The Magicians Wants You To Know It’s Messing With You
The Magicians isn't going to wait long to resolve its big Season 1 cliffhanger, but expect the Syfy fantasy series to take you on one heck of an unexpected journey from there.
Full spoilers for The Magicians: Season 1 continue below.
We visited the Season 2 set of The Magicians back in October when the show was filming its eighth episode, and already the stars were incredibly buttoned up on the many plot twists and turns had taken to get to that point. Considering the majority of the cast whose characters we saw die in the Season 1 finale were working on set that day, it's safe to say that all hope is not lost for our favorite group of Brakebills magicians, but co-showrunner John McNamara teased that the question of whether Quentin & co survive is just the tip of the iceberg.
Riverdale Cast Preview a Dark, Dreamy and Dangerous Archie Revamp
It was a rainy, atmospheric day in Vancouver when I visited the set of Riverdale this past fall...
Okay, granted, the rain wasn't a shock given the city the series films in, but the mood felt perfect for a visit to this particular show, which debuts this Thursday. The CW’s new series -- from executive producers Greg Berlanti (The Flash, Supergirl) and Archie Comics' Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, with the latter serving as showrunner -- takes the iconic Archie characters and puts them into a world filled with sex and murder, with the mysterious death of Riverdale High student Jason Blossom upending everyone’s lives and the secrets they’ve been keeping.
The majority of the interviews I conducted during my visit were inside the awesome-looking set for Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, which expertly replicates a 1950s diner, but is often lit in a dreamy, semi-menacing manner, which is a good example of Riverdale’s intriguing overall vibe.

Project Scorpio Is a “Full Blown Next-Gen Machine” Says Dev
An Xbox developer has spoken out on the rumoured power of upcoming console upgrade, Project Scorpio.
Creator of Ori and the Blind Forest, Thomas Mahler took to NeoGAF to answer a question about whether Scorpio is a PS4 Pro style console update, or a whole new generation of Xbox console. His answer - it's sort of both:
"Scorpio isn't just a half-assed upgrade (which the PS4 Pro kinda is...), but a full blown next-gen machine that's just backwards-compatible to your current library."
That's a little outside of the company line - Microsoft has previously downplayed the idea of a separation between its consoles, even saying that Scorpio will put an end to the idea of console generations altogether.
Pokemon Bank Now Compatible With Sun and Moon
You can now transfer your favorite old Pokemon to Sun and Moon using the Pokemon Bank.
Well, maybe not ALL your favorite old Pokemon, but any Pokemon from Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, X, Y, or the 3DS Virtual Console versions of Red, Blue, and Yellow, can now be transferred.
Nintendo is also giving away Mewnium Z crystals to Pokemon Bank users. That's the Z-crystal for Mew, in case you were wondering. Nintendo points out the Z-crystal only works in Pokemon Sun and Moon, but you have until October 2 to claim your Mewnium Z, so if you don't have Sun or Moon, there's plenty of time to get it.
Pokemon Bank compatibility.
This Year’s Biggest Oscar Snubs
Another year's Academy Awards nominations announcement, another round of films and artists who didn't make the cut.
While this year's crop of nominees managed to avoid another embarrassing #OscarsSoWhite scenario of oversights and omissions, there were nevertheless some very notable snubs and exclusions. Here are some of the biggest ones:.
Yes, the Fox-Marvel superhero satire was always a huge long shot -- as explained at length here -- but the fact that Deadpool scored a Producers Guild of America nomination as one of 2016's best movies certainly seemed like it had a chance. Ditto its Golden Globe, Writers Guild and Directors Guild nominations. But, alas, the merc with a mouth's movie didn't score a single nomination in any Oscar category.
X-Men TV Pilot From Bryan Singer Ordered by FOX
Expect more mutants on the small screen, because FOX has ordered an X-Men TV pilot from director Bryan Singer and Burn Notice's Matt Nix.
Variety reports the X-Men show will follow the parents of a mutant. With a hostile government in place, they will join an underground resistance to keep their family alive and together.
Nix is set to write the pilot, and he recently chatted with IGN about the X-Men show's connection to the movies. If the untitled series is picked up, it would join Legion as the second X-Men show on the air.
