Archer Hits The West Coast To Meet The In-Laws … With A Bullitt

This week, Archer meets Lana’s parents (well, technically he’s met them once before, but …) on a wild trip to Berkeley that turns into a Bullitt-inspired car chase through San Francisco. And how’s this for voice casting: Keith David and CCH Pounder as Dr. and Dr. Kane! Spoilers follow. No case this week, and no…

In a six-part miniseries, Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales will retell each of the original and prequel Star Wars movies from the perspective of C-3PO and R2-D2. The Hollywood Reporter brings…

A Former Superman And Supergirl Join The New Supergirl Show

CBS’s new Supergirl TV series is casting characters all over the place! These two newest addition may take the Kryptonian cake, though — Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and Helen Slater, titular star of the 1984 Supergirl movie, are joining the series. Deadline on sales…

Brienne And Mance Star In First Clips From Game Of Thrones‘ New Season

Things are not exactly upbeat in these clips from the fifth season of Game of Thrones. In one, we’ve got Brienne lamenting the state of the world to Podrick, and, in the other, Jon Snow having an intriguing conversation with Mance Rayder. We cannot wait for April 12th, when the fifth season premieres. Cannot. Wait.…

Leonard Nimoy Showed Us What It Truly Means To Be Human

Leonard Nimoy didn’t just have a massive impact on science fiction, he also transformed pop culture. Nimoy, who died today, took the thankless supporting role of an emotionless alien science whiz, and turned Spock on Star Trek into an icon. Before Spock came along, alien beings in mass media (and most written SF as well)…

The Newest Powers Trailer Feels Like A Parody Of Itself

We’ve seen plenty of Powers footage, but the latest trailer for the live-action adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis’ comic book plays more like a fake trailer one would see in a comedy. Behold, and look upon Sharlto Copley grimacing so very hard. The series, which will air on sony’s PlayStation Network next month, is based…

The CW’s Making a Crossover Show With Atom, Firestorm, and Sara Lance?!

Rather than add a whole bunch of superhero shows to its line-up, the CW is currently developing a show which’ll bring a number of the recurring heroes from The Flash and Arrow into one show. On deck? Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz. Wait. Caity “Sara Lance” Lotz? So that’s the Atom,…

Artist Puts Original 1960s Enterprise Model Into Star Trek Movie Scenes

The 1965 model of the U.S.S. Enterprise usually hangs in the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, but right now it’s being restored. It’s still a thing of incredible beauty, even after 50 years. So artist Nick Acosta took photos of the original model as it is now, and inserted it into iconic shots from the…

Daredevil Images Give The Rest Of The Comic Characters Center Stage

We’ve seen plenty of pictures of Charlie Cox’s new iteration of Daredevil for Netflix, but what we haven’t seen are his fellow comic book cast members. Thankfully, a new batch of images showcases Foggy Nelson, Karen Page, Wilson Fisk! The new images are from the latest issue of Empire Magazine (via Comic Book Movie). We’re…

Same-Sex Sexual Tension Actually Pays Off On The 100

In an episode packed with assassination attempts, shootouts, and many, many explosions, the big moment in last night’s episode of The 100 was a kiss — a kiss that many fans have been hoping would happen for a while now. While a lot has happened on the last few episodes of The 100 (and by…

Oh my! Agents of SHIELD finally returns next Tuesday at 9:00 pm ET, and this new promo poster from Marvel artist Gabriele Dell’Otto promises there’s one major change coming to a certain characters — and to the show.

On Arrow, Everyone’s Best Weapon is Honesty, And It’s Fantastic

They’ve been talking about Nanda Parbat since season one, so you know an episode entitled “Nanda Parbat” is going to be either a huge let-down or one of the season’s best offerings. I thought, for a long time, it was going to be the former. I was wrong. Digg Goes to the Wall For Oliver…

Sex Criminals Comic To Bring Orgasm-Based Bank Heists To TV

Most TV shows about sex crimes are kind of dark. But that’s because none of them are based on Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky’s comic Sex Criminals, where two lovers discover they have the ability to stop time when they orgasm, and immediately use their powers to rob banks. Now that’s going to change! Fraction…

Lady Gaga Cast In American Horror Story. Yep, That Makes Sense.

This was only a matter of time, right? Lady Gaga took to Twitter to announce that she will be joining American Horror Story: Hotel. Which we can only hope is like those Cosmopolitan commercials, but with more masturbating ghosts. Gaga released this video with her wearing a creepy mask while making the announcement. People are…

Superman May Make An Appearance In The Supergirl TV Series After All

Yeah, don’t get too excited. Because this isn’t connecting DC’s TV universe to its cinematic universe, Henry Cavill will definitely not be showing up on TV in his Superman costume, and because the new Supergirl show has figured out a way to minimize the Man of Steel as much as possible. Here’s the newest casting…

Agent Carter‘s Finale Is Unexpectedly All About Captain America

The specter of Steve Rogers hung over the whole of Agent Carter’s first season — but last night’s finale was all about him. To the point where this show started to feel a bit like an epilogue to Captain America: The First Avenger again. That didn’t stop it from being incredibly moving, and having a…

The Sound Effect That Saved Vampire Diaries From Being A Bland Romance

When The Vampire Diaries debuted half a dozen years ago, it looked like Twilight: The TV Series. But one thing quickly came to set TVD apart from other paranormal romances. One distinctive sound effect: the neck-snap. When someone’s neck got snapped, you knew shit had just gone down. Spoilers for recent episodes ahead… Now TVD…

On Star Wars Rebels, No One Expects The Imperial Inquisition

Well, okay, everyone expects the Inquisitor — and it’s no surprise when he starts resorting to torture. So it’s up to the Ghost’s crew to enact a rescue mission before one of their own ends up in one of the Empire’s nastier spots. Last time, Kanan got himself captured by the Inquisitor and Grand Moff…
