Tyler (Ryan-James Hatanaka), Luke (Adam Rodriguez) and Penelope (Kirsten Vangsness) discuss JJ's loss
'I'm Great Gatsby. Have you read it? For me personally, it's gotta be, like, top book.'
'Um, yeah. It's like saying your favorite band is The Beatles.'
'They are!'
Peter (Adam DiMarco) is the kind of man who could really haunt a girl's dreams
'Kids, we got a divorce before we came back together and had you two.'
'Anything else you want to discuss tonight, Kathryn?'
'Yes. You would stop getting vertigo if you hadn't spent my money on a TV that distorts every episode of Criminal Minds!'
We hear you, Kathryn (Connie Britton), but in John's (Kyle MacLachlan) defense, those episodes are hard to see anyway!
'My pronouns are 'icon' and 'legend.''
Oh, how we've missed Nicole Paige Brooks
'Maybe next year we'll go to The White Lotus in Thailand.'
'Eh, I hear it's not as good.'
Brian (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) has zero interest in visiting The White Lotus' southeast Asia location (shots fired!)
'Dear Lord, forgive me. And please forgive them, my precious girls. Have mercy for what they've done, for they have been prisoners of wicked, godless men!'
Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) uses what she thinks will be her final words to condemn Gilead's commanders. Better late than never, eh?
'I heard you had quite a day.'
'Sore throat. I'll survive.'
Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) and June (Elisabeth Moss) engage in a little literal gallows humor
'So what you're saying is, this is organized crime, and you'd like our help on the task force.'
'I did not say any of those things.'
'We accept.'
Det. Stabler (Chris Meloni) won't let what Det. Tanner (Olivia Thirlby) actually said get in the way of what he wants to make happen
'I'm Peter, by the way. Peter Sharpe.'
'Imogen O'Claire. Sounds like a made-up name, but it's not.'
Imogen (Annie Murphy) is well aware of how her first and last names pair together
'You're gonna sit on your hands? We need to move on this guy. We need search warrants, we need a surveillance team—'
'Japan is an island — Google it. He's not going anywhere.'
Superintendent Kubo (Shintaro Kanaoya) gives Wes (Jesse Lee Soffer) a crash lesson in geography

Reiko (Yoriko Haraguchi) translates for Wes (Jesse Lee Soffer) her boss' Japanese insult

Devon (Meghann Fahy) and Simone (Milly Alcock) take sibling rivalry to new heights
'As of this taping, they still haven't renewed Doctor Odyssey for Season 2. What the f—k are you doing, ABC? It's sexy ER on a boat! It's The Pitt with sharks! It's got — and I'm not even going to try and beat their tagline on this — 'big deck energy.' How is ABC renewing shows called The Rookie and Will Trent — whose premise is apparently just, 'despite being dyslexic, he's become a Special Agent in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation' — but they haven't renewed the only show brave enough to answer the question, 'What if sick, but boat?' I shouldn't complain about the other shows. I shouldn't care that a show called and about a rookie is returning for its premise-defying eighth season, and I don't begrudge any audience members for sticking around to find out if their favorite characters will or won't Trent. All I'm saying is, ABC's The View has been on since 1997, and Doctor Hot Boat is still in limbo. You're a disgrace, ABC! Your network is a disaster!'
'Earlier this week, my parent company apparently said they cannot wait for my 'hot take' on this whole rebrand, believing that whatever I say about this change was going to be 'pretty hot,' so please look me in the eyes when I say this: F—k you! Don't tell me what to do! I'm not going to do it because you want it — unless, hold on! Maybe you thought baiting me like that would be a good way to stop me from doing it. But on the other hand, how could a company be that smart when they're the same people that came up with so many stupid f—king names?!'
'We all know the plan: Split up, force them to fight where we control the terrain.'
'Yeah, I just want to say that splitting up sounds a lot less safe than not splitting up.'
Moran (Taylor Anthony Miller) gets an unexpected taste of life out in the field
'Now, listen, I've gotta hit the tables and win tons of f—king money because I can count cards and s—t from those magic movies I was in, so enjoy the f—king episode. Vegas, baby!'
An inebriated Dave Franco brings this week's 'Previously on…' segment to a hilariously meta close
'You just got to go out there and read the teleprompter for, like, 20 seconds and then we're home free, OK?'
'No, we don't have to do that anymore because it doesn't matter.'
'It does very much matter!'
'No, it doesn't matter. We're skin sausages. No, it's OK, it's OK… we're skin sausages!'
Zoë Kravitz is off her rocker after accidentally overdoing it on Matt's (Seth Rogen) 'old school Hollywood buffet' (aka, drugs — lots and lots of drugs)

