‘Supernatural’ Season 15: Preview of ‘Last Holiday’; First Look at ‘Gimme Shelter’

The long-running CW’s “Supernatural” series is all set to return for the final season with a standalone episode – “Last Holiday” on October 8, 2020.

And the stars – Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have teased the fans with tidbits on what to expect from the show, which went on hiatus amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, when it airs the final seven new installments from Thursday.

The actors have revealed that the titles of the upcoming episodes have “a lot of meanings” especially the title of the very first episode to be aired may suggest that this be the last they spend together.

“It’s like the last breath you take before you’re about to take your final sprint or something,” Padalecki said in an interview with Variety. “Strangely, it’s a serendipitous welcome back to the final seven episodes because it’s sort of a chance to go, ‘All right, everybody take a deep breath, let’s laugh a little bit, let’s see the boys allow someone to give them some breaks.’”

Ackles added that “We will see that episode not only as an homage to the holidays that the boys get to go through and had to miss, but even the bunker that’s become their home [and] how little Sam and Dean have asked for other things or gratitude. It’s a chance for the boys to enjoy this home that’s given them so much.”

He also said “I think it’s probably one of those rare moments in the course of the show where we get to see the boys kick their shoes off, put their feet up and pat each other on the back and say, ‘Job well done’. But in true Supernatural fashion, it doesn’t last for long and we’ve got to get back to work.”

First preview images of another episode of final season “Gimme Shelter” has also been released, which shows the Winchester brothers going in search of a friendly face, while Castiel and Jack are seen flashing badges. The episode also sees Emily Swallow returning as Amara, God’s sister.

The ‘Masked Singer’ Season 4 Star Unmasks Himself in Strangest Reveal

First time ever in the history of the “Masked Singer,” the celebrity did the unmasking themselves, on the second episode of the Season 4, leaving every single person in the world in utter shock.

And the celebrity was none other than the Oscar and Razzie-nominated actor – Mickey Rourke.

Rourke, who has been performing as the Gremlin, was the second performer to leave “The Masked Singer” in Season 4, as his furry, hot costume might be one of the reasons to the premature exit.

“Dammit, it’s hot, I’m taking it off,” Rourke said, before taking off his mask, right after performing, much to the surprise of the show’s panelists and host Nick Cannon.

“Wait, Gremlin, what are you doing?” hollered host Nick Cannon, after Rourke declared that it was “too damn hot” and proceeded to behead himself right then and there. “What’s happening? The Gremlin’s telling me he wants to take this [headpiece] off! Gremlin, you can’t do that! That’s not part of the show! … Men in Black, I need some help! We’ve lost control. It’s the Gremlin’s show!”

“No one has ever done this!” noted judge Nicole Scherzinger.

The Panelist was not able to give their final guesses, as Rourke took off his mask, even before the show got to that point. However, panelist Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg correctly guessed him even earlier.

Rourke-as-the-Gremlin performed Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me,” which he dedicated to his friend –Willy DeVille, a musician who died in 2009. “It meant a lot because this song was sung by one of my best friends ever, Willy DeVille,” he said. “Willy passed away a long time ago and I’ve missed him for a long time. I think the other night for some reason Willy sent me this song.”

Rourke opted not to do any press regarding his exit, further leaving all involved baffled. Asked on the show by Cannon why he wanted to do “The Masked Singer,” Rourke said, “I was in the neighborhood. I like the show, I watched four episodes and they asked if I’d be interested so I watched from the very beginning and all that shit.”

If you want a hot clue to finding my identity, just look into stocks and bonds.

Last week, in the “Masked Singer” Season 4 premiere episode, the fire-breathing Dragon was revealed to be none other than 12-time Grammy nominee Busta Rhymes.

‘NCIS’ Season 18 To Return Mid-November: Nicholas Torres’s Family & Past Storyline; More of Gibbs & Torres Together

The most popular “NCIS” series star Wilmer Valderrama has teased the fans about his character Nicholas Torres’s fate in the Season 18, and that the upcoming season, which will probably be back by mid-November, will get to see more about who he actually is.

Talking about getting back to work on the sets, the actor said that the upcoming storyline for his character will be focus more of his upbringing, and also give the audience the reason to why Torres is the way he is.

“We’re going to be finding out so much more about his past this season. This season is going to really focus a lot on where he really came from, what was his upbringing and his family, so we’re going to get learn a little bit more about his family since Torres has been such a mystery to the audience for the last four years,” Valderrama told TVInsider.

