There’s going to be a lot of talk going on in Grey’s Anatomy fan circles over the manner of Alex Karev’s exit from the show. His act of leaving Jo for Izzie will definitely count as one of the worst things he’s done, while opening up discussion over other characters’ departures. Due to this, it’s worth taking a look at how the audience felt when previous main characters took their leave, and we’ve compiled just the list for this....

The modern incarnation of Doctor Who first appeared on the BBC back in 2005, with Christopher Eccleston taking on the role of the Doctor, and Russell T. Davies serving as showrunner. Since then, there have been nine seasons of the show, with four different actors in the role of the Doctor (Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith and the current Doctor, Peter Capaldi), and just one other showrunner, Steven Moffat, who has been in place since 2010....
Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi will star in an adaptation of David Copperfield from Veep creator Armando Iannucci. This will be their first time working together since the final season of Iannucci’s award-winning television series The Thick of It. Known for his dry wit and overt political commentary, Academy Award-nominated writer Armando Iannucci is in the process of adapting Charles Dickens’ classic novel David Copperfield, and Peter Capaldi will star as the penniless, yet hopeful, Mr....
Marvel Cinematic Universe stalwarts Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo, who plays Tony Stark/Iron Man and Bruce Banner/Hulk respectively, celebrate National Selfie day with a snap of the two of them on the set of Avengers: Infinity War. The actors, who are dubbed the “Science Bros” by the Marvel fandom due to their smart and geeky on-screen characters in the MCU films, are only two of the countless characters that will be converging on the third Avengers movie in an effort to stop super-villain, Thanos (Josh Brolin) in his quest to collect all six Infinity Stones....
Screen Rant: Dude, I was just talking the other day with a buddy of mine about how it is getting more and more difficult to find original ideas. Screen Rant: I agree. Duncan Jones: The thing, in my experience, studios used to have an independent arm, you know, like Fox Searchlight things like that where they would focus on . . . the big studio would make big franchises, or they do the reboot so the remakes of the you know whatever… And then the Independent arms would kind of come up with the original material and if it hit then they would take it to the big studio and the big studio would kind of run with it....
Cinematic universes are all the rage, with various studios trying to expand the value of their properties by making them part of a larger interconnected story with other films. When handled well, this adds more depth to the individual stories and makes them appear to take place in a large, vibrant world; when handled poorly, the films seem weighed down by unnecessary universe building. Universal is hoping to add another universe in the “handled well” column with the creation of a shared universe based on books by Jason Bourne author Robert Ludlum....
EA will be happy with November’s Star Wars: Battlefront release, as analysts like Wedbush Securities’ Michael Pachter have revealed that the game has sold in excess of 13 million copies. In October, EA expected the game to hit the 13 million mark by March 31, but analysts claim it has far surpassed that in a shorter period of time. The sales will primarily be attributed to the holiday rush, as the NPD Group reported Battlefront was only behind Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in retail units sold in the U....
A new featurette features Marvel Studios’ actresses reflecting on working on Avengers: Endgame’s famous A-Force scene. All Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes gather together for a massive final battle against Thanos (Josh Brolin). The set piece was chock-full of iconic moments, including Captain America (Chris Evans) finally uttering the words “Avengers Assemble” and Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) “I am Iron Man” line. But another favorite bit from the sequence was the gathering of all female heroes as the back Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) up against the Mad Titan’s minions....
The European Union on Thursday night unveiled more details about its plans to curb anti-competitive practices among big tech companies. With the rules of the new Digital Markets Act (DMA), Europe wants all major messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and iMessage to have an interoperable platform. The DMA targets companies that have at least 45 million monthly active end users or 10,000 annually active corporate users in Europe. While the antitrust legislation was already expected to have impacts on how the App Store operates, it may also cause changes to Apple’s iMessage....
Family Guy has released a funny compilation video tribute to its late voice cast member Adam West. The entertainment world was saddened by the loss last month of West, who passed on June 9 at the age of 88. Of course, West’s most famous role was that of Bruce Wayne/Batman on the iconic 1960s television series Batman, which ran from 1966-1968, but lived on through syndication. And while West made a name for himself in the live-action realm playing the Caped Crusader, animated fans came to love him as the voice of Mayor Adam West in creator Seth MacFarlane’s hilarious TV comedy Family Guy beginning in season 2 in 2000 in the episode Fifteen Minutes of Shame....
The Final Fantasy series is made up of numerous different RPGs, which means that each character’s abilities can be broken down into numbers. It doesn’t matter whether the game is an action RPG, a strategy RPG, or a turn-based RPG, as it all still breaks down to stats being bashed against each other. The protagonist in each Final Fantasy title is usually the strongest member of the party, which makes sense, considering that they are the hero of the game and the events of the story are usually based around them....
“So no one told you life was going to be this way. Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA.” To make matters worse your favorite TV show Friends has a million plot holes. As matter of fact, it has more plot holes than a Joey Tribbiani movie. The sitcom Friends quickly became one of the most popular shows on TV during its time and is still very popular today....
Friends From College, the comedy series from Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, has now premiered its second season on Netflix today. Despite boasting a stellar cast and an impressive production pedigree (Stoller directed comedies Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek and the Neighbors movies), critics and audiences reacted poorly to the largely unlikable and unsympathetic behavior of the group of college friends approaching middle age and running into relationship turmoil....
SPOILERS ahead for those not caught up on Game of Thrones – The sixth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones moved all of the show’s final pieces into place in some major ways, not only ending the season with Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) on the Iron Throne and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) being renamed the King in the North, but also finally setting Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and her army on their journey to Westeros....
HBO Max is moving forward with a Gossip Girl spinoff. Based on the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, the teen drama originally aired on the CW from 2007-12. Garnering high ratings for the network, Gossip Girl boosted the careers of Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, and Penn Badgley.

Halloween (2018) is the latest film to receive the Honest Trailers treatment. The Halloween franchise has released 11 films over the past 40 years, the latest being the David Gordon Green-directed Halloween. Unlike other sequels, Halloween was unique since it retconned everything besides the first film, and brought back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode with John Carpenter as the composer. While most of the Halloween sequels weren’t very well-received, last year’s Halloween got mostly positive reviews and the film was even certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, the first time that had happened for a Halloween movie since 1978....
Here’s our ranking of every Doctor’s debut season in Doctor Who since the show returned in 2005. Every new actor to be given the honor of portraying Doctor Who’s iconic titular Time Lord has brought a new flavor to the role and, with such a feverish and passionate following looking on, it’s important to make a good impression. Some actors take a few episodes to settle into the part, others have started strongly only to falter over time, while a talented few have managed to be consistently brilliant throughout their tenure....
Early Man is the latest feature film from Aardman Animation, the studio behind such stop-motion classics as Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep and more, but its post-credits moment goes much further back than even A Grand Day Out. Directed by Nick Park, the film is set in a fantastical era where dinosaurs and woolly mammoths roam alongside early humans. When a neighboring Bronze Age city comes to claim the land belonging to a tribe of Stone Age cavemen, it falls to Dug (Eddie Redmayne) to save his home from the evil Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston)....
With battle royale games being all the rage right now, Ubisoft has formally shut down any hopes of this mode making into Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands in the foreseeable future. The sprawling backdrop of Wildlands and its impressive array of weaponry makes it seem like the perfect place to install a blood-filled battle royale mode where players can fight to the death to leave just one man standing. Sadly, it seems that it isn’t as easy as just dumping a bunch of characters out of a plane and putting them in your crosshairs....
