The biggest character reveal in season 3 of Walking Dead is the sword wielding Michonne. She’s the cold, calculated warrior who shows up with two walkers chained to her hip — as protection. This is both insanely fucked up and totally awesome. So we asked Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne, to explain her character’s extreme…

Star Trek: The Next Generation is brand new all over again

These days, Star Trek: The Next Generation often feels like an old, fuzzy pair of socks: comfortable and well-worn. The first Star Trek spinoff show appears in syndication at all hours, looking a bit washed out and just as dated as the Original Series. It’s hard to believe it was viewed as a radical, even…

True Blood gets high and does Vampire Karaoke, but with naked ladies and blood

What the hell was that? No, really — what the heck is going on with True Blood? After half the cast got high and started giving each other piggyback rides, I had to just throw my hands in the air and say “Fuck it!” Put the werewolf in board shorts for some barnyard calisthenics —…

Viacom Gives All Its Channels Back to DirecTV

DirecTV and Viacom were in something of a spat, unable to reach a broadcast agreement. This resulted in channels such as MTV and Comedy Central disappearing from DirecTV’s satellite beam. However, the two companies worked things out with a long term agreement, and all is well again. http://gizmodo.com/5925379/fee-dispute-with-directv-leads-viacom-to-pull-popular-shows-off-the-web?tag=directv But here’s the weird thing: Viacom says…

How crazy will Superman’s powers be in Man of Steel, and which aliens will appear in Thor 2?

The Wolverine finds a new villain. Skyfall goes retro. The Amazing Spider-Man sequel might need a new director. A Terminator star joins Lost Girl. The Kick-Ass 2 villain is the craziest thing ever… except maybe the planned Jumanji reboot. It’s spoilers all the way down! Top image from, for the very last time, The Dark…

Watch Mr. Wizard act like a dick to dozens of children

If this supercut is to be believed, Don Herbert — TV scientist and educational programming host of Watch Mr. Wizard and Mr. Wizard’s World — might not have been that good with children. Check out Diane Bullock and Mike Schuster’s hilariously out-of-context clip show of Herbert hectoring his tiny co-hosts. Be sure to stick around…

We talk with the minds behind Adventure Time about the sunshiny post-apocalypse

The show — which is currently airing its fourth season — lured throngs of…

Once Upon A Time Season 2 trailer reveals a new big bad!

The first-ever teaser trailer for the wonky fairy tale series Once Upon A Time has appeared. And oh holy-stripper-heeled-fairy-dust, it’s even more deliciously cheesy than we expected. Check out the brand new Disney villain who’s stopping by this year. I’m taking guesses on which fairy tale character will be playing Henry’s Father, but my money…
