One ‘Star Wars Rebels’ Character Survives Through ‘Return of the Jedi’
For as long as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Rebels have been considered canon, fans have an unease with prequel-era characters that don’t show up in the original films.

CBS Still Won’t Commit to ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Fall Premiere
Star Trek: Discovery has been making plenty of progress with casting and production, though fans are still a bit unnerved by the change in schedule from January, to May, to fall. Even now, CBS brass won’t nail down a fall premiere window, saying “we’re not tied to any specific release date.”
Peter Capaldi Shot His ‘Doctor Who’ Exit … Before the Christmas Special?

The ‘LOST’ Finale Almost Involved a Giant Volcano Battle
Love or hate the final seasons of LOST, there’s little denying the mythology got a bit … abstract toward the end, between light-filled island corks and temples.

Half the ‘Girls’ Won’t Appear in the Series Finale

Did ‘SNL’ Borrow Louis C.K.’s Clown Sketch From Tig Notaro?
Forty-two seasons of comedy are bound to see SNL traversing some familiar ground, but a recent sketch from this past weekend’s Louis C.K. return may stepped over the line. Tig Notaro fans are accusing a pre-recorded clown sketch of aping one of the comedian’s short films, subbing in C.K. for her.
‘Gilmore Girls’ Stars Question the Need for Another Revival