“It’s going to be fun to peel some of the layers off and really give the audience a little bit more justification of why he is the way he is. That excites me because as an actor, that’s what you want. You want to play those layers. You want to play the peeling of those layers and become more vulnerable because that’s what brings you closer to the other characters,” he added.

Valderrama said that his character Torres has realized that he had a lot more in common with Gibbs, and “In the last season, you saw a lot of them come together as the veteran wolf coming in with the young wolf and you’re going to see that play out a lot this season, how Gibbs is going to seem a little bit and feel a little bit responsible for the restructuring of Torres’ morality. He’s going to be a major influence in how he evolves as a leader, and that’s what’s going to be really fun to watch is just seeing Torres boycott that, “I’m only here part-time,” but really, internally, he knows he’s learned to make them the family he never really had.”

“NCIS” is among the first major network shows to have returned to the sets, after the worldwide shut down due to COVID-19, which the actor claimed to be a part of a learning curve. He added that there are so many protocols and guidelines which are really necessary at a time like this.

According to Valderrama, if everything goes as per the plan, new episodes of “NCIS” will be back by mid-November. However, there is no official date set as of now.

Watch The All New Final Trailer of Sarah Paulson’s ‘Ratched’

Netflix has released the final trailer of the upcoming series “Ratched,” the prequel to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” starring Sarah Paulson.

Judging by the trailer, the latest series could possibly be one of Ryan Murphy’s most terrifying till date, which revolves around the origin story of one of the most iconic characters – the asylum nurse and infamous villain Mildred Ratched.

Set in the 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind. On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning and as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, Mildred’s stylish exterior belies a growing darkness that has long been smoldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born.

The trailer sees the introduction of the concept of lobotomies, a major plot point in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” questioning whether it is playing God to call one feeling “right” and another “wrong.” The show delves a little deeper into the character of nurse Ratched than the book and film, as Paulson reveals in the voiceover that she was taken away from her parents when she was very young.

In a chilling monologue, Paulson says: “The doctors and nurses here, they want to give you hope that one day you can leave here. But you deserve someone to show you mercy… how different I would be if someone had.”

Sharon Stone is once again seen with a monkey on her shoulder, as she plays the equally eccentric character Lenore Osgood. The cast also includes Cynthia Nixon as Gwendolyn Briggs, Judy Davis as Nurse Betsy Bucket, Jon Jon Briones as Dr. Richard Hanover, Finn Wittrock as Edmund Tolleson, Charlie Carver as Huck, Alice Englert as Dolly, Amanda Plummer as Louise, Sophie Okonedo as Charlotte Wells, Corey Stoll as Charles Wainwright, Brandon Flynn as Henry Osgood, Annie Starke as Lily Cartwright and Vincent D’Onofrio as Gov. George Wilburn.

“Ratched” will premiere on Netflix on Friday, September 18, 2020.

Russia’s COVID-19 Vaccine Sputnik V: First Batch Released For Public

The first batch of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine has been released for the public, with plans for regional deliveries in the near future.

As per the information from the Russian Health Ministry, the vaccine against coronavirus, developed by Russia’s Gamaleya National Research Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), has cleared the quality tests and has been released for civil circulation.

“The first batch of the ‘Gam-COVID-Vac’ (Sputnik V) vaccine for the prevention of the new coronavirus infection, developed by the Gamaleya National Research Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Ministry of Health of Russia, has passed the necessary quality tests in the laboratories of Roszdravnadzor (medical device regulator) and has been released into civil circulation,” the ministry said in a statement.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has expressed hope to vaccinate a majority of the Russian capital’s residents against the coronavirus within several months.

Sputnik V vaccine was the first vaccine against COVID-19, registered by the Russian Health Ministry on August 11, 2020. Named as homage to the world’s first artificial Earth satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, Sputnik V is actually a recombinant adenovirus vaccine – which uses harmless adenovirus, a group of common cold viruses, tweaked to contain the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. This gives the immune system the chance to recognize and respond to the virus, without the risk of getting sick.

If the mass vaccination plan of Russia goes successfully as planned, the country will see the end of COVID-19 by next summer. Russia is also expected to complete early-stage trails on a second potential vaccine against the deadly coronavirus this month.

Russia is also in the talks with India, “on different levels” about cooperation that may include “supplies, co-development and co-production” of Sputnik V. Russia has also shared “comprehensive data” on the vaccine’s safety with the Indian government.

