Is Supernatural finally turning into the X-Files?

On last night’s episode of Supernatural, “Adventures in Babysitting,” the show seemed to plunge into full X-Files mode.

But it was also because we’re starting to…

Would you let your children watch a show that featured these horrifying creatures?

Could this be the most horrific concept art ever created for a kiddie show? Artist Eric Canete developed these nightmarish visions for a new revival of the Cartoon Network series Ben 10, but he tweeted that they’ll probably never be used “because it’ll scare your childrens.” No freaking kidding.

Even stuck in a shoebox with a miniature woman, Nathan from Misfits has zero game

Last week, the BBC aired a special TV movie version of The Borrowers, which featured some lovely performances. Christopher Eccleston was brilliant as Arietty’s father Pod, and Stephen Fry pulled out all the stops (and then some) as the unscrupulous Professor Mildeye. But the show was darn near stolen by The Misfits’ Robert Sheehan, as…

Brilliant Satire: Reasons to Boycott Game of Thrones
