Early on, lovesick Romeo attends a party to gaze upon the fair Rosaline-instead, he sees her cousin Juliet Capulet, and the rest is tragic-romance history. In the original play, Rosaline is a young woman with whom Romeo Montague is infatuated and who apparently doesn’t share his feelings. At least, that what the end credits say viewers may be hard-pressed to recognize much of the book onscreen. It, too, is based on a book: Rebecca Serle’s 2012 YA novel, When You Were Mine. The new movie Rosaline, premiering Oct.14 on Hulu, takes a similar tack with its main character-a minor, offstage player in Romeo and Juliet whose story is presented as a rom-com.

Gate pops up in the general region of earth, aliens fly through and gave a brief humorous description of what the gate exactly provided: namely, the ability for anyone who could pay (aggressor/trader made no difference to it) a trip through.
