’t want to be imitated by AI, vocally and instrumentally, and the band doesn’t,” Jagger said.
Jagger argued that technology should be used to create something original rather than produce near-identical copies of existing musicians. “I don’t want people just putting stuff out there that can sound exactly like The Rolling Stones,” he said. “I think that’s obviously wrong.”
His comments arrive as record labels, artists, and lawmakers continue debating how AI-generated music should be regulated. In recent years, viral songs using artificial versions of major artists’ voices have sparked lawsuits and renewed discussions about copyright protections in the streaming era.
In fact, Billie Eilish was one of more than 200 artists who signed an Artist Rights Alliance open letter in April 2024 urging AI developers and tech companies to stop using AI in ways that could “infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists.” The signatures included Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Jon Bon Jovi, and others.
Keith Richards Wants Originality, Not Replication

Fellow Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards echoed Jagger’s concerns while offering his own perspective on the growing AI trend.
Richards described the band’s recent music video as its brief “brushing with AI” and joked that seeing a younger version of himself on screen was flattering. “I said, ‘Very nice. I wish I looked like that now,’” Richards recalled.
Still, the guitarist made it clear he believes music should continue to be driven by human creativity rather than algorithms trained on existing work. “My thoughts are: I’d rather hear something original,” Richards told Billboard.
He added that music should continue evolving through new ideas instead of endlessly recycling familiar sounds.
AI Continues To Divide The Music Industry

Jagger’s comments place him among a growing number of high-profile artists voicing concerns about how artificial intelligence is being used across the entertainment industry.
The debate has intensified as AI tools become increasingly capable of recreating vocals, generating songs, and mimicking the styles of established performers. While some artists have embraced the technology as a creative tool, others worry it could blur the line between inspiration and imitation.
For Jagger, the issue appears less about artificial intelligence itself and more about how it’s used. “If someone wants to make music by AI, go ahead,” he said. “But it has to be original. You have to have your own input and your own thoughts.”
Mick Jagger Says AI Should Inspire Creativity, Not Copy It

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer added that using AI solely to generate songs “in the style of The Rolling Stones” misses the point of creativity altogether. “If you were any kind of creative person,” Jagger said, “you wouldn’t do that.”
The comments arrive as “Foreign Tongues,” The Rolling Stones’ latest studio album, continues introducing the band’s music to a new generation while simultaneously sparking conversation about how technology may shape the future of the industry.

General Hospital: Jason Brutally Dumps Britt & Sonny in Double Heartbreak!
General Hospital delivers Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) back on the scene, but he has changed drastically while being tortured by the WSB. We know from official GH spoilers that with Steve Burton back, his character is going to change the way he lives his life and go in a whole new direction.
And we’re already seeing that with Jason pledging to Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) that he is all that matters now. So, Jason may shock fans soon and may also shock Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). And let’s talk about Jason’s big life changes because he may be breaking up with a couple of people in his life.
General Hospital: Britt Circling the Drain
First, let’s start with Jason and Britt. She is almost at rock bottom. Not quite there, but I think she’s going to hit it soon. Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) left her with nothing. And I expect Britt’s going to beg for her job back at General Hospital. She lost her room at the diner to new surgeon Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer).
And I kind of suspect he may be Britt’s next love interest because we know Dean Geyer did chemistry reads with both Kelly Thiebaud and Eden McCoy Josslyn Jacks. But from the vibe in those first scenes with him and Britt, to me, that’s giving the whole enemies to lovers thing. That’s another sign that she and Jason aren’t going to last.
Jason’s New Direction and Relationship Changes on GH
So, already Jason took Danny away for a few days. Jason’s clearly also got PTSD from the terrible things done to him at that WSB black site. And this ordeal might have reset Jason’s priority. Also, some fans are hoping that Jason got back his memories, the ones he lost in the car crash with his brother AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan). I’m not expecting that because we’ve known from a bunch of other stuff that there’s scar tissue on his brain, all that. But you never know, they might win it.
But with the return of Steve Burton, it definitely seems like we’ve got a kinder, gentler, more fatherhood focused version of Jason coming out of this trauma. And he may start cutting things out of his life that could take him away from Danny again. And I would also expect Jason’s going to avoid anything that would risk him going back into prison with the WSB at Pentonville, any sort of confinement after what happened.
One of those things that’s a risk to him is Britt. She’s a problem because of the danger that Jason got in because of her. Even though she didn’t intend it, Britt is just trouble. She’s the reason Jason was on the pier with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the first place. And Danny, of course, is upset about the shooting and that Jason protected Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr).
So, Britt is obviously a sore spot for Danny. And I think Jason may tell Britt he’s not in the headspace to be in a relationship with anybody, not specifically her. You know, Jason may say, “It’s not you, it’s me.” And then he cuts Britt loose while she’s running around whining to everybody about the bad turn her life has taken.
General Hospital: Jason Leaves Sonny’s Organization
As for Sonny, GH summer spoilers confirm that he’s trying to take back power now that Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) out of the way and that Sonny wants Jason and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) to get along to help make that happen. However, I suspect Jason may take a step back from Sonny professionally. I don’t think he’ll do it personally.
I’m sure Jason and Sonny are going to remain lifelong friends, but Jason just may tell Sonny that he can’t do this mob stuff anymore. Not only because he doesn’t want Danny at risk, but also because of what happened to him. At this point, Jason may not have the stomach to be an enforcer anymore after enduring months of torture.
You know, that may trigger him. And of course, Sonny would miss Jason as a mob co-conspirator, but I also think that Sonny would respect Jason’s wishes, especially because Sonny’s kids mean everything to him. So, he’ll obviously understand.
And if it goes that way and Jason steps back, I know Ric would be low-key thrilled. He and Jason have never seen eye to eye. And now Ric has rebuilt his relationship with Sonny. And in the past, Ric was always so jealous of Jason. So, I think Ric would be happy if Jason’s not spending so much time with Sonny and isn’t working with him. And I also think Jason’s going to move back into the Quartermaine Mansion.
General Hospital: Jason Reconnects with the Qs on a Whole New Level
And I think he’s going to do some more reconnecting with the family, especially with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), also with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson). And there’s a summer spoiler that says Danny plays nice with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) because of Jason. So, I think we may get some Drew and Jason interaction that’s maybe a little less antagonistic than it has been.
You know, Drew’s been locked in and Jason’s been locked up. So, with both Drew and Jason coming out of life-alteringly bad circumstances, maybe they can put aside their differences. They’ve both been through a lot. Even though, you know, Drew caused his own problems gaslighting Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) and manipulating her, but in a way, Jason caused his own problems, too. But those were for altruistic reasons, whereas Drew was just being a jerk, and that’s what happened to him.

