While it has been controversial, Starfleet Academy has tried to establish itself as a must-see TV for those who loved Star Trek: Voyager. One reason for that is the presence of the amazing Robert Picardo, reprising his role as the fan-favorite holographic Doctor. Another reason is that the new show has picked up on the threads of multiple classic Voyager stories, including the Doctor raising (and subsequently losing) a holographic daughter back in “Real Life.”

Now, the most recent episode of Starfleet Academy (“300th Night”) has followed up on the Voyager episode “The Omega Directive,” which revealed that Starfleet deeply feared a a desructive cosmic element known as the Omega particle. In “300th Night,” we learn that future Starfleet has found a way to weaponize this particle against its enemies. Unfortunately, a central aspect of this episode makes one thing crystal clear: the Federation has now and forever become the bad guy.

The Alpha And The Omega

What is the Omega particle, you ask? In the aptly-named Voyager episode “The Omega Directive,” Captain Janeway reveals that the Omega particle is one of the biggest threats Starfleet has ever encountered. When these particles explode, it becomes impossible to travel through the affected area at warp speed. Therefore, Starfleet has a standing order: when captains encounter Omega, they must do anything and everything in their power to destroy it.

With her usual poise and style, Janeway manages to find and safely detonate all of the offensive Omega particles in the area. However, the Starfleet Academy episode “300th Night” revealed that the Federation of the 32nd century had secretly changed its mind about Omega. Rather than destroying these particles on sight, one skeezy starbase has developed a way to turn these pesky particles into the ultimate weapon.

When Star Trek Meets Star Wars

In a previous episode of Starfleet Academy (“Come, Let’s Away”), Nus Braka acted like a reluctant ally before enacting his scheme: destroying a Starfleet vessel and ransacking Starbase J19-Alpha. At the time, it was unclear what he stole or even what kind of starbase J19-Alpha really was. However, “300th Night” revealed that the base specializes in advanced weapons research, and one of their creations was Omega-47. As the name implies, this is a synthetic variant of the Omega particle, one that has all the destructive potential of the real thing.

“300th Night” was actually a really solid episode, but I was shocked at how it casually confirmed that Starfleet is developing superweapons that would make the Empire from Star Wars blush. So far, it seems that Section 31 doesn’t exist in the 32nd century, which is a good thing: after all, most fans don’t like the idea of the peace-loving Federation relying on a secret cabal of paranoid murderers.

Unfortunately, the revelation that Starbase J19-Alpha was developing such unethical weaponry is proof that the fringe Section 31 is no longer necessary; the high and mighty Starfleet is happy to break bad and violate intergalactic law whenever and however they see fit.

The development of Omega-47 is also insanely hypocritical because the Federation of this era had to survive the Burn, a freak cosmic incident that made warp travel absolutely impossible. In both Discovery and Starfleet Academy, this is portrayed as something that ruined countless lives and generally transformed a utopian future into a brutal, survival-of-the-fittest slugfest. Considering that the primary effect of Omega is that it can shut down subspace and make warp travel impossible, it’s clear that Starfleet is now ready and willing to cripple entire civilizations by restricting their travel and leaving them at the mercy of pirates.

Never Beam Your Heroes

On the balance, “300th Night” is actually a very good episode of Star Trek: it builds on Starfleet Academy lore, develops our favorite characters, and follows up on one of Voyager’s wildest stories. For longtime fans of the show, this episode is proof of how much potential this series really has. Meanwhile, if you’re someone who ditched this show early on, this latest episode is arguably the best to watch if you’re ready to give the show another shot.

Unfortunately, Starfleet weaponizing Omega is at the heart of this Starfleet Academy episode, and this does immense damage to our characters’ reputation. How are we supposed to root for the next generation of Starfleet officers when we know all these tortured geniuses will grow up to support supervillains? This organization is rotten from the top down, which makes for the ultimate bittersweet homage to The Original Series: in the 32nd century, all admirals are badmirals!

Ryan Murphy‘s Love Story has caused a variety of strong reactions — but why has there been so much backlash surrounding the show about John F. Kennedy Jr.?

Before Love Story even premiered on FX in February 2026, Murphy was criticized by the Kennedys for his plans to dramatize Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and JFK Jr.‘s story after their deaths in a 1999 plane crash. Kennedy Jr.’s nephew Jack Schlossberg accused Murphy in June 2025 of “grotesque[ly]” profiting off his late uncle’s death.

“Lately, my news feed has been filled with pictures of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a great man,” Schlossberg wrote via Instagram at the time. “For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with the new shows being made about him, the answer is no. And there’s really not much we can do.”

