In many ways, both big and small, television is in the business of selling us the future. Whenever you flip the channels, you’re likely to find a range of fortune tellers – infomercial psychics that swear they can see all, and cable news pollsters that try to predict the outcome of everything from a horse race to the presidential election. Most of the time, they’re not right, but sometimes, TV can be pretty freaking accurate when it tries to guess what’s going to come next....

A good TV show can go on for nine or ten seasons (sometimes more). This allows us to spend literally hundreds of hours with our favorite characters, cheerfully watching them grow from the pilot to the series finale. It’s hard to believe that a lot of our most beloved characters almost didn’t exist. If you go back and watch the pilot for some of your favorite shows you’ll find that your favorite stars are almost unrecognizable....

fWhen it comes to creating great concepts for TV shows, it is usually probably best to leave the theorizing and plot points to that show’s writers. But TV fans who really pay attention to their favorite shows often come up with plot ideas and twists that actually make as much sense as what those writers eventually might come up with. Every television show has its share of fan theories that end up somewhere on the Internet (Tumblr or Reddit are often full of conspiracy theories about television shows)....

It doesn’t matter whether you consider it a video game movie, a comic book movie, or just an action/comedy about nerd culture in general– Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of the best examples of all three. Directed and co-written by Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead fame and starring a cast of well-known but still-rising stars, Scott Pilgrim unfortunately wasn’t a huge box office success. However, the film had strong critical praise and has since gone on to be considered a modern classic with a huge fanbase....

The Gossip Girl TV show may never have gotten as scandalous as the books did, and it would never have aired on the CW if it did. The show still had its fair share of insane moments – and in some cases, those big, shocking moments took things a bit too far, especially considering that the series was about teenagers. Their parents were involved, too, and most of the surprising storylines didn’t involve them, or at least not just them....

When it comes to Marvel, there is no shortage of heroes that stand out. However, the heroine Wasp possesses a certain quality which helps to set her apart from other heroes. It is somewhat ironic that even though her powers mostly involve shrinking down to the size of an insect, she still succeeds in drawing the most attention. While her partne Ant-Man is the brains of the duo (at least for the Hank Pym incarnation), Wasp still succeeds in out doing him....

Nintendo has created some of the greatest franchises in video game history, many of which have been staples throughout the lives of gamers. It’s hard to imagine the world of gaming without characters like Link, Mario, and Pikachu, as they have left such a massive impact on the industry as a whole. There have been many games produced by Nintendo or by other companies for Nintendo systems over the years, and some of them have left us with unanswered questions....

When debating about the greatest directors of all time, names such as Alfred Hitchock, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg have to pop up. But all of them feel like titans of a gone era. No other two directors have been more influential and critically successful in modern times than Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese. Movies by the two directors always trigger plenty of anticipation. That’s what happens when you are too good....

The cast and crew of any given Star Trek property are almost guaranteed to spend a lot of time together. Whether they’re working on a television episode or a movie, it takes a long time to create the world that’s become a favorite for so many people. So, naturally, there are bound to be some relationships that form between cast and crew. Over the years, the actors especially have been the subject of a lot of rumors about their dating lives, especially if their characters were together on the show....

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Thor: Ragnarok - Given the film’s title, Thor: Ragnarok was always going to end with some major destruction. And, sadly for Asgard, it was the main target; the third Thor movie saw the mythical kingdom decimated in the final act by the fire demon Surtur, allowing him to fulfill the Ragnarok prophecy and at the same time take out Hela, who drew her power from the home of the Gods....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ahead.] – At the very end of season 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Dr. Radcliffe teased the secret project he had been working on, and it was a callback to a major comic idea. Season 4 has seen Radcliffe and Fitz fully create and perfect to a certain degree Life Model Decoys. While the usage of the first LMD Aida (Mallory Jansen) was a subplot at first in Ghost Rider’s story in S....

As far as many cinephiles are concerned, the 80s marked a decade in which good movies were bountiful. That was the generation in which it was not hard to find a quality movie to rent or watch at the cinema, because instant classics were so abundant. Times like this in film history are hard to come by these days. The movies that were created in the ’80s hold a special place in so many fans’ hearts, and it would be hard to recapture their charm and magic - no matter how hard many filmmakers try....

While shows about time travel are nothing new, it’s rare to find one that quickly rose to popularity like Travelers. Originally produced by Showcase before Netflix took over, this show focuses around agents from the distant future called “Travelers” who transfer their minds into host bodies in the past (aka the present day) to prevent several disasters from happening. Despite its critical acclaim over three seasons and teasing a potential fourth season, it was announced by the series’ main actor/producer Eric McCormack that Travelers had been canceled....

Two years ago, Kevin Hart and Ice Cube paired up for Ride Along, a buddy cop film that dominated the box office. The comic talents of the two leads proved to be a winning combination that spawned a sequel, arriving in theaters this week. Ever since Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte teamed up in 48 Hrs., the buddy cop genre has been good to Hollywood, with all types of pairings being brought to the big screen....

The thing you spent way too much time dreaming about is finally happening. No, not Spider-Man getting another movie reboot, despite the last film coming out just two years ago. But rather the details of that reboot, the most important detail being that Sony and Marvel have unbelievably teamed up to bring Spider-Man where he belongs; into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Titled Spider-Man: Homecoming, the latest Spider-Man reboot will follow the character’s introduction in this summer’s Captain America: Civil War....

Casting a TV show is all about balance. The cast has to have chemistry. The actors have to look just right for the part. Oh, and the actors have to be talented enough to carry the role, too. This is true of every show. However, for the teen drama ensembles that make up the majority of The CW network’s programming, finding the right dreamy cast of attractive men and women is of the utmost importance....

From the outside, being on a successful TV show appears like a dream come true. Imagine getting paid thousands of dollars to portray a recognized character that will be remembered (and sometimes immortalized) for years and decades to come. Sure, there might be a lot of fame and hard work involved in building a legendary show and performance, but this is what we like to refer to as First-World problems....

From 2008 - 2014, Bon Temps was the place where audiences went to immerse themselves in the supernatural. Based on the book series by Charlaine Harris called The Southern Vampire Mysteries, True Blood spent seven seasons following Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic fairy who worked as a waitress at a bar called Merlotte’s in a tiny little Louisiana town. The HBO series picks up in a world where vampires have just “come out of the coffin....
