Timothy Omundson Praises "Incredible" New 'Percy Jackson' Series

Episode 3 of HBO's hit post-apocalyptic series The Last of Us presented a bold departure from the eponymous video game from which the series is adapted. The love-filled and heartwarming episode offered a break from the intense action that made up the first two episodes. Thankfully, the gamble paid off as the episode is now widely regarded as the best of the series so far and is equally the most viewed. Now, we are learning from Nick Offerman, who plays the character of Bill, on which the episode is largely focused, that he would never have been a part of the series had it not been for the convincing power of his wife, Megan Mullally.

HBO’s The Last of Us has proven to be a much-beloved addition to television viewing, with great praise reserved for its cast. The series set in a post-apocalyptic world has had its fair share of tragic and emotional moments — the latest episode, Long, Long Time, brought about many a teary eye among the show’s viewing audience. With its system of flashbacks all the way to Outbreak Day, the story of Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett) was emotionally and effectively expanded and told in a new medium. But there seems to be more heart-wrenching flashbacks on the horizon.

Late in his life, Little Richard would talk about how he was the inspiration for all the artists we now consider rock and roll. The Beatles opened for him, Jimi Hendrix played with him, and The Rolling Stones learned from him. What might seem like bold claims are actually a sad truth: Little Richard might be the most influential musician of the 20th century. The brilliance of Little Richard: I Am Everything, by director Lisa Cortés, is that it does the work and shows that Little Richard deserved better and deserved more respect for his contributions, an icon who paved the way for everyone that would come after him, from Elvis Presley to Tyler, the Creator.

As NCIS continues to air its 20th season in as many years, fans of the series are all missing the void left by the most iconic and important character from the show. At the conclusion of the previous season, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the supervisory special agent played by Mark Harmon, bid farewell to the agency with a retirement to idyllic Alaska. The significance of this departure could not be understated: Harmon was one of two original regular cast members to complete 19 seasons and was the foundation of which the rest of the show was built around. Gibbs first appeared in the backdoor pilot for NCIS in 2003 as part of the JAG series and appeared in every season since.

One of Junji Ito’s most popular characters, Tomie, is also his most frequently adapted. With nine live-action horror films under her belt and a number of appearances in his anime adaptations, the allure of Tomie’s murderous beauty is unparalleled within Ito’s canon. The manga series follows the mysterious Tomie as she enters and permanently disrupts the lives of those she encounters. Her allure is palatable, and her presence alone drives these individuals, most often men, to madness that often results in incredibly violent fits of jealous, often murderous, rage. No matter how many times she is killed, she reanimates and spreads her curse by turning others into copies of herself. Like a dream, the femme fatale to end all femme fatales, Tomie appears and disappears, leaving destruction in her wake. No one knows where she comes from or the true origin of her powers, we only know the enigma that is Tomie.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part I and Part II games.With the early renewal for the hit HBO series The Last of Us coming in just after its second episode aired, it's leaving many people wondering what to expect in Season 2. With a sequel to the game already released, and with word that the first season will likely tell the whole story of the first game, The Last of Us Part II looms large. The sequel is a completely different beast from the original, with its length being nearly double that of the first, as it tells a much more narratively complex story. With the way the first season has shown so far that it isn’t afraid to expand and change story beats, it’ll be interesting to speculate on what audiences can expect to see in a sophomore season.
