I understand there've been some changes on Tamaran.
Komand'r has now rightfully taken the throne? That's right.
And now, she possesses the power... You've always thought of as your own.

Season Four of HBO Max's TITANS is here with the two first episodes available for streaming.
What are the not!Teen TITANS getting up to?
Spoilers for the first two episodes and spoilers for Netflix's THE BASTARD SON & THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
We get Dick and Kory being parents to their foster children of varying abilities: Gar, Rachel, Conner and Tim.
We get Joseph Morgan as Sebastian Blood which, so far, is just him being aghast at all the blood he's envisioning.
We get a bearded Lex Luthor played wonderfully well by Titus Welliver.
We get Conner longing to know Superman and in absence of him, his other "parent" Lex.
This was actually a comics storyline that I loved. It likely happened in other arcs but I'm specifically thinking of Superboy's run by Jeff Lemire. Taking place after Conner returns from the dead he takes from Metropolis for Smallville to live with Ma Kent while he tries to figure out who he is outside of the Titans and determine if who he is stems from being a product of Clark and Lex. To suss that he out he feels he needs a better understanding of who Lex is outside of everyone's perception of him.
I have to give it to Lex - while Superman was very leery of Superboy for a long time, Lex quickly considered Kon his son.
Which is why he was a tad angry when Conner was killed.
We get Tim meeting his two loves: a bo staff and Bernard.
Yes, the show is bringing comics! Tim's love interest Bernard to the show. In this iteration he's Bernard Fitzmartin of S.T.A.R Labs.
Comics! Bernard. Old and Current Version.
Jay Lycurgo who plays Tim has a Netflix series that came out a week ago called THE BASTARD SON & THE DEVIL HIMSELF based on a YA series of books.
His character Nathan Byrne (Byrn in the books) has two love interests during the course of the season: Annalise and Gabriel.
In the books Gabriel is 19 years old to Nathan's 16 and he is 19 in the series, however because the actor who plays Gabriel is older (29 when filming) and Gabriel is more worldly, he comes across older.
There is a scene where Gabriel's boyfriend (that is before Gabriel ghosts him) mentions he's 29 (the boyfriend) so some viewers mistook that as Gabriel being 29 and others felt that if the boyfriend was 29, then that meant Gabriel was in his twenties. Knowing that Gabriel and Nathan were to have a romantic subplot I was waiting for radio silence from people who usually make a big deal out of the tiring matter of age gaps. I was so ready to hit 'em with
But, no, that age gap train is never late. Soon people who didn't bother to do a bit of research began decrying the series of glorifying paedophilia and noncery and saying how disgusting it was that an OLD MAN like Gabriel would be into a LITERAL CHILD like Nathan.
Even when others gently corrected them and even provided Gabriel's series passport
people still grumbled that they should have made it more clear or not even cast someone who looked that much older as if the cast of RIVERDALE and EUPHORIA are that much younger.
Awesome seeing “Titans” is coming back for season 4 November 3rd and like “Doom Patrol” both will be split into two parts with the 2nd part airing in 2023. They showed a trailer and a clip too with Lex at the panel where Tim mentioned Bernard!!! :D Also teased the “Stargirl” crossover which sounds like will be in part 2.
Another brilliant season of Bosch. It feels authentic, has really interesting characters and stories. It's not too gory and the main focus is on solving the crimes. If you are a fan of the books by Michael Connelly, you will love this series because they really got Harry Bosch right.
The only issue I had with this season was that Harry Bosch didn't go out to eat as much as he does! Usually the books and this show always make me hungry because Bosch is always eating great food as he solves his cases.
Maurice and Honey Chandler are two of my other favourite characters on this show.
