The final season of The Walking Dead revealed that Stephanie was a fake and that Max Mercer was the real Stephanie all along. The Commonwealth turned out to be a source of betrayal, using Eugene and his group for information before revealing the true Stephanie.

The final season revealed that The Walking Dead Stephanie was a fake all along. It turned out the Commonwealth radio operator was Max Mercer, right in time for her and Eugene to reunite before the cliffhanger-filled mid-season finale. Max, played by Margot Bingham, was confirmed as the real Stephanie in episode 5 "Out of the Ashes," but Eugene didn't learn her identity until episode 11 "Rogue Element." The Stephanie he'd met and fallen in love with was a decoy, and with...

Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1, episode 2

The Walking Dead: Dead City’s Hilltop storyline opens the door for some surprise character cameos. The Walking Dead: Dead City’s second episode introduced a new subplot set in the Hilltop community. Maggie and Negan are both occupied with their own problems in Manhattan, but not all of the show’s principal characters are directly involved in the fight against the Croat in New York.

Apparently, Negan’s traveling companion at the start of Dead City was more than just a catalyst for his story in the spinoff. After Maggie and Negan dropped her off in the premiere, Dead City episode 2 picked up where it left off with Ginny, who’s now starting school at the Hilltop. The decision to move in this direction with Ginny is significant, especially in terms of what it means for Dead City’s...

The Persona games are certainly the most popular spinoff that branched off from the Shin Megami Tensei series, but it might surprise some fans to know that Persona has more in common with Megami Tensei, the series that preceded Shin Megami Tensei. Where most Shin Megami Tensei games involve surreal, apocalyptic settings, the Persona franchise focuses on high schoolers who become immersed in a secret, supernatural world. Both series incorporate a variety of creatures pulled from real-word myths and religions, but the juxtaposition of a demon summoning RPG that is also a coming-of-age story closely aligns Persona games with the original Megami Tensei, and the novel it was based on.

Author Aya Nishitani’s trilogy of Japanese-language horror novels began with Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei, the namesake of the long-running video game series. Atlus adapted the books into Megami Tensei, a dungeon crawler-style RPG for the original Nintendo Famicom.

“Maborosi” is based on the novel “Maboroshi no Hikari” “by Teru Miyamoto. The title of the book and movie adaptation translates to “phantom light.” Writing the screenplay is Yoshihisa Ogita. Hirokazu Koreeda's first fictional feature would be a critical and financial success. It would be a major hit at the 1995 Venice Film Festival, winning a Golden Osella Award for Best Cinematography. Many viewers have described the feature as having the calm stillness of a Yasujiro Ozu picture with the emotional tone of a work by Mikio Naruse.

“We’re the ones who live,” said Rick Grimes at the conclusion of The Walking Dead’s final season, a coda scene doubling as a preview for the currently untitled Rick and Michonne spinoff series. The words are repeated throughout a montage by many former cast members, living and dead, in an impactful close to the series.

This is a phrase familiar to fans, having been part of Rick’s distraught speech after a fistfight in the streets of Alexandria in the fifth season episode “Try,” then repeated by Michonne in the seventh season episode “Rock in the Road.” Its meaning changes meaning every time it’s spoken, originally a claim that Rick’s group knows more about survival than those calling the shots in Alexandria, then meant to bring Rick back to himself when spoken by Michonne. In this final episode,...