Schlossberg continued: “For that matter, [JFK Jr. is] considered a public figure, so there’s not much we can do. I hope those making these shows about him take seriously what he stood for in his life, all that he achieved in it. And that they donate some of the profits [that] they’re making.”

FX’s Love Story brings John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette‘s tragic romance to life — but how does the cast compare to their real-life counterparts? Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, which premiered Thursday, February 12, is a limited series that explores the “undeniable chemistry, whirlwind courtship and high-profile marriage of […]

In response, Murphy called out the “inflammatory” criticism and how it came before the show was released.

“I thought it was an odd choice to be mad about your relative that you really don’t remember,” Murphy said on Gavin Newsom’s “This Is Gavin Newsom” podcast one month later. “The days of civil discourse are over, and it’s very hard. And you kind of either get into the muck or you try and rise above it.”

The public backlash continued once Love Story started airing with Sarah Pidgeon as Bessette, and Paul Anthony Kelly portraying JFK Jr. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the drama:

What Is ‘Love Story’ About?

The FX series is the first installment in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story anthology and is inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Sarah Pidgeon plays Carolyn Bessette, while Paul Anthony Kelly portrays JFK Jr.

After meeting in 1992, Bessette and JFK Jr. were on and off for years before getting married. Their relationship was thrust into the spotlight, with highs and lows making headlines. They both died in a plane crash in 1999.

“We had Elizabeth Beller’s book for reference, but we did face challenges [capturing certain moments]. They died so young, but we had enough information from people around them to know what the problems were in their marriage, what the tensions were, what the highs were, what the lows were,” executive producer Brad Simpson exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2026. “People don’t have an idea of what her voice was like because we only have a tiny clip of her voice, but they have a very distinct idea of what her image was like. So we had to get the walk down and the look and the allure. But Sarah could really interpret and go with it. John, we have a lot of recordings of him, and we have a lot more on him.”

What Is Ryan Murphy’s History With Adapting Real-Life Stories?

Ryan Murphy found success adapting true crime stories and high-profile events, which often resulted in backlash from the subjects of his shows. After getting his start with Nip/Tuck, Glee and American Horror Story, Murphy expanded by taking on projects such as American Crime Story, which chronicled the murder trial of O.J. Simpson, the killing of designer Gianni Versace and the sex scandal involving former President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

Murphy also created the American Sports Story spinoff, which focused on the rise and fall of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez in its first season.

Has Ryan Murphy Received Backlash for His Scripted Shows?

Ryan Murphy’s most controversial spinoff has been the Monster anthology series. In 2022, the limited series centered on Evan Peters’ portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer, which received backlash from the families of the serial killer’s victims.

Season 2 faced similar backlash after Erik Menendez slammed Murphy’s portrayal of him and brother Lyle Menendez.

FX’s Love Story has also been called out for dramatizing events in JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s lives before their tragic death.

The Kennedy family has endured several tragedies throughout the years. After being in the public eye for decades through politics and the entertainment industry, the prolific family became a household name. The Kennedys haven’t just made headlines for their personal and professional lives — with the amount of young and tragic deaths surrounding the famed […]

What Has Been Said About Ryan Murphy’s Love Story?

Kennedy Jr.’s nephew Jack Schlossberg slammed the show when it came out.

“If you want to know someone who’s never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy,” Schlossberg said on CBS Sunday Morning in February 2026. “The guy knows nothing about what he’s talking about, and he’s making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else’s life.”

Meanwhile Daryl Hannah, who is played by Dree Hemingway on the show, broke her silence on how she was portrayed. Hannah, who dated JFK Jr. in the ‘80s called the show not “remotely accurate” in its “representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John.” She also wanted to clarify the “actions and behaviors attributed” to her, which she called “untrue.”

“I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial,” she continued. “I never compared Jacqueline Onassis’ death to a dog’s. It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct — and they are false.”

What Have the Executive Producers Said?

Executive producer Brad Simpson told Us in February 2026 that they hadn’t heard from any of the real people featured on screen, adding, “We haven’t yet, and we hope that people appreciate their portrayals. Every actor approached [their role] with love.”

He added: “You reach out to one person, and then it becomes, ‘Why are you not reaching out to every person?’ We love these characters. We did deep, deep research. It’s based on not just the Elizabeth Beller book but many other artifacts from that time and many other historie.We came from a place of love, but if you foreground one person’s personal story and their version of the truth, then you have to foreground everybody’s, and often they’re in conflict. On all our shows we tried to be true to what we think the characters were and show you what it was like to walk in their footsteps.”