Deborah (Jean Smart) quits her late-night show after refusing to fire head writer Ava
'I had come into this game wanting to play a super physical game and I had these high hopes. We watched Maria, who is an old woman, almost break the female record…'
'Hey, hey, hey, hey!'
Chrissy Sarnowsky defends Season 46 queen Maria Shrime Gonzalez after finalist Eva Erickson absentmindedly takes a dig at her age

Paramount May Not Be Done With ‘Transformers' Movies Yet
After 2024's Transformers One came and went, it's been a question of whether we'd actually see the Autobots and Decepticons on the big screen. The answer now appears to be 'yes,' and not just because Paramount's still pretending that crossover with G.I. Joe is happening. According to Matt Belloni at Puck News, the studio is spinning up several Transformers movies. One is said to be helmed by One director Josh Cooley, and will be live-action. The other is said to be coming from ex-franchise steward Michael Bay, who's currently operating as a 'hands-on producer' but could potentially direct. Bay dipped out after 2017's The Last Knight and has maintained a producer credit on later films, but the franchise hasn't been hitting those same financial highs since his exit behind the camera. Meanwhile, Puck didn't have any information on the other three rumored Transformers projects, and the G.I. Joe crossover is said to have two separate ideas that are both in early stages. Either way, this isn't exactly a new position for the franchise: pre-Last Knight, there were said to be a lot of Transformers movies in the works, but plans for a cinematic universe were halted after Knight underperformed. In 2021, Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto was attached to direct a film, and Paramount's talked about doing a sequel to 2023's Rise of the Beasts. All Paramount reportedly has to do is have a Transformers movie in production by 2029 to maintain the rights to the IP. If it's got this many projects in the works, one of them should theoretically be ready by then. Will people be interested in them? That's another matter. Want more io9 news?

