Time to stick on that tin foil-fedora, because it is back down to #Westworld for your weekly head-scratcher of WTF (What — Teddy Flood?). While the internet STILL ponders multiple timeline theories, and true identities of the #ManInBlack, the case for it all being true is stronger than ever. I have already highlighted the theory on how mild-mannered William could be the infamous Man in Black here:

On Your Marks, Get Rex, Go: Science Finally Answers If You Could Outrun A T-Rex
We all know that Jurassic Park could never happen (more's the pity), and unless you are Dr. Ross Geller from Friends, the fact that the dinosaurs don't look enough like birds and the Velociraptors are too large probably won't keep you up at night. Most people enjoy the films for the sci-fi horrors they are and forget the science behind the scenes.

Stench of Death
Salt stings the noses of the small band of survivors crossing a narrow channel of calm, crimson stained water. Smoke bellows from where they came and ash lightly falls through the heavy fog. The men cough and tremble, each of them are scared in some way. Captain Wayland sits at the helm of the ship that carries fifteen men including himself. Many of them are too wounded to sit, let alone stand. The ones that do sit and stand, endure the odor of their comrades’ burnt flesh rising up to their noses. Captain Wayland drifts back and forth as blood runs down his chin, he gently looks upward. The tight vein of water is enclosed by large walls of stone, sharpened like the spears of giants. The fog and smoke lay a blanket over the sky dripping ash through the air and into the men’s lounges. He wipes the blood from his jaw and looks down towards his soldiers that shiver and cry.

Gray For Pay: 'The Last Jedi' Cast Hint At Major Gray Jedi Theory During D23
It could be a case of "these are not the Jedi you are looking for" when Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits cinemas in December. The Star Wars films have always been a battle between "good" and "bad," but expect Johnson's latest installment to muddy the waters more than Rey = good, Kylo = bad. The light side of the Force may be shining through with Daisy Ridley's Rey training as a Jedi, but expect things to get a little "gray" during Episode VIII.

Woody Harrelson Turned Down His 'Han Solo' Role Twice — So Why Did He Eventually Say Yes?

The Wookiee Gets Some Nooky: New 'Han Solo' Picture Spoils Chewbacca's Story
Fire up the Falcon, because the Star Wars anthology movies are blasting off with Disney's Han Solo. While not much is known about where the smuggler's origin story will take us, at least we know that old friend Chewbacca will be on hand to hopefully steer the production to box office success. With #RonHoward taking over the reins of the troubled anthology film, the director clearly has a new vision for his movie, but could he also be bringing back a long-missing character to official #StarWars canon?
