Pioneer Spirit of Discovery Flourishes in Destination: Scientology, Sacramento
LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Scientology Network's DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, the weekly travelogue series that takes viewers inside Scientology Churches all around the world and discovers what makes each one unique, presents an episode featuring Sacramento, California.
DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
ABOUT DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, SACRAMENTO
Sacramento, capital of the Golden State, first became a destination for fortune seekers during the 1849 Gold Rush. From those early days, the city has evolved into a hub of agriculture, government, and more recently, a fast-growing tech sector. Just blocks from the State Capitol, the Church of Scientology Sacramento stands as the largest surviving example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in the city. Meticulously restored, it serves as a testament to Sacramento's rich past.
In this episode, viewers will visit Sutter's Fort to explore Sacramento's Gold Rush legacy, learn how the city helped lead the farm-to-fork movement, and experience its deep passion for sports. It also highlights how the Church makes a lasting impact across the region through humanitarian campaigns, including the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, which played a key role in passing the Foster Kids Bill of Rights. As a cornerstone of the community, the Church plays a vital role in Sacramento's ongoing legacy—a legacy shaped by the pioneers of 1849 and the pioneering spirit that continues to drive the city today.
Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018, launched by David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center and ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion. Since then, Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization and presenting its Social Betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide.

Calculating How Many Players ‘Destiny 2: The Edge Of Fate' Will Launch With, Per Math
Destiny 2: Edge of Fate Destiny 2 is entering a much different new era in a month, one which will launch the next few years of the game. It's switching from an annual expansion and four seasons to two smaller expansions and four 'major updates' that are not seasons, and the entire project is called 'Frontiers.' Its first expansion is The Edge of Fate, which will be out on July 15, just under a month from now. One open question is just how many players Edge of Fate will launch with, namely, who will have stuck around since the launch of Destiny 2's The Final Shape a year ago, given the context of how the game will work now. I think we can use math to at least get a pretty good estimate of this, given the difference between the pre-expansion lows of the playerbase and then what they spiked to at actual launch. We will, of course, have to use Steam for this, as we don't have data elsewhere. We only have from Beyond Light forward for Steam, so no Forsaken or Shadowkeep. Pre-Beyond Light Month (Oct 2020) – 94,000 concurrents Beyond Light (Nov 2020) – 242,000 concurrents Increase – 2.57x Pre-Witch Queen Month (Jan 2022) – 78,000 concurrents FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Witch Queen (Feb 2022) – 290,000 concurrents Increase – 3.71x Pre-Lightfall Month (Jan 2023) – 96,000 concurrents Lightfall (Feb 2023) – 316,000 concurrents Increase – 3.29x Pre-Final Shape Month (May 2024) – 116,000 concurrents The Final Shape (June 2024) – 314,000 concurrents Increase – 2.7x increase Destiny 2 So, what I'll do here is average the increases together, which would be a 3.01x increase Then, we take the current playercount figures for this month, the month before Edge of Fate release: 38,000 3.01 x 38,000 = a potential 114,000 peak. That would be below half of Beyond Light and Witch Queen and close to a third of Lightfall and Final Shape. I also think you might be able to say that this could be an over-estimate if the idea is that in the post-Light and Darkness era, a brand new, lower-profile, smaller-scale expansion may prove less attractive. I'm not trying to dunk on the game here, but I do think we have to be realistic about the new normal for Destiny 2 going forward. I've avoided reporting on the 'record lows' the game has hit almost every month since The Final Shape, but now reality is approaching as we try to see what level of surge we're getting for these smaller expansions. Then, of course, we'd have to see how the second expansion did six months later, the Star Wars-themed Renegades. The way this works out on the revenue side is if the cost of making less content with fewer employees works with the new lower, average playercount in a way that doesn't put the game deeply in the red. This is not a short-term experiment, this is the plan for a few more years at least with no Destiny 3 on the horizon. It will have to work at least to some degree, as at this point, I don't think it's a safe bet that Bungie can rely on the upcoming Marathon to be the huge boost the studio needs (we've talked that to death at this point). Maybe Edge of Fate will prove surprising, but it's a smaller expansion, offering less content, outside the long-term Light and Darkness saga. Expectations will have to be adjusted accordingly. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