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Lorde, Alex Warren & ROSÉ, KATSEYE and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Lorde reinvents herself, Alex Warren brings ROSÉ into his sonic world, and KATSEYE continue a 'Gnarly' run of success. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard Adrian Quesada's Psychedelic Journey: How the Black Pumas Co-Founder Delved Into Latin America's Romantic Past LL Cool J Gives Fans an NYC Rap History Crash Course in 'Hip Hop Was Born Here' Trailer Teddy Swims Welcomes His First Child With Girlfriend Raiche Wright: 'We Love You Lil Man' Lorde, The promotional campaign for Lorde's long-awaited fourth album has involved tales of a bitter breakup and body dysmorphia, creeping feelings of stage fright and questions about her gender identity. Instead of retreating from the intimate pressure points and personal changes that have defined her mid-twenties, she poured them into a new album, and is now hoisting them up for the world to see. One listen to Lorde's Virgin confirms that it is by far the bravest album of her career. Read the full review of Lorde's new album. Alex Warren & ROSÉ, 'On My Mind' A No. 1 smash will often result in some interesting phone calls about potential collaborations, and after Alex Warren followed up his enormous hit 'Ordinary' with the Jelly Roll team-up 'Bloodline,' ROSÉ has now hopped on the latest single from his upcoming album You'll Be Alright, Kid, with the BLACKPINK star holding her own amidst the horns and kick drum on the somber, likable folk-pop sing-along. KATSEYE, More pop songs should sound as audacious as 'Gnarly,' KATSEYE's off-the-wall breakthrough single that leads off their new five-song EP — and while that hyperpop sledgehammer sets up a slightly more subdued project, the girl group scores with slinky pop harmonies ('Gameboy'), dance balladry ('Mean Girls') and a smart twist on the anthemic 'Gnarly' sound to close things out ('M.I.A'). Lizzo, Although Lizzo has released a handful of pop-leaning singles so far in 2025, My Face Hurts From Smiling features none of them — instead, the surprise mixtape is a full-throated foray into rap music, designed to let her have a blast on tracks alongside SZA and Doja Cat and further regain her mojo before a presumably more mainstream-focused new album. Don Toliver, 'FWU' Don Toliver's helium-coated voice joins forces with Mustard's hard-clapping production on 'FWU,' a new single that serves as Toliver's first solo single of the year and boosts his momentum without high stakes — 'FWU' rolls along ceaselessly and purposefully, meant to be played loud and more than twice. Various Artists, On the same day that the Brad Pitt racing drama zooms into theaters, the full F1 album is unveiled as the most star-studded soundtrack of the year, with previously released tracks by Don Toliver and Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Ed Sheeran and ROSÉ complemented by new offerings from Burna Boy, RAYE, Madison Beer and more — just be sure to save time for Peggy Gou's bright, shuffling 'D.A.N.C.E' in the back half. Barbra Streisand, Barbra Streisand's elegant sequel to her 2014 duets album Partners succeeds due to its smart guest list: while legends like Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and James Taylor swing by to sing and pay homage, the appearance of artists like Hozier and Laufey nicely shake up the sound, and the Babs-Mariah Carey-Ariana Grande summit 'One Heart, One Voice' lives up to its high-powered pedigree. Editor's Pick: Blood Orange, 'The Field' On the same day that a major new pop release that Dev Hyne contributed to, Lorde's Virgin, is unveiled, indie fans can be equally enthralled by the first song in three years from his Blood Orange project: 'The Field' — which melds the voices of Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar and others with Hynes' own — is hauntingly gorgeous, a hymn-like variation on Blood Orange's danceable pop-R&B that hopefully previews more to come from the studio master. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Millie Bobby Brown Shows Off Her Tan Lines in an Itty Bitty String Bikini
Millie Bobby Brown paired her newly-dyed brunette hair with the tiniest string bikini on Friday, June 27. The Stranger Things star showed off her visible tan lines in the barely-there cottagecore style. She also gave fans a glimpse of her behind-the-scenes filming of Enola Holmes Bobby Brown made a stylish case for cottagecore swimwear as she enjoyed a beach day on Friday, June 27. In addition to giving fans a glimpse at her newly-dyed brunette hair—a major departure from the bleach-blonde style she's been sporting in recent months—the Stranger Things actress stripped down to the tiniest string bikini in a nostalgic print. Brown served up vacation style inspo in the golden hour bikini shoot, which showed her modeling a barely-there two-piece paisley swimsuit by the water. Posing with her hands on her forehead, the sunkissed star ensured her bikini body and visible tan lines were front and center in a blue floral patterned suit with white lace trimming her triangle bikini cups and the low-cut waistband of her tiny string bikini bottoms. In addition to embroidered crochet detailing on her barely-there bikini top, Brown's swimsuit also featured green beading in the front paired with a large vintage-inspired bronze pendant dangling down her toned midriff. The Electric State actress added some extra shine for her beachside photoshoot with a silver pearl choker, gold hoop earrings, and a pair of tortoiseshell aviator sunglasses. Brown kept her beauty simple, showing off a bronzed complexion, flushed cheeks, and a rosy pout. Fresh off her recent return to her natural brown hair, the British star pulled her dark locks back into a sleek wet bun. It was a contrasting style to a Bridgerton-coded updo she shared in a separate Instagram post on Friday. Brown paired a green sleeveless crop top covered in tiny purple flowers with a matching low-rise skirt that put her stomach on full display in a carousel, which she mysteriously captioned, 'Case closed.' Alongside photos that appeared to be from the filming of her upcoming Netflix film Enola Holmes 3, Brown showed off a middle-parted curly bun with two braids creating a headband along her hairline.
