Anne Rice Wants Matt Bomer To Take A Bite At Vampire Chronicles TV Series
"Is that a stake in your pants, or are you just pleased to see me?" There is no denying that vampires still mean big business for Hollywood, with The Vampire Diaries currently airing its eighth and final series. Vampires attract a loyal fanbase, I mean, who hasn't fantasized about Angel, Spike, or Eric Northman sinking their fangs (and more) into you?

With more twists and turns than your average maze, Westworld Season 1 was undoubtedly a wild horseback ride over 10 thrilling episodes. As Episode 10, "The Bicameral Mind," came to a close, and the promise that it could be until 2018 until we stroll into the park again, it could be a long wait. While we finally got a resolution to Ford's expanding narrative and the key of who the Man in Black was, were were still left open-mouthed by some aspects of the series and more confused than Teddy Flood. With that in mind, here are the burning questions we are still branded with until Season 2.

Will Anthony Hopkins Return For 'Westworld' Season 2? The Arguments Ford And Against!
Well, that put the robotic cat among the robotic pigeons. With a slow-burning finale that built to a bullet-laden climax, Westworld Episode 10, "The Bicameral Mind," sure went out with a bang.