Fire Country‘s Bode makes it clear that he can’t forget Tyler after Chloe’s son admitted to causing Vince’s death.

In Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip from the Friday, March 6, episode of the hit CBS series, Bode (Max Thieriot) is visited by Chloe (Alona Tal), who asks him for help with Tyler (Conor Sherry). Bode, however, has no sympathy for the teenager responsible for starting the fire that killed his father, Vince (Billy Burke).

“He lit up half of Edgewater,” Bode tells Chloe. “Why would Tyler take the fall for something so bad if he didn’t actually do it?”

Chloe asks for Bode’s help supporting Tyler, saying, “I know that your family has done too much for my family already. But Tyler won’t talk to me and he’s alone and he’s scared in jail. I can’t help him. I know that you cared about him. You and I both know that you have the best shot to get through to him, so please.”

Fire Country has faced numerous surprising cast — and crew — changes over the years.

By season 2, a backdoor pilot set up the world […]

Bode shuts Chloe’s request down while referring to Tyler as a “lost cause.”

His strong reaction comes shortly after Tyler turned himself in for arson. Before the show’s midseason return, showrunner Tia Napolitano hinted that the show’s story will be going through some changes.

“[You should] be worried [about the rest of the season]. We’ve got Bode and Tyler in a fire shelter in the middle of a blaze. Those things are built for one, there’s two lives in there,” Napolitano exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2025, one month before her departure from the CBS series was announced. “And we’ve got Jake and his brother over the side of a cliff. You see how many times that vehicle goes over and over. We see heads hit hard surfaces.”

Napolitano teased that “those are not easy things to come back” from, adding, “We’ll watch our people fight to get out of there.” She also teased a “huge twist” coming in the second half of the season.

“It’s going to change everything that hugely impacts Bode. He is going to really fight to continue to be on his path to progress and growth that we love to see him on. He has made those good choices — though he still struggles — and winning those struggles and really becoming someone who can continue to be someone Tyler wants to grow up to be,” she said. “Bode is a role model. Look how far we have come.”

She continued: “Eve is going to find her way with these new guys at Three Roc. Sharon is learning even more so how to stand on her own. Ruby — her mother — comes back. There’s a lot of surprises, twists and turns and drive coming out of that twist that comes at the end of the midseason premiere.”

Following her exit from the show, news broke on Thursday, March 5, that Eric Guggenheim will be taking over for Napolitano. According to Deadline, Guggenheim is coming onboard after previously serving as showrunner of Magnum P.I and co-showrunner of Hawaii Five-0.

Fire Country airs on CBS Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

British author J. R. R. Tolkien wrote an enormous mythology surrounding his own made-up world, Arda. Though, Arda is more commonly known by the name of its central continent, Middle-Earth. His works detail thousands upon thousands of years of history, legends, and storylines about the world, which became his life’s work, some of which is still posthumously being published.

Throughout the history of Arda, one of the most prominent villains that pops up again and again is the Dark Lord Sauron. Sauron also happens to be the main antagonist behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy of novels, and its subsequent film adaptations. Although Sauron is a dangerous beast in the world of Arda, many who aren’t well-versed in Tolkien’s lore may be surprised to know that there are forces in Middle-Earth that could still stand against Sauron’s enormous power.

Tom Bombadil

Image via Amazon Prime Video

Tom Bombadil actually appears in the original novel of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (though he is absent from the film), and he’s remained kind of a mystfiying character since. This jolly moss-collector lives in the heart of the Old Forest, near the Shire, along with his wife, Goldberry. However, it’s never made clear who or what exactly Tom Bombadil is. His species is unknown, as is his purpose and his age. Gandalf seems to know a bit more about him, and believes that Tom is just as older, if not older than Gandalf is.

One thing that remains even more mysterious about him is that the One Ring’s corrupting power has no effect on him whatsoever. He is able to see and hold the One Ring, but he isn’t tempted by it for even a second, which is pretty bizarre, considering almost anything and everything else will find themselves tempted by it. While Tom Bombadil is no warrior, and likely couldn’t defeat Sauron in a physical fight, he renders Sauron’s greatest asset completely worthless, leaving Sauron at a severe disadvantage.

Gandalf

Image via New Line Cinema

Gandalf is one of the Maiar, a race of demigods that were created along with the gods, the Valar, by the supreme creator, Eru Ilúvatar. Gandalf and Sauron are actually both the same species–they’re both Maiar, and thus, both demigods. The difference is that Gandalf is one of the five wizards, so he has a little more magic behind him. He also has his own Ring of Power, carrying one of the rings that were given to the Elves by Sauron.

