description: Could Ed return in flashbacks or in spin-off Star City?
encoded: For All Mankind has had two constants since its first season: political strife and Ed Baldwin. His act first, think later approach has ensured that he’s become a polarising fan-favourite character of the series; so naturally, his loss is a defining moment in the show’s narrative. Having been a linchpin of the alt-history sci-fi epic, one question amongst fans persists: will Ed return, either in future episodes or in Star City? It’s the first question Radio Times put to the show's creators, Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, as well as the man behind the brusque, all-American hero/space cowboy, Joel Kinnaman. "I think you can safely say that's the end of his character for the most part on For All Mankind," said Nedivi, "And I think it's a long time coming." He added: "We wanted to make sure the ending felt different than other character endings we've done, but we wanted to make sure it also felt right that he had the end of his journey on the show. So yeah, going beyond that now would feel like a disservice to the other characters that I think you'll see continue to expand their roles." Kinnaman also echoed this finality, telling us: "I think it’s done. I’m pretty sure it's done. I feel like Matt, Ben, and Ron have, throughout this project, have had a lot of discipline and not getting dragged into... they’ve just had such integrity of telling the story in a truthful way." View Green Video on the source website Ed’s legacy, however, lives on, undoubtedly playing a "big part in the rest of this season". Arguably, the divisive nature of Ed is why the "difficult decision" to kill him off is integral to the "evolution of the show" and Mars’ turbulent future. "It felt like the right time to us because of the nature of the show and the evolution of the show in terms of this generational story," Matt revealed. "A big part of why we felt it was important that Ed die early on in the season is it's about his legacy and how that impacts his daughter and his grandson and all the other …

description: Vox’s plan to take over Heaven nears completion, but does he succeed?
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for the Hazbin Hotel season 2 finale.** The tempestuous conclusion to Hazbin Hotel season 2 is upon us. Although Heaven is no longer a threat, Vox has whipped Hell up into a frenzy. Determined to become a god, he’ll seemingly stop at nothing to achieve his goals. With Lucifer trapped inside the very weapon Vox manipulated Carmilla Carmine into building, victory is within his grasp. Using Lucifier as his power source, Vox blows the pearly gates off their hinges and leaves heaven exposed. Charlie was already feeling the pressure, but with Alastor captured and Angel Dust missing, Hell’s princess is on the back foot trying to stop a holy war. But all isn’t lost, for the hotel’s ragtag gaggle of guests has a plan: to broadcast proof of Sir Pentious in Heaven. Once sinners see the truth, surely they’ll stop supporting Vox? Heaven is more than ready to assist, with Sera still desperate to atone for her past mistakes. Unfortunately, to create a broadcast link, the gang needs to break into V Tower. As if that wasn’t already dangerous enough, they also need to rescue Angel while they’re inside the belly of the beast. In short, this last stand against Vox is a monumental undertaking. Without further ado, it’s time to delve into the nitty gritty details of the Hazbin Hotel season finale. Hazbin Hotel season 2 ending explained: Does Vox take over heaven? Vox’s transformation into the foreboding antagonist of season 2 has been impressive. As this season has progressed, his obsessive need for power has continuously secured him victory over Charlie. But as his ambitions have grown, so too have the risks, and in the final episode, hubris comes back to bite Vox. Unable to resist being the strongest sinner in all of hell, Vox inadvertently helps free Alastor, with the Radio Demon now having a score to settle with his captor. As much as Vox wants to rule over Hell and Heaven, he really wants to beat Alastor, which ends up being his downfall. Overtaken by hi…

