The most popular series “Lucifer” is nearing its end with the final season – Season 6 already in the works. But, there have been behind the scene changes in the upcoming season, especially related to the director’s chair.
It seems that for Episode 9 in the final season, our favorite Kevin Alejandro will take up the reins, as director Karen Gaviola has to quit due to his very busy schedule.
“In a post on Twitter, Chris Rafferty confirmed that original 6×09 director Karen Gaviola is not going to be able to direct due to scheduling changes. Now, cast member Kevin Alejandro is stepping back into the chair,” as reported by Cartermatt.
With so many speculations and fan theories going around, fans are not sure of what to expect in the grand finale. In fact, with season 5B yet to premiere, there are a lot of possible storylines. Especially with God’s entry, there are even speculations of getting to know more about Lucifer’s powers and history.
Talking about how God’s arrival will our favorite Devil, co-showrunner Joe Henderson said that “So much of Lucifer’s relationship with God is about this distance. What was interesting is casting someone who had that inherent warmth, plays against the type you’d expect, but also leans into sort of the fatherly energy that he gives. He has that presence of the Father that you don’t want to disappoint. And the father that seems warm, but also probably could get angry at you at a moment’s notice. He’s an incredible energy to have on the show. And it opens up Lucifer in ways he has chosen to close off previously as the ‘wayward son,'” according to Comic Book.
As of now, the writers have made it clear that the God appearing after almost an eternity in front of his sons, has actually got something to do with his question for his devilish son. Though, there has been no hint on what the question would be?

The “Supernatural” stars have revealed that the titles of the upcoming episodes have “a lot of meanings.” First preview images of another episode of final season “Gimme Shelter” has also been released.
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.

With the “Vikings” TV series, we get to see and experience everything about the Norse culture, we have imagined.
About a millennium ago, the Vikings traveled throughout the world and invaded lands in the European continent. Their culture and customs to their unique hairstyles, has always had a significant role in the history, with their saga named the Viking Age. And now, with the “Vikings” TV series, we get to see and experience everything about the Norse culture, we have imagined. In fact, it’s not just about experience anymore, as the cast of the TV series, along with the gripping storyline, has created a humongous fan base. But still there are a lot more to the show, than just these simple things. Here are some interesting facts about the “Vikings” TV series, that every fan should know:
The episode 15 – “All His Angels” from Season 4, was claimed as the most difficult episode to film, by Travis Fimmel, due to very poor weather conditions. It was very cold on the sets, combined with rainfalls.
The majority Northumbrain soldiers in this episode were actually played by extras who often played Vikings. It was reported that most of these extras felt very strange to be a part of the Northumbrain soldiers who were torturing their Vikings leader.
Initially, composer Trevor Morris was not happy with the score for the series, which he himself created. He got the Norweigan musician Einar Selvik involved in the score, providing Norse lyrics, along with authentic instruments specified for the Viking age. It was only then that Morris was convinced that the score was unique for the show.
The distinctive jewelry pieces used in the “Vikings” were all made by hand by a South Carolina artisan called The Crafty Celt, who has been researching Viking Era and Early Celtic jewelry for more than a decade.
In the Episode 2 of Season 1 – “Wrath of the Northmen,” the languages heard in the background when the anchor arrives are actually present day Danish and Swedish.
To create the effect of teary eyes when Ragnar is crying on the beach in “Brother’s War,” Vaseline was smeared on the lens around Travis Fimmel, making almost everything around him appear blurry.
Floki’s capture and imprisonment in the episode – “Kill the Queen” is actually based on the capture and imprisonment of the Norse God, Loki.
Adam Copeland was informed well in advance about Kjetill going to massacre and cannibalize Eyvind’s family in revenge. In fact, he was informed by Michael Hirst even before the filming of Season 5 commenced.
In the Blu-Ray release, in episode 5 of Season 1 – “Raid,” Helga is actually naked when Bjorn comes to Floki for help. However, in the Hulu’s streaming version, she was fully clothed.
Ragnar was carried into Paris in “The Dead” episode in a chest that is shaped like a ship. According to the common Norse custom, prominent figures are buried in ships.
Also, Ragnar’s plot to fake death for invading Paris, is said to be actually based on an actual plan of Bjorn Ironside in the 9th
The Sicily set used in the fourth episode – “The Plan,” of Season 5, was built for the exterior shots of Jerusalem, most notably the final siege, in Ridley Scott’s 2005 film “Kingdom of Heaven.”
