Well, another season of Sister Wives has come to a close! Can you even believe it?? We've been watching this motley crew of Mormons for four entire seasons now, witnessing such huge life changes as the addition of a fourth wife, two new babies, a major geographical move, and much, much more. And after all that, what does the world at large care about? What's the only Sister Wives related issue the Browns' faithful audience really, really cares about?? 

Well, actually there are two:

1. Are the wives jealous of each other?

2. Are they ever gonna add a fifth wife?

Yup, essentially the same questions that everybody's had for the Browns since Day 1 (or since after Robyn became the official fourth wife, anyway). So of course Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn addressed those questions while on the couch during the "Sister Wives Tell All" segment of the show, and of course their answers were the same as they always are:

1. Yes, sometimes the wives get jealous of each other but that's to be expected and it's just something they all deal with and blah, blah, blah.

2. Um, well, Kody's not actively seeking another wife but then again he didn't go out looking for Robyn, either, and she just happened and, um ...

Personally, I don't think the Browns will be tossing another wife into the mix anytime soon -- or anytime, ever, really. (Not from the look on Christine's face when the idea came up.) Plus, now that TLC already has that My 5 Wives show lined up, what would be the point?

Anyway. Not a whole lotta cliffhangers going into season 5, but maybe that's okay. Maybe we'll just tune into Sister Wives as a way of checking in on old friends instead of getting our vicarious plural marriage kicks. On that note, check out this clip of the kids saying nice stuff about their nice parents:

Nadie puede creer ni esta noche es el Final de la temporada de Esposas hermana?? Es cierto, estamos apenas unas horas de un episodio especial de doble de hermana esposas incluyendo la "terapia de matrimonio polígamo," en que "Kody y sus cuatro esposas enfrentan sus problemas de relación en una pareja retirada que incluye una sesión de meditación que les ayuda a llegar al fondo de sus conflictos internos" y "hermana esposas dicen todo," uno de los "todo el mundo se sienta en el sofá y responde a las preguntas de espectador" se refiere. Me parece muy jugoso, dang??

No puedo decidir qué parte de la final de la temporada estoy deseando más, las matrimonio polígamo terapia parejas la retirada o la sesión de Q&A. Supongo que todo depende de cuál es la mitad de la especial termina siendo más revelador. Es decir, las esposas de hermana realmente dirá todo?? Dudoso, pero espero que estas 5 preguntas se encuentran entre las consultas respondidas:

¿1. Meri realmente quiere a otro bebé?

2. ¿Cómo te pagan por todas esas casas otra vez?

3. Igual que #2, excepto en reemplazar "casas" con "seguro de salud".

4. ¿Qué piensa realmente Janelle de "Armario de mi SisterWife"?

5. No importa los niños: ¿Qué opina de las esposas de estilo faux-surfista de Kody?

¿Qué preguntas candentes que esperas conseguir respondidas en hermana esposas Season Finale esta noche.

Major 'Mad Men' News Changes Everything We Know About Season 7

dinsdag 17 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 2 hours ago

HUGE, exciting announcement for Mad Men fans! Just when we thought we were going to have to kiss the show goodbye forever after season 7 wraps in early summer 2014, AMC has announced that the final, seventh season will consist of 14 episodes -- as opposed to the usual 13 -- and will be split up into two "mini-seasons" consisting of seven episodes each. One will air this coming spring 2014, and the other ... spring 2015! Eeee!!!

SO awesome! That means we'll basically be getting the benefit of a season 8 ... without an actual season 8. All right, sure, I guess not the FULL benefit, because that would mean 26 more episodes total as opposed to 14, but still, being a beggar at creator Matthew Weiner's mercy, we'll take what we can get, right?!

Here's what else we know (so far) ...

The first half of season 7 is being referred to as "The Beginning." And the second half is called "The End of an Era." Sigh, yes, yes, it will be!The network decided to do it this way mostly because it has "worked well" with Breaking Bad, which attracted nearly double the number of viewers to its second half premiere than had watched any previous episode. Whoa! Well, not surprising, I guess. Splitting ANY final installment this way definitely amps up the anticipation quotient. (See: Harry Potter, Twilight, etc.)Weiner, the writers, and the cast/crew are cool with it. In AMC's statement, he notes, "We plan to take advantage of this chance to have a more elaborate story told in two parts, which can resonate a little bit longer in the minds of our audience. The writers, cast, and other artists welcome this unique manner of ending this unique experience.”We can look forward to a "powerful sendoff," according to Kevin Beggs, Chairman of Lionsgate TV Group.

Now the big questions this news obviously brings to mind! Does this mean season 7 will cover 1969 and 1970, or just the first half of the year and the second? And if it's the latter, my guess is that Weiner may end the "mid-season" finale somewhere around July 20, 1969 -- when we first landed on the moon, cuz that could stand for all sorts of dramatic, metaphoric meaning ... Will they film it all at once or split up the production, too? Will everyone want to participate in both mini-seasons or will someone drop out at the last moment? Eek! Hope not!

