Pundit slammed for branding Top Gun: Maverick 'insidious,' 'poisonous'

But if you're interested in dipping into the wildly inventive, genre-bending, barnstorming adventure, try the later Jodie Whittaker episodes. Doctor Who (2005—)

At this stage, new fans might be hard to come by when it comes to this long-running British show. Whittaker steps into the Doctor's shoes, a time-traveling, space-faring alien adventurer with a kind heart and a far-out-of-this-world sense of humor.

'Maverick means to refer to the value of a pilot's instinct, but he's also asking his students to suspend their ability to think critically about the purpose of the institution they're in. (The mantra does lead Rooster to defy orders based on his moral instincts, but again, it does not jeopardize the mission.)

In other words, he ends up naked in front of oncoming trains, out in the middle of the street and in forests where he meets his future wife (Rose Leslie). Based on Audrey Niffenegger's popular novel, which spawned a 2009 movie, The Time Traveler's Wife will satisfy fans of the book and entertain those able to look past the slight ick factor.

House of Representatives voted unanimously on Friday to require Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to declassify information on the origins of COVID-19, increasing pressure on President Joe Biden's administration to allow its release. The vote was 419 to 0 in favor.

Political intrigue, character studies and the threat of war ensue. The basic premise sees a group of humans and alien species working together on the Babylon 5 space station as Earth carves its place in the galactic community. Babylon 5 (1993-1998)

More than a quarter-century after college freshman Kristin Smart vanished in what became one of California's most notorious unsolved crimes, the man ultimately convicted of killing her was sentenced on Friday to serve 25 years to life in prison. The prison term imposed on Smart's one-time classmate, Paul Flores, the maximum sentence under California's current penal system, was announced by the San Luis Obispo County district attorney in a statement.

The caucus of at least 37 members, which can stymie legislation in the narrowly divided House of Representatives, issued a position paper that would keep defense spending flat and reset nondefense discretionary spending at pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels while holding annual spending growth to 1%.

Iowa could be particularly crucial for DeSantis, who is expected to jump into the 2024 White House race later in the spring. The state will hold the first Republican nominating contest early next year, and a win there would show DeSantis is a viable candidate against Trump.

Emergency officials in several California counties spent Friday patrolling levies and swollen rivers as an "atmospheric river" storm drenched the already-sodden state with torrential rains, causing floods that washed out roads and prompted evacuations.