The ship burial with human sacrifice in the episode 6 “Burial of the Dead” of Season 1, closely follows the description of a Viking funeral given by the 10th century Arab travel writer Ahmad ibn Fadlan.
The waterfall featured in “The Most Terrible Thing” episode is actually Gullfors, close to Thingvellir, where Iceland’s first parliament was located.
When “The 100” aired for the first time, the dystopian setting, the complex characters, and not to forget the gritty storyline, made sure to captivate the audience. Even after six fully completed seasons, the storyline is fresh, leaving the fans in awe with just as every episode airs. In fact, “The 100” series, which has been known for its extremely difficult questions, has never granted the die-hard fans, any easy answers, always keeping them on their toes.
Since the very beginning the show, lauded as a feminist show, has had women as the ultimate heroes as well as the gruesome villains, and almost everything in between. But still, the entire series has more to it, than these gorgeous yet dangerous female characters. Here are some really interesting facts about the series we bet you may not know:
Ivana Milicevic, who played the character of Charmaine Diyoza, found out that she was pregnant, just a day before she had to start filming her character’s scenes for the fifth season of the series. In fact, in the episode “Shifting Sands” from Season 5, it was almost impossible to hide her pregnancy.
In the series, the language spoken by the grounders called Trigedasleng, is said to have been created by the same person who created Dothraki, the language spoken in “Game of Thrones.”
During the filming of the episode “The 48” – Episode 1 – Season 2, Eliza Taylor, who plays the lead character of Clarke Griffin, is said to have suffered an unexpected injuring on the sets.
In “Murphy’s Law” – Episode 4 – Season 1, the scene in which Charlotte jumped off the cliff was said to have been filmed at 4: 00 a.m. Eliza Taylor claimed that particular day to be one of the “longest” and “hardest” days.
The City of Light scene from the episode 13 “Join or Die” from the Season 3, was actually filmed in downtown Vancouver, BC, in which the patios of some outdoor restaurants can also be seen in the background.
As per the initial drafts of the episode “A Lie Guarded” from Season 4, the opening sequence was an assassination attempt on King Roan. But, after filming the sequence was cut to make space for other plots.
It has been reported that the very first episode “Eden” of the Season 5 of the series, took the entire cast and crew nearly 15 days to complete filming.
The pilot episode of the series is actually the only episode of the entire series to have featured Kelly Hu, as her character has never been mentioned again.
Even the character of Jasper Jordan was supposed to die in this episode, but the character’s fate was changed later, since the entire cast as well as the crew like Devon Bostick so much.
In the Episode 3 of Season 2 – “Reapercussions,” the dam that Clarke and Anya jump off from, is actually a fictional dam named Philpott Dam, said to have been named after the show’s production designer – James Philpott.
The ending of the Season 3 finale episode – “Perverse Instantiation: Part Two,” was rewritten before filming, as the original ending was too dark with Jasper committing suicide after coming out of the City of Light.
In the episode “Fog of War” from Season 2, the original script had a scene in which Clarke and Finn bury the body of Delano, played by Brendon Zub. However, even after filming the sequence, it did not make it into the final cut.
In an effort to make Octavia’s horse Helios, lick her hand in the final scene of the episode “A Lie Guarded,” the crew members had to use molasses.
Eli Goore was supposed to reprise his role as Wells Jaha in the Episode 7 – “Nevermind” of Season 6, as the original script had an exclusive scene for him. However, due conflicts in his filming schedule, the scene was cut.
The youngest member of the “Supernatural” family, Jack Kline, made his entry only at the very end of Season 12 that too born as a young adult huddled in the corner, eyes glowing yellow. 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.

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.
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 400th episode will certain live up to the hype, just like the 300th 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.
With the premiere date of Season 2 nearing, the internet is bombarded with several fan theories. Here are some plausible theories that viewers could get to see in “The Boys” Season 2:
Just as Amazon Prime’s “The Boys” premiered, it kind of became everyone’s favorite for its unconventional storyline of a covert group trying to keep the super-powered people in check. This unusual superhero world, based on the comic book series by Grant Ennis, quickly garnered the attention of millions of viewers, leaving them excited for more.
In fact, even those comic fans were surprised by the out-of-the box plot that the show gave us. With the premiere date of Season 2 nearing, the internet is bombarded with several fan theories. Here are some plausible theories that viewers could get to see in “The Boys” Season 2:
Epic Showdown – The Boys Vs The Seven:
It pretty much seemed that both The Boys as well as The Seven had all their cards on the table, in the Season 1 finale. The momentum which has been building between both the groups have kind of reached an all new level, especially when The Seven had become aware that The Boys were behind the recent attempts to bring them down.
