5 Actors Who Played Real-Life Killers So Well, They'll Never Stop Freaking Us Out
Actors get paid to create characters that make us feel so many different emotions. And if they're good at their jobs, we get lost in their roles. But there are some roles we wish didn't exist, and some stories we wish didn't have to be told.

5 Reasons Why 'The West Wing' Will Never Grow Old
The West Wing debuted in September 1999 and gave us seven wonderful seasons of gripping television. Of course there were times when, unless you were a political junkie, you might not have understood exactly what was happening, but the acting was so compelling you couldn't take your eyes off the screen.

From Orphan To Wolf: 'Teen Wolf' Star Tyler Posey Turns 25
As Teen Wolf prepares to air its final season, actor Tyler Posey will turn 25 on October 18th. I've watched him grow up on television, and it's difficult to believe the little boy who first captivated my heart on Doc isn't so little anymore.

Did Flashpoint Set 'Arrow' Up For The 2046 Timeline From 'Legends Of Tomorrow'?
Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Flash and Arrow. Tuesday's episode of The Flash (October 11) answered the question of how Barry Allen's trip back in time and the devastating aftereffects would be resolved, and it didn't necessarily leave things in a positive light for the Arrowverse. Many changes remained, some which have excited viewers (Caitlyn Snow's powers and potential to be Killer Frost). We only saw one difference on Arrow so far, but with all the changes that took place on The Flash, we should expect more.

Will Tyler Hoechlin's Superman Get His Own CW Series, Or Would It Overshadow The Others?
Warning: The post contains spoilers for the season premiere of Supergirl! Before Tyler Hoechlin made his debut as Superman on Supergirl, fans began questioning whether it was just a cameo or whether he would take on the iconic role as a full-time Man of Steel. With The CW bringing all things DC to the small screen, it would stand to reason that a show about Superman would be a perfect fit.

Speedy No More? Why Thea Queen's New Attitude Isn't Working For 'Arrow' Season 5
This post contains spoilers for the October 5th season premiere of Arrow. Thea Queen has undergone a transformation since Arrow finished up Season 4, and as much as I love this character, I can't say I'm altogether thrilled with the changes.

While You Wait for 'The Walking Dead' To Return, Check Out Norman Reedus' Amazing Indie Movie On Netflix
Waiting for The Walking Dead to return can strain any fan's patience. We search for news about our favorite stars, hang out on Twitter to see if we've missed anything, and rewatch the previous season to catch up before the premiere. In case you don't already know (which I'm sure you do), The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres on October 23rd.

Don't Expect The Same Dr. Caitlin Snow This Season on 'The Flash'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Flash's Season 3 episode, "Flashpoint." The Flash's Season 3 premiered on October 5th, and while we were warned "Flashpoint" would cause changes to the timeline and the characters, there was one that didn't make sense. All of the characters returned with their original jobs with only slight differences. Joe West remained a detective. Barry still worked for CCPD, and Iris was still a journalist. Even Cisco had his hand in toys and technology.

Audiences Got Sick Of Origin Stories, But Can The DCEU Make Us Love Them Again?
There's a reason why Marvel introduced Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War without showing us the radioactive spider bite, Uncle Ben's death and so on: we'd already seen it twice in a decade. Same goes for Batman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, whom we met as a veteran crimefighter, not as a rookie like in Batman Begins. There have been so many superhero origin stories filmed in recent years, and audiences started to sense a formula.

Why 'Designated Survivor' Is Already A Must-Watch Series For '24' Fans And Everybody Else
This post contains spoilers for both the pilot episode and the second episode of Designated Survivor. Designated Survivor hit television screens on September 21st, and electrified viewers in the first 10 minutes. Kiefer Sutherland, better known as Jack Bauer on 24, takes on a more sedate role as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a family man who never expected to be thrust into the role of the Commander-in-Chief. But a bomb takes out the Capitol and all parties in the line of succession to the presidency, and Tom Kirkman's (Kiefer Sutherland) life changes forever.

Is A 'Chuck' Movie Ever Happening? Fans Still Hope So
Chuck, the geek-turned-spy TV series that struggled in the ratings, ended in 2012 after five seasons. Almost immediately, fans began clamoring for a movie, if not another season. The finale of Chuck was ambiguous, and producers felt that the ambiguity allowed viewers to choose how they wanted the show to wrap up. Fans made it very clear that wasn't what they wanted.