General Hospital: Jason Gets a New Love
So, I suspect in the next few months as Jason goes down this new path, does some emotional healing, that’s when General Hospital may introduce a new romantic partner for him, possibly Serena Baldwin (Kelly Krueger), who is coming, I think the last day of this month. It’s been said that she was going to be Jason’s love interest. We’ll see if that manifests.
There was also a rumor that Jason might join the WSB. And it initially seemed plausible until we saw what was done to him. And Jason came back to Port Charles looking like a beaten down shell of himself. So, it’s hard to see why Jason would work for Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) or anybody else in the WSB.
You know, it’s not Jack’s fault that Jason was sent to the black site, but with the WSB torturing Jason brutally in Indonesia, you would think he’d be triggered by anything WSB related. I would think that Jason just needs to be with Danny and family right now and maybe with a therapist.
And Jason’s going to need to heal before he entertains any idea like that. And even then, Jason might only join the WSB to infiltrate and try and expose some of their shady stuff like what was done to him at the black site.
General Hospital: Carly’s in for a Shock
As for Jason and Carly, I think that’s going to be pretty interesting. She’ll be thrilled if Jason walks away from Britt, which seems inevitable at this point. But I’m also sure that Jason isn’t going to like seeing Carly romantically involved with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
However, I don’t think Jason will agree to help Sonny’s plot to break up Carly and Valentin. I feel like we’re going to get a more live and let live version of Jason. Also, we know he’s got his other son, Jake Webber, (Hudson West) whom he shares with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), but the kids are away from Port Charles now.
So, we may see Jason and Liz reconnect as co-parents talking about their offscreen son, Jake. But, I don’t think Jason and Liz are going to reconnect romantically. I know there’s hardcore Liason fans out there. I like them, too. But Liz has got her hands full with Ric. She’s been getting screen time with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). So, I don’t see them putting Jason into that mix. But I think somebody else is going to catch his eye.
Bottom line is it looks like things are about to get really interesting with Jason’s return. And I suspect we’re going to see a whole new version of him, which should be really good material for brand new daytime Emmy nominee Steve Burton. And honestly, Jason’s been kind of the same way for so long. You know, very stone cold, very this, very that. I think it’ll be a nice change of pace to see him finally getting out of the mob game, showing up for Danny consistently and not sacrificing himself for Sonny or Carly or Britt or anybody else and making healthier life choices.

