SEASON PREMIERE: When Disney+ premiered almost a year ago, one of the absolutely primary draws was this new Star Wars spinoff series – and both Disney+ and The Mandalorian have been received with wild enthusiasm ever since. And for Season 2, The Mandalorian brings out some big guns, and I’m not just talking about rebel weaponry. New series stars added for this new cycle include Timothy Olyphant, Rosario Dawson (pictured), and Battlestar: Galactica&n

Tonight’s CBS repeat showing of the 2017 episode of CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Discovery gives a callback all the way to the third episode of Season 1 from the original NBC Star Trek series back in 1966.
