Death Is Only The Beginning: What Does That 'Westworld' Twist Mean Moving Forward?
We have literally blown our tiny little robotic minds, thanks #Westworld. Every great series has a Red Wedding moment, and the seventh episode of #HBO's robotic royale may just have had its own. The specter of death hung over "Trompe L'Oeil" as we delved into the backstory of poor Bernard Lowe and watched his world unravel. In true Westworld fashion, these violent delights had violent ends.

Give Up The Ghost: 'Game Of Thrones' Cut A Favorite Character From The Episode 'Stormborn'
Game of Thrones Season 7 continues to up its PETA credentials as Daenerys Targaryen's dragons roam free, but this season's second episode also saw an animal-friendly reunion some six years in the making. The spunky Arya Stark finally crossed paths once more with her direwolf Nymeria, and the return of the long lost pet had us howling at the moon with excitement. However, while we were flying the Stark sigil, it seems that another canine companion was sadly missing out on all the fun.

'Jurassic World 2' Promises Dino-Mite Sequel To Original Trilogy
Talk about digging up the past, it looks like the next Jurassic Park film could be time traveling back to 1993 for some inspiration. 2014's Jurassic World quite literally jumped the mosasaurus by starting what will reportedly be a "new" trilogy of Spielberg's nostalgic dig through paleontology. While JW director Colin Trevorrow won't return to direct the sequel, J.A. Bayona has taken the helm to promise an epic continuation of the franchise. The A Monster Calls director calls Jurassic World 2 (working title Ancient Features) both a sequel to Jurassic World, and what will work as Jurassic Park 5:

A Wolf In Stark's Clothing: 'Game Of Thrones' Creator Explains Arya's Big Reunion Scene
With the promo for Episode 2 of Game of Thrones Season 7 being a little more spoilerific than normal, it didn't take a genius to work out that Arya Stark would be reunited with a very old friend during the time on "Stormborn."

Hungry For Horror? HBO's Slenderman Documentary Brings Creepypasta To Life!
Considering we're inundated with films about Battleships, emojis and creepy Furby's, a #documentary created from a meme is by no means the weirdest thing we will be watching in our lifetime. And that is just as well, given that #Slenderman — the meme that has been doing the rounds since 2009, and lurking in our nightmares ever since — has just landed its very own cinematic production. Yup, #HBO is serving up a big ole bowl of #Creepypasta, just like momma used to make, and bringing us an all new documentary entitled Beware the Slender Man.

Billy Bob Thornton Is Sporting A Raging Broner For My Little Pony!
In a world where movies like The Hunger Games and The Purge seem to be coming to life, and episodes of The Simpsons are predicting our future, sometimes it feels as though there is little happiness left to be found. Yet, at times like this, solace can be found in the strangest of places — especially if you are #BillyBobThornton. Despite everything going on at the moment, his life sounds like it is all sunshine and sugar lumps thanks to a bunch of rainbow painted, glitter breathing pals. Yup, the 61-year-old actor/director has unveiled himself as a closet #MyLittlePony fan — and the revelation is giving us life.

White House Down: The Worst Fictional Presidents From Film And TV!
We are in dark times when #TheSimpsons once again accurately predicts the future. We should all turn to the yellow psychics and ask them what is next for the human race. With counters already set for when #DonaldTrump will be out of office, love it or hate it, there are four more years of the 44th President of the United States "Trumping" around the White House.

American Horror Story's Lana Winters: Is She Final Girl To Final Victim?
Buffy Summers, Ellen Ripley, Nancy Thompson, and Laurie Strode are just but some of the greatest final girls of pop culture, but what else do they all have in common? They all (at some point) met their maker at the hands of horror. Everyone's time comes, and with the return of Sarah Paulson as #AmericanHorrorStory fan-favorite Lana Winters — but is it time for the journalist to stop singing the name game and throw out her pen for good?

Tipping The (Grey)scales: Fans Disgusted By Most Graphic TV Scene Ever On 'Game Of Thrones'
Well, the second episode of Game of Thrones certainly had everyone talking, and apart from the usual blood and guts, there was a bucket load of puss to pass the time. Away from Ironborn taking a knife to the genitals or Grey Worm and Missandei bumping a lack of genitals, Season 7's "Stormborn" will undoubtedly be remembered for a gross-out scene at the Oldtown's Citadel.

The Wild, Wild, Best: 10 Shows Like 'Westworld' You Have To Watch Next!
Yee-haw, it is robots vs. dragons as #HBO's #Westworld sets itself apart from #GameofThrones as our latest TV addiction. Dubbed at the new GoT, Westworld couldn't be more different from the ice and fire epic if it tried. Joining the network's diverse back-catalog, the show finds itself sitting pretty with the ratings, and now that is has been commissioned for a second season, it is a safe bet that we will get to see Dolores do a barn dance again.

The Belle Of The Ball: Emilie De Ravin Is Back For 'Once Upon A Time' Season 7
Can you hear that sound? The "Belles" are ringing again in Storybrooke. As ABC's Once Upon A Time prepares for its soft reboot and a whole new fairytale for Season 7, it sounds like it won't wholly be a case of out with the old and in with the new. Despite the beanstalk-sized casting cull of Season 6, it looks like #EmiliedeRavin's break from #OnceUponaTime could be much shorter than we expected.
