FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Trey Callaway, co-creator

Mercy Point is an American science fiction medical drama that aired for seven
episodes on UPN in 1998 and 1999. It was adapted from a film screenplay by Trey
Callaway (pictured); production on the film project had ended due to the poor
commercial performance of the 1997 film Starship Troopers. Starring Joe Morton,
Maria del Mar, Alexandra Wilson, Brian McNamara, Salli Richardson, Jordan Lund,
and Joe Spano, the series focuses on the doctors and nurses in a 23rd-century
hospital space station. It was filmed in Vancouver, Canada. Storylines initially
focused on ethical and medical cases, but later shifted to the characters'
personal relationships, to better fit UPN's primarily teen demographic. The show
suffered from low ratings, and has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray. Some
commentators praised the show's characterization and use of science fiction
elements, while others found it to be uninteresting and unoriginal.

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

The GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Video Game is an annual award that honors
excellence in the depiction of LGBT characters and themes in video games. It is
one of several categories of the annual GLAAD Media Awards, presented by GLAAD
at ceremonies held in New York City and Los Angeles between March and May. The
award was introduced at the 30th GLAAD Media Awards in 2019 and given to The
Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset (developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and
published by Bethesda Softworks). The 32nd ceremony in 2021 marks the only time
a tie has occurred, with The Last of Us Part II (developed by Naughty Dog and
published by Sony Interactive Entertainment) and Tell Me Why (developed by
Dontnod Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios) both winning the
award. The award has received some criticism for its emphasis on Triple-A video
games, and that many of the games nominated contained minimal levels of
LGBT-inclusive content and representation. Since its inception, the award has
been given to six video games, most recently Apex Legends (developed by Respawn
Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts) at the 34th GLAAD Media Awards
in 2023. (Full list...)