Either way, knowing we've got two more years of Mad Men to look forward to is a real treat. Can't wait!

What do you think about this new plan to split season 7?

'DWTS' Premiere Recap: Season 17 Kicks Off With One Shock After Another

AppId is over the quota
por Mary Fischer hace 10 horas

Ahhhhh! Sé que no soy el único que literalmente se levantó del sofá y aplaudieron durante el estreno de Dancing With the Stars temporada 17 esta noche. OMG. ¿Dónde diablos han sido esconden estos concursantes? Por primera vez en no sé cuánto tiempo, que no podía dejar sonriendo de oreja a oreja como cada pareja tomó la pista de baile.

La primera noche de DWTS suele ser incómodo, incómodo, un poco aburrido y también algo vergonzoso... pero este elenco está seriamente en llamas.

Y podrían que se echaron las cosas esta noche con alguien más caliente que Brandt Daugherty. ¿Por qué nunca oí de este tipo antes? Es todo tipo de sexy como el infierno y mucho más. (Mamá me gusta). Y él y Peta Murgatroyd tenemos química loco, así que deben ser muy interesantes ver esta temporada.

Después de actuación Brandt y de Peta, que la mitad espera el show al comienzo va cuesta abajo bastante rápido, pero luego solo guardé mejorando y sorprendió a los diablos de todo el mundo.

¿ Corbin Bleu? Sí, sí, sé que es un poco en el lado experimentado, pero todavía-- Karina Smirnoff y él eran impresionantes.

Y OMG-- Jack Osbourne. ¿No era nada corta de adorable, pero también probó ser muy suave en sus pies--quién sabían? (Y totalmente empecé a romper después de ver a su madre Sharon llorando en la audiencia.)

Elizabeth Berkley también me llamó la atención y es mirar hacia fuera para esta temporada. Ok, así que tal vez fue Val Chmerkovskiy que me había pegado a la TV, pero como sea.

Y no me hagas hablar sobre Amber Riley. ¿Puede esa chica moverlo y agitar, o qué? Es de noche sólo uno, pero si ella y Derek Hough seguir este ritmo, les sería fácil tomar el trofeo de bola de espejo.

Por supuesto, tuvieron que salvar a Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi para el final, y debo decir que ella entregó totalmente. Definitivamente lleva esta competencia (y su vida) en serio, que es tan refrescante. La quiero. (Y Len la llamó un poco "pocket rocket". El pobre no tenía ni idea lo que dijo, y fue increíble).

Hmm. Si tuviera que elegir un favorito esta noche pero voy a tener que dar mi voto a Jack Osbourne. Es demasiado lindo para resistir.

OMG. No puedo esperar para la próxima semana.

¿Quién es tu concursante favorito hasta ahora?

'Mad Men' Season 7: Creator Matthew Weiner Dishes Series Finale Details

vrijdag 13 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 13 hours ago

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner appears to have ditched the writer's room and put season 7 on hold for the time being. Before you flip out and call the guy a slacker, let me clarify ... Weiner's first feature film, You Are Here, starring Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis, premiered in at the Toronto Film Festival this week. He's been hanging out with our neighbors to the north and chatting with the press.

Of course, everyone's curious about the flick but also can't help but ask him about Mad Men. And for that reason, it's a good thing he's not holed up, because he revealed some exciting details about what he's worked on so far and what we can expect when the show returns (maybe in April?!) ...

Weiner revealed to USA Today:

I opened the writer's room almost a month ago. I figure out the arc for the entire season first. I've known for a while (how it will go).

While we knew that, he made it sound like this seventh -- and most likely final -- season goes all out, leaving no stone unturned.

I don't want to leave anything on the table. It has its own organic direction.

So vague! "Organic direction"? What does that MEAN? He lets Don and Peggy and Joan and Betty, etc. lead him to the series' inevitably gasp-worthy climax? He spoke in a bit more detail to Vanity Fair:

Right now, I have a new challenge, which is how to end the show, so that is occupying my time.

But, Matt, we thought you had that ending figured out a long time ago ...?! Hmmm ...

More from The Stir: 'Mad Men' Actress Plays 'Child Star Psychologist' & the Result Is Hilarious (VIDEO)

He addressed VF's Q about whether he felt he "used up" that final image of Don looking at his childhood home with Sally, Bobby, and Gene by writing it into the finale of season 6:

I do have a different idea for the end of the series, but I’ll tell you, now that I’m at the bottom of the mountain looking up there, I have thought, “Wow, you idiot! You could have walked away from there.” But it’s an honor to have a challenge like this. And I love that 78 episodes into the series, people are telling me that they think that was the best episode of the show. How did that happen? I am lucky to have an audience that is invested. For me, the real pressure is living up to what those people expect. I do have an ending that is different than that, and hopefully when the series will be over, they will see it as another step in [Don’s] development.

