Back To Black (Mirror): Will Charlie Brooker Write A 'San Junipero' Sequel For 'Black Mirror'?
When you think of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, you hardly think of romance and rainbows, do you? That being said, there was one episode in Netflix's revamped Season 3 that threw the substantial instruction manual out the window and download itself into a special place in our hearts. With its '80s soundtrack and feel-good vibes, "San Junipero" was a rare happy ending in the world of pig f*cking and hidden pedophiles. However, with the whole premise being about death and life after death, it was still equally macabre in its own #BlackMirror way.

A Whole 'World' Of Pain: 'Westworld' Season 2 Promises A Huge Bloodbath
Saddle up for a round in O.K. Corral, because Westworld Season 2 is sticking on its spurs for another trip to the violent delights of HBO's robotic romp. Given the way in which Season 1 rounded off with that spectacular moonlit massacre, it is hard to see how showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy will top year one, but thankfully, it sounds like they will be trying their best.

This Could Be A Case For Mulder And Worry: Gillian Anderson Is Done With 'The X-Files' After Season 11
As we head into a unknown fate for Fox's The X-Files, it looks like it could be all change for Chris Carter's long-running sci-fi spectacular. With a new trailer for Season 11 having just dropped, cult fandom can once again see Fox Mulder and Dana Scully take on more tales of the unexpected. Coming off the back of that long-awaited Season 10 revival, the next installment will undoubtedly decide the future of the show. The truth (and at least another season) is out there, however, if/when #TheXFiles returns, it will be without one of its leading stars.

Death Is Only The Beginning: What Does That 'Westworld' Twist Mean Moving Forward?
We have literally blown our tiny little robotic minds, thanks #Westworld. Every great series has a Red Wedding moment, and the seventh episode of #HBO's robotic royale may just have had its own. The specter of death hung over "Trompe L'Oeil" as we delved into the backstory of poor Bernard Lowe and watched his world unravel. In true Westworld fashion, these violent delights had violent ends.

The Wild, Wild, Best: 10 Shows Like 'Westworld' You Have To Watch Next!
Yee-haw, it is robots vs. dragons as #HBO's #Westworld sets itself apart from #GameofThrones as our latest TV addiction. Dubbed at the new GoT, Westworld couldn't be more different from the ice and fire epic if it tried. Joining the network's diverse back-catalog, the show finds itself sitting pretty with the ratings, and now that is has been commissioned for a second season, it is a safe bet that we will get to see Dolores do a barn dance again.

Mum's The Word: Does Thandie Newton Play Tessa Thompson's Mother On 'Westworld'?
It may have taken six episodes of #HBO's #Westworld for Tessa Thompson to turn up as Delos Board Executive Charlotte Hale, but the character promises to play a major part in the final four episodes. However, is Thompson really just a boring board member, or could there be something more to the #Creed actresses role? I, for one, certainly think so — this is Westworld, after all.

Back To Black: Continuing The William Is The Man In Black Theory From Westworld!
Time to stick on that tin foil-fedora, because it is back down to #Westworld for your weekly head-scratcher of WTF (What — Teddy Flood?). While the internet STILL ponders multiple timeline theories, and true identities of the #ManInBlack, the case for it all being true is stronger than ever. I have already highlighted the theory on how mild-mannered William could be the infamous Man in Black here:
