YouTube TV is in the middle of negotiations with NBC to extend their contract. If a deal isn't reached by Thursday, then YouTube TV loses NBC channels and will reduce its price.

An update on YouTube Official Blog was posted on Sunday. If YouTube TV and NBC don't agree on terms then the monthly price of YouTube TV will drop from $64.99 to $54.99. The press release from YouTube implies that NBC is treating them unfairly.

"Our ask is that NBCU treats YouTube TV like any other TV provider," the blog post states. "In other words, for the duration of our agreement, YouTube TV seeks the same rates that services of a similar size get from NBCU so we can continue offering YouTube TV to members at a competitive and fair price."

YouTube TV will lose NBC's Sunday Night Football and other NBC programs like Saturday Night Live. Meanwhile, NBC's parent company is busy working on their new streaming service Peacock. Peacock currently broadcasts Sunday Night Football and will live-stream new episodes of Saturday Night Live as they air on NBC.

In IGN's YouTube TV review, we praised the number of channels but, "YouTube TV feels like it isn't adapting, and that's not entirely its own fault. It's saddled with the same problems that are dooming standard cable television: it is expensive, you are forced to pay for channels you don't want, the resolution is bad, and the viewing experience is intertwined with advertising."

New TV shows this fall include NBC's Ordinary Joe and La Brea as well as other network shows like The Wonder Years and CSI. There are also big streaming shows to look forward to including Hawkeye and The Book of Boba Fett.

Curb Your Enthusiasm aired its season 10 finale on HBO in March 2020. Curb's season 10 was nominated at the Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series but lost to the final season of Schitt's Creek. Every season of Curb besides the first season has been nominated for the top comedy series award at the Emmys but it has yet to win.

The show stars David as a fictional version of himself with Jeff Garlin, J.B. Smoove and Richard Lewis in supporting roles. Lewis posted on Twitter in April that he was only able to appear in one episode this season due to surgery recovery.

HBO Max released a lot of new titles in September including new movies directed by James Wan and Clint Eastwood as well as the third season of Doom Patrol.

As part of today's hardware event, Amazon announced Astro, a home robot that costs $999.

Astro is a small household robot that features a rotating screen with eyes and can move around using wheels that are attached to the base. Amazon says Astro is aimed to appear friendly and animated and can patrol around your house. Unlike some smart home devices, Astro is designed to navigate around objects and avoid bumping into things such as pets and stairs thanks to intelligent motion.

Astro can do a ton of commands, including ones found in other Echo devices such as sending you reminders, making a video call, and telling you the weather or the time. But the household bot can also do unique actions, such as delivering something like a beverage or another item to someone else in the house on your behalf.

Astro can also be used for security purposes. Astro will alert owners if it detects an unrecognized person or hears certain sounds when you are not home, and with a Ring Protect Pro subscription, Astro will investigate activity and save videos onto Ring's cloud storage system.

The robot comes equipped with microphones, cameras, and sensors but if privacy is an issue for you, Amazon confirmed that you can turn these features off whenever you'd like. Owners of an Astro robot will also be able to set "out of bound zones," which will set limits on where the robot is not allowed to go in the house.

Amazon did not mention when Astro will be available for purchase publicly, but just like the Ring Always Home Cam, those interested can apply for a chance to preorder the "Day 1 Edition" of Astro.

Netflix is continuing its foray into video games with three new titles aimed at casual audiences. However, most people around the world still can't try out the service.

As reported by TechCrunch, Netflix subscribers in Spain, Italy, and Poland can access three new games starting today: Shooting Hoops, Teeter Up, and Card Blast. Users in these regions can find the titles under a new 'Games' tab in the Netflix app, but only on Android devices.

Users will not have to pay extra to access games on Netflix. The games added today also won't include ads or in-app purchases, which is consistent with Netflix's previously detailed mobile game strategy.

This project is still in its experimental phase for Netflix. This summer, the streaming giant said, "We think the time is right to learn more about how our members value games.” For now, the company is focusing mostly on mobile games, as well as interactive shows in the vein of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.