Love that it sounds like what we want as fans and how we'll react to the show really is important to Weiner. He expressed to EW.com:

I went through this before with The Sopranos, and I can tell you that the audience is certainly more in your mind than it ever was.

Sounds like a good sign to me!

What do you think Matt Weiner has up his sleeve for the end of Mad Men?

'Glee' Season 5 Spoilers Reveal an Engagement We're FREAKING Out Over! (VIDEO)

woensdag 11 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Emily Abbate 13 hours ago

Major confession: I've been so wrapped up in all the hype behind the Cory Monteith tribute episode of Glee that I haven't exactly been following the rest of the character storylines. However, there's major news leaking about what fans of the hit FOX show can expect in the first two episodes of season 5, which we already know is a two-part Beatles tribute. Major news, as in two major characters may be getting engaged!

I know I know, hold your freak-out. Read on to find out who's getting engaged, if Rachel Berry lands the part in Funny Girl, and everything else we know about season 5 so far!

Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead!!

1. Kurt. Blaine. Engaged: We already heard that Blaine would be proposing to Kurt at the beginning of season 5 and that the duo would sing the Beatles' classic "All You Need Is Love." However, there are new photos showing Chris Colfer wearing an engagement ring that have us CONVINCED he says yes! Three cheers for Klaine!

2. Rachel Berry's a Broadway star: OK, so we don't know 100 percent if Rachel gets the role in Funny Girl or not. However, there are loads of photos of Lea Michele filming Glee here in New York City standing in front of the Broadway show poster. Not to mention, the show's creator Ryan Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter that a big chunk of season 5 follows Rachel and "one particular story." Sounds like a role in a major Broadway show could fit that bill.

3. A track list! Well, what we think is the track list. According to Wetpaint, this is what fans can expect to hear while watching the Beatles tribute:

"Drive My Car" performed by Artie and Kitty
"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" performed by Artie and Kitty
"A Hard Day's Night" performed by Rachel and Santana
"I Saw Her Standing There" performed by Sam, Ryder, Blaine, and Jake
"All You Need Is Love" performed by Blaine
"Help" performed by Blaine and Sam
"Got to Get You Into My Life" performed by Blaine and Kurt
"Yesterday" performed by Rachel

'DWTS' Pro Karina Smirnoff Leaks Season 17 Partner's Name -- He's a 'Hottie'!

dinsdag 3 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Mary Fischer 3 hours ago

Ugh -- enough with the rumors already! By this time tomorrow, we'll know exactly who is part of the Dancing With the Stars season 17 cast, as the announcement will be made on Good Morning America.

Quite a few names have been thrown around already. So far, it looks like there's a very good chance that we'll get to see Elizabeth Berkley, Snooki, Amber Riley, Christina Milian, Leah Remini, and Valerie Harper show off their dancing skills -- but where are all the dudes?

Well, DWTS pro Karina Smirnoff gave a clue as to who her partner will be, and she promises that he's a major hottie.

Karina said her partner's name is Ryan -- though she wouldn't disclose his last name just yet. And even though she threw a little joke in about it possibly being Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling, we know they're both way too big of stars to compete on the show -- which only leaves one possibility. (Just picture Gosling hitting the ballroom floor. Want to hazard a guess at how many times he'd have panties thrown at him from the audience?)

Duh, Ryan Lochte! OMG. Of course it's him. Olympic athletes are a dime a dozen on this show, so there has to be at least one of them in the season 17 cast, right? One thing's for sure -- he's definitely hot, so he fits into her "hottie" description perfectly.

But if it's not him -- is there anyone else it could be? Hmm. What about Ryan Sutter ... you know, Trista's husband? (The original Bachelorette.) He's verrrrrry easy on the eyes in addition to being super athletic, so maybe he's a possibility?

Or how about Ryan Seacrest? (Nah. He's not what I would consider hot. And the whole Julianne Hough connection would probably be too dramatic anyway, you know, with Derek all up in his grill.)

Ryan Phillippe? No way. He's another one who is way too "celebrity" for this gig.

Yep, my money's on Lochte for sure -- and thankfully we'll know if he made the cut in a matter of hours.

Who do you think is Karina's partner?

'Walking Dead' Season 4 Spoilers: A Mysterious Deadly 'Force' and 5 Other Brand New Revelations

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Linda Sharps 1 hour ago

When last we visited the topic of Walking Dead spoilers from the upcoming fourth season, I was telling you about how there may be big changes ahead for two of the main characters. The latest scoop comes courtesy of a VERY interesting article over at The Hollywood Reporter, which includes no less than 14 season 4 spoilers.

Of course, we're all using the term "spoiler" a little loosely, because most of these revelations would fall into what I would call the teaser category. That doesn't mean they aren't fascinating as all get out, though. I've rounded up six of the juiciest season 4 announcements the Walking Dead cast and creators decided to share in this latest interview. (Don't read further if you haven't watched season 3!)