While this ring doesn’t compare to the power of the One Ring, Gandalf could definitely stand a chance against Sauron. There’s still a fair chance he could lose a fight against him, but Gandalf has proven that he is a capable warrior and wizard, and can hold his own when he needs to. While Gandalf loses a fight to Sauron directly in The Hobbit (which isn’t mentioned in the books), in Tolkien’s version of things, Gandalf would probably fare much better, rather than be so swiftly defeated.

Saruman the White

It doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense that Saruman the White decided to join Sauron. It would be understandable if Saruman’s power paled in comparison to Sauron and joined him to escape destruction, but this isn’t the case, so this implies that Saruman is really just evil. As another of the Maiar, Saruman has enough power behind him to stand against Sauron. The White Wizard is the chief and most powerful of the five wizards, also known as the Istari, even more powerful than Gandalf.

Moreover, Saruman is easily able to rally armies to his cause and create armies in the form of the Urûk-hai, coming up with quite a formidable host of thousands of troops. Honestly, if Saruman had fought on the side of Gondor and Rohan, the War of the Ring probably would have been a heck of a lot shorter. With his inner magic and his combined armed forces, he’d probably make a pretty even match for Sauron.

Ungoliant

Image via New Line Cinema

Ungoliant is the first of the Great Spiders, and was known for her immense size. It’s not sure where she came from, but she is an ancient being, almost as old as Middle-Earth itself. Ungoliant doesn’t make a physical appearance in the films, but her daughter, Shelob, does. Famously, Shelob has a lair in the mountain pass of Cirith Ungol, an orc stronghold, though she is no friend of Sauron’s or hs minions.

Ungoliant was, at the time, such a remarkable force, that she was almost able to defeat Morgoth, coming close to destroying him completely. This really impressed Morgoth, although he did send Balrogs after her in retaliation. Needless to say, if Ungoliant is able to nearly kill the ultimate evil, who is a literal god himself, it’s likely that Ungoliant could easily overpower Sauron, who is only a demigod.

Morgoth

Morgoth is one of the Valar, which means he is basically a god. In fact, he is the only one of the Valar that turned against the rest of them, opting to embody the darkness rather than the light. Morgoth, formerly known as Melkor, waged war against the Valar, and is the primary reason for most of the conflict throughout Tolkien’s legendarium. His influence is far-reaching and his power is immense, with few living beings, mortal or immortal, able to match his prowess.

In fact, Sauron is not the ultimate Dark Lord–he is only a servant of Morgoth, and ultimately lives to do his master’s bidding. While Sauron is a dangerous force and a serious threat to the safety of Middle-Earth, his power is microscopic compared to his master’s. Morgoth could easily best Sauron in a fight, and could probably crush him between the tip of his finger and thumb, to be honest. Due to his species and inherent power, there is no doubting that Morgoth (or any of the Valar, really) could dwarf Sauron’s power and really give him a run for his money.

Meshell apparently wasn’t here for the false news and immediately called out the false information.

“Listen and listen to me good whoever adding these captions to old videos needs to be PUT DOWN CAUSE WHY TF YOU LYING BITCH,” she reposted alongside the tweet, which had garnered over 55,000 views.

Days of Our Lives confirms Lexie Carver is the woman in the person pod, as we suspected. And they have recast the role. It was Renee Jones that played the role but they’ve dialed back Lexie’s age by 15 years. Now, she’s just 8 years older than her brother EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

And when Lexie turns up alive, there’s going to be epic fallout that affects all of Salem. We’re going to dive into when Lexie wakes up and what soapy drama comes in the fallout of this huge move EJ and Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) made with Gwen Rizczech’s (Emily O’Brien) help.

Days of our Lives: Lexie Carver Resurrected

We suspected all along that EJ and Dr. Rolf’s mystery lady was going to be none other than the DiMeras’ presumed dead sister, Lexie Carver. Who is of course, wife and soulmate of Abe Carver (James Reynolds). And mom to Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson).

Ok, so recently, Rolf and EJ revealed the woman in the tube to Gwen and she predicted bringing Lexie back would turn many lives upside down. But EJ said it’ll be in wonderful ways. But not wonderful for everyone. Especially not Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), who’s a major thorn in EJ’s side.

So, we’ll see Lexie’s face soon when they finally show fans who’s in the person pod. And then she’ll wake soon, about 14 years after she died of an inoperable brain tumor. Despite how much hate he gets from other DiMeras, you may recall EJ was one of the few DiMeras Lexie trusted.

