The CW Planning A Justice League Spin-Off From Supergirl, Arrow, and The Flash?
The newest rumors circulating from San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) have given us some juicy details to dissect, in regards to the superhero universe being built by The CW network. From what began with Arrow has expanded on to two other DC'TV series, not including Supergirl which also moved to The CW recently. Along with Supergirl joining the ranks of The Flash and Arrow on The CW, the newest rumors based around Supergirl may be hinting at a collective DC'TV universe uniting the three separate series. That's not to say there isn't a collective universe already established on The CW, but the connectivity between each respective series has been minimal at best. And we can exclude Legends of Tomorrow from the collective tv universe as that series stands outside the continuity of The Flash and Arrow; only the conclusion of Legends of Tomorrow will have any effect on The Flash or Arrow as the legends return to their appropriate time. But as for the rest of the DC'TV universe, the latest news of Supergirl introducing some noteworthy individuals in Season 2 could be hinting at an even bigger crossover event that no one will see coming. I'm talking about the formation of the Justice League.

Who Got Probed? The 'E.T.' Sequel We (Thankfully) Never Got!
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial has just turned 34 years old. Although the character is technically over 10 million years old, Steven Spielberg's iconic film cycled off to the moon on June 11, 1982. Possibly the ultimate family sci-fi film, the star character, E.T., was was the telephone-using, Reese's Pieces-eating alien, who we all wanted to take home. As early as July that year, there were plans for a sequel, but if it had been made, would E.T. II have been Temple of Doom or Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

George R.R. Martin's Original Plan For 'Game of Thrones' Involved A Lannister-style Stark Romance!
We are now heading into the tail end of HBO's Game of Thrones, which has graced our screens with its blood since 2011. There are said to only be two final seasons, and even these could be reduced in length (cue beheading emoji)! Whilst the show has distanced itself from George R.R. Martin's books, the books we have today aren't even how Martin originally intended his A Song of Ice and Fire saga to play out. Last February the Harper Collins Twitter page posted an early proposal letter dated 1993 from Martin to the publishers. Whilst the tweet was quickly deleted, its contents is still floating around reddit, tumblr and deep-web pages. Think of this as Ramsay's letter to Jon Snow, but with less/more rape (depending how you look at it). For those hoping that the contents of this letter will reveal how the show ends, tough luck, some sneaky Snow has blacked out the all-important last paragraph. Nevertheless, spoilers to follow, so let's take a look at how it could've happened!

Game Of Clones — Jon Snow Lookalike Is Causing A Stir On Instagram!
While we may not know who Jon Snow's parents are on HBO's Game of thrones, we may just have found another brand of the family tree. If the Instagram of Josiah Martin is anything to go by, then it looks like the "Bastard of Winterfell" has a long lost brother. Under the name "Facialfollicles," Josiah bears more than a slight resemblance to Kit Harington's bearded northerner Jon Snow. Could the surname Martin also be a relation to the book's author, George R.R. Martin? It is all falling into place, but if you still don't believe us...check it out!