While the upcoming season is expected to pace itself, before the most awaited all-out war, there is no chance for the show to slow down the rivalry either, making it even more exciting. Season 1 has pretty much set the stage for it already, and Season 2 is surely going to be a celebration.
Redemption Arc for A-Train:
One of the best parts of the Season 1 Finale, was Hughie saving A-Train, even though A-Train was the one responsible for his girlfriend’s death, all be it, accidental. But, instead of just leaving him to die from the overdose of Compound V, Hughie saving him, was a turning point for A-Train, as he regrets doing those terrible things. It would be really interesting to see the change in the superhero, and it will not be surprising, if he decides to help Hughie for saving him.
Digging Vought Corporation:
While the show is all about the superheroes being evil, there is no way to forget the cause of everything – Vought Corporation, the company that has been experimenting on babies to create Heros with incredible abilities. We are certain that the company which handles all the superhero branding has a lot more skeleton in their closets. There are also theories of the Vought Corporation having created another Homelander, which is not something entirely impossible. So, digging the affairs of the company could be a potential storyline for “The Boys” Season 2.
Deeper Storyline for The Deep:
One of the Seven members, who is expected to come back with a deeper change is The Deep, the King of Sea, a riff on Aquaman. “The Boys” Season 2 teaser has given a glimpse of an all new angrier Deep. OF course the existential crisis he was in, after being kicked of the team by the Seven, has brought about a great change in him. However, is the change good or bad for the Seven members, is yet to be seen.
Redemption of Queen Maeve:
A cynical alcoholic, who is no better than her teammates in the Seven, Queen Maeve was not an interesting character initially. But, as the season 1 progressed, she became one of the most incredible ones, as the fans got to know that there is more to her than that meets the eye. In fact, among all of the original members of the Seven, she is the one who struggles the most with the guilt of doing those horrible things, and has also wanted to change. Fans are hopeful that the upcoming season will feature Queen Maeve in a path to move away from the Seven, in redeeming herself.
“The Boys” Season 2 will premiere on September 4, 2020 on Amazon Prime. The series has also been renewed for the third season, earlier this year.
Long before the Amazon Original “The Boys” premiered, the cult comic of the same name from Garth Ennis, pushed alls the boundaries that existed in the superhero world, twisting it with a bit of satire.
Long before the Amazon Original “The Boys” premiered, the cult comic of the same name from Garth Ennis, pushed alls the boundaries that existed in the superhero world, twisting it with a bit of satire. The comic’s glimpse of what will happen if the superheroes exploit their powers was made more vivid with the TV series, where the super-humans, idolized by the public as life-saving heroes, are morally corrupt and dangerous. Here are some interesting facts about “The Boys” even die-hard fans may not be aware of:
The “Coming 2019” poster for the TV series is an exact recreation of the cover of the first issue of “The Boys” comics, drawn by Robertson, which was later reused for The Boys Vol. 1 collection, “The Name of the Game”.
Even the most simple scene like Homelander and Queen Maeve walking through an office building in “Get Some” – Episode 3 of Season 1, had a lot of preparation and planning involved, as the production crew had to look for company names to put on the office doors that were visible on the camera.
Once the names were finalized, the legal department of the studio got clearance to use those names in the TV series, which when finalized was put into different nameplates by the Props Department.
For the fight sequence in “The Name of the Game” – Episode 1 of Season 1, with an invisible superhero, Translucent, SPX had a stunt double in a green, VFX-tracking suit stand-in for the majority of the fight rehearsal and VFX reference.
After that, SPX had pulled the stunt double out, with Karl Urban performing all of his fight sequences numerous times, to capture all the shots. Urban, who choreographed his own fighting scenes, performed against nothing, and made sure to repeat the same movements.
The Seven HQ that can be seen in the TV series, is actually the Roy Thomson concert hall in downtown Toronto, which is frequently used in films & Television.
The same hall with the giant X provided as a fitting background for an early scene in the first installment of the “X-Men” franchise. It also goes well with the series, as some of the characters in the show are loosely inspired by the X-Men characters.
In Episode 3 of Season 1, during the race with Shockwave, another speedstar, A-Train makes a gesture that is very similar to the fastest man in the world – Usain Bolt’s signature gesture. The speedstar Shockwave was actually created by the series creator Eric Kripke.