Young and Restless Next Week: Nick Issues Deadly Threat & Traci Makes Risky Gamble
Young and the Restless spoilers for next week indicate that Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) makes a death threat, but that might push him back into opioid abuse. Plus, Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) is making a shocking gamble, and she’s going to risk it all for her family’s safety.
We’re going to talk about what is next for Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) as her bandages come off and what Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is doing when all the stress about what’s happened to her keeps eating at her. But first, let’s talk about Nick and this death threat.
Young and the Restless: Nick Scares Sharon
So, by the end of this week, he and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) are having a talk and Nick’s telling Sharon that Nikki’s getting her bandages off the next day. Nick admits to Sharon that he feels like he’s more worried than Nikki is because she’s playing it pretty cool. What Sharon wants is for Nick to focus on his sobriety and staying clean.
And she talks to him about how much she has to fight against her bipolar disorder every day. Then Sharon says she thinks Nick has more in his mind than his mom. He admits to Sharon he’s worried about Matt Clark (Roger Howorth). He said that guy is always in his head. Now Victor claims to have Matt under control, but Nick just wants Matt gone for good.
Y&R Spoilers: Sienna & Matt Clear the Air
And Sharon isn’t happy to have Matt around, but she also doesn’t know what to think because he saved Nick’s life. And then Sharon’s asking if Nick would turn back to drugs to handle Matt. So, while Nick’s promising that he’s not going to let his loved ones down again, the simple fact is he might. So, they head over to see Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) at the Shadow Room.
And coincidentally, that’s where Matt is right now talking to Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) by the end of this week. It’s not some kind of scary conversation, though. Matt is kind of still sorting through the things he did in his past. And Sienna says Matt always wanted both admiration and fear. But Sienna says even when Matt was a jerk, there were still good things about him.
Young and Restless: Matt Opens Up to Sienna — Noah Flips Out
So, he tells Sienna when they first got together, he knows she wanted love from him, but Matt just didn’t have that in him. And he confesses to Sienna he doesn’t trust Victor, doesn’t trust the Newmans, and she wants to know if Matt’s planning something. And nothing nefarious. He tells Sienna that he wants to prove he’s not the man he once was.
And Matt says, you know, he’s middle-aged, but he wants to build a life and he tells Sienna she deserves a good man who is going to love her the right way. So, he’s saying good things, but that’s when Noah walks in and he flies off the handle because Matt’s even talking to Sienna. You know, he’s a hothead like his dad, but it’s understandable how he’s reacting to Matt. So, Noah is yelling about him staying away from Sienna.
And then Matt claps back about Noah trying to tell him and Sienna what to do. That’s another trigger. And Matt says that he and Sienna were having a long overdue conversation that they really needed to have. I think that’s real. So, Matt insists he’s not a psycho and he knows that Noah will never forgive him. But Matt’s a little frustrated and wishes Noah would just let him be and insists that everybody deserves forgiveness.
Y&R: Nick’s Death Threat
And of course that is right when Nick and Sharon walk in. So, they’re barking at Matt not to threaten Noah, which he wasn’t. And then Nick says Matt doesn’t get to demand forgiveness. That’s fair. And then Matt’s telling Nick it’s all pointless and he should just leave town before Victor puts him in the ground and he leaves. So next week on Young and the Restless, Sharon and Nick are still at the Shadow Room. And by then he’s told Sharon that he’s going to take care of Matt.
So, Sharon tells Nick that he’s scaring her a little bit. And Sharon mentions Nick saying that he’s going to make sure Matt’s gone for good. And Sharon is asking Nick, “Tell me that doesn’t mean what I think it does.” So it seems like he’s being hotheaded and he’s making what sounds to Sharon is like a death threat. So Matt’s worried about Victor killing him, but maybe he needs to take a second look at Nick. And this temptation to whack Matt could be what sends Nick crawling back into a pill bottle.
Young and the Restless: Victor & Nikki Have a Really Sweet Moment
Now, let’s talk about Nikki’s big reveal. End of this week, Nikki’s walking around at the new ranch, counting her steps, still with no cane, even on the stairs. What is wrong with these people? So, Victor’s helping her get down off the stairs, and Nikki says she needs to know that she can get around by herself, but she understands everybody wants to help. So, Victor leads her to the sofa, tells Nikki he knows she can do anything. Victor’s being really sweet, gets her a blanket, asks if she’s nervous about getting her bandages off the next day. Nikki says she’s trying to prepare for any possible result, even a really bad one.
And she tells Victor she just doesn’t want to feel defeated, no matter the outcome, even if her vision isn’t back, even if it’s gone for good. Then Nikki tells Victor that she misses them and she wants to know if he’s ready to talk about their future. He assures Nikki that she’s safe, but she says she’s angrier at Victor than she ever has been before. So, Nikki asks if Victor’s hate for Jack is stronger than his love for her. Uh, well, Nikki, I can answer that for you.
Yeah, Victor’s hate outweighs his love across the board. That is quite evident because he’s still doing horrible things to people instead of appreciating what he has, Nikki and the kids and his health. So Nikki burst into tears. Victor actually seems ready to cry, too. What’s clear to me is if Nikki didn’t have this life or death, I guess blind or seeing, medical crisis, I don’t think she would have gone back to Victor. This is fear driving her choices. I think I’m honestly still rooting for Nikki to walk away from Victor.