Netflix previously launched an early version of this service in Poland to subscribers with an Android device. The library originally included Stranger Things: The Game and Stranger Things 3: The Game.

Earlier this year, Netflix was reportedly approaching industry veterans to help the company with its expansion into video games. They eventually brought veteran video game executive Mike Verdu on as the new vice president of game development at Netflix.

On the television side, Netflix has also been interested in video game properties. Following the success of season one of The Witcher, Netflix is also investing in shows based on Sonic the Hedgehog, Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil, and more.

It’s a damp, cold evening in October 2019, and I’m in the real-life Q Branch garage, also known as a warehouse in Pinewood Studios. I’m one of about a dozen journalists being shown James Bond’s classic Aston Martin DB5, which has been newly upgraded for its next mission. I’m standing right in front of the iconic car as No Time To Die’s SFX supervisor, Chris Corbould, activates its most impressive new gadget.

Both of the DB5’s bulbous headlamps sink into the engine bay, sliding aside to reveal twin rotary mini-guns. The ordnance slides forward, pausing only to click into place before spinning up to a speed that makes the six individual barrels disappear into a blurr. Small jets of flame erupt from the muzzles while the guns buzz like furious hornets. A stream of brass shells eject from the air intakes on the wings of the car, which sounds akin to coins spilling from an overstuffed bank vault as they scatter over the floor.

“A bit more spectacular, I think you’ll agree,” says Corbould.

It’s a stunt that should have me and everyone else in the room diving for cover, especially considering we weren't told that this is what the DB5 can do now. But, despite the odd buzzing noise (which will be enhanced in the Foley studio for the actual film) the prop guns elicit a smile of approval from many of the reporters standing in the car’s firing arc. They are definitely a fun replacement for the .30 calibre Browning machine-guns that used to hide behind the DB5’s indicator bulbs.

The DB5’s new kit is deemed exciting enough to be the included in almost every one of No Time To Die’s many trailers (an unfortunate result of the film’s constantly shifting release date). The scene sees Bond spinning the car in circles around a square in Matera, Italy, gunning down enemies as he strafes. Not seen in the trailers is the thick smoke screen that belches from the exhausts, the new LCD programmable license plates, or the bomb dispenser hiding beneath the rear bumper.

Corbould demonstrates the bomb hatch for us, which somewhat pathetically drops half a dozen plastic naval mine-like explosives onto the concrete floor. “Going at 60 miles-per-hour they fly all over the place,” he promises. “An unfortunate Jaguar XF runs over a few of these and they all explode, which puts the car on its side and sends it into a building.”

This particular gadget-laden DB5 is one of 10 used on No Time To Die. Two are original models from “way back when”, while a further eight were built for the film in collaboration with Aston Martin. Two of these are stunt vehicles equipped with ‘pods’ atop the roofs, from which professional drivers can sit and control the vehicles while actors take the wheel inside. Another two are gadget cars fitted with Q Branch gizmos, while the final four are used for battle damage scenes.

“We made these bullet hits in the screen by firing pellets at them with Daniel Craig inside,” says Corbould, pointing to a DB5 with dozens of bullet holes in the windows. “There’s a great shot of him inside and the windows are literally rupturing around him.”

The DB5 may be the centrepiece of No Time To Die’s garage, but it’s not the only Aston Martin in the film. While in London, Bond drives an Aston Martin V8. Chosen by director Cary Joji Fukunaga, this green 1980s classic is practically identical to the one driven by Bond in 1987’s The Living Daylights. Corbould gives no indication as to if it would be equipped with hubcap lasers and a self-destruct system, but it does sport the same registration plate as the one Timothy Dalton drove 34 years ago.

Finally, there are two modern Aston Martins; the Valhalla (which is unfortunately not parked in the Pinewood garage) and the DBS Superleggera. Rather than driven by Bond, the ultra-modern DBS is the personal car of MI6’s new agent, Lashana Lynch’s Nomi.