description: Everyone making it out alive feels woefully optimistic.
encoded: When there’s everything to play for but also everything to lose, death feels like an inevitable outcome. That’s the reality that Stranger Things fans are having to come to terms with now that season 5 is fast approaching. Time and again, the characters have beaten back the horrors of the Upside Down, occasionally suffering casualties but never anyone from the core group. Such odds are rare, with the group’s luck seemingly due to run out now that the end is in sight. Fans have speculated for months that big losses are on the way; however, now that season 5’s official trailer has been released, the belief that death is coming for fan-favourites has been further cemented. It begs the question of who’s most likely to fall at the final hurdle. Here are some of the biggest theories. Who will die in Stranger Things season 5? 7 of the most believable theories Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) As much as it pains us to write this, the likelihood of Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) dying is high. Even though he was initially portrayed as somewhat of a jerk in season 1, Steve has become one of the most popular characters on the show. Ironically, his popularity with the fandom is the reason his death would be so shocking. That being said, it isn’t the only reason his demise feels so plausible. Steve’s personal journey of growth is at an end. Compared to the others, Steve has minimal narrative ties to the main story. Consequently, his death would aptly bring his tale to a close, while also sending the message that no one is safe in the Stranger Things finale. The most compelling evidence hinting at this is the distinct lack of Steve in the trailer. His absence is conceivably emphasised when we see him embracing a traumatised Dustin; the way he’s holding him is intense, almost like Steve is saying his final goodbye. Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) Also greatly at risk is Will Byers (Noah Schnapp). Since the night Will was snatched out of the Byers’ dimly lit shed, he’s been an integral part of …

How could Eddie Munson return in Stranger Things season 5? Every possibility broken down

description: Fans are holding out hope that this beloved character isn’t dead.
encoded: Ever since Stranger Things season 4 aired, fans have been frantically running up that hill in a bid for answers. Among the most asked questions is the fate of Eddie Munson. The charming leader of the local Hellfire Club quickly became a fan-favourite, despite being yet another new kid on the block. And given how well new characters tend to be treated in the Stranger Things universe, fans quickly suspected Eddie (Joseph Quinn) would end up a tragic casualty of the Upside Down. Our suspicions were proven correct in season 4’s finale, in which Eddie sacrificed himself to a ravenous horde of Demobats. Eddie playing his guitar, risking it all, became one of the breakout iconic scenes of the season – and there were a lot of those. Yet, despite fans bearing witness to Eddie dying in Dustin’s arms, hope for his return still remains. Not even the Duffer Brothers telling Empire “No, he’s dead [...] RIP” has been enough to quell the belief that Eddie could rise from the dead like Lazuras himself. But how would such a return work? Let’s dive into all the ways in which Eddie could make a surprise comeback. Could Eddie Munson return in Stranger Things season 5? Every possibility broken down The Kas Theory One of the most popular fan theories, and arguably the most likely to happen if Eddie is to cheat death, is him becoming Kas the Betrayer. Kas, who was once a knight, is turned into a vampire, initially working for Vecna but ultimately betraying him. As disturbing as it may be to picture, the once sweet Eddie could be transformed into Vecna’s right hand man. Not only would this prove devastating for his old friends, particularly Dustin, but it would also line-up with Stranger Things's use of D&D lore. Moreover, if Eddie was to become a vampire (note the possible connection to Demobats), his character technically wouldn’t be alive. Trapped in Vecna's Mindscape Most of Vecna’s victims end up twisted and decayed in his mindscape, like we saw during Max’s valiant escape during episo…

Hazbin Hotel creator teases “unique” Lucifer and Alastor relationship in season 2 after fan theories

description: Season 2 will let the pair shine.
encoded: Every fandom has its fan-favourite, non-canonical pairings. For Hazbin Hotel viewers, RadioApple – which references Lucifer and Alastor, for the uninitiated – is one of the most popular ships. And season 2 might just let them shine. Arguably, episode 5 of season 1 was the fuel that lit the fire, after fans witnessed the two mighty sinners come to musical blows in the song ‘Hell’s Greatest Dad’. The way Lucifer (Jeremy Jordan) and Alastor (Amir Talai) fired sassy little quips at each other created a tsunami of fanfics of a rivalry romance blossoming between the two. Certainly, the big boss of Hell himself has an intriguing relationship with Charlie’s steadfast hotelier. One that Hazbin Hotel’s creator, Vivienne Medrano, teases is “unique” in nature. When asked if RadioApple could eventually become canon lore, Medrano gave a knowing smile. “Oh, you're asking the tough one,” she told RadioTimes.com. “I mean, that's such a fun question. Lucifer and Alastor's relationship is one of my favourites in the show to explore. I can't reveal what it is because that's really one of the ones that develops, I think, the most uniquely over the course of the whole series.” Ever vigilant of how the fandom will react to such news, Medrano was quick to clarify, “And obviously when I say relationships, that can mean a lot of things.” She continued: “They're both very prideful characters. They both think they're better than everyone else, and therefore their dynamic with each other clashes. I'm excited for people to see how that can evolve into something interesting and fun.” View oEmbed on the source website Although Lu and Bambi’s relationship could venture down many avenues, not necessarily just romantic one, it’s clear that we’re going to see a lot more of Lucifer in the coming seasons – particularly season 3, which has already been greenlit. “I don't think it’s too much of a spoiler to just say season 3 is really the Morningstar season. Lucifer is one of my personal favourites, so an…