Y&R Spoilers: Moment of Truth for Nikki
So next week, Young and the Restless spoilers have Nikki at the doctor’s office and Victor’s there holding her hand. The doctor removes Nikki’s bandages and then he tells her it’s time to open her eyes. So, next week, Victor and Nikki and the viewers are all going to find out if she has her vision back. And now, the last spoiler tidbit for next week is one that I’m super excited about. You remember Diane is worried because Dr. Laurence Markham (Jere Burns), who had that big crush on Diane, is MIA. He dropped off the radar after Patty was arrested. And I think Markham realized the jig was up.
So, next week’s spoilers have Diane talking to Traci about getting in touch with Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) the sociopathic evil twin of Dr. Alan Laurent (also Christopher Cousins). So if you remember, he kidnapped and tormented Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon. And at the same time, he was romancing Traci who believed he was good twin Alan.
Young and Restless Spoilers: Traci Takes a Big Risk
So, Traci’s shocked and she wants to know why Diane wants to talk to Martin. And it’s because Diane thinks Martin might know how to find Dr. Markham. If you remember, he had a ton of psychology books that were written by Dr. Alan Laurent. And that was of course who Martin pretended to be. So maybe Alan and Markham were colleagues or know each other.
So, Traci tells Diane next week that Martin won’t talk to her. Last we heard he was locked up. Hopefully he still is. But Traci admits that Martin might talk to her instead, even if he won’t talk to Diane. So, it looks like Traci is going to make a shocking choice and she’s going to gamble and try and get the answers that Diane needs. I feel like it’s pretty risky.
I think it’ll be hard on Traci to face the man that lied to her, made her fall in love with him, and then turned out to be a horrible liar. Martin crushed Traci and it’s been more than a year since she’s seen that terrible man. Be sure to come back tomorrow for our full weekly spoilers video.

