Does the new Game of Thrones Teaser Hint at Jon Snow’s Return?
(If you're not caught up on GOT's season five, spoiler alert). Few television shows in history have maybe killed off a main character and received this much scrutiny, doubt, rumor mongering and obsession.

Establishing itself as a gritty and faithful Marvel outlet with last year’s dark retelling of Daredevil, Netflix is now trying their hand with Jessica Jones, an original series based on Brian Michael Bendis’ comic series, Alias.

Stephen Colbert Debuts Candy Crush the Movie, Starring Liam Neeson
The game "Candy Crush" has been in the news quite a bit lately. The company that makes it, King, was recently sold for $5.9 billion to Activision Blizzard. During last night's Republican Presidential debate, Florida senator Marco Rubio used the game to explain how much faster technology is adapted into our society now: "It took the telephone 75 years to reach 100 million users.

Around the Web: Ash vs. Evil Dead, The Force Awakens Chronology & More
The gang at iO9 is very bullish on Starz’s Ash vs. The Evil Dead, and we can see why.

In 25 seconds, the new teaser packs a lot of funny into a small package—the package in this case being Hannah's body, as she dances 'as if no one's watching' in a class that includes at least one person she knows very well.
Girls returns for season five on February 21, and Dunham has said that the series will likely end after the sixth season.
Stephen Colbert Accurately Predicts Entire Plot of Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Okay, he doesn't, but that doesn't stop this Star Wars superfan (and close personal friend to director J.J. Abrams…despite "not knowing what J.J. stands for") from speculating on the entire plot of The Force Awakens after watching the final trailer.
The funny thing (well, one of the funny things) is how demonstrably not insane this is. Colbert is a legitimate Star Wars
Watch the Worst Take-Out Order of all Time in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In tonight's episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) is marooned on an alien planet, but unlike Mark Watney (Matt Damon) in The Martian, Simmons can't grow her food, she's got to kill it.
In season two, Simmons was sucked into the Kree monolith after agreeing to go on a date with Fitz (Iain De Caestecker),
What if Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Was Voiced by Brooklynites?
Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, you now have an answer to this question. Kimmel was filming Jimmy Kimmel Live in Brooklyn all last week, and he decided to ask his local crew to record their voices over the actors in the Stars Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. The result? Hilarious. From the opening voiceover, "Hey what's up, how's everything?" playing over the masked face of Rey (Daisy Ridley),
Showrunners From Power, Veep, Louie & More at NYTF’s Creative Keynote Panel
Last night at the New York Television Festival creative keynote panel "Running the Show: A Big Picture Conversation on Creating for the Small Screen," Power showrunner Courtney Kemp Agboh expressed her frustration with gender politics in the entertainment industry.

Check out This Awesome Animated X-Files Teaser
Mulder, Scully, the Smoking Man—they're all here in this very cool animated teaser for The X-Files six-episode event series. The spot aired during last night's episode of Gotham, and it brilliantly teases the two-night season premiere by rendering in beautifully stylized animation a lot of what we loved about the original show. (If you're interested in why they chose this specific color palette for the animation,
Benedict Cumberbatch is Back as Sherlock in 19th Century Special
Dr. Holmes (Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) are back at 221B Baker Street, only they’ve given up their contemporary garb and technology’s trappings in the special, Victorian-era Sherlock. Our favorite obsessive sleuth and his indefatigable partner are now plying their trade in the 19th century, which is interesting considering it’s the era when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was living in when he wrote Holmes and Watson into existence. Everything’s different (especially Watson’s facial hair),
Everything That Happened Last Season on The Walking Dead in 3 Minutes
AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead, a riveting look at a few families in Los Angeles just as the world's becoming aware of the horror to come, recently ended it's first season.

HBO’s New Vinyl Trailer is Fast, Dirty, and Smashes You Over the Head
Back in September we interviewed Boardwalk Empire’s production designer Bill Groom, who was nominated for his fourth Emmy in a row for Terrence Winter’s prohibition era gangland drama.

The Opening Title Sequence of American Horror Story: Hotel is Biblical
The premiere of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s spine-chilling fifth season of the horror anthology American Horror Story is less than a week away. The newly released opening title sequence for AHS: Hotel is about as creepy as it gets. If you are someone like me, who does not deal well with horror movies and scary TV shows, you should watch between your fingers and then find a puppy to cuddle.
Don’t Get Into a Bar Fight With Jessica Jones
With Jessica Jones release date of November 20 creeping up, Netflix and Marvel Entertainment have released another teaser for their upcoming series, which features Krysten Ritter in the title role.
