TV review: 'Alien: Earth' a frightening, provocative sci-fi entry
1 of 5 | Kirsh (Timothy Olyphant) examines a specimen in "Alien: Earth," on FX and Hulu Aug. 12. Photo courtesy of FX LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Alien: Earth, premiering Aug. 12 on Hulu, is a satisfying extension of the movie franchise that explores new stories in depth over the course of several episodes. Set in the same universe, the show's opening text explains the differences between the types of artificial intelligence seen in the Alien films: Cyborgs are humans with mechanical parts, synthetics are all artificial, and hybrids are human minds in artificial bodies. The show follows Wendy (Sydney Chandler), a child with cancer who was transitioned into an adult hybrid body. It opens in 2105 with a spaceship crew on the Maginot transporting specimens fans will recognize as the facehugger that implants the chest burster in human hosts. What causes the Maginot to crash into the Paradise "Neverland" Research Island feels like the ending of an Alien movie: The android Morrow (Babou Ceesay) sacrifices the human crew to preserve the specimens, and viewers are treated to some brutal alien kills. Viewers don't need to see much more than that though, because there are already nine movies with similar content. Still, the show delivers a scary alien encounter concentrated in those brief moments and it seems at least one traditional alien encounter per episode. What's more pressing are the two questions the series inherently asks: 1) Why did the Weyland Yutani company send Alien's Nostromo to pick up aliens on planet LV-246 if they already collected specimens? 2) If those specimens got to Earth, why hadn't Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley or her crew, let alone the people she met back on Earth in Aliens, ever heard of them? Those are questions that may take more than a single season to answer. Alien: Earth poses many more immediate issues that are equally interesting. The scientists at Neverland talk to their child test subjects like doctors trying to make patients comfortable. They tell Wendy about Neil Armstrong and show Disney's Peter Pan on the ceiling, leading her to choose the name Wendy. The scientists gave Wendy an adult body because her physical form is going to stay the same age forever. Staying in a child's body forever would be impractical, and Wendy's young mind is forced to catch up to her new body faster than even the most challenging puberty. The bodies also have no hormones, so emotions become an issue. The scientists led by Dame Sylvia (Essie Davis) attempt to simulate emotions, which will surely come with a lot of trial and error, but the android caretaker Kirsh (Timothy Olyphant) raises the relevant question of why bother with emotions in the first place? These hybrids do need to pass for human, but the push and pull between emotions and logic are a classic science-fiction theme. Dynamic visuals portray the children uploaded to their adult bodies in succession in a single take. The scientists also specify that the procedure only works on children because adult minds are too stiff to transition into synthetic bodies. This also adds a generational separation between the hybrids and human adults. The hybrids are shown to be capable of extraordinary feats without overdoing the visual effects. Wendy can leap from a cliff and land on the ground easily, or lift four children with little effort. Hybrid technology was invented by Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin), who behaves very much like Mark Zuckerberg was portrayed in the film The Social Network. He invented this life saving and potentially revolutionary technology, but he is insufferable. Meanwhile, the alien specimens on the Maginot include new species with their own horrifying attributes. Series creator and director Noah Hawley uses the frame to show aliens of all varieties crawling in the background, unbeknownst to the characters. Corporate control over human bodies is more terrifying than aliens, though. The Maginot crash leads to a shocking disaster that can suddenly be graphically violent and then just as quickly move on. The search and rescue crew gives space marine vibes, thus including a sense of the sequel Aliens in the series. The design of the show is faithful to the original 1979 movie in a modern context. Since it is set a few years before the movie, settings and technology can look a bit fresher before they've been run down. As he did with Fargo, Hawley invented an Alien show that is faithful to the movies while exploring original ideas within. There is more connective tissue to the Alien movies, with the creature itself and broader mythology addressed, but Hawley has enough ideas of his own to warrant investing an hour a week.

