Mythic Quest's Updated Finale Changes Ian and Poppy's Polarizing Ending — Which Version Is Better?
In the original finale (which is, of course, now the de facto series finale), Ian convinces a pregnant Poppy to reverse her decision to stay at MQ, telling her that if there's even the slightest chance that things could work out with her boyfriend in the Netherlands, she should go and pursue it. Poppy gets on the plane, but shows up at the office after getting an alert that Ian was attempting to log back into the system. Poppy and Ian both admit to each other that the Elysium expansion is far more important than they previously let on. They embrace, Ian kisses her and they make out for a few moments before pulling away with horrified looks on their faces. Just as Poppy is about to speak, the credits roll.

Things are mostly the same in that final scene between Poppy and Ian, except after they hug it out, they separate with Poppy saying that she's going to write down all of Ian's passwords for him. They switch desks (since hers was all packed up and empty), while Ian cracks a joke about how Pop had sex one time and got pregnant. And their jovial back and forth bantering shall continue indefinitely inside the walls of Mythic Quest! No kiss. No awkward romantic chemistry. (Plus, there's a fantastic needle drop — Starship's 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.')

The acclaimed director, 71, earned an acting nomination for the 2025 Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series category for his role in Apple TV+'s satirical comedy series The Studio. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the three-time Emmy winner revealed his reaction to learning he had landed his first nod for acting. 'I play an a------ version of myself,' Howard says. 'Apparently, it went over. I have many noms and even some wins on the producing and directing side, but first nom as an actor, which is kind of funny.' 'I'm getting a kick out of it,' he adds of his 14th Primetime Emmys nod. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Howard has won three of his previous 13 nominations for Jim Henson Idea Man in 2024 (Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program), Arrested Development in 2004 (Outstanding Comedy Series) and From The Earth to the Moon in 1998 (Outstanding Miniseries).

The series' logline reads, 'As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films.' 'With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe,' the logline continues. In episode 3, which came out in April, Howard's character cries when Rogen's studio head character gives him a difficult piece of feedback, resulting in Howard angrily throwing his signature baseball cap at him.

Backstreet Boy claims 'American Dream' is under attack as he battles sheriff over beach trespassers
Brian Littrell just wants the alleged trespassers on his beach to quit playing games. "This is the American dream," the Backstreet Boys singer told Fox News Digital this week. "Like I've worked for three decades, longer than three decades, in the music business to have some sort of honesty and transparency in my music. You know, music is an emotion that brings all kinds of walks of life together for happiness and joy. And so I think I could walk out on the beach and, you know, people would be like, 'Hey, man, it's nice to meet you,' but just keep it moving, like just keep walking, because that beach access doesn't entitle you to a public beach." The 50-year-old recently sued the Walton County Sheriff's Office in Florida for a writ of mandamus, claiming officials aren't doing their part to help keep trespassers off of his private beach. "It's very frustrating, and this has been a humbling experience, I have to say, because [we're] not getting any help, it's not getting anywhere," Littrell admitted. "Hopefully, we'll get some sort of resolve or some sort of communication that will come out of this that will basically draw the line in the sand, no pun intended, where, 'Hey, just keep it moving. This is private.' We don't want any qualms." He added, "So, we're about the truth and the law. It's just that simple." Littrell said that he now fears for his safety in his backyard at the beach home where he's lived for three years. "The frustrating thing is that we're not getting any help, you know, we're not getting any law enforcement down there … and we know the law, because we're taxpayers," he said. "It shouldn't be that difficult." The tipping point for him was a couple of weeks ago. "My wife called 911 three times and nobody showed. Nobody showed at all. We had trespassers on our property. They were filming. They were using our stuff and our equipment, and our beach stuff, and, no, she's not gonna walk out there by herself. And the third time she called 911, the dispatch lady hung up on her. So this is a heartfelt plea for all property owners that you have rights. You know, we have rights just like everybody else." WATCH: BACKSTREET BOYS' BRIAN LITTRELL CLAIMS 'AMERICAN DREAM' IS UNDER ATTACK AS HE BATTLES SHERIFF OVER BEACH TRESPASSERS "So, this is a heartfelt plea for all property owners that you have rights. You know, we have rights just like everybody else." He said the police are trying to protect the public, "but they forget that we are part of the public, too, because we are beachfront owners. So, there just has to be a line in the sand, no pun intended. There has to some sort of line where we have boundaries." The Walton County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital it doesn't "comment on pending litigation," adding it "prides itself on handling every situation, call for service, or interaction with professionalism using a customer service approach. This has always been our philosophy and will continue to be moving forward." Peter Ticktin, Littrell's lawyer, told Fox News Digital that they had already won a lawsuit to prove that Brian owned the beach behind his house, but "They're still coming, they're still there, because they have a purpose in mind." Ticktin claimed the alleged trespassers believe that someone who works hard shouldn't necessarily have the right to have their own private beach. "The fact is that if you've got talent, and you work really, really hard, you get to be someplace in this world where you can afford to buy a piece of property, and it's yours," he said. "That's the American dream. And to have these people invade his backyard and then to have the sheriffs come and talk to them and tell them they can stay there only encourages them to do more and more wrong, to the point where they actually are assaulting the security people that had to be hired to be able to protect the property." He added, "They hate entitlement, but they're the ones that are seemingly claiming an entitlement to not only be where they don't belong, but to assault people in the process." Littrell said his American Dream was to own a little beach home "that we could go and enjoy and watch the sunset and take pictures and live out memories." He continued, "I'm in my 50s now … I mean, come on. Like, I want to start slowing down a little bit and I want to start enjoying life and I don't want to make the news for this kind of stuff. It's just, it's kind of frustrating. I want to make news about positive music that's changing the world, because we're still at it. We're still doing great, and that's a blessing. And it's like, just because I work hard for it, it's not entitled to everybody else." Littrell said he had no intention to sell the house. "We have a tiny little piece of paradise that we literally prayed for. I mean, we seriously prayed for a place like this for almost 30 years," he said, adding, "The beach makes you feel small. So, you know, it's a great place to write songs, too. And you feel smaller than life when you go to the beach. You don't feel larger than life. You feel smaller than life. You know, I don't wanna be chased out of an area that I love."
