When HISTORY first announced that Mark Hamill was joining the cast of season 2 of Knightfall, we were of course intrigued. Who could he be playing in such a series? Would he have a sword? Hamill's character Talus happens to be a former Templar Knight, one who doesn't quite get along with series star Tom […]
Galactic treasure Mark Hamill will be stopping by Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, and we've got a pretty good idea of what he'll be talking about during the visit. Mostly because Hamill posted about it: TONIGHT- I'll be on @jimmykimmel Live talking about @KnightfallShow ⚔️ (10pm @HISTORY this Monday, March 25th) along with @SenKamalaHarris😍, just a few […]
Katheryn Winnick, actress behind our warrior queen Lagertha from HISTORY's Vikings, has some thoughts about the 6th (and reportedly final) season of the series, including the end for her character. While talk of the series makes >this< reporter strangely emotional, we are indeed comforted by the notion that series creator and sole writer Michael Hirst hasn't […]
The last two episodes of TNT's bone-chilling mini-series I Am the Night have been particularly illuminating, increasingly disturbing and eerily captivating. Jay (Chris Pine) and Fauna (India Eisley) begin working together to uncover George Hodel's (Jefferson Mays) deepest and darkest secrets. They find themselves in grave danger, the closer they get to the truth. While […]
Last night, HISTORY delivered an epic season 5 finale of their drama series Vikings, and we're so ready for more! Although it does appear that season 6 of the Michael Hirst-solely written series will be the final, the teaser released at the end of "Ragnarok" pleases Odin. HISTORY did not announce a release date for […]
Tonight, the season 5 raid ends for HISTORY's Vikings, and we've got a tease of a pretty epic battle coming. If there is ONE thing the series does tremendously well, it's the fight scenes and large-scale battles. Of course Michael Hirst and co do most things with Vikings tremendously well, so it should be expected that the […]
Last year, we learned that Former Jedi Knight Mark Hamill would be joining HISTORY's Knightfall series as a veteran Templar Knight alongside series star Tom Cullen. There was that great first image of Hamill as character Talus: HISTORY just released a teaser that will air tonight during Vikings, and it gives us a bit more of what we can […]
We adore Katheryn Winnick as the HISTORY's Vikings character Lagertha, and season 5 of the historical drama has been an experience, so say the least. The cast and crew of the show have often spoken about each other as family, something we've seen first-hand during several years in pressrooms and via interviews. Turns out, at least in Winnick's […]
(Deposed) Queen Lagertha of Kattegat has certainly seen her fair share of hardships across the 5 seasons of HISTORY's Vikings. She's born children, lost a daughter, fought, lost and won wars, avenged herself against an abuser, removed a usurper, and forged unlikely alliances across multiple continents. She's buried (or burned, as the case may be) all […]
HISTORY latest series Project Blue Book is the latest in the science-fiction family of shows that revolves around a partner team setting out to uncover unexplained mysteries. The team will of course be comprised of one skeptic and another individual who is more open to alternative explanations. Chris Carter's X-Files is of course the benchmark at this […]
Yeah sure, everyone is running their Vikings season 6 headline that "OH NO HISTORY HAS CANCELLED THE SHOW!" but thats rather more alarmist than it should be. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a representative for HISTORY confirmed to them that yes, the series is expected to end with season 6. AND- that maybe there will be […]
"Television is becoming a collage – there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different." – David Hockney There was a time when working for television was labelled a "demotion," a professional death sentence for movie stars whose careers were on […]
