The streaming TV landscape has gotten wonderfully crowded over the last couple of weeks — a problem that’s saddled the viewing public with an embarrassment of streamable riches and is set to continue on Friday with the launch of Apple TV+ and then the launch of Disney+ shortly after that. More than 70 new originals will premiere on Netflix throughout November, and HBO has gotten in on the act, as well.

On October 20, the network premiered Watchmen, HBO’s highly anticipated new series from showrunner Damon Lindelof that’s been referred to as a creative “remix” of the beloved Alan Moore graphic novel of the same name. A review from The Guardian has called the series “the perfect superhero story for our tattered times.” This may explain why it was also the most-watched series among the major streamers this week, according to one tabulation.

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss made the news earlier this week, after speaking at the Austin Film Festival and casually revealing they had no idea of what they were doing at various points during the creation of what’s still the best show on television. The two came under fire for the way they handled the final season of the show. The writing was sub-par for most of the show, and fans trolled Benioff and Weiss with the help of Google and started two petitions that went viral. The most popular one was asking HBO to remake season 8 with more competent writers, while a second petition targeted Disney, asking the studio to put a halt to the Star Wars trilogy that D&D were supposed to make. While HBO will not remake season 8, Star Wars fans should be happy to hear that Benioff and Weiss have officially stepped away from the project.

Halloween is rapidly approaching and that means there’s a whole lot of pumpkins meeting their demise at the hands of ambitious carvers. NASA isn’t in the pumpkin carving business, but that doesn’t mean the space agency isn’t celebrating the scariest day of the year. In a timely post on its Facebook page, NASA shared a particularly spooky image of the Sun, and it sure looks familiar.

The image was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory which is currently orbiting Earth. The spacecraft is capable of snapping some truly incredible photos of our nearest star, but this particular image has special significance just days away from Halloween.

The incredible diversity of wildlife in the oceans means that no two trips below the waves are the same, and as a team of researchers recently discovered, even the most unassuming objects can hold some incredible secrets.