One episode will follow the comics storyline exactly. Co-executive producer and special effects guru Greg Nicotero says one upcoming season 4 episode will be "almost verbatim" with a Walking Dead comic issue:

It's really fascinating to make those slight departures, introduce new characters and then get to a situation where you take one episode and you really stick to the source material. You'll be surprised about the way the characters lay out.

Ooh, which one could it possibly be? The really big storylines that come to mind -- the suicide pact, Rick beating the murderer, Rick fighting Tyreese -- involve characters that aren't in the show, so I'm VERY curious how this will turn out.

Rick isn't likely to keep hallucinating Lori. OH THANK GOD. According to Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick,

Lori's death was incredibly well-explored last season and I'm one of these actors that doesn't like repeating things. One of the great strengths of the show is that we don't like to repeat things. Perhaps we won't see any white-dressed wives appearing this season -- but who knows!

Please just don't, AMC. I am so all done with Lori, thank you very much.

It's possible Michonne may be the one who will find where the Governor's been since last season -- and deliver his punishment. Show creator Robert Kirkman says,

More than any other character, Michonne is driven to find the Governor and find out what's going on with him; where he is, what he may be plotting and bringing him to justice.

That much-teased 'threat' is seriously a BFD. Dude, they are selling this mysterious threat so hard I sure hope it can live up to all the hype. Showrunner Scott Gimple:

It's someone we haven't seen before. Someone unusual; you can't stab them in the face, you can't reason with it. It's a force that would be dangerous in this world and in the world of The Walking Dead, it's terrifying.

It's "someone" -- not "something" -- you can't stab? Okay, I've theorized about this a million times, but I'm officially out. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

The zombies are going to be unexpectedly dangerous. The crew has been very clear that the walker threat would be increased in season 4, but Nicotero made an interesting comment about the upcoming surprise factor:

Our group became very proficient at killing walkers, so one of the things that Scott and I talked about after season three was we wanted that threat to be ever constant and ever present. We've devised ways to put our characters in instantaneous jeopardy without them being prepared for it.

Maybe he's talking about herds? At any rate, it sure sounds like there will be plenty of holy-crap moments to look forward to, doesn't it?

The very first episode will introduce new characters and that new threat. Season 4 will follow the split-season strategy where there will essentially be one main story, a mid-season finale, then a second story in the second half of the season. Of the season premiere, Nicotero says,

It's really the one episode of the season where there's a little bit of lightheartedness before the shit hits the fan. It doesn't last very long.

I say this every time, but I can't WAIT. Come on, October 13!

What do you think about these new season 4 teases? Do you have any more guesses for the Mysterious Deadly Threat™?

'Downton Abbey' Season 4 Teaser Reveals Lady Mary's Devastating Struggle (VIDEO)

vrijdag 30 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Linda Sharps 3 hours ago

Downton Abbey fans, I've got some great news for you: the official season 4 trailer will be released this Saturday, August 31. The show just wrapped its final day of shooting a week ago, editing for the Christmas special began on August 21, and today a teaser video for the upcoming season hit the web.

With all these exciting announcements, it almost makes up for the fact that U.S. viewers have to wait four frickin' months after the show premieres in the U.K. in mid-September! ALMOST.

The 10-second teaser features Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess, and while the video doesn’t reveal too much visually, her dialogue hints at the major heartbreak still resonating from last season's tragic events.

(Spoilers for season 3 ahead!)

As you likely remember all too clearly, Matthew died last season in a car accident that happened just after he'd seen his newborn son for the first time. Even though I'd been spoilered about his death, I was still completely shocked and dismayed when it happened. Because first he was all, doop di do tra la la LAAAAAA!

And then he was like, gaaaaaaaaack.

And I was all,

Anyway, season 4 will reportedly pick up six months after Matthew's death. Much has been made about the fact that Lady Mary will have new suitors in the wake of losing her husband, but based on this new teaser clip, she'll be faced with some very heavy and realistic grief along the way. Take a look:

That's quite a line, isn't it? "You have a straightforward choice before you: You must choose either death or life."

We can't see who the Dowager Countess is talking to, but it stands to reason that she's giving advice to Lady Mary. Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary, recently spoke about season 4 and how her character would evolve after losing Matthew. Dockery referenced the new love interests ("One is an old family friend who she hasn't seen since she was a child"), but she also described the challenges Lady Mary will face at the start of the season:

Mary was never going to be a very maternal mother. To begin with, it's hard to bond with the baby because she looks at him and sees Matthew. So motherhood is a slow process for Mary. She's incredibly strong and she has the strength to kind of see it through. Throughout the series, Mary slowly comes back to life and, of course, it's important for her to eventually move on. But it is kind of touch and go in the beginning. She is in a really, really dark place.

It sounds weird to say I like hearing this, because who likes watching someone mourn and struggle with new motherhood? But it's somehow good to hear that the show will focus on the logical aspect of how Mary would be dealing with so much sorrow, and not brush that aside in their eagerness to trot out the hotly anticipated list of new suitors.

What did you think of this quick teaser?

