Having played the game, I think it's clear what moment The Last of Us season 2 is going to end on, but I'm mostly hoping it comes as a complete surprise. I don't want to see Abby at all in the episode until the very end, where I'm anticipating she'll return for a major twist. Especially since season 3 is going to be focused more on her character, I'm hoping the focus is on Ellie for all of season 2's finale.

Having just recently rewatched the Hunger Games movies, Kieran Culkin seems like a strange choice to me. I love Succession and am down to watch him in anything, but I don't see him being all that similar to Stanley Tucci. Maybe my concern is that the character will feel too much like Kieran Culkin and less like Caesar Flickerman, but I hope I'm wrong.

Chief of War just switched from being a show I'd never heard of to my most anticipated TV series of the summer. Jason Momoa looks great, but the real appeal here is the production value and historical intrigue. I feel like I've been introduced to a time period I previously knew nothing about, and I'm hoping it will offer an experience similar to Shogun.

After Conan O'Brien's immense success hosting the Oscars, his HBO series, and the ongoing love for his podcast, I feel like he's finally beginning to earn his due appreciation. I've been saying for years that Conan is one of the funniest people alive. I really hope he gets a sizable role in the movie.

Especially after a weaker season 3, I'm really excited for The Bear to have a return to form this year. I love that it's been reliable for annual releases, and the footage from the trailer looks fantastic. Honestly, it looks a lot like what we were all expecting from season 3, before the show took several detours into Carmy's past.

The Netflix Clash of Clans show was one of the more surprising headlines of the day to me. I'm not entirely opposed to it, I'm just curious about who the audience will be. If it's going to be geared toward children, I hope there's some thought and heart put into it, rather than just using the IP for something cheap. I suppose that's always my concern when a project is attached to a recognizable brand or title, and it's not exclusive to Clash of Clans.