For the shot in the pilot episode “The Name of the Game” of the series, where Queen Maeve shatters an armored truck, SPX filmed a real truck smashing into a steel pole that was later removed by VFX. Queen Maeve was then shot in front of a green screen in the same location and comped into the real folding truck.
In comparison to the comics, the TV series had relatively toned down the sex, drugs and profanity, which are all more graphic in the comics.
The character of Translucent was especially created for the TV series, as in the comics, the last member of the Seven was an “alien” character named Jack From Jupiter, an expy of DC’s Martian Manhunter.
In the very first episode, the shot in which Hughie’s face is hit with blood and guts, including viscera, took just under 8 months to be completed, and was 100 percent computer generated.
The plane hijacking scenes in the fourth episode “The Female of the Species” took around 4 days to be completed, and was shot aboard an actual jet fuselage that was brought into the sound stage in Toronto.
The estate where Homelander visits Jonah Vogelbaum is the Parkwood Estate in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, which can be seen in the Adam Sandler’s “Billy Madison.”
Initially, the character of Hughie in “The Boys” comics resembles English actor and writer Simon Pegg, who even wrote the introduction for The Boys Vol.1 collection, “The Name of the Game.”
In fact, it was decided that when the comics was out and adapted into a movie or a series, Pegg will be playing the role of Hughie, but due to the long years between the comic release and the jump to a TV show, he was cast instead as Hughie’s father in the series.
From the moment Rick Grimes woke up all alone in a hospital bed, “The Walking Dead,” with its stunning visualizations and brutal gore scenes of bloody beheadings, walker attacks, has taken us through a real cruel world, where Zombie attacks are kind of secondary. The very strong characterizations in the series have led to the show surpassing even the comic books it is based on.
In the last decade of “The Walking Dead,” fans have always been hit with the most did-not-see-that-coming plot twists, including the death of most lovable characters. So, let’s get straight to the point, and here is the list of five biggest plot twists in the series, in our opinion.
Rick Is Alive
Just these words would be enough to bring out several emotions in a die-hard “The Walking Dead” fan, as fans literally went nuts, when the actor Andrew Lincoln confirmed that he was leaving the series. Of course, in the most logical departure way in “The Walking Dead” world would be his death. And man, what a heroic death it was.
Always the protector of the family, he bid his goodbyes in Season 9, by blowing up the bridge, he was too dedicated to building. But, it was certainly not the end of our beloved hero, as Jadis discovered a wounded Rick.
Hershel’s Death
While nothing the Governor does has surprised “The Walking Dead” fans, the death of Hershel, one of the most beloved characters of the show, was totally unexpected, as viewers thought somehow he will be saved in the nick of time. But, the moment Hershel’s head rolled to the ground, it was the most shocking twist ever in the series history.
It’s true that Hershel didn’t have much of a fan-following when the show started, what with his character being a wise man who preached morals, caution and hope. But still, with every season, fans grew to love him and his loss was devastating not to just the other characters but even the fans.
Sophia Walking Out Of The Barn
After being searched for ages, Sophia walking out of the barn as a snarling and snapping walker was totally an unimaginable thing, which kind of set an even higher standard for “The Walking Dead.” It was not just Carol who breaks apart, but every single character, who just killed walker upon walker without a second thought. The moment when Rick shoots her and Sophia falls down is certainly the most unforgettable heart-wrenching scene ever.
Glenn Being Alive
We are talking about Season 6 death of Glenn in such a lackluster fashion, under a cowardly Nicholas. Being one of the fan-favorite characters, fans were totally livid looking at all the blood and guts, thinking it to be Glenn’s. But, after a really painful month of missing him, it was revealed that he had managed to survive under a dumpster, a really spectacular twist that left viewers sighing in relief.
Still, Glenn’s fate was not that great, as he met his end at the hand of Negan at the beginning of Season 7, in the gruesome “The Walking Dead” kind of fashion, which left the audiences more upset. In fact, the brutal nature of his death even turned a lot of fans off from the show.
Lori Giving Birth
If there’s any show in the world that brings the best moments and twists with the gruesome death of beloved characters, it’s none other than “The Walking Dead” series. Lori’s death amidst a zombie prison riot, after giving birth to her daughter, Judith may be just another day in the world “The Walking Dead.” Still, Lori giving birth in a painful and agonizing labor, with Maggie performing a C-section, and Carl shooting Lori, his own mother, in order to prevent her from becoming a walker, is not something that anybody would have expected.
