The bitch is back. Sarah Michelle Gellar has officially signed on to reprise her role as Kathryn Merteuil in NBC’s Cruel Intentions sequel, meaning that pilot just got a whole lot cooler. Gellar will star in the project, which comes from writers Jordan Ross and Lindsey Rosin and the original film’s writer/director Roger Kumble, serves as a follow-up to the 1999 movie. The series will follow Kathryn’s…
So it turns out the timeframe for Laura Palmer’s reunion with FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is a little more elastic than Twin Peaks creators David Lynch and Mark Frost might’ve hoped for. But there’s always one date that can be counted on by fans of the strangest, eeriest, campiest, damn-good-coffee-(and hot!)-est series in…
Someone needs to save The X-Files from itself. Okay, it’s not in any imminent danger of ending, as it has been in the past. The recently concluded six-episode miniseries posted strong ratings (though they trended downward), so there will likely be more episodes at some point. And the core of the show is still strong….
Last night’s “The X-Files”—the final episode of the six-episode “event series” that saw the 1993 show return for a swansong two decades later—was an abject mess. “My Struggle II,” written and directed by series creator Chris Carter, was riddled with weaknesses, both structurally and ideologically.

I’m surprised it took nearly two full days for the internet to get on this, but finally, one kind-hearted soul named 43eyes has set the silliest scene of last weekend’s The Walking Dead. It is somehow even better than you’d imagined. I prophesied this in my Walking Dead recap yesterday morning. However, guessing that someone…
Only a competing Republican debate could have messed this up for CBS — so luckily, it was the network who broadcast this week’s. The network swept the top 10 shows in the ratings, with the exception of The Walking Dead on AMC, which finished third with 13.7M viewers. But the other nine of the top…
TV comedies love callbacks, running jokes, and hidden “Easter eggs.” In this video, we explain the difference between those three devices — and how Comedy Central’s Broad City uses them all to make its fictional world weirder and more wonderful with every episode. Broad City is a hilarious, profane delight. Since its Comedy Central premiere…
