Hannibal Finale Photo Preview
As much as we wish it weren't so, Hannibal is airing its season finale this week... and what, at least currently, must be seen as the series finale as well, considering no outlet was found to rescue the series after NBC cancelled it. We've heard that there is still always the possibility Hannibal could return down the line, perhaps for a finale movie or short season, in the manner of Sherlock, but with no distributor connected to the show, it's all speculative.
For now though, Season 3 and the big Red Dragon storyline are wrapping up with the pointedly titled "The Wrath of the Lamb." Last week, Will came up with an audacious plan to draw in Francis Dolarhyde that backfired spectacularly for Frederic Chilton - or was it something Will darkly hoped would happen? Now, Will is going to try one last plan, this one involving Hannibal himself.

The Best Superhero Romances on TV
The good superhero stories are the ones that focus on more than just punching and colorful tights and explosions. We need to care about our heroes and their struggles in and out of the costume. Maybe that's why romance is such a major part of superhero TV shows these days. Whether it's Oliver Queen's abs having their way with half of Starling City in Arrow or poor Barry Allen pining after Iris West in The Flash, it's clear that heroes need love just like everyone else. And judging from the trailers for Supergirl, relationship drama is going to continue to be a major focus for these projects.
On that note, we've picked out our favorite superhero romances on TV, covering both live-action and animated projects. These are the romances that kept us tuning in every week and made our heroes that much more relatable.
Clint Hocking Returns to Ubisoft
Ubisoft has announced that Clint Hocking is returning to the company.
According to the Ubisoft blog, Hocking will join Ubisoft Toronto to work on unspecified projects but he made it clear he is not working on the next Splinter Cell.
“When I stopped working on Splinter Cell after Chaos Theory,” Hocking said, “the honest truth is I didn’t think I could make a better one.”
“I feel like I had made the very best Splinter Cell I could ever make and the best thing for me to do for Ubisoft and for Splinter Cell fans was to hand it off and let someone else try to figure out how to make that game differently or better and bring a new vision and a new flavor to it. Maybe one day, 5 or even 10 years from now, it will be the right time and the right place for me to make another Splinter Cell game, but that time is not now.”