Lucifer Season 5B: Ep 13 – “A Little Harmless Stalking” Will Be A Big Linda Episode

When “Lucifer” comes back again with the second part of “Season 5,” there will be a big Linda episode, in which fans will get to see a total new side of her character, in a deep emotional level.

Richard Speight Jr., the director of the episode “A Little Harmless Stalking” claimed that the particular installment will revolve around the fan favorite character Dr. Linda Martin, and that it will a “powerful episode on several levels.

“My second episode teaches a lot on Rachael Harris’ character, Dr. Linda. She plays very heavy in my episode, which, by the way, was a real treat, because she’s a powerhouse actress and funny as all get out, so that was a delight. So much of my episode really centers around her. There of course is always the powerhouse wizardry of Tom Ellis and his storyline, but my episode specifically wasn’t hammering home that through-line,” Speight told The Wrap.

“Without saying anything that I shouldn’t say, Dr. Linda gets in over her head in a situation that is very unlike her to get involved in — but she does so for reasons that will make sense as the show progresses,” Speight added. “So it’s not always the funny Dr. Linda. You know, we see funny Dr. Linda, but this is also — there’s a lot of heart to her character and we see a lot of that heart in this episode.”

Speight, the “Supernatural” alum, was the also the director of “BlueBallz” – Episode 6 of the first part of Season 5. He will also most likely be directing an episode in the final Season 6 of “Lucifer.”

Hello Games Working on A Huge Game Like No Man’s Sky

Well, the developer behind “No Man’s Sky” – Hello Games, has confirmed that it is working on an all new “huge, ambitious” project, just like the “No Man’s Sky.”

The studio founder Sean Murray, in his interview with Polygon, has made it very clear that the new game, which is still “very early” in development, is in no way related to “No Man’s Sky.”

Murray went on to explain that the studio’s designers have been split between 3 projects – with 3 of them working on their new short “The Last Campfire,” which was released last week, and the remaining 23 personnel working on new updates for “No Man’s Sky,” and the new huge project.

As of now there is no other information related to the new project at Hello Games, and when asked about its launch, Murray told Polygon that “I think about it a lot and I don’t know where I come down on it. There is a really positive thing about talking about your game a lot. Where you get people interested in it who wouldn’t have played it otherwise. We see that with No Man’s Sky. We appealed to a huge amount of people, a lot of whom wouldn’t have known about the game otherwise, right? If we’d stealth-launched it or whatever, some of our biggest fans would never have heard about it.”

He added that “So it’s very difficult. But I look back, having done a lot of different press opportunities and things like that. And I reckon about half of what we did — and a lot of where we had problems, I think, where we were naive — we didn’t really need to do and we would have had the same level of success, you know? And that’s my own personal take. Right? A lot of opportunities were put in front of us, and we were told that they were the right things to do and I look back and I’m not sure that they were super, super important to the overall outcome kind of thing.”

Let’s not forget the part that he is the nephilim son of Lucifer. But, even though his parentage is enough to make us believe his character to be as evil as Lucifer, fans were immediately drawn to the performance of Alexander Calvert, quickly making his character one of the fan-favorites.

Especially his bond with Dean Winchester, is one of the amazing relationships that the show has ever given us. Jack looking up to Dean, even though the latter considered the Nephilim to be really dangerous, kind of wrenched our hearts. Later, when their relationship evolved to that of a father son, in which they did things that Dean did with his father, made us fall more n love with the Lucifer’s son. Here is the list of our favorite Jack Moments from “Supernatural,” that we will never ever forget:

What the hell am I?

In an intense battle with the angels who try to capture Jack, the Winchesters discover Jack being unharmed by angel blades. This is the very first instance for Jack to grabble with the reality of being a Nephilim and the extent of his power. But, the kid repeatedly stabbing himself with a knife, only to see his wounds healing instantaneously, pulls at our heart.

His fear of being unable to control his powers and the thought that he would hurt someone makes Jack doubt himself, if he would be really evil. But, that particular scene earned him his place in the hearts of die-hard “Supernatural” fans.

Killing Zachariah

Despite his good intentions, Jack has constantly been exposed to the prejudice of humans since the start. And the attack by angels on the rebel army camp is even blamed on Jack, with Bobby claiming him to have betrayed their location on purpose. However, having taking Sam and Dean as his family, Jack refuses to listen to Mary, who asks him to hide, and instead fights for those in trouble.

Bobby even apologizes for his words, but Jack simply states that he had to do what Sam and Dean would have done in that situation, and once again proves his true nature to protect others. By defeating the angels, he finally feels that he has used his power to help people, rather than hurting them.