Bold and Beautiful: Daphne & Carter’s Miracle Baby News – Their Dream Family Finally Begins
Bold and the Beautiful has poor Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) absolutely devastated over the news of Daphne’s infertility that’s caused by early menopause. However, I suspect Carter and Daphne are still going to get the family that they want.
It’s just that the road isn’t going to be quite so easy for them. We’re going to talk about how Carter and Daphne will get their miracle baby that completes their lives and makes all their dreams come true.
Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne’s Heartbreaking Diagnosis
So, this week we saw Dr. Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) break Daphne’s heart. That stunning early menopause diagnosis hit her so hard. Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was there with her bestie and consoled her, but that didn’t change the dire outlook as Daphne saw her baby dreams crushed. And when Carter asked Daphne how the appointment went, he immediately could tell that something was wrong.
And then she had to break Carter’s heart with this terrible news. So, Daphne was in tears and then Carter was sobbing. It was really hard to watch, especially if you’ve gone through infertility. I’ve been there. I know some of you all have. But one thing is clear, Daphne and Carter are in this together and are very supportive of each other. They’re just shell shocked right now.
Daphne & Carter Won’t Give Up on B&B
But very soon, I feel like Carter and Daphne are going to explore how to start their family, even with the odds stacked against them. So, I expect a baby miracle coming for them pretty soon. Not right away, but pretty soon. One option that seems definitely on the table is Steffy may offer Daphne one or two or three of her frozen eggs. And with that and Carter’s sperm, they could have a baby that’s at least half theirs biologically.
And even with premature menopause, Daphne could still carry that baby. So with Steffy’s egg, they could do IVF and implant the embryo into Daphne. So they could still have the whole pregnancy experience together. She and Carter could feel their baby growing inside Daphne, and Carter could be right there with her through all the doctor visits, the labor, and Daphne could give birth to their child. That is a very viable option.
And when Steffy first mentioned to Daphne that she’d frozen some of her eggs, she kind of snapped at Steffy, “That’s great for you, but they’re not my eggs.” Daphne wants a biological kid. But I don’t think Steffy would bring it up for no reason when I don’t remember it ever being mentioned before on B&B. Maybe I’ve forgotten, but I don’t remember a whole egg freezing thing.
Bold and Beautiful: Surrogacy and Adoption Options for Daphne and Carter
Another option to get Carter and Daphne’s baby dream going is that they can opt to find a surrogate. Maybe even one that would offer a donor egg. Somebody like Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock). I think she would be a good option for Daphne and Carter. I mean, we all know Dylan’s a sweetheart. Plus, she’s young. She’s healthy. That all matters and she is broke as heck and that kind of thing pays very well and Carter and Daphne can definitely afford to hire a surrogate and they might want to use somebody close to them like Dylan.
That way Carter and Daphne could be very involved with the pregnancy. They could go to the doctor appointments, all of that. It’d be the next best thing if for some reason Daphne can’t carry the child herself or doesn’t want to. Dylan enjoyed being an art teacher. We know she likes kids and I think she’d be very sympathetic to what they’re going through and they could use Carter’s sperm and either Dylan’s egg or an egg from Steffy or an anonymous donor egg. You know, Carter and Daphne might prefer an African-American egg donor.
Electra is a Possibility on B&B but a Real Long Shot
Another option, which seems like an impossible long shot, is to use another surrogate, somebody else they know, Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). She is young, she’s healthy, and she’s close to them. However, I do not see Will Spencer‘s (Crew Morrow) ex as the self-sacrificing type. Electra is honestly a baby herself most days. And with the way she’s running around creating drama, imagine if Daphne and Carter trusted Electra with their family’s future and all they got from her was non-stop whine pout baby mama drama.
Plus, with the Spencer versus Forrester storyline and Will versus R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti), I kind of doubt that they would push Electra into Carter and Daphne’s storyline. Being a part of all that would just be too much. Also, Electra is honestly so selfish. I don’t think she thinks about anybody but herself. That’s what we’re seeing with Will. So, I don’t think she would be generous enough to step up and do something so kind for Daphne and Carter.
Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne & Carter May Go a Different Route
However, they could also decide to avoid involving anybody they know if they went the surrogate route. Daphne and Carter might hire a surrogate that they don’t know, go through an agency, you know, use his sperm, use the surrogate’s egg or a donor egg, and just realize they’re going to have to settle for not being as involved as they want until their baby is born. Another option to get Carter and Daphne the child they want is for them to adopt.
I mean, come on. There’s so many children in the United States, around the world, who need a good home, and a child would be lucky to be adopted by Carter and Daphne. And in fact, Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) might encourage them to consider going this route. If you remember his backstory, his parents died of AIDS. I think they were Somalian, maybe. It’s been a minute. And Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) daughter, Kristen Forrester, met young orphan Zende when she was on her honeymoon.
And then she and her husband Tony came back to adopt him. Plus, Steffy has also adopted a baby. Now, unfortunately, that was Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) stolen baby Beth Spencer (Jordan Ariza), and she had to give the kid back. But there’s adoption history in the Forrester family on Bold and the Beautiful.
And I’m sure that Daphne and Carter could easily be approved for an adoption. That way, they could, you know, show that they provide a loving home, that they’re financially stable. That’s all important stuff. And I think Daphne and Carter will give any child a wonderful life and they could even adopt more than one child because they want a big family.

Bold and Beautiful: Daphne & Carter May Get a True Miracle
So, Daphne’s family dreams could come true that way. However, because she wants to have a biological child with Carter, IVF and surrogacy, you know, one of those two seem a lot more likely, but there’s always another option for them to have a baby. The last thing I want to talk about is that Daphne and Carter might get a true miracle baby. I’m sure they’re still going to keep making love.
So, there’s a chance Daphne could get pregnant naturally. There’s actually a 5 to 12 percent chance with this diagnosis of a spontaneous pregnancy even with this early menopause. So, while Daphne and Carter are considering what other options are available to them, you know, Daphne could turn up pregnant out of the blue.
Daphne May Still Get Her Wish on Bold
Also, with this condition she has, the women often have what’s called intermittent ovarian activity. Basically, Daphne’s ovaries might wake up and work now and then. They just don’t work consistently and without the stress of actively trying to get pregnant with Carter’s child and going through the monthly disappointment.
That could really help if you’ve not been through it. Infertility is extremely stressful. And if Daphne thinks, okay, I can’t make a baby that way. I think that stress might be alleviated. And you know, because taking a pregnancy test every month and then being devastated when it comes up negative over and over, that’s horrible.
And studies show that stress reduction improves fertility with this condition. So, I do hope Carter and Daphne can get their own biological child even if it’s just a one-off and they only get one baby that way. You know, one miracle baby might be enough for Carter and Daphne.
Or they could get a miracle baby for kid number one and then turn to other options like IVF or surrogacy or adoption to expand their family from there. What I really hope is that this incredibly touching storyline doesn’t get shoved aside for more of the Forresters and Spencers don’t mix junk that we’ve got right now.

