Fear the Walking Dead: New Cast Members Added
Fear the Walking Dead: Season 4 will return on August 12, and with it comes a host of new cast members.
Aaron Stanford (12 Monkeys), Mo Collins (Parks and Recreation), Stephen Henderson (Lady Bird), and more are joining the show as it heads into Season 4B. The new trailer for the season teased a walker hurricane haunting the show's ensemble this time out.
During the AMC series' San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel, a fan asked whether the show might see more crossovers from The Walking Dead following Lennie James' jump from one show to another. While none were confirmed, executive producer Scott M. Gimple's evasive answer certainly didn't rule out the possibility.
"It’s a shared universe, so it's possible. I would never tell you at this moment, but I really want to," Gimple said.
Overwatch Players Involved in Talks with Olympic Committee
Two players from the Overwatch League (OWL) are currently in Switzerland to meet with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) to discuss potential Olympic opportunities for esports.
Jacob "Jake" Lyon of the Houston Outlaws and Se-yeon "Geguri" Kim of the Shanghai Dragons are the two OWL players in attendance. The conference, which will wrap up tomorrow, is not about creating a specific plan for integrating esports into the Olympics immediately, according to Overwatch Wire. Instead, the two-day summit will focus on creating a relationship between esports professionals and the IOC.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – What to Expect from the New Season
Thursday, July 20 will be a day long remembered for Star Wars fans. At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, during the tenth anniversary Clone Wars panel, producer Dave Filoni calmly told a room full of breathless fans that he had a present. As the lights dimmed, those in the room became cautiously enraptured as we were treated to the voice of Captain Rex (voiced by Dee Bradley-Baker), and suddenly the hashtag appeared… #CloneWarsSaved! The atmosphere was electric, and fans roared with excitement, tears, and unabashed jubilation as the all new trailer debuted.
The twelve-episode season will presumably pick up where the series ended in March of 2014, and will run on the upcoming Disney streaming service. And for fans of the Emmy-award winning show, who have lamented its cancelation for years, there is cause for speculation in addition to celebration. What are we going to see? There are a number of threads left out there in the galaxy far, far away that deserve to be untangled, so let’s explore a few.

The rise of internet-connected “smart home” devices has made it easier than ever to keep an eye on your home while you're out and about. Whether you’re keeping an eye on your cats from work, or checking for burglars while you're out for the night, a Wi-Fi enabled security camera is an affordable way to keep an eye on your crib.
For this list I’ll be focusing on plug-and-play, cloud-connected security cameras. There are other types of security systems out there—like Ethernet-connected CCTV cameras—but putting together a CCTV system is more complex, especially since you’ll be mixing and matching cameras with DVR units, across a wide range of budgets (from the super cheap EZVIZ systems to the more expensive Hikvision cameras). They’re great if you want to wire up and manage your own system rather than relying on someone else’s "cloud," but for the sake of this guide, I’m going to keep it simple since most people just want a few cameras for their house or apartment.

Spock Will Return in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2
Before Captain Kirk, there was Captain Pike: The skipper of the USS Enterprise in the unaired first pilot for Star Trek, “The Cage,” the character was replaced/redesigned as Kirk when Pike actor Jeffrey Hunter jumped the starship and William Shatner signed on. But now Star Trek: Discovery’s second season will re-introduce Captain Pike in the person of actor Anson Mount as he teams up with Michael Burnham and the rest of the Discovery crew.
And not just that, but Pike’s science officer, Mister Spock himself, will also return. Though the circumstances surrounding that iconic character in Disco Season 2 are less clear.
Sonequa Martin-Green (Burnham), Doug Jones (Saru), Shazad Latif (Tyler/Voq), Mary Wiseman (Tilly), Anthony Rapp (Stamets), Wilson Cruz (Culber), Mary Chieffo (L’Rell) and Mount took to San Diego Comic-Con today along with executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Heather Kadin to discuss the new season of the newest Trek show. Also along for the ride in the massive Hall H was Tig Notaro, who guest stars this season as Chief Engineer Reno and moderated the panel.