Major 'Glee' Star Joining 'DWTS' Season 17 Cast? Competitors, Beware! (VIDEO)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Emily Abbate 3 hours ago

All right Glee fans, it's time to geek out. We know a lot of you were uber bummed when it was announced that Mercedes, AKA actress Amber Riley, was leaving the halls of McKinley High for bigger and better things, hence leaving the show. But new rumors indicate that the diva is going to be making her way back to TV soon. Real soon. Get this: Amber Riley is joining Dancing With the Stars for season 17! Well, that's what the rumor is anyway.

Riley will reportedly first join the original Glee castmates filming the Cory Monteith tribute episode and then start working on DWTS. And not gonna lie -- compared to the other rumored castmates of season 17, something tells me that Amber Riley could have this one in the bag.

First, let's break down who else they've mentioned in the casting rumors shall we? First up, there's Snooki -- who could be fist pumping her way to the mirror ball trophy. Then hopefully John Stamos (oh PLEASE do a dance shirtless, will ya Uncle Jesse?) and the bomb that King of Queens star Leah Remini could take the stage. And oh right, who could forget Tanning Mom?!

So ... with those names said, something tells me Riley has a solid go at this one. I mean, from what we've seen on Glee, the diva has some moves. If she can dance half as good as she can sing, then she's totally gonna take home the trophy.

We'll just have to wait until the cast is revealed September 4 and find out if Amber makes the cut! Trying to rack your brain and remember if Amber's got the dancing gene? Here, check out this clip of her shakin' it during a Glee live performance:

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 4 Casting News Brings Someone Back From the Dead

donderdag 22 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Jill Baughman 4 hours ago

Another day, another daily dose of Game of Thrones season 4 casting news. Believe it or not, they're actually bringing back someone who was killed off in season 3 -- but it's definitely not who you think! But first, the role of Wildling leader Styr, the Magnar of Thenn, will be played by Joseph Gatt, and they have recast Tommen Baratheon, replacing him with an older boy, as he'll most likely have a meatier role in season 4.

Callum Wharry played Tommen in seasons 1 and 2, and he won't be back for season 4. Dean-Charles Chapman will take over -- though this actor played Martyn Lannister and was brutally murdered by the Karstarks in season 3. Guess they're hoping no one will recognize him?

So let's speculate what we're going to see from these characters, based off A Storm of Swords, okay? There are BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD. You already know the Internet is dark and full of LOTS AND LOTS OF SPOILERS.

So let's start off with badass Styr, Magnar of Thenn. Why are the names in Game of Thrones so freakin' cool? Anyway, he is a Wilding leader, the leader of the Thenn. The book describes him as tall, skinny, and he doesn't have ears. Also, Joseph is perfect because he's clean shaven and bald, with gray eyes. He's a tough ruler but his men are extremely loyal to him. He once allied with Mance Rayder against the Others.

Mance plans an assault against the Wall, and Styr, his co-commander Jarl, and a group of his men went ahead to try to take Castle Black from behind ... but Jon Snow was able to warn the Night's Watch of the attack. Styr and his men die when they're caught in a trap as they're climbing the Wall. Should be a very exciting scene to watch!

Tommen, on the other hand, gets a bigger role because ... he becomes the king! That's right, his older brother, Joffrey, kicks the bucket at his own wedding, and Tommen is next in line. There are also plans to have little Tommen marry Margaery Tyrell in place of Joffrey. He also enjoys putting royal stamps on all the documents. Gotta love Tommen.

And RIP, Joffrey:

What do you think of Joseph Gatt as Styr? Think you would have recognized Martyn?

‘Girls’ Season 3 Sneak Peak Reveals Skin and Lots of It ... Again! (VIDEO)

maandag 19 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Ericka Sóuter 2 hours ago

Another season of HBO's Girls is coming up and you know what that means: whiny angst, boy troubles, and, of course, plenty of nudity. After so much criticism in the first two seasons, some may have wondered if creator/writer Lena Dunham might scale back on the skin. Not a chance. Take a look at the scantily clad cast in the new teaser trailer!

Dunham isn't shy about showing off her curvy figure in a very teeny blue bikini in these fun photos taken from the season 3 set. She's not alone. We also get a sexy glimpse of costars Allison Williams and Jemima Kirke. There are a few more plot surprises too.

It looks like her on-off beau Adam Driver is back and a tender moment suggest that things are definitely back on. There is no doubt this round of episodes will be filled with just as much drama as the first two - floating around from job to job, dealing with loser love interests, and clinging to college friendships that may not work anymore. It's a lot like real life -- which is all apart of the show's charm. For those in their 20s, it can be a cautionary tale. For those of us well out of that age group, it makes us grateful those days are long gone.

Will you watch the next season of Girls?

