Arrow Season 3, Episode 14 Watch: DCU Connections And Easter Eggs
Since he proved such a formidable and entertaining adversary for Season 2, Arrow fans have been waiting for “The Return” of Slade Wilson for some time.

Game Of Thrones Actor Shares A Big Update About Lady Stoneheart
This article contains spoilers for those who haven't read George R.R. Martin's 'A Storm of Swords,' the third novel in 'A Song of Ice and Fire.' But, since it looks like the event and/or character in question may never appear in Game of Thrones, reading this recent piece of news might not actually 'spoil' anything. Or maybe, you simply don't care and just want to see what all the fuss was about… → Read More
How I Met Your Mother's Finale Had A Perfect Ending... For Season 4
My first reaction after reading about the How I Met Your Mother finale was that I thought it made a lot of sense. Not all of it mind you but the central conceit that found Ted, with blue french horn in hand, back at Robin's doorstep rang true. The problem with that? I haven't watched the comedy since somewhere in the middle of Season 4. → Read More
Would True Detective Have Been Better Suited For The Binge Model?
Would the reaction to True Detective have been different were audiences given it all in one batch? The way that we consume media is changing, therefore we should also be considering the effects, if any, the emerging model has on spectatorship. And I’m willing to bet that the mostly positive reaction to the HBO anthology series would be even more glowing had the drama been distributed via the… → Read More
True Detective Review: One Hell Of A Hard Boiled Mystery
Do we really need another series based on a serial killer on TV? Isn't it overkill? Some have gone so far as to call the recent string of dramas that explore said subject a rash but that would imply that the murder mystery wasn't a popular genre well before the medium was invented not to mention that those that have popped up are, well, bad. On the contrary, the 'rash' has included several… → Read More
Arrow DCU Tie-Ins And Easter Eggs: Season 2, Episode 8
After putting Count Vertigo down for good in "State v. Queen," Arrow took a week off to prepare for the arrival of another, probably even more popular, DC superhero. And even though Barry Allen hasn't become the Flash just yet, his arrival still marked the first time that superpowers appeared on The CW series. How did the special abilities fit into the gritty, realistic Starling City that the… → Read More
Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe Could Return To TV At ABC
One of literature's most famous hard-boiled private investigators might be coming back to television. It's only been half a dozen years since the last time ABC tried to bring Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe to the small screen but that's not stopping the network from trying again, this time with Castle creator Andrew Marlowe (no relation) behind the prospective project. → Read More
Watch Game Of Thrones' Charles Dance Read Fifty Shades Of Grey
Fans of Game of Thrones probably know and are terrified by Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister from the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's saga but there is another side to the often terrifying actor. When Dance isn't too busy playing evil, he occasionally uses his talents for comedic turns and his dramatic readings on a few of this year's Big Fat Quizzes have been incredible. Here's his… → Read More
Arrow Watch: Series Premiere
After their super run with Smallville, The CW has gone back to the DC Comics well for a new action-adventure series called Arrow. And just like its predecessor's 'no tights, no flights' policy, Arrow seems to have adopted its own motto in WWTDKD? That's 'What Would The Dark Knight Do?' for those who hadn't already guessed. Christopher Nolan's gritty and realistic approach to adapting comic books… → Read More
Mad Men Rickroll Re-Edit Has Cast Voicing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up
Oh, the 'Rickroll.' Rick Astley's re-emergence onto the cultural landscape was all thanks to people on the internet being stupid. Stupid in the great way that only the internet can be and on occasion, the simple 'bait and switches' can inspire memes of high quality craftsmanship. For example, re-cutting countless episodes of AMC's Mad Men in order to perfectly sync up the stars of the hit 60s… → Read More
