While I had expected that the whole “Jurassic” franchise had ended with “Jurassic World Dominion”, it turns out that the film was only actually the final film in the second trilogy of films. Now, a brand-new cast of players heads to parts unknown for some mysterious missions. Will they win out over potentially dangerous dinosaurs? Well, some of them might while others will end up being part of the dinner service. The first Official Trailer has dropped and is below for you to enjoy. There was also a lengthy plot summary to share and some casting but no other artwork just yet. Dig in.

Plot Summary: Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, Earth’s environment has largely proven inhospitable to dinosaurs. The surviving creatures now reside in remote, tropical locales, reminiscent of the environments where they once flourished. Zora Bennett, a covert operative, is recruited by a pharmaceutical company to collaborate with paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis and team leader Duncan Kincaid on a top-secret mission. Their objective is to infiltrate a forbidden island—once the site of the original research facility for Jurassic Park—and locate the three largest prehistoric species from land, sea, and air. The DNA of these creatures holds the key to a revolutionary drug capable of saving countless human lives. Along the way, the team encounters a civilian family, and both groups find themselves stranded. They discover that the island is home to mutated, failed dinosaur experiments that have thrived in isolation for decades. (c/o Wiki)

“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.”.

Greetings my fine readers of the PiercingMetal initiative and welcome back to the website once again as we steadily head towards the end of 2024. So if you’ve been following the site for a few years you were probably expecting or hoping for this article as its become a bit of a tradition by now as this post is the sixth go-round of the topic at hand. I’m talking about the absolutely legendary anthology series known as “The Twilight Zone”. The show first aired in 1959 and ran for five seasons with a total of 156 episodes that have remained as timeless and enthralling as they did some 65 years ago. Back in 2020, I decided to begin sharing the annual marathon that the folks over at the Syfy network do around this time. It’s a lengthy marathon that begins before and runs into the brand-new year and the Science Fiction and Mystery fans cannot get enough of it. Truth be told, back in 2020 it was better to be inside but I felt like continuing with this since its good Google traction and the show has remained one of my very favorites of all time. I’ve pointed out that many in my friendship circle don’t even go all out for New Year’s Eve anymore and I don’t mind that myself and would rather watch the ball drop on the television, field a few dozen text messages and then tune into some classic programming. This year’s marathon will begin in the early morning hours of the New Year’s Eve Day and run into the pre-dawn hours of January 2nd. All of the episodes appear to be from the original series with the exception of season #4 as no episodes appear to be from that one in the marathon. The marathon also seems to be a number of episodes shorter and runs for “113” as opposed to last year’s “142”. As a NYC resident that uses Spectrum as their cable provider, I culled the listings from their own Channel Guide and present it all down below for your consumption. If there are any last minute changes, don’t give me a hard time as once I cobbled together the post it went up online as is. You can send the network an email about it or complain on their social media channels. I still think that “113” episodes is a pretty beefy marathon so let’s take a look shall we?

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Having pointed out that I don’t like to speak on teasers I remain with the same stance. However, I did try to determine which “Imperial” this might be meaning. Could it be “X-Men” themed with the Imperial Guard or dare I assume something in the “Star Wars” universe and The Empire. Who knows. Truth be told I haven’t seen any other leaks or assumptions at the time of this posting but I never mind sharing teases like this for content sake. With PiercingMetal’s Comic Book features steadily aiming on reaching 1000 posts in the coming months the more things like this the merrier. Okay I am out of here. Though its still the eve of Christmas Eve, I wish you and yours a very “Merry Christmas” if this is your holiday. See you next time.