Is it Monday afternoon? Well then! Clearly it's time to brew ourselves a cup of tea and look at Downton Abbey season 4 cast photos. Of course, it'll still be months and months before we see any of these scenes in action. (Why no, I'm not resentful at all, PBS!) But we can still enjoy teensy little glimpses of what's to come. And you know what else? Maybe I'll cut out some of these photos to make my very own Downton Abbey paper dolls so I can act out scenes of what I think happens in the next season. Because guess who's here? Aw yeah, Mary's two boyfriends, Sir Anthony Gillingham and Charles Blake. Plus, give it up for the third hottie of season 4, jazz musician Jack Ross. Ladies, your man candy has arrived.

Check out these sneak peeks at Downton and guess what they reveal about the next season.

It's the whole fam-damily and then some, all posed together like dominoes. Just tip Carson over and they'll all go falling down. Of course, it's hard not to notice the former characters who are no longer with us. Mrs. O'Brien -- a tear! Oh yeah, and also whats-his-name, Matthew, and Sybil.

Upbeat 'Glee' Season 5 Teaser Is a Tough Pill for Fans to Swallow (VIDEO)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 5 hours ago

The Glee season 5 premiere will be here before we know it. And Fox doesn't want us to forget that, so they've released a teaser entitled, "Once Again." Just like every year. Except this isn't every year. This year, the cast, crew, and Glee fans around the world are still mourning the loss of Cory Monteith ...

And for that reason, it is a bit jarring to see a Glee promo with the same light and liveliness and color that it had before. As Jezebel put it, it might rub some as "eerily chipper." But at the same time ... what did we expect?

Here's the clip if you haven't seen it yet ...

Okay, sure, it may be off-putting, weird, bizarre, or simply depressing to think about Glee's return being as "whoopdeedoo," carefree, spirited as this promo makes it seem. But it looks like this was meant as a reminder that Lea Michele & Co. are delivering Glee to us "once again," even in light of a traumatic situation. A reminder that life and Glee goes on. (As Cory probably would have wanted it to.)

Not that it still isn't hard for us to separate reality from fiction. And not that it isn't normal for fans to watch this and feel like something's missing, because it isn't somber in tone or even acknowledging Cory. But that will come too. In the meantime, there's no harm in knowing the next installment of Glee will be as entertaining as it's sure to be tearjerking at times.

What are your thoughts on the promo?

Aquí está lo que no puedo lidiar con: nada. Lo siento, soy sólo un caparazón de un ser humano ahora, porque la verdadera sangre temporada 6final casi me destruyó. Así que, sólo voy a acurrucarse en una bola y se mueren. Hablad entre vosotros. * Temblor * * Sob *

Lo siento, lo siento. Lo tiraré juntos el tiempo suficiente para hablar sobre los horrores de True Blood de esta noche... tal vez yo incluso lograrán tire una pequeña pizca de esperanza desde el fondo de mi alma torturada y deciden salir de la cama mañana por la mañana. TAL VEZ!! Pero no puedo decir con seguridad, porque se quema una vista horrible a los ojos...

Y que la vista (como usted probablemente sabe) es la vista de Eric Northman , estallando en llamas!!! (Hecho sólo ligeramente menos horrible por el fracción de segundo vistazo de Full-Frontal Alexander Skarsgard!) Ahora, concedido, que no sabemos seguro seguro seguro si Eric está muerto... larga historia corta, cuando Warlow SPOILER murió, aparentemente toda la sangre de Lilith que estaba permitiendo que los vampiros a camino de días secos en conjunto y Eric, que sólo pasó a ser en Suecia (oh, descarado Skarsgard!!) lectura desnudo en la nieve (oh, te Skarsgard descarado!), no sabes ni la mitad de loy así él quemó espontáneamente. Desnudo en la nieve. Aún así, me niego a creer que hemos visto lo último de él! Escritores de sangre verdaderas no es ningún tontos!! Tienen saber cuántos espectadores perderá si sale ASkars!! (Todos ellos, es mi suposición. Sin mencionar Meryl Streep).

De todos modos. Ni siquiera importa nada?? No realmente, pero supongo que hubo un par de otras novedades destacables: Sookie & Alcide son una pareja por fin!! Sam es alcalde de Bon Temps. Tarade mamá se siente mal por ser una mala madre! Nueva amenaza para todo el elenco: Vampiro/Zombies!!!

Echale un vistazo entre bastidores este clip para más información sobre Eric desnudo en la nieve:

Christina Hendricks Talks 'Mad Men' Season 7 and the Possibility of Season 8

vrijdag 16 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 17 hours ago

When Mad Men premiered, it seemed apparent that creator Matthew Weiner wanted to begin and end his story of Don Draper & Co. in the '60s. Still, we fans have looked for clues and remained hopeful that perhaps the show could go beyond 1969. Or at the very least, maybe Weiner could do something like split the final year of the turbulent decade into two seasons -- like what happened with the final installments of Twilight and Harry Potter -- so that we could enjoy both a season 7 and season 8? Hell, whatever it takes to get more Don on our DVRs, right?

