New Westworld Images Heighten Excitement for HBO’s Sci-Fi Thriller

When HBO finally released the teaser trailer for their sci-fi thriller Westworld, we were both excited and relieved. Once the cast was announced, expectations for the show, already pretty massive considering the involvement of J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan (he wrote the Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar), skyrocketed. Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson,

American Horror Story Drops 2 Delightfully Creepy, Confusing Teasers for Season 6

There are so many reasons to love Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story. The first and main reason, for us, anyway, is that for five seasons now the show has been relentlessly weird. How weird? Even the show’s promos are a head trip, which is in evidence with these two spots for the upcoming season six.

Murphy and Falchuk have been known to play with fans expectations and use the promos to throw us all off the scent.

Is Daryl Dead? First Clip From The Walking Dead Season 7 Teases his Fate

The Walking Dead has had its share of controversy during it's six massively successful seasons. There's been the unusually high showrunner turnover, including creator Frank Darabont and Glen Mazzara. And that's just some of the behind-the-scenes stuff. In fact, perhaps no scene has drawn more scrutiny than last season's finale shot, which ended on a brutal cliffhanger—who, exactly, did the sociopath Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan ) kill with his spiked bat?

Here’s a Sneak Peek at the Lethal Weapon TV Series

Lethal Weapon essentially invented the insane buddy copy dramedy in 1987. Richard Donner's film, off Shane Black's script, was an absurdly appealing bit of high octane mischief, smashing the loose cannon (Mel Gibson's Martin Riggs) into the by-the-book, aging cop Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) in what appeared to be an 'anything goes' bit of cinematic mayhem, but what was actually a formula invented and perfected on the first go.

Needless to say,

Game of Thrones Gets Involved (Sort of) in our Wild Election

As we wrote yesterday, HBO made it official that Game of Thrones will end after season eight. On top of that, with season seven production delays, we won't be getting any new GoT episodes until the summer of 2017.

This hasn't stopped HBO from using their hugely popular series to have a little fun with our hugely crazy presidential election. GoT has always been something of a political show—with giants,

Now that we're officially in the home stretch for Game of Thrones, with creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff stating there are only 15 more episodes left, tops, it's actually becoming just a little bit easier to speculate on where the show is headed. The chessboard was massively realigned in the final episode, with a ton of pieces swept right off the board thanks to Cersei's trick with the wild fire beneath the Sept of Baelor.

Game of Thrones Recap: “The Winds of Winter”

Game of Thrones has had it’s fair share of sadists (Ramsay, Joffery), murderers, rapists and undead killers, but after the season six finale, it now has its Queen of Overkill. Once again, Cersei Lannister has extracted revenge on her enemies in a move that begs the question; does she ever think about collateral damage, not just to her unintended victims (if there is such a thing for her), but the damage she might be doing to herself?

Game of Thrones Finale Teaser Hints at Major Reckoning

As has been the case since the first season, Game of Thrones delivered the goods in it's ninth episode, "Battle of the Bastards." The focus in this hugely ambitious hour of television was on two storylines only; the titular battle between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton, and the battle in Meereen between Dany and her forces and the Sons of the Harpy and the slavers. This meant no time spent with the Hound or the Lannisters,