However, these totally out of the ordinary, unexpected plot twists, so gore and brutal, are what that makes “The Walking Dead” the greatest show. In fact, any die-hard fans have come to expect more bloodshed, and would not have it any other way.
With charming characters and captivating storyline, nail-biting suspense, “Money Heist” or “La Casa de Papel” is kind of short on nothing, as it brings not just the thrill of a heist, but love, friendship, and most importantly trust, all-in-one entertainment package. It is one of those shows which are highly impossible to predict, keeping the audience on the toes, and are worthy of binge-watching. The entire series, revolving around the heist, has lot more to it, that fans may not be aware of. Here are some interesting facts about the show that will make you it even more:
The Iconic Dali mask worn in the series is a tribute to the famous painter Salvador Dali, best known for his unconventional painting, modern sculptures, and controversial work of arts. Nevertheless he was the pride of Spain. Most of the philosophies of Salvador Dali match with the crew’s philosophy and hence they chose that mask.
The series was considered a failure after the season 1 release on the Spanish TV channel Antena 3. It drew 4.5 million viewers after the first episode but, audience lost the interest due to various factors, including broadcasting time slot. After Netflix acquired international rights to stream worldwide, it became an instant hit.
“Bella Ciao” the song used in this series is actually an Old Italian country folk song that was used by the resistance against Benito Mussolini during WWII. This song has been rerecorded and translated into many languages throughout the history. It can still be found around the world during protests.
Denver’s Laugh was actually written in the script as “trashy Laugh”. Each person who auditioned for that role interpreted that differently.
Famous Brazilian Footballer Neymar Jr. has a cameo appearance in the series as a monk. He appears as the monk Joao, in the episodes 6 and 8 of season 3, who doesn’t like football or parties, exactly what Neymar is known for.
According to the initial script, The Professor and Berlin were not meant to be brothers. But Alvaro Morte and Pedro Alonso created a backstory to their characters where Berlin was born to The Professor’s father’s first marriage.
Every character name involved in the heist is based on the national capital of various countries, except 4. Denver, Rio, Palermo and Marseille are names of the famous cities but not national capitals.
The name of the series “La Casa de Papel” translates to “The House of Paper”. When Netflix acquired the rights and renamed it has “Money Heist”, it was loved by the audience all around the world, becoming the most watched Netflix’s show in 2019. It also won the Iris Award for Best Screenplay.
Rio played by Miguel Herran is the youngest of all the characters involved in the heist at 19 years. Herran was only 20 when he was cast in the series.
The Bank of Spain heist in the third season was planned as realistically as possible. The creators of the series did some extensive research into the real vault of Bank of Spain and even hired a marine engineer to design the antechamber when the vault floods with water.
Tokyo was the first character name to be finalized for the series. Producer and Director Jesus Colmenar got the idea when he saw Alex Pina wearing a T-shirt with the name “Tokyo” printed on it. Within minutes all the characters were given the names of the series.
All the episodes were shot in order and were written simultaneously as the episodes were filmed. The actors did not know the fate of their character in advance and they messaged each other in excitement when new script was given to them.
It’s been years since the Liars found out the identity of “A.D,” but still fans are not totally ready to bid goodbyes to their favorite girls. And not to forget the couples’ relationships, which had always left the die-hard fans wanting more and more. Despite the secrets of “A” and “A.D,” there are much more things you need to know about the TV series, which went with the unwritten theme – Two can keep a secret, if one is dead. Here are some interesting facts about “Pretty Little Liars” you probably didn’t know before:
“Pretty Little Liars” has been known for its references to the literature, and even the major characters share names with famous poets and authors. Ezra Fitz – Ezra Pound (an American poet) and F. Scott Fitzgerald (an American novelist), Byron Montgomery – Lord Byron (English Romanticist poet) and Lucy Maud Montgomery (Canadian author), while Spencer Hastings shares her name with Edmund Spenser (the early modern English poet).
According to the book series, Alison’s disappearance happens in the summer before girls went to 8th grade, which is 3 years before the series beginning. However, it was changed to just 1 year for the show.
A Turkish remake of “Pretty Little Liars” titled “Tatli Kucuk Yalancilar” was aired on Star TV from July 6, 2015 to October 3, 2015, consisting of just 13 episodes.
In the closing moments of Season 1 finale, Florence and the Machine’s song “I’m Not Calling You A Liar” is used.
Many of the scenes from “PLL” were filmed on the same lot(s) used as the town of Stars Hollow from “Gilmore Girls.”This explains the reason behind the same view of the town in both the series.