ANDOR Fans Say the Show Reframes a Major Cassian and Jyn Moment in ROGUE ONE — GeekTyrant
'Andor has truly increased the depth and meaning of anything it touches.' That's how Star Wars fans are describing the emotional ripple effect Andor has had across the galaxy, especially when it comes to one key moment in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . Rewatching the film after Andor Season 2 has been a revelation for many, casting old scenes in a new, much heavier light. Specifically, fans are pointing to the moment when Jyn Erso confronts Cassian Andor aboard the stolen Imperial ship after escaping Eadu. It's the heat of the moment, her father Galen has just died in her arms, and she's furious to learn Cassian was sent to assassinate him. But now, through the lens of Andor, this clash hits differently. One fan posted on Reddit: 'Rewatching Rogue One for the first time since finishing Andor S2. The scene where they escape Eadu in the stolen Imperial ship and Jyn confronts Cassian about her father's death reads so differently to me with the context of the show. Before I thought Cassian was in the wrong, and his indignation at Jyn's accusations further proved that. 'But now it feels like Jyn is naive, and Cassian has just gone through the most intense few days of his years as a rebel, and he's had it. Both of them partially right and both of them a bit wrong. But Cassian in particular has sacrificed too much at this point to be lectured, not when the stakes are this big and so close. Anyway, I love that it feels like Andor has truly increased the depth and meaning of anything it touches.' That shift in perspective seems to be widely shared. Another fan chimed in: 'I had a similar reaction rewatching Rogue One after Andor. His speech helped me see how our experiences shape the way we feel moments. 'That's what made Cassian so mysterious at first watch I'm thinking —what had he lost, what weight was he carrying? At first, it seemed like Jyn had the darkest past, but Andor shows that the Empire takes from everyone.' That's been one of the coolest things about Andor , its ability to shade in the corners of the rebellion and give emotional weight to the political. The same Reddit thread also points out how both Jyn and Cassian share similar trajectories, despite coming from different worlds. 'Jyn basically goes through a condensed character arc that's the same as Cassian—aka wanting to avoid the rebellion before realizing they have no choice but to fight.' Another agreed: 'This right here is one of my favorite parts of RO and Andor. That Jyn and Cassian have been through a similar journey. It makes RO even better for me.' Andor hasn't just deepened Cassian's story, it's retroactively elevated Rogue One. The choices, the trauma, the urgency, all of it carries a sharper edge now that fans know what came before. All episodes of Andor Season 2 are now streaming on Disney+. So if you haven't already… it might be time for a Rogue One rewatch. Just don't be surprised if it hits you a little harder this time.

James Gunn Defends Matt Reeves Amid THE BATMAN: PART II Delays: 'People Should Get Off Matt's Nuts" — GeekTyrant
James Gunn isn't here for your impatience and he's making that clear when it comes to The Batman: Part II . With the sequel's release date pushed to 2027 and some fans getting antsy, Gunn is stepping in to remind everyone that storytelling takes time, especially when the person behind it is someone as meticulous and committed as Matt Reeves. Originally slated for 2025, The Batman: Part II has seen multiple delays, now targeting an October 1, 2027 release. But according to Gunn, there's a very simple reason behind the wait. He previously said: 'The only reason for the delay is there isn't a full script (those of you who follow me here probably know that already). Matt's committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write. 'Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films.' Gunn recently told Entertainment Weekly that a script draft is expected soon. 'I hope that happens. We feel really good about it. Matt's excited. I talk to Matt all the time. I'm totally excited about it. So we can't wait to read the scripts, but we haven't read it yet.' Reeves is teaming up with Mattson Tomlin again for the screenplay. While that's been happening, Reeves hasn't exactly been idle. He's been overseeing HBO's The Penguin , co-producing the upcoming animated series Batman: Caped Crusader , and is involved with the horror-themed Clayface movie being developed for Gunn's DC Universe. Still, the online pressure to hurry things along hasn't gone unnoticed by Gunn, who didn't hold back. 'People should get off Matt's nuts because it's like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That's just the way it is. He doesn't owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.' Gunn also added that Reeves doesn't pay much attention to social media chatter, but the criticism has gotten under his skin. 'He's got a lot of other things happening, so I don't think he lets it affect him. He's fine. But I am irritated by people.' And then came the mic-drop moment: 'It's just that thing people don't need to be entitled about. It's going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt's not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay.' Reeves himself acknowledged back in January that Batman: Part II is 'taking longer than I would have wanted,' but also said, 'I'm super excited about what we're doing, so I really can't wait to share that with everybody.' He also confirmed he's interested in more spin-offs once the sequel is underway: 'The big priority is to get The Batman 2 shooting and going. And then it'll be exciting where we'll go from there.' With Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, and Jeffrey Wright all expected to return, The Batman: Part II is shaping up to be worth the wait… if fans can keep their cool.