 EJ’s Love for Lexie on DOOL

EJ helped Lexie fulfill her bucket list when she learned there was no hope for surviving her brain tumor. EJ always felt guilty about the DiMera tunnel toxins causing her death. So, it’s no surprise that EJ has Rolf resurrecting his favorite sister.

Dr. Rolf said Lexie should be waking up any time now. She’s back to the land of the living and her brain function is good. They just need her to open her eyes. This week, EJ’s spending time with his sleeping sister, tenderly touching her head. And he introduces someone to Lexie.

That’s the first place to start with the epic fallout ahead from this wild thing that EJ, Rolf and Gwen have done—this life giving miracle. A perfected resurrection serum that hopefully avoids all the side effects of some of the prior versions Rolf developed.

Paulina Price’s Marriage to Abe in Jeopardy on Days

So first, let’s talk about negative consequences to Lexie’s resurrection. Primarily this will hit Abe’s current wife, Paulina. By the end of this week or early next week, I suspect EJ shows a stunned Paulina who he’s got in the person pod.

She knows Lexie’s resurrection will likely end her marriage to Abe. How could it not? Right now, he’s happy with the life he has with Paulina and their blended family of Lani Price (Sal Stowers), Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and Theo. But Lexie and Abe were soulmates, madly in love at the time of her death.

For Abe, it’s been 14 years. For Lexie, it’ll feel like 14 minutes. She’d expect Abe to be with her. And I bet Lexie will fight for her man. But Paulina has to know this is bad for her marriage. And if she tells Abe that EJ resurrected Lexie to ruin their marriage, I’m not sure Abe will care.

Or he might not like Paulina making this about herself. Bottom line is EJ’s resurrecting Lexie because he loves her. But EJ will also enjoy hurting Paulina because she’s been a pain in his backside for a long time and gets to see his son and grandson when EJ’s banned.

Abe Carver Torn Between Two Loves on Days of Our Lives

As for the fallout on Abe’s life, it’ll be super complicated—a mixed blessing type of situation. He’s happily married to Paulina, but Abe’s been a bit upset with her because she encouraged Theo to pursue being CEO of DiMera Enterprises.

Abe knows Lexie wouldn’t have wanted Theo to work for her father’s company but Paulina wasn’t swayed by that. Bringing Lexie back to life is part of EJ’s elaborate plan to oust Theo from DiMera and try to keep his own son, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), around to run the show as CEO.

While Lexie might also want Theo out at DiMera, I’m not sure how she’ll feel about EJ and Abe conspiring. But then again, she may not mind if it keeps Theo safe on Days of our Lives. I expect to see Abe torn because he loves Paulina but he’d still be with Lexie if she hadn’t died. This’ll be hard on Abe.

Theo Carver Gets His Mom Back

And of course, huge fallout’s coming from Theo. He was just nine years old when his mom Lexie died. And while he really likes working for Stefano DiMera’s (Joe Mascolo) company and representing the DiMeras, Theo might quit if Lexie asked him to.

Since Theo almost died because of his uncle, Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier), he may decide to treasure his time with his resurrected mom and if Lexie wants him out at DiMera, Theo might walk away. And I’m sure Lexie’s going to be impressed with how Theo’s dealt with his autism and other struggles.

EJ’s Motives Will Be Questioned on DOOL

Now, let’s talk about the mastermind of all this—EJ orchestrated this research and resurrection to bring his sister Lexie back to life. But EJ can’t know how Lexie will react to being resurrected. I’m sure she’ll be glad for more time with Theo and Abe.

But Lexie also won’t like being a pawn in a DiMera power play. So, while I’m sure EJ presents this as him wanting to have his favorite sister back and wanted her to have a life with her son, Lexie will probably sniff out that EJ has other motives, some of them nefarious.

The Carver-Price Family Overwhelmed on Days of Our Lives

Finally, the entire Carver-Price household is going to be overwhelmed. Lani and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) are moving back to Salem soon, probably ASAP once they find out Lexie is alive. Lani loves both of her parents. But knows how much Abe grieved Lexie until he fell for Paulina.

Plus, Chanel’s in a high-risk pregnancy and wants her and Johnny to have nothing to do with EJ. And even though Chanel may be thrilled for Theo, I’m sure she will tell Johnny that EJ orchestrated all this to target her mom Paulina.

I can’t wait until we see Lexie open her eyes and begin her second chance at life in Salem! Hopefully she’s got no amnesia and it’ll be like she nodded off to sleep then woke back up, ready to resume her life. Which is going to cause ripple effects in many other lives. It starts soon!
