What happened to Ross Geller and Rachel Green after Friends ended? The characters portrayed by David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston appeared in all 10 seasons of the NBC sitcom. Schwimmer and Aniston didn’t reprise their roles for any kind of spinoff but some interesting details have been revealed regarding their fate. The on-again-off-again relationship between Ross and Rachel was a plotline throughout the entire series. Ross had a crush on Rachel since ninth grade but he wasn’t able to act on his feelings until she came back into his life nearly a decade later....

Disney Parks’ brand new Star Wars theme park, Galaxy’s Edge, is immersing guests even further into the smuggler sanctuary of Black Spire Outpost by selling lightsaber hilt pieces as scrap metal. The success of Disney’s latest theme park has truly been out-of-this-world, with the park even maxing capacity within an hour on opening day. With demand continuing to skyrocket, Galaxy’s Edge has taken to creating a reservation system for guests to use....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones’ season 7 premiere - The season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones set the scene for the rest of the season, featuring a moment or two with almost every character. Each of the surviving Starks appeared and we saw Cersei plotting in King’s Landing, but the biggest moment by far goes to Daenerys and her entourage coming ashore in Westeros. So momentous and long-awaited is the occasion, the episode is named for it – “Dragonstone....

Game of Thrones’ ending was divisive, to say the least, but fans perhaps should’ve seen much of it coming, because it holds a number of parallels to the conclusion of The Lord of the Rings. George R.R. Martin has long been influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien, and Lord of the Rings has had a big bearing on A Song of Ice and Fire, which was inspired by the sheer number of Tolkien imitators in the fantasy fiction realm....

The Game of Thrones season 8 scripts have revealed how exactly Arya Stark managed to kill the Night King. In one of the biggest unpredictable twists in Game of Thrones season 8, the middle Stark daughter ended up being the one to defeat the White Walker leader at the climax of the dark and deadly “The Long Night.” The surprise was arguably paying off a lot of elements of Game of Thrones’ story; prophetic lines like “what do we say to the God of Death” and killing “blue eyes” were retconned to refer to Arya’s destiny, while her killing attack used light-footedness learned during her time with the Faceless Men, the catspaw dagger that had been repeatedly important, and a knife-drop trick last seen in her spar with Brienne in season 7 all came together in the attack....

George R.R. Martin feels Game of Thrones needed thirteen seasons to be a faithful adaptation. Based on Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the HBO series began airing in 2011 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The show wrapped earlier this year with season 8, which was a divisive outing for Game of Thrones, to say the least. The first six seasons of Game of Thrones ran for ten episodes each, with earlier years hewing quite close to the source material....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2C2oCsrqcM] Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple’s former head of Macintosh product development between 1981-1990, has commented on Apple’s crucial choice of Steve Jobs’s NeXTSTEP as their operating system back in 1996 instead of BeOS, his own creation. Much of NeXTSTEP code would make possible Mac OS X, later adapted for Apple’s mobile devices. Speaking at a Churchill Club “Steve Jobs’ Legacy” talk event (which is fantastic the whole way through – above) in San Jose yesterday, Gassée remarked (at about an hour in):...

The television show Friends is one of the most widely known sitcoms from the ’90s due to its memorable cast and characters, the chemistry of said characters, the overall story, and the humor. The show went on to last for ten seasons and has had an impact on other sitcoms such as How I Met Your Mother since its airing. While some of the humor used on Friends has not aged well, there are moments in the show that are still funny today, over twenty years later....

One of the best parts about Friends was Monica and Chandler’s relationship. They were the definition of friends to lovers and the most drama-free couple of the series. They were a breath of fresh air next to all the drama surrounding Rachel and Ross, their relationships, and their history. However, he wasn’t her only (serious) relationship throughout the show’s 10 seasons. All her romances, including the one with Chandler, had their ups and downs and rational and illogical moments....

Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown are in talks to join the voice cast of Disney’s animated musical movie sequel, Frozen 2. Assuming they sign on, the Westworld and This Is Us actors will be accompanied by returning cast members from the first Frozen, which include Kristen Bell as Princess Anna of Arendelle, Idina Menzel as Arendelle’s magically-powered queen and Anna’s sister Elsa, and Josh Gad as the pair’s enchanted snowman pal Olaf....

Marvel may have shut down Donald Glover’s animated Deadpool show, but FX CEO John Landgraf believes the company will eventually revisit the idea and make the series happen. Deadpool fans were excited when they heard Glover and his brother Stephen, the creative team behind the acclaimed FX series Atlanta, were developing an animated version of Deadpool for the same network. But fans’ dreams of a hilarious, highly adult Deadpool animated series airing on one of cable’s most envelope-pushing networks were shattered when the project was abruptly canceled....

The upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series titled The Long Night may not include dragons. In HBO’s hit show, the mythical creatures have been featured heavily, mostly due to Daenerys Targaryen’s character. Daenerys raised three dragons, Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion since they were babies. Over the last seven seasons, fans have gotten to watch the dragons grow and become immensely powerful beasts. It was once believed that multiple Game of Thrones spinoffs were coming from HBO, but for now, The Long Night is the only one in active development....

The scripts from Game of Thrones season 8 suggest that Jon Snow doesn’t sleep. The HBO series officially came to an end after a six-episode eighth season this past spring, with showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss receiving a lot of criticism for the way they approached the fantasy series. Jon’s lack of sleep seems to be directly related to his connection with the Lord of Light. In the Game of Thrones season 5 episode, “Mother’s Mercy,” the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch was preparing a plan regarding the White Walkers....

The first reactions to Ang Lee and Will Smith’s sci-fi thriller, Gemini Man, lay lots of praise on the film’s technical elements. Initially conceived all the way back in 1997, Gemini Man spent about two decades stuck in development and went through a whole string of directors (including, the late Curtis Hanson and Tony Scott) and leading actors (Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Nicolas Cage, and more) before Lee and Smith signed on in 2017....

We’ve got a rule around here: If you can only get free shipping through a monthly or annual membership fee, you can hardly call it “free.” What’s the best way to score this gift-giving season without the hidden costs?

The screenshot below is the good ole’ Google Reader layout. It doesn’t have any fancy bells and whistles, but it sure does get the job done. There are a ton of options and it lets you quickly sort through and read your subscriptions, but where is the fun in that? Here is where Google Reader’s “Play” comes in. It is a jet black background with auto-sized RSS feed content over the middle....

Chandler may be the lovable, charming, permanently self-deprecating member of the Friends crew, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his moments of selfishness! Over the years, Chandler has done some pretty awful things in the pursuit of women and his own self interest (usually both), and they show that he may like to crack jokes at his own expense, but he’s not shy when it comes to being shameless from time to time....

Matthew Perry played the role of Chandler Bing for all ten seasons of Friends, but there were several other major candidates considered for the part. In fact, one well-known figure was even offered the role before Perry was hired as one-sixth of the major cast. Perry’s path to joining Friends wasn’t simple, since the actor was attached to a Fox pilot at the time. Throughout Friends’ decade-long run, Chandler was portrayed as the king of sarcasm with a brash personality....

Futurama is one of the funniest science fiction series ever to air on TV. The animated classic is the brainchild of Matt Groening who also created The Simpsons. The show’s protagonist is Fry, a less-than-intelligent delivery boy who is cryogenically frozen 1999 and awakens in the year 3000. The show follows his adventures along with his best friend, the robot Bender, and his love interest, a one-eyed mutant ship’s captain named Leela....