The Sci-Fi Mind-Bender On Hulu Is The Most Original Time Travel Movie In Years
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

For sci-fi fans, there’s something ironic about time travel movies: after you watch enough of them, you may feel caught in your own time loop because all of the films feel more or less the same. That’s why it’s always special to discover a movie that feels fresh and original, and if you’ve been on the lookout for a time travel movie that feels completely innovative, you’re in luck. Aporia is now streaming on Hulu, and its fresh take on someone turning back the clock is one that will keep you riveted from beginning to end.
Time Travel, As Always, Yields Mixed Results

What is Aporia about, exactly? Without giving too many of its twists and turns away, this is a movie about a woman grieving the death of her husband. He was killed by a drunk driver, but through the magic of time travel, she has the opportunity to save his life–a noble intention that, as you might expect, unleashes some seriously unintended consequences for herself and many others.
What makes Aporia’s take on time travel feel so fresh, though? Unlike most other science fiction films where characters attempt to alter the past, the grieving widow is unable to personally transport herself back through the veil of years. Instead, she has the opportunity to send a subatomic particle backwards to a specific point in time, and if that particle should appear inside somebody, they will instantly die.

For all intents and purposes, this gives her an opportunity to send a sci-fi bullet into the past and kill the man who killed her husband before he drunkenly steps behind the wheel. That automatically makes Aporia much darker than your typical time travel movie, but by the time she’s ready to pull the trigger, it’s hard not to sympathize with her actions. Once we see that the drunk driver both feels no remorse and experiences no major legal consequences for his fatally negligent actions, it’s clear that zapping him out of the timestream may be the closest thing the widow gets to seeing justice.
Familiar Faces To Sci-Fi Fans

We keep comparing Aporia to other sci-fi movies, and if you’re a fan of the genre, you’re definitely going to love the cast. The widow is played by Judy Greer, someone known for appearing in sci-fi blockbusters like Ant-Man, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (voice only), and many more. The dead husband she hopes to save is played by Edi Gathegi, someone known for appearing in the killer sci-fi show For All Mankind, playing the mutant Darwin in X-Men: First Class, and, more recently, Mister Terrific in James Gunn’s Superman, the film that launched the new DCU.

In case you were wondering, we’re not the only ones who instantly fell in love with Aporia. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently has a critical rating of 91 percent, a score which is that much more impressive when you consider how critics often can’t wrap their minds around science fiction. In this case, critics specifically praised Aporia for effortlessly blending its hard sci-fi premise with understandably human motivations and almost heartbreakingly emotional performances.

Once you experience Aporia, the only downside is that you’ll wish you could travel back in time and watch it again for the very first time. It’s currently available to stream on Hulu, and we’re confident that once you stream it, this film will blow you away. On the off chance that it doesn’t, however, we’re going to need you to promise not to blow us away with a subatomic particle. We’d at least like enough time to recommend it to somebody else first.

No One’s Watching Netflix’s Latest Live-Action Remake
By Jonathan Klotz
| Published

Netflix’s latest Q2 earning results came with some shocking news for not only investors, but everyone with even a passing interest in the media landscape. The world’s largest streaming platform admitted that most viewers stop watching after the first season. Doesn’t matter the show, on average, they lose 58 percent of the audience. For Avatar: The Last Airbender, that number was 59 percent for the first episode of Season 2, a huge drop from the series debut of 21 million views. If social media reactions are anything to go by, fans of the franchise aren’t bothering to finish the season. And for good reason.
Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender Is A Drunken Retelling Of The Original

Avatar: The Last Airbender isn’t actually an anime, it was an anime-inspired cartoon that ran on Nickelodeon for three seasons and became a generation’s Star Wars. Which is why the live-action series has more in common with the recollections of a drunken 34-year-old Naruto cosplayer who heard about the series from their friend but never bothered to check it out. “And then the Fire Nation attacked, and there was this giant pig, and I think the bald kid hooked up with some chick.”
The first season included a huge exposition dump at the top that revealed what happened prior to the start of the series. In the original Avatar: The Last Airbender, unraveling the history of the Avatar is a large part of the story. Season 2 decided to make the same mistake by showcasing the Fire Lord, which again, was a much later reveal that had a lot of character beats and emotion wrapped up in it. Here, it’s a guy in a costume.
The Fans Have Gone Elsewhere

One Piece live-action works thanks to the close involvement of the manga’s creator, Oda, and a production team making changes that stick to the spirit of the source material. Avatar: The Last Airbender is moving locations around, re-adjusting the entire timeline of the story, discarding character motivations (animated Zuko would kill live-action Zuko), Either fully adapt the existing story, or go hog wild and change everything, but this odd half and half approach is alienating everyone.
Despite the low viewership numbers, Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 debuted in Netflix’s top ten series. Two weeks later, it’s at number ten, and in a few days, will be forgotten. Season 3 was filmed at the same time as Season 2 though that’s no guarantee that the streamer will let it see the light of day. Netflix has been having significant retention issues with viewers due to all of the early cancelations, but in this case, it would be a mercy for the suffering fanbase.
Avatar: The Last Airbender fans are instead looking forward to Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender which picks up the story 13 years after the end of the series. The team is order, hopefully wiser, and the animation looks to be top notch, crafted with love and care to fit seamlessly alongside the original, and The Legend of Korra. Netflix can keep trying with their live-action adaptation, but with multiple series, and new entries in the franchise on the way, the fanbase has already moved on.

