A newsletter is never late, Space.com reader, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to… Are you buying it? No?
OK, fine, I was on vacation. You caught me. The entertainment industry got together and thought it would be funny to release all the movie trailers while I was out, too, with trailers for The Mandalorian & Grogu, Tron Ares, and *checks notes* Greenland 2: Migration… Honestly, I'd throw shade at that last one, but it was the best trailer of the three. At least I know what that movie is about: Gerard Butler fighting the weather. I can't say the same about The Mando movie, whose trailer was a bunch of pretty shots with zero context.
Beyond the announcements, we've had some tremendous writing on the site over the past month or so, with our writers diving into Alien: Earth's laissez-faire approach to canon, question who the new Star Trek kids show is really for (spoilers: it's not kids), and making the case for a follow-up to Star Trek: Bridge Crew, the VR game that let you command your own starship. Speaking of VR games, we checked out the non-VR version of Alien: Rogue Incursion, which stripped out the VR gimmick and replaced it with… er, harsh language?
We must have a hull breach over here at the moment, because we're taking on dangerous levels of nostalgia. On the movie front, The Martian turned 10, and our writer Rich made the bold claim that it's "The Shawshank Redemption" in space — I know, sounds wild, but he had me convinced by the end. We also looked back at a quartet of anniversary retrospectives for Serenity, Andromeda, Space: Above and Beyond, and Thunderbirds.
Your regularly scheduled newsletter timings will resume this month. Have a great weekend, everyone.
See you out there,
Ian Stokes, Entertainment Editor, Space