“Bond is picked up in this by another 00 agent,” says Corbould. “He’s a bit miffed that this agent has this fantastic car. So there’s a bit of backwards and forwards dialogue about it.”

While Fukunaga chose the vintage V8, the DBS was Craig’s choice, despite the car not belonging to Bond. “I think we needed a very modern car,” says Corbould. “Aston Martin very kindly put forward the DBS which Daniel really liked, so he had a big say in it coming on the scene.”

In direct opposition to these British supercars, No Time To Die’s second big chase sequence uses a much more humble vehicle. “It’s a totally off-road sequence that starts in Norway,” Corbould reveals. “Bond is in an old Toyota Land Cruiser, which is the car of the other person he’s with at the time.” Considering what else was revealed to us at Pinewood, it seems logical to conclude that this old Toyota belongs to Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann, who lived in Norway as a child.

“And all of a sudden we have two of these Land Rover SVRs on his tail,” describes Corbould. “So he tries to escape, but obviously these are very fast compared to an old Toyota Land Cruiser. But he manages to run them off the road.”

“Shortly after that he thinks he’s got away, but three of these things appear very spectacularly,” says Courbould, pointing to a trio of brand new Land Rover Defenders. During production the Defender was itself in development, which meant for a lot of secretive back-and-forth meetings with Jaguar Land Rover. Espionage is certainly not what you expect from a 4x4, but Bond will always inject a little excitement into dealings.

These high-octane car sequences will finally be on the big screen September 30, 2021 in the UK, and October 8 in the US. For more on No Time To Die, check out what we learned on the movie’s set, and Daniel Craig’s farewell speech to the Bond cast and crew.

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski has addressed his decision to develop a "from-the-ground-up reboot" of the beloved 90s space opera series.

Straczynski, who recently co-created the Netflix sci-fi drama Sense8 with the Wachowskis, took to Twitter on Monday to confirm his involvement in the widely-reported Babylon 5 reboot. He confirmed that a rebooted version of the show is in active development for The CW and that he's "hip into writing the pilot now, and will be running the series upon pickup."

To answer all the questions, yes, it’s true, Babylon 5 is in active development as a series for the CW. We have some serious fans over at the network, and they’re eager to see this show happen. I’m hip deep into writing the pilot now, and will be running the series upon pickup.

— J. Michael Straczynski (@straczynski) September 27, 2021

"The network understands the uniqueness of Babylon 5 and is giving me a great deal of latitude with the storytelling," Straczynski assured fans in his lengthy Twitter thread, which also addressed some of the reasons behind the decision to create a hard reboot of Babylon 5 rather than returning to the original series' universe for a continuation of the story.

Straczynski explained that he had added several tools to his toolbox in the years since Babylon 5 had been on screens, with the original series airing between 1993 and 1998. He suggested those new tools and resources would ultimately change his approach to the show and that there would be "no fun and no surprises" in retelling the same story in the same way.

"Better to go the way of Westworld or Battlestar Galactica where you take the original elements that are evergreens and put them in a blender with a ton of new, challenging ideas, to create something fresh yet familiar," he said, adding, "I hope to create additional new forms of storytelling that will further push the television medium to the edge of what’s possible."

"To those asking why not just do a continuation, for a network series like this, it can't be done because over half our cast are still stubbornly on the other side of the Rim," he explained in additional tweets. "Our original Londo without the original Vir? Or G'Kar? How do you tell Sheridan's story without Delenn? Or the story of B5 without Franklin? Garibaldi? Zack?"

He concluded his comments by promising fans that the rebooted version of the show would attract "new viewers while honoring all that has come before," with a story that will reportedly revolve around series protagonist John Sheridan as he takes command of Babylon 5 — a diplomatic station built in the wake of a devastating war with an advanced alien race.

Straczynski is currently working on the reboot alongside Warner Bros., which helped produce the original Babylon 5, and will help pen the script. In the meantime, you can catch a remastered version of the original show on HBO Max, which cleans up the original special effects at the expense of returning to the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
