Game of Thrones: “Kill the Boy” Photo Preview
Daenerys was already aware the Sons of the Harpy were a threat to her and to Meereen, but last week's episode proved they are a force that needs reckoned with. "Kill the Boy" will see her making difficult decisions – not that she gets to make any other kind. Dany's not the only character struggling either. Brienne is still determined to protect Sansa even though the Stark has already refused her aid.
Besides, Sansa is sort of where she wants to be. She's in Winterfell, and even though she has to deal with the Boltons (and Ramsay is a problem), she has a fighting chance. Photos from the episode (see the below gallery) show she's spending more time with her soon-to-be husband.
Arrow’s Stephen Amell on Potential Constantine Crossover
During a panel at the Wizard World Philly convention this weekend, Arrow star Stephen Amell confirmed he had been in talks to appear on the NBC show Constantine, which is also based on a DC Comics character. Constantine was cancelled on Friday, but with Warner Bros., who produce all the DC Comics series, attempting to find a new home for the show, Amell says a crossover is still possible.
"There is an opportunity for interconnectivity with any DC television show that exists. Like, as an example, yesterday Constantine was cancelled. I know, it’s brutal… It’s a good show, and it should come back. And it may come back, like there are various platforms where it could come back.” Amell noted during his panel, ComicBook.com reports.
Did Tarantino Ever Find Out Who Leaked Hateful Eight Script?
Director Quentin Tarantino's murder mystery The Hateful Eight has become a strange meta-version of itself.
Back in 2014, the first draft of his script for the film was leaked online and available to download as a PDF through Gawker. In response to the leak, Tarantino attempted to sue Gawker and announced The Hateful Eight's cancellation.
EW reports that a year later, Tarantino admits suing the online media conglomerate wasn't necessarily the best idea.

Dear Nintendo: Splatoon Needs a Voice Chat Option
After playing Nintendo's first round of public, online Splatoon beta matches, I'm left both indulged and annoyed. Splatoon is not only an exclusive first-party Nintendo title, but one of its rare ventures into shooters; in particular, the world of online shooters. In the hour-long beta, I fought for inked dominance with my team of paint-wielding squids, and I sat alone on my couch wishing I could strategize: holding down a key point of the map until I arrived, getting an alert from a player who needed support elsewhere, or asking about the next round of weapon coordination. According to Nintendo, it's not supporting voice chat for Splatoon.

Check Out the Action-Packed Trailer for The Strain: Season 2
Following a couple of brief teasers, the first trailer for Season 2 of FX's The Strain has now been released, and features one very clear message: "Fight or Die."
The action-packed footage shows the band of survivors, led by the CDC's Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), as they take up arms against the neo-vampires that have come to New York City and struggle to find "a weak leak in the vampire biology" to combat the virus. Meanwhile, we get our first glimpse at newcomer Councilwoman Justine Feraldo (Samantha Mathis), who chooses all-out war against the vamps, declaring, “We’re going to take this island back one block at a time." However, that's not as easy as it sounds now that the vampires have totally overrun Manhattan, not to mention the fact that their Master is about to undergo some kind of powerful transformation.
7 Notable Game of Thrones Religions
Warning: Spoilers for all of Game of Thrones through the Season 6 premiere, "The Red Woman," follow.
No, there isn't actually a "God of T**s and Wine" (that we know of), but still, with Game of Thrones back for Season 6, we thought it would be a good time to take an updated look at who the proud, pious people on Game of Thrones actually do worship.
Now that Cersei's in a dire situation with a powerful faction of religious fundamentalists in King's Landing, religion's become a big theme on the series. Tyrion recently spotted a Red Priest in Meereen, Arya's been rendered blind by the mysterious magic hidden within the House of Black and White, and Melisandre looks to be a centuries-old witch of some sort.
