Vikings is a series that’s never been shy about killing off its characters, with a nearly Game of Thrones-level of nonchalance. This week was no exception, and while the fate of King Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Frimmel) has long been expected by fans of the History Channel’s first scripted series, there had always been the hope that the series writer Michael Hirst would give us more time.

Emma Stone, star of Superbad, Zombieland, Easy A, and the Amazing Spider-Man films is one the bright lights in Hollywood. She’s #26 on IMDb’s STARmeter (meaning she’s well within the A-list circle of hot actors). But even now, she still finds that directors still have a hard time being taken seriously with her ideas, and even […]

One might think that if there’s a sign alongside the road that says “Bridge Closed”, drivers might find another way to get where they’re going rather than to drive on through. When it comes to the warnings on films and television series, viewers are more apt to blow on past the warnings then complain that […]

It’s been 26 years since Twin Peaks first appeared to mess with our minds in a cultural touchstone series that arguably really wouldn’t have anything quite like it until Lost. Now we seem to be six months or less away from the new volume’s premiere on Showtime (the original series was on ABC). David Lynch and Mark Frost have both returned to write the new nine-volume season.

Zsa Zsa Gabor:  the name that you probably recognize but can’t put a face to until you google her, but then will say – oh, I remember her, has passed away at 99 from a heart attack at her home in Bel Air. For more than sixty years, she had appeared on television and film […]

CBS’s upcoming online-only Star Trek: Discovery series has just picked up at least one cast member from The Walking Dead. Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Sasha on AMC’s long-running zombie fest and amateur baseball league series, will be playing what’s described as the “lead role” in the 6th of the Star Trek series. Martin-Green will be playing a […]

As the season’s bloodbath of cancellation announcements keep on coming, WGN America’s supernatural (with equal parts drama and romance) series Salem will end after it’s current season.

Lionsgate has tapped Leverage and The Librarians’ creator John Rogers as showrunner and writer for their upcoming television arm of the high fantasy series The Kingkiller Chronicle. We had previously reported that Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda as the franchise’s creative producer and music developer. The series is going in a unique direction with Lionsgate simultaneously working […]

While a bit of a disappointment, the news should surprise exactly no one that Netflix has scuttled their historical drama series Marco Polo after just two seasons. Opening in 2014, it was the first Netflix series developed in the US for both domestic and international distribution. Created by John Fusco, the series is a grand-scale period […]

It took a while to get things moving in The Walking Dead, which has been par for the course thus far in season 8, but the episode Hearts Still Beating finally nudged things back into gear. It’s one of the better episodes this season (not that it’d be saying much), but sadly only one real zombie sequence to […]