But while no one has said season 7 -- currently in the works -- is definitely, finally the last season, it sounds like it probably is. And no one affiliated with the show is willing to fully own up to it just yet. At least that's what it sounds like judging from what Christina Hendricks recently shared with Access Hollywood ...

The hosts prodded her to say whether or not there would be a season 8, joking about how it probably would boil down to everyone asking for money, in an annoying nod to what happened in the contract negotiations that dragged on and on between season 4 and 5. And Christina explained:

I’m always throwing that out there, I want to do this job forever and ever and ever. But, I sadly believe that this is going to be our last season. ... I think Matthew Weiner, our creator, has a very specific story that he wants to tell. Knowing that you have an end, you can write up to that point, so it’s not left open-ended and I think it deserves a nice tie-up.

Sounds like she's referencing what Weiner himself has noted about how he's always known exactly how he wanted to end the series. I'd venture to guess that he always had a certain time span in mind, too. And that he's attached to the idea that it's a show that takes place in a very particular era, and taking the story into 1970 would mean going beyond that time. I also get the feeling he knows that he can only take his "specific story that he wants to tell" one more season.

Need further proof? He already began sounding a bit exasperated and tuckered out from the process and response to the show in the middle of season 6.

That said, I'm more and more doubtful that we'll see a season 8. But I guess that means we'll just have to savor the anticipation and airing of season 7 even more.

What are your thoughts on the possibilities of an eighth season?

'Glee' Season 5 Spoilers dan Fans algo que esperar

por Emily Abbate hace 1 hora

Con toda la tristeza que rodea la muerte de Cory Monteith, no ha habido espacio para mucho entusiasmo sobre la nueva temporada de Glee. Aún así, eso no significa que los fanáticos no esperando el regreso de sus estudiantes McKinley High favoritos (y recién graduados). Con poco más de un mes hasta el estreno de la temporada 5, 26 de septiembre, información sobre los primeros episodios del show está haciendo su camino en las Interwebs. Y déjame decirte, las cosas son fab bonito sonido.

¿No puede esperar hasta el mes de septiembre Premier a conseguir su dosis de Glee? Luego miren todo lo que sabemos sobre la temporada 5, hasta el momento:

1. Preparar unos Beatles: hemos sabido durante un tiempo ahora que los dos primeros episodios de la temporada 5 son dos partes tributo a los Beatles. El tributo ha sido en las obras durante los últimos cuatro años. ¿Canciones que espero escuchar? "Ayer" y "Todos You Need Is Love," seguro. Rumorea que Blaine tiene ese otro cubierto por nosotros. (!!!)

2. Kurt y Blaine atar el nudo: muy bien, eso es un poco las ilusiones de nuestro lado. Sin embargo, un fan de Glee, que recientemente visitó el set del programa dijo que vio lo que tal vez pudo haber sido un propuesta épicamente escenificada tendrá lugar. Sabes, uno donde Blaine pide Kurt casarme con él con lotes de canto y baile. Sí, sí, un montón de "tal vez" allí, pero Hola... esto podría ser enorme.

3. Hora de carnaval! Un fan de Twitter una foto desde el set de Glee engalanado como un carnaval. ¿Quién no ama un poco de algodón de azúcar? Montón de espacio para canciones fantásticas en el carnaval. ¿Tal vez un poco Katy Perry "Firework", para empezar?

4. Problemas adelante: Blake Jenner, quien interpreta a Ryder en Glee, dijo recientemente Wetpaint que hay algunos "problemas adolescentes buenas" adelante en los dos primeros episodios. Estoy esperando un poco de incomodidad sexual, una bebidas de algunos demasiados adultos y quizás algunos acné horrible para arrancar.

¿Esperan para temporada de Glee 5?

'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Spoilers Beg the Question -- Will We See Catelyn Stark Again?

AppId is over the quota
por Jill Baughman hace 1 hora

Hay algunos Game of Thrones Temporada 4 spoilers (potenciales) que son sólo... miedo. Y discutiendo si vamos a ver otra vez a Catelyn Stark o Robb Stark es uno de ellos.

Cualquiera que haya leído A tormenta de espadas sabe exactamente de qué estoy hablando. Los aficionados que son únicamente de sintonizar a la HBO show, bueno, hay sólo tanto relleno puedo escribir así que usted puede hacer clic a algo más para evitar los spoilers. Aquí hay un video de un perro jugando trae consigo mismo. Siempre es divertido que seguir vigilando este gatito petrificados del vacío. O Echale 22 perros que están a los perros.

Espero que aquellos que no han leído los libros han ido a la otra para el resto de nosotros puede especular si Catelyn o Robb volverá en la temporada 4. Los ventiladores se utilizan para esperando y rezando para el regreso de personajes muertos. Es decir, Eddard Stark está vivo en algún lugar, ¿verdad? ¿Khal Drogo hizo un cameo, él no puede hacerlo otra vez?

OMG ¿dilo con suficiente claridad todavía? SPOILERS adelante.