Trinity Tatum And Bryce Dettloff Talk Next Steps In Their Relationship
Since leaving the villa, Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff have been adjusting to newfound fame and life outside Love Island USA. Trinity now has more than 3 million followers, while Bryce has surpassed 1 million after the pair won Season 8. The couple recently sat down with the Today show to discuss what their relationship will look like outside the villa. As they continue celebrating their win, the pair admitted they are not ready to spend time apart.
When asked what was next and whether Trinity would return to Virginia or move in with Bryce, she replied, “Virginia’s not seeing me for too long. I definitely want to be wherever Bryce is. Bryce added, “Even when she tells me she’s running an errand, I’m like, ‘Where is she going?’ My heart rate rises. The best part is knowing I can always confide in her.”
The pair also reflected on why they believe their nine-year age gap and interracial relationship resonated with so many viewers. Bryce said, “After getting to know her, I realized she’s one of the most mature people I’ve ever met. She’s so intelligent that the age gap completely disappeared in my mind.” Trinity agreed, saying, “Honestly, I forget about the age gap. We’re so similar and so alike. I see it as a positive. He gives the best advice. What more could I ask for?”
Social Media Reacts

Instagram user @ layy_back_jay added, “I knew they was gonna win when they made it out of Casa and was crying about missing each other. That’s all they want.”
While Instagram user @_traayyy wrote, “Just because yall are use to fake liking somebody for money don’t mean they are, yall weird ash. Nothing but negativity from the world. I see why it’s the way it is truly.”
Islander Love After The Villa
Since leaving the villa, many Islanders are still adjusting to life on the outside. While some are getting used to their massive new followings, others are slowly easing back into everyday life. Many have also been showing love to the fans who supported them throughout the season. Season 8 runner-up Aniyah Harvey, alongside her connection Carl Schmidt, recently shared some of her favorite villa memories. She described her villa experience as an answered prayer despite facing several personal struggles. Aniyah also reflected on the friendships she built and her growing connection with Carl.
She wrote, “What In the world. First and foremost, I want to say that being in that villa GENUINELY felt like an answered prayer. I definitely went through my struggles, but I will forever cherish the people I met along the way. Not only did I make friends who became my family and picked me up when I was down but I met someone who made my journey in the villa special. I truly cherish the connection I have with Carl and I’m so happy that he made my fairytale dream a reality. I cannot wait to see how our story continues.”
Meanwhile, Trinity Tatum and Kayda Bosse debuted fresh new looks after saying goodbye to their signature villa hairstyles. Fans quickly filled the comments with compliments as both Islanders showed off their updated styles. Kayda’s boyfriend, Zach Georgiou, also shared a sweet video of them together, captioning it, “She is the prize.” Bryce also reflected on his villa journey by sharing a collection of memories with Trinity. He captioned the post, “I came in with an open heart and left with the girl of my dreams.”

Why Katie Holmes Is Going ‘Slow’ With New Boyfriend
Love is in the air for Katie Holmes and her new romantic partner, Jason Bard Yarmosky.
Although Holmes is enjoying this fresh wave of romance in her personal life, she is reportedly purposefully keeping her relationship low-key for now.
The actress has been spotted out and about on multiple occasions with Yarmosky, who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts.

Holmes is embracing a budding romance with Yarmosky, but the couple is completely avoiding any hasty milestones.
Sources familiar with the situation reveal that the connection is still in its infancy. They have consciously avoided mixing their respective family circles so far, which explains why the performer’s daughter, Suri Cruise, has not met her mother’s partner.
“They’re intentionally taking it slow. They haven’t been introduced to others’ families or done any of that yet,” a source revealed, per Page Six.
For now, those close to the pair note that they are strictly focusing on the simple pleasure of each other’s company without making any permanent commitments. Content with their current casual status, they are happy to let the relationship evolve organically over time.
“There haven’t been any major steps in the relationship yet; they’re still in the dating phase for now. They’re happy taking things as they come and seeing where it goes,” the source added.
According to insiders, Yarmosky brings a deeply tranquil energy to the relationship, creating an environment where the actress feels comfortable and protected.
The Duo Were Seen At A Movie Screening In East Hampton

