Doctor Who gets another Season 6 trailer

Hot on the heels of this week’s news that Doctor Who fans will be treated to a trio of specials in the time leading up to and around the midseason premiere, a new preview of the six remaining episodes has found its way online.

The new teaser comes courtesy of BBC, and offers a bit more footage than we saw in the second-half trailer that debuted at the end of July.

The new preview puts a bit more emphasis on resolving the “Impossible Astronaut” storyline from the season’s first half, and also features another shot of The Doctor in a Stetson. Running his finger down the door of the TARDIS, he tells his time- and space-traveling police box that they’re about to embark on “one last trip”… which is likely to send a chill down even the most jaded Whovians’ spines. (Okay, maybe that’s just me.)

There’s also an interesting, blink-and-you-miss-it scene showing a train entering a massive pyramid. As the camera pans around the structure, a large American flag and the words “Area 52” can be seen on one side of the pyramid.

Doctor Who returns for its midseason premiere August 27 on BBC America.

“The Big Game” is only a few days away. After a long regular season, an NFL champion will finally be crowned in Super Bowl LVIII as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers. The game will be played inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home of the Raiders.

The Chiefs have won two of the last four Super Bowls and will attempt to win No. 3 on Saturday night. If Patrick Mahomes and company win the Super Bowl, they will be considered one of the NFL's best dynasties, joining the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2010s New England Patriots. Looking to play spoiler will be the San Francisco 49ers, who are looking to avenge their loss in Super Bowl LIV to the Chiefs. With a 49ers' win, San Francisco will tie the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowls of all time with six.

Humanity faces the Fall of Reach in new Halo season 2 trailer
Master Chief's reflection appears in his helmet in a scene from Halo season 2.

One of the most common complaints about the first season of Paramount+'s Halo is that it didn't feel enough like the hit video game series that spawned a franchise. Thankfully, the new trailer for Halo season 2 seems to be addressing that by filling the screen with epic sci-fi combat that even extends into space. It also appears that the show has reached a pivotal moment in the history of the Halo universe: The Fall of Reach. Within the games and the show, Reach is the name of a human colony in the 26th century, and its devastation was one of humanity's darkest hours. That's why Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) is going to light the way for mankind's survival.
