Agent Carter Actress Talks Bringing Mrs. Jarvis to Life
Of the many mysteries that were pivotal to Agent Carter: Season 1, the one that many fans attached to the most was, "Who is Mrs. Jarvis?" Edwin Jarvis's (James D'Arcy) mystery wife who he adored so much was mentioned on numerous occasions throughout the show's first season, and viewers will finally meet her in Season 2.
Lotte Verbeek was cast in the role following her arc as Geillis Duncan on Outlander, and she talked to IGN at ABC's Television Critics Association party about taking two parts that had a lot of fan anticipation.

Jhin, the Virtuoso, Is League of Legends’ Next Champion
League of Legends champion Jhin is a slow-firing perfectionist who does major damage. He's also the next addition to the game's roster.
Jhin is League’s slowest marksman yet, according to Riot Games' announcement. Even going so far as needing to reload every four shots. That fourth shot, however, is a guaranteed critical hit that does even more bonus damage depending on the target's missing health.
Jhin can also lay mines, mark enemies, toss a bouncing grenade, and damage groups of enemies in a line. Like his first ability, most of these skills are based on a factor of four — with the fourth shot, or fourth target of each taking extra damage.
Shield Creator on the “Farce Noir” of Amazon’s Mad Dogs
On January 22nd, Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Terriers) takes us down to tropical Belize for an edge-of-your-seat survival series on Amazon - Mad Dogs.
Starring Ben Chaplin, Michael Imperioli, Romany Malco, and Steve Zahn, Mad Dogs follows four old friends on a vacation to paradise that turns into a trip from hell. Dangerous drug dealers, killer cats, and voodoo are not what these hapless, middle aged college buddies had in mind when they headed to the beach to visit their rich, retired-young friend (Billy Zane).
As an American remake of a hit U.K. series, this Mad Dogs is actually a collaboration between Ryan and original show creator, Cris Cole. A creative endeavor that both thought would be worthwhile if it "could become its own unique, original thing," as Ryan put it at the TCA Winter Press Tour, where he, Cole, and the cast appeared for a Q&A session.

Wrestling Wrap Up: Brock Lesnar Returns, Demolishes Everyone
Say what you will about last night's RAW - and I'll most definitely say what I will about last night's RAW - it would have made a great go-home edition for the Rumble. At least that final segment, which was really Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens all gussied up, dolled up, as a "One vs. All" affair. Reigns and Owens gave us a great match, Brock hit the ring, annihilated everyone, then F-5'd Roman and - "OH MY GOD! BROCK TOOK OUT THE CHAMP! SEE YOU AT THE RUMBLE!!!! THAT'S STILL...UM...TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!"