Trying to make new friends

One of the best things about Jack Kline is, his innocence and the scene in which he tries to get social with teens – Eliot, Max and Stacy, but accidentally injures Stacy, proves it. In fact, he is just two years old, at this point and there is a very big world for him that is yet to be known. While this particular scene includes some funny moments too, there is no denying the sadness it had to it too.

Fans get to see how much he wants to impress the teens and bond with them, and went on to do everything he could, to show off his skills and knowledge of monsters and creatures. After all, the kid only wanted to be liked by others.

Meeting Kelly in heaven

Jack’s death is something that every fan had a very difficult time dealing with. But, the moment Jack got to meet his mother, made it clear that the pain his death brought was worth it. Every Jack fan knew that it was something that he had longed for, as we did see him asking a shape shifter to transform into his mother, so he can get a sense of closure.

Jack had always wanted to be a boy to his parents, and he even tried to give Lucifer a chance, not wanting to believe the words of others about his father. But, this moment with his mother Kelly, and the special bond between them, was amazing. Although the moment didn’t last as long as we wished, we are really happy that Jack had it finally. Fans got to see Jack as just a son, which also made him realize he had a family of his own, in the Winchesters and Castiel.

The road trip with Dean

While Dean was the one who didn’t believe in Jack initially, it was he would became a father figure for him in the end. What started as a very complicated relationship, evolved into a father and son bond eventually, with Dean being the one Jack looked up to.

Jack, knowing that he was dying, wanted to experience as much as possible, and Dean accompanied him on a road trip then fishing. The dire situation of Jack, played with our heartstrings and made us sob our eyes out when he said he is going to miss spending time with Dean. These moments of Jack and Dean together, will forever be etched into our hearts.

NCIS: 5 Things That Could Happen In Season 18

Since the first time “NCIS” premiered around 17 years back, the procedural drama has been one of the top TV series, with a humongous fan base. Every time, the show returns with a new season, it has managed to keep it fresh with unexpected twists and turns and some compelling back stories of the characters, especially, the story of Agent Gibbs, which is still a mystery.

Recently, fans have been too worried to send off Jack Sloane when “NCIS” returns for Season 18 this fall. But, there’s also hope for new development with possible new characters. The series is expected to resume shooting in early September, after the world-wide shutdown due to COVID-19 pandemic. Here are a few things that fans can expect to see when the “NCIS” Season 18 premieres:

Jack’s Departure:

This, of course, comes as no surprise, as the actress herself has announced that she would be leaving “NCIS” after just 8 episodes in the Season 18. However, what happens to her character remains the question. Last we saw, she was building a relationship with the daughter she’d given up for adoption. There was also a rumor of a possible romance between Gibbs and Sloane, with fans even naming the couple as “Slibbs.” However, now that it has been confirmed that she is leaving, we can expect a different ending of her chapter.

More of Ducky and Gibbs:

The milestone of 400 episodes is no joke, and there’s a lot of hype revolving the episode, which is expected to explore the relationship between Gibbs and Ducky, that has been a part of “NCIS” since the beginning of the show. We are pretty sure that the 400^th episode will certain live up to the hype, just like the 300^th episode “Scope” which is one of the best in the entire series.

The Opioids Case:

If there is one thing that will surely return for Season 18, then we will stick to the Opioids storyline, which has been around since Season 16. Of course, the “NCIS” franchise is famous for the ongoing arc that can last for years, but still, it would be great if we get to see the opioids case coming to a close in this season.

McGee & Delilah:

“NCIS” has been one of those shows that take the audience home with the agents, only and very rare occasions, that too involving a case. But fans have always wanted to know more about the agents, and they life, especially McGee and his wife, fellow agent Delilah. If you are one of those die-hard fans who miss the duo, there’s good news. The show’s EP Frank Cardea has confirmed that the upcoming season will feature a new episode about the married couple, and possibly their children.

Tony & Ziva:

The last but not the least, when have we said no to more of Tiva moments? Fans have always been asking for Ziva David to return and when that happened, now they are yearning for the reunion of Tony and Ziva, with their daughter. Though it is not easy, considering Michael Weatherly, who played the role of Tony, now has his own show going on, we can’t rule it out as totally impossible.

In fact, it’s been a while since we had any kind of crossovers in the “NCIS,” so fans are hoping to see Tony in his element again, all be it, if only for a crossover.