'Golden Girls' to mark 40th anniversary: Look back at iconic sitcom, how to rewatch
It's been four decades of being a friend to Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia. "The Golden Girls" marks its 40th anniversary in September, but the iconic sitcom that followed the lives of four single women is still resonating with viewers today. The show, which starred Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty, debuted on Sept. 14, 1985 and ran for seven seasons on NBC. It was considered progressive for its time, in part for depicting four independent, sex-positive women over the ages of 50. Grab a slice of cheesecake and head to your nearest lanai — here's what to know about the milestone anniversary. How to watch 'The Golden Girls' All seasons of "The Golden Girls" are available to watch on Hulu or Disney+ with a Hulu subscription. Hulu offers two streaming plans, including one with ads and one without. The ad-supported plan costs $9.99/month or $99.99/year. The ad-free plan is available for $18.99/month. There is also a bundle option for Hulu and Disney+, which includes access to both platforms starting at $10.99/month. Sign up for Hulu 'The Golden Girls' cast The ensemble cast of "The Golden Girls" featured Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy), Betty White (Rose), Rue McClanahan (Blanche) and Estelle Getty (Sophia). Arthur, who was also known for her work in "All in the Family" and "Maude," portrayed Dorothy, a substitute teacher and divorcee on the show. Getty appeared as Sophia, Dorothy's mother. White, who died in 2021 just shy of her 100th birthday, played a widow and mother of five, Rose, who was known for her naivety. McClanahan's character, Blanche, was the Southern belle of the group and also a widow. How old are 'The Golden Girls' in the show? Sophia was the oldest of the four main Golden Girls. In the season two episode "Piece of Cake," Sophia revealed that she turned 50 in April 1956, making her around 79 years old in season one. The youngest Golden Girl was Blanche. In the show's third season, Blanche said she was 17 years old in 1949, so when the series began in 1985, she was about 53 years old. Rose was 55 during the show's first season, as revealed in the episode "Job Hunting." In the season three episode "Nothing to Fear, But Fear Itself," Sophia said Dorothy was conceived in 1931, making her 54 years old at the start of the show. How many seasons are there of 'The Golden Girls'? "The Golden Girls" ran for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992. In addition to its 180-episode span, the show produced several spin-offs, including "The Golden Palace" and "Empty Nest." During its run, "The Golden Girls" won 11 Emmy awards and four Golden Globe Awards. All the lead actresses won Emmy awards for their role on the show as well. How did 'Golden Girls' end? The series finale of "The Golden Girls" aired as a two-part episode on May 9, 1992. During the episodes, Blanche tries to set her Uncle Lucas up with Dorothy, but Dorothy and Lucas instead trick her into thinking the couple hit it off and decided to get married. By the end of the ruse, Dorothy and Lucas decide to wed for real. In the end, Dorothy moves out of the Miami home she shared with Blanche, Rose and Sophia to live with Lucas in Atlanta. The latter three women went on to star in "The Golden Palace" spin-off. Contributing: Olivia Munson, USA TODAY Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY. She can be reached at

Forbes Daily: Tesla Reward CEO Elon Musk With 'Good Faith' Stocks
From Beatlemania in the 1960s to Taylor Swift's seemingly permanent residence on today's Billboard charts, pop culture fandoms can drive real business. Take the cult classic TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . While its final season wrapped more than 20 years ago, Buffy and its spinoff series Angel have made over $120 million for Hulu since the start of 2020 alone, and the streaming platform is now planning a new reboot series. The 'Buffyverse,' or Buffy universe, is also a merch magnet, inspiring recent collaborations with Adidas and Loungefly. More than just nostalgia for '90s trends, these devoted fans are a lucrative community. When Buffy actor Charisma Carpenter hosted a recent live taping for her new podcast, the packed event generated a waitlist and spawned adjacent Buffy meetups in New York—not to mention the fans paying $7 per month for premium podcast content. Photo by Nikolas Kokovlis/NurPhoto via Getty Images Tesla approved a stock award worth about $29 billion to CEO Elon Musk, even as his previous multibillion-dollar pay package remains hung up in court. In a regulatory filing with the SEC, the carmaker said it would grant 96 million shares of common stock to Musk as an interim reward, with the company telling shareholders the award served as a 'good faith' payment. The company also noted that a 'longer-term CEO compensation strategy' for Musk will be put to a shareholder vote in November. The lawyers of President Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch have agreed to pause an effort to force the 94-year-old media magnate to testify before a federal court in the president's defamation case against the Wall Street Journal's reporting on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Neither side will 'engage in discovery' until the Journal's motion to dismiss the case is heard—but if the motion is denied, Murdoch will have to provide the court with 'regularly scheduled updates' on his health. President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Photo byPresident Donald Trump said he will raise India's 25% tariff rate 'substantially,' citing the country's continued purchases of discounted oil from Russia. While it's unclear what the new rate will be, Trump threatened last month to place 100% levies on countries doing oil business with Moscow unless it signs a peace deal with Ukraine. MONEY + POLITICS Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump Photo byDonald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were named members of an advisory board to a new special-purpose acquisition company seeking to merge with businesses advancing 'U.S. industrial capacity.' The SPAC—called New America Acquisition I Corp.—will target businesses that play 'a meaningful role in revitalizing domestic manufacturing,' the company said. The company plans to raise $300 million in stock by selling shares at $10, and the siblings received a combined 5 million founder shares, according to SEC filings. With the U.S. House balanced on a razor-thin margin, President Donald Trump's call for updates to the congressional map in Texas has inspired newly aggressive strategies by Democrats to also pursue gerrymandering in California, New York, Illinois and Maryland. More than 50 state Democratic lawmakers fled Texas on Sunday to deny quorum in the Republican-dominated state house, a move that temporarily blocked a vote on a new congressional map that would give Republicans five additional seats in the House. MORE: The Texas House greenlit a measure directing state police to find and arrest the Democratic lawmakers who fled the state, though the warrants will not result in civil or criminal charges. However, Texas Governor Greg Abbott also directed law enforcement to investigate the lawmakers for 'potential bribery' linked to their blocking of the quorum. TRAVEL + LIFESTYLE The State Department is launching a pilot program that would require international travelers from select countries to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa. The program targets people 'applying for visas as temporary visitors for business or pleasure' from countries with 'high visa overstay rates,' though the preview of the department's announcement does not detail the affected countries. TRENDS + EXPLAINERS Continuing its efforts to move more business online, the Social Security Administration is again pushing for changes to its phone service options. The proposed changes would require callers to go online to get a one-time code before accessing various services over the phone. But the AARP has voiced concerns over the shift, which the SSA wants to implement later this month, saying the change would be a challenge for 'the one in four older adults who report never going online.' DAILY COVER STORY Meet The Other Billionaire Behind Skydance's Paramount Deal Gerry Cardinale Alessandro Bremec/NurPhoto The year-long saga of Skydance Media's $8 billion Paramount takeover could be its own Paramount+ mini-series: There's departing boss Shari Redstone's apparent capitulation to President Donald Trump to get the deal approved, CBS's agreement to pay $16 million to Trump's future presidential library, and the subsequent announcement that it was cancelling popular Trump critic Stephen Colbert's late-night show in 2026. And that doesn't even get into the Succession -esque family intrigue of Skydance's David Ellison teaming up with his father Larry Ellison, the world's second richest person and founder of software giant Oracle. Flying under the radar, beneath all the high-stakes drama, is Gerry Cardinale, a private equity investor who is poised to be an influential figure in the new-look Paramount. His firm RedBird Capital Partners is a shareholder in Skydance, having first invested in 2020. Now the firm is putting $1.8 billion toward the $8 billion purchase price. Cardinale will join Paramount as a director and will appoint a yet-to-be-named second director. Under the new ownership structure, Cardinale will hold 22.5% of Paramount's voting rights, while David Ellison will hold 50% and Larry, who is Skydance's biggest investor, will hold the remaining 27.5%. This complicated familial-financial dynamic is likely to make Cardinale a pivotal voice in scenarios where the Ellisons butt heads. Paramount will become Cardinale's highest-profile investment, but it's hardly his first big bet. In the worlds of sports, entertainment and media, the 57-year-old investor has been striking high-stakes deals for over a quarter of a century, first at Goldman Sachs and for the last decade at RedBird, which he founded in 2014. RedBird bought Italian football club AC Milan for $1.2 billion in 2022, and has backed household names like LeBron James, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in their independent entertainment ventures. WHY IT MATTERS 'Paramount is a marquee American entertainment company with over 1,200 film titles, and hallmark TV properties like CBS News, MTV and Nickelodeon,' says Forbes staff writer John Hyatt. 'As one of just three people with voting rights at the new Paramount, along with the two Elllisons, Cardinale becomes overnight one of the most important figures in Hollywood.' MORE How Jeffrey Epstein Got So Rich FACTS + COMMENTS Nearly 90% of Americans say they're stressed about the cost of groceries, a new poll finds, as the price of food items from meats, fish and eggs to nonalcoholic beverages, fruits and cereals continue to rise in 2025: 53%: The share of Americans that view grocery prices as a major source of stress, according to the poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Another 33% view groceries as a minor source of stress 3%: How much the price of food has risen in the past 12 months, faster than the overall inflation rate measured by the Consumer Price Index, at 2.7% 81 cents: How much the price of chicken breast increased per pound over the last year, making it the largest price hike among staples tracked by NBC News STRATEGY + SUCCESS Artificial intelligence has dominated the headlines about Wall Street's performance this year, but some of 2025's best performing stocks so far aren't the household names you might expect. Among the leaders, Palantir's rise is notable for its pivot from government contractor to enterprise software provider, as well as Seagate Technology's move from consumer goods to data infrastructure.
