Stealing the show is what Scene Stealers 2021 is about. Coming in at #22 is Danielle Poole, portrayed by Krys Marshall, from ‘For All Mankind.’ She becomes the first Black American to command a NASA mission. inverse.com/entertainment/…
‘For All Mankind’ is a must-see Apple TV+ series that reminds us alternate history speculation isn’t about the limp reimagining of the past. It’s having something critical to say about our present – and what we aspire to in a space-faring future. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image
Sci-fi is a balm on cultural ills. With Poole, 'For All Mankind' subsumes Star Trek to be more in touch with progressive ideals than the source it's paying homage to and creates a counter-mythology to our predominantly white history of spaceflight. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image
“I didn’t realize that, to this day, there had only been three Black women who had been into space,” Krys Marshall told Blacktree TV in May. “That aspect of our show is encouraging. But it also breaks my heart because the world is not like that.” inverse.com/entertainment/… Image
Danielle Poole is not the main character of 'For All Mankind,' but that could — and should — change after Season 3. Poole's homage to her favorite television show carries weight from here to the final frontier. Progress is a process. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image
That Danielle Poole oversaw such a critical mission wasn’t just one step for women, people of color, and people everywhere. It was a giant leap. Find out why in the article below: inverse.com/entertainment/…

In a first for humanity, a manmade spacecraft has kissed the Sun. inverse.com/science/we-tou…
“Not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun’s evolution and its impacts on our Solar System, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the universe." inverse.com/science/we-tou… Image

TV's funniest angry dad of 2021 reveals a dark truth about masculinity in Scene Stealer #21. Mike Melsky is portrayed by @conner_omalley in 'Joe Pera Talks With You.' He's captivating and frenzied and way over the top. He's chaotic. You can't look away. inverse.com/entertainment/…
O’Malley’s comedic style informs the energy of Mike Melsky, a force for chaos in the show’s first two seasons. Difficult to witness Mike Melsky, he still commands a repulsive sense of awe. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image
In a show dominated by a character with mannerisms from another era, Mike is the one most tapped into our zeitgeist of fragile, angry wounded-animal masculinity. When Mike is on the screen, it becomes his show anyway for however long it lasts. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image

A gigantic gas planet was discovered in a double star system 325 light-years away that challenges scientists’ ideas about how planets form. inverse.com/science/b-cent…
Markus Jonson and his team used the SPHERE exoplanet imager on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope to survey the star system. The two stars should be too big and hot to have a giant planet. inverse.com/science/b-cent…
Officially dubbed b Cen (AB)b, the planet is 11 times the mass of Jupiter, and its orbit is 100 times more expensive than Jupiter’s. There are very few Solar System objects that orbit that far from the Sun. inverse.com/science/b-cent…

Scene Stealers is about unforgettable side characters, and scene stealer #28 is Laura Birn's artificially intelligent Eto Demerzel from @Foundation_. She is robotic, but gains something resembling humanity mixing with her programming as the show goes on. inverse.com/entertainment/…
Birn portrays an otherworldly alien quality. She starts cold with delicate actions that grow and reveal Demerzel’s inner strength and dreams that captivate the audience. inverse.com/entertainment/…
Viewers are drawn in by the hidden depths of Demerzel. Her portrayal as a machine with human features leaves us with more questions than answers. What makes us human? inverse.com/entertainment/…

Scene Stealer #29 comes in from Apple TV+. Toad (@MisterHoonLee) steps up to fulfil his duty while slaying foes and teaching Kofun. ‘Now, do me a favor. Go kill someone.’ inverse.com/entertainment/…
In post-apocalyptic fantasy sci-fi ‘See,’ Toad, played by @MisterHoonLee, is a ‘Witchfinder’ who's blind and believes sight is evil, but follows a code that dictates Kofun, portrayed by @archmadekwefans, must be protected despite his ability to see. inverse.com/entertainment/…
Lee attacks the role with gusto. Toad is a no-nonsense soldier, fearsome combatant, and a blind man capable of cutting down enemies like buttered toast. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image

Joe Collie from Netflix horror ‘Midnight Mass’ is Scene Stealer #30. After a huge mistake, Joe aimed to change, only to fall short. ‘Here’s to becoming different people.’ inverse.com/entertainment/…
Joe Collie’s culmination comes from a confrontation with Leeza built up from a significant moment before the show starts. She unleashed on him, leaving him speechless and acting masterfully. inverse.com/entertainment/… Image
Joe Collie is an openly wounded man who does not cope well with life. His rage and drunkenness are always out in the open for the town and audience. inverse.com/entertainment/…
