News doesn’t get more meta than this. Remember Galaxy Quest? It was a surprisingly fun sci-fi flick back in 1999, that starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shaloub and Sam Rockwell as former TV actors of a famed Star Trek-like show who got drafted by an alien race to help them fight off an evil threat after their …

It’s possible to see several things from space: Our effect on the planet, parts of South Africa currently experiencing load-shedding and my excitement for Star Wars: Rebels making a return to the small screen. With the first season done and dusted, the show is ready to kick it into a high gear. No more establishing boundaries, rules or scenarios, as …