Hazbin Hotel season 2 review: Hell's most ambitious project has a score to settle with naysayers

description: A power vacuum, a traumatised princess, and a defeated heaven is the perfect storm for the Vees' ambitions.
encoded: Renovated to near perfection, the Hazbin Hotel is open again for business in season 2. It’s been over a year since the original hotel was decimated; the fierce battle with Adam and the exorcists nearly broke Charlie (Erika Henningsen) and her band of misfits. Yet, they survived, albeit by a hair. But hell’s redemption remains a giant unknown, especially now that the overlords have scattered to the four winds, and with Vox (Christian Borle) attempting to monopolise on the chaos Charlie has wrought. Everything hangs in the balance, and not just in relation to the characters’ predicament. The first season of Hazbin Hotel was met with mixed reviews from critics, and while its fandom is fiercely loyal, season 2 has something to prove. Never one to shy away from the critics, Vivienne Medrano’s creation comes out swinging, delivering a musical extravaganza that doubles down on being unashamedly chaotic. More often than not, the anarchy of the show succeeds, largely due to the fact that it follows its own rules. However, some mistakes from the first season remain, potentially jeopardising the cult classic status the show has claimed. Compared to its sister show, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel played it safe. There was still the adult humour, musical numbers, and the oppression of hell juxtaposed against entertaining hijinks, but Hazbin Hotel was tamer. For a new animated show leaving behind its YouTube pilot and pivoting to Prime Video, it made sense. And it paid off. Now that security has been assured, the safety net has been cast off and Medrano has allowed those fever-dream-esque traits from Helluva Boss to permeate Hazbin Hotel. Much like Helluva Boss did in its second season, Hazbin Hotel hits its stride, delivering a story that continues to blur the lines between conventional good versus evil, with a threat looming large much closer to home for Charlie and co. The growing malevolence of the Vees – hell’s equivalent to the Heathers – was established early on in season 1. T…

description: The Five-Star General is just that.
encoded: Having barely beaten back Vecna at the end of Stranger Things season 4, Hawkins' trusty band of misfits are poised to once again do battle against the Upside Down. But whether Vecna will remain the major villain of the series is a source of intrigue for fans. The Demogorgon. The Mindflayer. Vecna. The Upside Down has birthed some truly unique villains over the course of Stranger Things. In season 4, the dramatic reveal of Vecna and his unexpected association with Eleven helped position him as the main antagonist of the show. As Dustin so aptly said, Vecna is a “five-star General”. Yet, the series has a habit of producing a latest creature feature each season, depicting the Upside Down as a place with seemingly unlimited potential to do damage. It’s part of the reason each season has felt different yet unequivocally connected. Still, at this late stage in the game, when the board has seemingly been set and the die cast, the Duffer Brothers should avoid overthinking their grand finale. My concern is that another even bigger and badder villain will be introduced. After all, The Upside Down, while easily manipulated by Vecna, isn’t of his making. It’s an alternate dimension with endless possibilities that Vecna has learnt to harness and use for his own gains. Ergo, something altogether scarier could be using Vecna to its own ends. Fitting though that may be in the ever expanding lore of the series and its offshoots, like the stage show, to introduce a new villain now at the end of the show would, in my opinion, hinder the narrative rather than help it. It muddies water which is already murky to begin with. Stranger Things’ lore has a serpentine quality to it; at times it feels convoluted and confusing. Adding yet another new villain into the mix would create twists that detract from the story rather than add value. Unfortunately, due to the Duffer Brothers’ lack of commitment when it comes to killing off beloved, key characters, they may feel the need to unnecessarily e…
