Following on from the thrilling NCIS Season 19 Episode 21 was challenging, but NCIS Season 20 Episode 1 was a formidable attempt to give fans a payoff and set up the crossover between NCIS: Hawai’i. Truth be told, I found it difficult to connect with Parker when he first showed up on NCIS Season 19. Making Gary Cole the lead in the aftermath of Mark Harmon’s exit was always going to be a bitter pill to swallow, but as the season continued, Parker came into his own. The series was creatively in a good place, thanks to some significant shifts…
Breaking more than seven months of calm, the peninsula of Reykjanes in western Iceland has once again burst into volcanic flames. After a swarm of earthquakes in late July and early August rocked the area,lava burst forth from the Fagradalsfjall volcano into the valley of Meradalir—not far from the barely cooled lava from the same volcano’s 2021 eruption—treating tourists and researchers to the vibrant red-orange glow of fresh molten rock just 20 miles from Iceland’s capital of Reykjavk. Such striking volcanic displays are relatively common in Iceland. The entire country, which is one of the geologically youngest landmasses in the…
Bella Hadid. Photography courtesy of Getty Images Shelve your hot pants. It’s big shorts season. By Natalie Michie Date August 12, 2022 Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for micro-mini shorts. But the fact is, sometimes I simply don’t want to be perceived. And when it’s hot out, finding breezy clothes that still offer me a sense of anonymity is a challenge. Enter Bermuda shorts. As far as polarizing pants go, Bermudas reign supreme. The high-waisted, pleated, knee-length shorts have gained an anti-chic reputation that can only be described as retired tourist attire. When you think “Bermuda shorts,” you may…
Of course, you’re not supposed to know this. You’re not supposed to know that you’re being mind-controlled, right now, by a self-replicating mutagenic xeno-substance that was initially sold to us as the key to the future. So the proof of its existence is hidden in the only place it can be hidden. It’s hidden in science fiction.This year alone, black goo—the science-fictional name for the science-factual graphene oxide—has seeped its way into not one but two sci-fi shows, Severance and Westworld. Three if you count Stranger Things, where it was sighted in earlier seasons. These sightings and intertextual seepages—sublimations, clearly,…

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Love Is Blind: After the Altar Season 2.] Netflix‘s Love Is Blind: After the Altar takes viewers back into the drama of Love Is Blind Season 2 — not Shake and Deepti’s, but rather Shaina, Natalie, and Shayne’s.

It’s Consequence’s 15th anniversary, and all September long we’ll be publishing a series of retrospective pieces encompassing our publication’s own history — and the entertainment landscape in general. Today, we’re opening up a discussion about how we decide to cover artists and their music — or not — when it all goes wrong. When it comes to language around acceptable behavior, there’s a tendency towards binary thinking, as if breaking a taboo were the same as flipping a switch — “yes” to “no,” “politically correct,” to “politically incorrect,” “uncanceled” to “canceled.” But that’s not exactly what happens. Let’s say, for example,…

The Resident‘s biggest finale cliffhanger dealt not with matters of life or death but a matter of the heart. Now that Atlanta’s Chastain Park Memorial is open for Season 6, how does widowed attending physician Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) end his love triangle and move forward? “We’re going to spend a little time guessing,” teases executive producer Amy Holden Jones, but by the end of the first hour, we’ll know whether he chose ER doc Cade Sullivan (Kaley Ronayne) or chief of surgery Billie Sutton (Jessica Lucas). More questions arise: “When you had a great love, can you find another?…
Many organisms in nature have evolved spots with two structural colors on their bodies, like the Papilio Palinurus butterfly. The green color on its wings derives from the turquoise-yellow dual color spots. Imitation of such dual-color spots is believed to inspire designs of functional materials in many industrial areas since they are related to the camouflage, message delivery, and thermoregulation of these species. However, the construction of the dual-color spots suffers from complicated processes, expensive equipment, as well as multiple predesigned building blocks. Recently, a group of researchers has made a key breakthrough in fabricating dual-color domes. The team was…

Goth metal icons Tristania have broken up after 26 years.

This came as a shock…
“Live-action remake” feels like an increasingly inaccurate term to describe Disney’s updated versions of animated classics. Certainly some of these films contain casts of real, live performers, like Aladdin or Mulan. But many of them feature little to no discernible human presence. In the tradition of The Jungle Book and The Lion King’s “live-action remakes” comes the new Pinocchio from director Robert Zemeckis, which stars a flesh-and-blood Tom Hanks as Geppetto, surrounded by a menagerie of CGI creatures: Fake cats, fake fish, fake crickets, fake donkeys, fake whales — not to mention a lot of fake-looking green-screen environments for them to shuffle through. One watches in desperate hope that Pinocchio’s wish to…

A first-of-its-kind research experiment led by researchers at University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science confirmed that a popular sport fish exposed to sublethal levels of crude oil and released back into the wild exhibits altered behavior, decreased survival, and reduced spawning. The findings suggest that during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, mahi-mahi in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean exposed to crude oil, experienced behavioral impairment such as decreased survival and spawning frequency. To conduct the experiment, the researchers caught wild mahi-mahi in the Gulf of Mexico, fitted them with satellite…
