'Star Trek Beyond' Says An Honorable Goodbye To Ambassador Spock
Warning: This Post Contains Spoilers for Star Trek Beyond! Read At Your Own Risk! I honestly didn't want to watch this movie simply because I knew there would be a huge void. In February 2015, we'd lost our beloved Spock, and I didn't know how his death would be handled. And I wasn't ready for the final goodbye. But, tonight, I decided to take a chance and sit through what I hoped would be an honorable goodbye to a distinguished actor and character.

From Book To Television: 3 Fantasy Series That Would Rock On TV
Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Teen Wolf, and Grimm are just some of the fantasy shows that have become rabidly popular over the past decade and more. In the past we've had Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and Angel, all of which were just as addictive as those more current hits. Fans turn to fantasy time and again, and with some shows preparing to air their final season in 2017, television is going to have openings for engaging series that can hold an audience captive. With legions of fans already in place, these three book series would almost guarantee a successful transition to television.

Here's Why Lucy Lawless Still Owns Her Iconic Role as 'Xena Warrior Princess'
When Entertainment Weekly first broke the news of a Xena Warrior Princess reboot, fans were excited. A spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena Warrior Princess gave television viewers something to get excited about and made Lucy Lawless a star. Those of us who watched the show during its original run from 1995 to 2001 could not imagine anyone else playing Xena. When news began to swirl that Lucy Lawless would not be portraying the title character, the flood gates of discontent opened.

Happy Birthday, Julian McMahon: 7 Ways 'Charmed's' Cole Turner Made Us Love Him
Julian McMahon, the strikingly handsome guy who made us fall in love with a demon on Charmed, turned 48 July 27, 2016. Yes, he was evil. He tried to kill all of the Charmed ones, but that didn't stop us from wanting him to change. Even in the end, when we realized it was never going to happen, we held out hope. And here it is, ten years after the end of Charmed, and we still love Cole Turner, bad or good.

Here's What We Know About The Potential 'Charmed' Reboot So Far
There has been much murmuring about the potential for a reboot of the Charmed series that ran from from 1998–2006 on the WB network. The series, about a trio of sister witches living in San Francisco, has steadily gained popularity thanks to Netflix and a new influx of viewers. Even though I've seen every episode at least three times, Charmed still tops my list of go-to shows whenever I just don't know what I want to watch so the thought of a reboot is both exciting and terrifying. I say terrifying because there is some talk about remaking the show without the original cast. And with all the old shows getting reboots: 24, The X-Files, Heroes (titled Heroes Reborn), Gilmore Girls, and Prison Break (to name a few), I know fans won't settle for anything less than the original Halliwells. Fortunately, it seems like the actresses are amenable to the idea.

Renewed for Season 4, 'The Last Ship' Takes Drama To A New Level
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE LAST SHIP THROUGH AUGUST 14, 2016. The Last Ship, the military drama set aboard the fictional Nathan James, was renewed for Season 4, which will air next summer. The Last Ship has been averaging 7.6 million views each week, with DVR totals along with Video-on-Demand and live-viewing, so it would have been surprising for the show to get anything other than an early renewal.

Four TV Shows With Cliffhanger Endings And How They Were Supposed To End
Being addicted to a television show can be tough sometimes. In a world of quick and easy cancellations, we have to consider whether or not we want to invest our time in characters or a series that might be ripped away from us at a moment's notice. We usually do it anyway, then find ourselves hoping our beloved show gets one more season. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work out. Such is the case with the four shows below. In these cases at least, the showrunners have offered up what would have happened had these four wonderful programs continued beyond cancellation.

Can 'Arrow's' John Diggle Overcome The Darkness And Return As The Voice Of Reason?
When Season 4 of Arrow ended, Diggle had reenlisted in the military, and we saw him saying goodbye to his family. Fans were left to wonder how his decision would change both his character and the show. For as long as we've known him, he's been the voice of reason for Oliver. He'd been a sounding board, a confidante, and a friend. But Diggle suffered a crucible of his own this season, and though some might think it was when he was forced to kill his younger brother, Andy Diggle, I think it happened when Diggle realized his brother had betrayed him.

'Bitten' Hasn't Lost Its Bite: Why A Smart Network Should Add This Outstanding Paranormal Drama To Its Lineup
When Bitten was cancelled in December 2015, fans weren't ready for the end, especially since this show had barely begun. With only 33 episodes aired, Bitten still has a lot of bite left. There are a vast array of stories left to be told, and this is one program that's only going to get stronger, especially if given the opportunity to evolve. And dedicated Bitten fans will follow the show to the next fortunate network that believes in second chances.