Public chatter surrounding Holmes and Yarmosky intensified as observers noticed the growing bond between them began playing out much more openly.
As The Blast previously reported, the duo drew widespread attention when they arrived hand in hand at an East Hampton cinema for a special screening of “The Invite.”
According to individuals present at the theater, the new couple radiated complete comfort and contentment in one another’s presence throughout the entire event. A nearby witness observed the painter whispering playfully into the performer’s ear, which kept her laughing and smiling.
The two reportedly remained inseparable for the duration of the movie, with onlookers noting that the actress rested her head against his shoulder during the presentation.
Katie Holmes & Her New Flame Were Also Spotted Together At A Summer Gathering

In addition to being spotted at the screening, the pair was also spotted together during a group dining event, after which they went on a date.
Those within Holmes’ immediate circle explain that the star has always possessed a natural affinity for imaginative individuals, preferring to surround herself with people who exhibit an immense drive for their chosen crafts.
“Katie has always been drawn to people who are creative,” the source said, according to People Magazine.
When the pair went out to dinner later on, they reportedly looked “so happy, as they openly smiled and hugged each other.
Inside Jason Bard Yarmosky’s Creative Journey

Yarmosky, the new companion in the actress’s life, is a highly respected presence within the modern gallery circuit.
Born in 1987, the New York native formally graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in 2010. Over the years, his professional portfolio has centered heavily on the psychological and physical realities of the aging process.
His primary creative inspirations were his own grandparents, Elaine and Leonard Bard, who spent years acting as the central figures of his hyper-realistic portrait series. Following the passing of his grandparents, the creator temporarily relocated to Long Island to process his profound grief.
According to Page Six, this period of quiet isolation ultimately helped him process his grief, and soon after, he created his early 2026 gallery showcase, “Time Has Many Faces.”
Katie Holmes Recently Sparked Romantic Speculation With Her Former Co-Star

Yarmosky’s gallery showcase, “Time Has Many Faces,” was on display from January to April 2026, and shortly after that, he met Holmes in June.
During that period, Holmes had found herself at the center of a separate media firestorm regarding a highly public reunion with a former flame. The Blast reported that her professional collaboration with her old television co-star, Joshua Jackson, triggered massive waves of nostalgic romance rumors among long-time fans.
The two actors, who famously portrayed a definitive on-screen couple in “Dawson’s Creek,” caused a massive stir when they appeared together at the New York City premiere of “Happy Hours.”
During the event, their display of physical affection towards each other was instantly analyzed across social media platforms.
Countless commentators suggested that the profound ease between the pair pointed to a permanent, soulmate-level attraction. However, Holmes’ newfound connection with Yarmosky seems to have permanently put the speculations to rest.

Pokémon Officially Returns With a Surprise Event This Weekend
Life in Pokémon Pokopia is built around the idea that there’s always another reason to check back in. Between rebuilding familiar landmarks, expanding your town, and getting to know its Pokémon residents, the game regularly rewards players who return to see what’s changed. Limited-time activities have become part of that rhythm, giving Trainers new challenges that go beyond collecting Pokémon.
One Pokémon feels particularly well-suited to that approach. Since its introduction, Zorua has been one of the franchise’s most mischievous creatures, relying on illusions and clever tricks rather than brute strength. It’s the kind of Pokémon that’s impossible to ignore once it appears, and its playful personality makes it a natural fit for an event centered on searching, hiding, and friendly competition. That opportunity is arriving sooner than players might expect.
‘Pokémon Pokopia’ Is Hosting a Zorua Hide-and-Sneak Contest
The Pokémon Company has announced that Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest will take place in Pokémon Pokopia from July 19 at 5:00 a.m. through July 27 at 4:59 a.m. local time. During the limited-time event, players can find Zorua waiting outside any rebuilt Pokémon Center, where the Tricky Fox Pokémon will invite them to participate in a special hide-and-seek contest. Performance determines the rewards players receive. Players who post stronger times can earn special prizes, including an exclusive trophy, while the event also supports multiplayer for those who want to compete with friends. Trainers can visit another player’s world or gather on a Cloud Island to participate together, and the fastest completion time among everyone taking part becomes that town or Cloud Island’s best recorded score.
Before the event begins, players should make sure they’ve rebuilt at least one Pokémon Center. Zorua will only appear in towns with a restored Pokémon Center, making it the first requirement for anyone hoping to join the festivities. Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest runs for just over a week, giving Trainers a limited window to chase exclusive rewards, improve their completion times, and see if they can set the fastest record in their town before the event comes to an end on July 27.