Para aquellos que se preguntan si Catelyn Stark volvería alguna vez a Game of Thrones, la respuesta es: una especie de! Robb, tristemente, lo más probable es que no aparecen en la temporada 4.

Como todo el mundo que ha visto el show/leer los libros es consciente, Catelyn Stark y su hijo Robb fueron asesinados durante la Boda roja. Tenía la garganta cortada y luego sus enemigos desnudaron de su cuerpo y la tiró a un río. Fue uno de los momentos más impactantes, increíblemente memorables en la temporada 3.

Pero luego hubo un giro al final del tercer libro que pocos lectores vieron venir. Si lo hiciste, estás mintiendo. Tres días más tarde, ella fue resucitada por Lord Beric Dondarrion (quien ha sido devuelto a la vida muchas veces). Al hacerlo, él realmente muere, que representa su séptima muerte.

Como Beric, Catelyn, que cambia el nombre de ella misma "Señora Stoneheart", sólo es capaz de curar parcialmente. Después de su resurrección, su piel es suave al tacto y parece cuajada de leche (hermosa) debido a las aguas del río. La mitad de su pelo es blanco y nervudo mientras la otra mitad es simplemente desaparecida. Ella tiene rasguños en su cara y hay todavía una enorme herida en el cuello, que hace muy difícil entenderla cuando habla.

¿Puedes imaginar siquiera el día de campo, que el Departamento de vestuario/maquillaje HBO tendrá con la señora Stoneheart?

De todos modos, asume comando de la Hermandad sin estandartes y bonita pierde mucho su mierda. Ella persigue a todos los que ella considera que están un traidor. Si alguien está asociada con el Freys, Boltons o Lannister, es colgado, sin importar la edad, sin importar si ni siquiera tenían algo que ver con la boda de rojo.

Fans no pueden ayudar pero me pregunto si la apariencia de Lady Stoneheart será la sorpresa final en la temporada 4. Va a ser fantástico verla cobran vida en la pantalla, y un resucitado Michelle Fairley vería tan badass (nos vamos a echar de menos!). Difícil de creer que tenemos que esperar un año entero para este camafeo, pero sólo podemos esperar nos pondremos a verla después de todo esto exasperante y tortuoso, pero divertido--anticipación!

¿Crees que Lady Stoneheart hará una aparición en Game of Thrones Temporada 4?

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 4 Spoilers Reveal if Joffrey Gets the Best of Margaery

woensdag 14 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Jill Baughman 5 hours ago

Can you believe that Game of Thrones season 3 wrapped up all the way back in June? Sadly, that means there's quite a long time to wait until spring of 2014 when season 4 premieres. What to do, what to DO?

Well, since the TV series is based on A Song of Ice and Fire, it's easy to figure out what we might be able to see in season 4. Though HBO took some creative license, they actually stuck to A Storm of Swords rather well in season 3. So what can we expect for one of the shining stars of that season, Margaery Tyrell, played by the lovely Natalie Dormer, who can rock a low-cut dress like none other?

Betrothed to the despicable, hated King Joffrey, it seemed that Margaery embodied everything GoT fans love to see in their heroines: She's beautiful, smart, savvy, kind, and has got Joffrey wrapped around her finger. What's in store for her next? Will Joffrey get the best of her?

BOOK SPOILERS about Margaery ahead. Beware!

Before we get to the book spoilers, in case you're interested, Natalie recently spoke to Allure about why this show is so damn popular. She said:

There’s the violence and the bloodletting and the honor. And then there’s the romance and the sex and the naked bodies. There are the costumes, and the coming-of-age stories for younger viewers. There are gay heroes and straight heroes. There’s feminism. And there’s dragons and supernatural shit going on. There’s magic and CGI for the geeks. There is literally something for everyone.

She sounds awesome, doesn't she? And she's right! Though her role is rather reduced in the latter half of A Storm of Swords, it's easy to imagine that HBO may try to build on what happens to her a little bit; she is just so damn likable.

Eventually she does get married to Joffrey, but he dies from poison while celebrating at their wedding. Petyr Baelish and her grandmother Lady Olenna were behind it, but because Margaery was drinking from the same chalice, it's easy to argue that she knew what was coming too.

... And that's kind of it for her role in A Storm of Swords. Hopefully there will be some amazing scenes between her and Queen Cersei, though that the HBO geniuses can come up with. Their passive-aggressive play is truly a pleasure to watch.

I mean: "If you ever call me 'sister' again, I'll have you strangled in your sleep." And you thought your mother-in-law was the she-devil.

Also, we may see part of the fourth book, A Feast for Crows, in the fourth season, when Margaery gets married to Joffrey's younger brother Tommen. Cersei of course isn't pleased and plots to get rid of Margaery and pretty much all the rest of the Tyrells. Cersei freaking out doing crazy shit while trying to protect her youngest son? Can't wait to see how that's going to go down!

Are you excited to see Joffrey and Margaery's wedding in season 4 of Game of Thrones?
