Will DC's 'Legends of Tomorrow' Suffer Without an Evil Rip Hunter?
(WARNING: The following post contains spoilers from DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2.) An evil #RipHunter is arguably the best thing to happen to #LegendsofTomorrow. Compared to the standoffish, self-centered rogue leader in Season 1, the new, broodingly cold-hearted Rip in Season 2 has been a breath of fresh air.

Love, Italian Style: How Did 'The Young Pope' Get Made Without Setting Foot Inside the Vatican?
#HBO's exciting new drama The Young Pope is a visual feast. Not only is #JudeLaw a joy to watch as Pope Pius XIII — the flamboyant and controversial first American Pontiff — but the visually stunning and oh-so-detailed recreation of Vatican City is also one of the show's highlights. As movie and TV filming is strictly forbidden at the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, the fact that the 10-episode series can be convincingly made without having to film in or around the Vatican is an impressive feat in itself.

Glenn Rhee's Top 5 Lines from 'The Walking Dead'
With the Tara episode (#TWD S7E6) , we are almost at the tail-end of the first half of The Walking Dead Season 7. Since the harrowing and heart-breaking premiere, we have seen Carol and Morgan feeling perplexed with King Ezekiel in The Kingdom; Daryl suffering at the hands of the Saviors at the Sanctuary; and Maggie, Sasha and Enid beginning an uncertain life at the Hilltop. As for the people in Alexandria, life has to be at an all-time low so much so that we do not get to see much of any action there after six episodes (barring that extended instalment when Negan came a-visiting.)

'The Fall' of a Serial Killer: Can the Series Survive Without Jamie Dornan?
[Warning! Spoilers galore ahead for #TheFall Season3 ] After binge-watching all six episodes of The Fall Season 3, I'm glad to say that, despite some shortcomings, the suspenseful psychological crime series which tells of a female detective superintendent hunting down a serial killer in Belfast, Northern Ireland wrapped up pretty well. Granted that the over-the-top violence in the finale episode was not pretty to look at, the acclaimed BBC Two series did provide the eagerly-awaited fall - pardon the pun - of the show's protagonist.

Never Compromise, Not Even in the Face of Armageddon: Who Would Be the Perfect Cast for HBO's Watchmen?
Rumors have been buzzing lately that HBO is developing a Watchmen series, and since the Zack Snyder movie had the absolute perfect cast, this possible series would have to be able to match that. It doesn't get much better than Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jackie Earle Haley in their respective roles, but I can't help but wonder what cast could possibly live up to such a high standard. Well, I think I've come up with the second best cast to fill out The Watchmen, and I hope you agree!

'Game of Thrones' Season 8: Why Jon Snow May Use Greatsword Dawn to Slay the Night King
From "Battle of the Bastards" to the "Loot Train Attack," Game of Thrones has never failed to up their ante when providing viewers with arguably the finest medieval battle scenes ever seen on television. And one of the key events in the HBO fantasy series' eighth and final season will be without question The Great War, the long-anticipated all-out war between the living and the dead. As seen in Season 7's finale, the 8-millenia-old Wall came tumbling down no thanks to The Night King and his newly reanimated, blue fire-breathing dragon (RIP Viserion), allowing his legions of White Walkers and army of the dead to enter Westeros.

Season 2 of 'Riverdale' is Perfect
Dealing with the winter break in the Riverdale fandom is going to hit hard, especially with the underwhelming reveal of the Black Hood. But here’s the real news, it isn’t over yet. Which means, Svenson is likely not the killer, and once again the writers are directing our attention elsewhere.