In fact, the view of the whole town has been used in not just “PLL” and “Gilmore Girls” but also, “Witches of East End,” “The Carrie Diaries,” “Bitten,” “Hart of Dixie,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Riverdale,” and “Ghost Whisperer.”
Despite being one of the major characters of the “PLL” series, Keegan Allen, the actor who played the role of Toby Cavanaugh, was always listed as a guest star, and not as a main character.
In the very first episode, James Neate played the role of Toby Cavanaugh, but was later replaced by Keegan Allen, for the rest of the series. Even the character of Jason DiLaurentis, Alison’s brother was originally played by Parker Bagley in the first season, after which Drew van Acker replaced him.
For the pilot episode of “PLL” Troian Bellisario was 25 years old, portraying the 16-year old Spencer Hastings, while Sasha Pieterse was only 12 years old, portraying the 16-year old Alison DiLaurentis. However, she lied to the entire crew that she was 14 years old.
During the filming of the scene, in which Emily Fields crashes her car through her house, Shay Mitchell was only given one chance to do the take. Just as the shot was completed, the crew started to rebuild the house.
The theme song of “PLL” “Secret” by The Pierces, was featured in an episode of “Gossip Girl” Season 1. In fact, The Pierces performed the song in that episode.
Mona’s house and Spencer’s house on the Warner Brothers Studio lot were said to be interconnected, through a single door. Also, Aria’s bedroom was connected to Spencer’s on the set, with the doors in Aria’s bedroom leading to the walkthrough area.
Throughout the series, all the liars have suspected their love interests of being A, or on the A team, at least once. Both Toby and Caleb were suspected in Season 1, Paige in Season 3 and Ezra in Season 4.
In the “PLL” books, Spencer is related to Alison. But, in the TV show, due to the affair between Peter Hastings and Jessica DiLaurentis, it’s Alison’s older brother who is Spencer’s half sibling.
Even the character who were killed off on the “Pretty Little Liars” TV series, like Maya, were not killed off in the books. However, in case of Toby Cavanaugh, a character that is killed off in the books, as well as the in the original scripts of the TV series, had his screen time increased, due to the popularity of the character.
“The Originals,” what initially started as a spin-off of the most popular TV series, became more with every season, having its fair share of emotional, crazy and epic moments. “The Originals” connected with the audience in totally another level, especially with the central theme of family, and values of relationships. In fact, it perfectly makes sense as the series is all about the first ever vampire family – Mikaelson family. And let’s not forget the actors who made sure that we get hooked to the series.
Be it Klaus or Elijah or Hayley or Davina or Rebekah, every character had impacted or let’s say imprinted themselves in the minds of the die-hard fans, with their words and sometimes just expression. And when it comes to their words, even years after the show ended, we remember it as if we heard them say just now. So, here’s a list of quotes from “The Originals” that none of the fans will ever forget in their lifetime.
Always, forever. Family above all. – Elijah.
In every moment a choice exists. We can cling to the past or embrace the inevitability of change and allow a brighter future to unfold before us. Such an uncertain future may call for even more uncertain allies. Either way, a new day is coming whether we like it or not. The question is will you control it, or will it control you? – Klaus.
Every family has a legacy, and this is mine. I intend to fight for always and forever, even if it destroys me. – Hope.
Come back with me. We’ll take it one step at a time. And if anything makes you uncomfortable, you tell me and we stop. And when it comes time to open up, I’ll go first because I don’t run. And I don’t scare easy. Your secrets are my secrets and your demons my demons. You will never have to fight them alone. I promise you that. – Jackson Kenner to Hayley.
Because you wished it. Because what is important to you is important to me. What make you happy makes me want to keep you so. What scares you, I want to tear apart. – Klaus to Camille.
Family defines you even if it does demand sacrifice. My entire life I have longed for what you have. It is better to at least glimpse it facing death than run forever and know nothing of family. – Freya.
Let’s make one thing clear, you’ll never have this – loyalty. You can’t buy it, you can’t own it, you can’t force it, it comes only out of love and respect for the people who believe in you. – Marcellus.
Before you were born, I was a very different creature. I was cruel, I was mean and I would revel in the terror which I inspired in others. But Hope, from the moment I saw you, I wanted nothing more than to be worthy of being your father. But I’m afraid, without you, I’ll return to the darkness. So, I need you. I need you to fight. – Klaus to Hope.
Family is power, Niklaus. Love, loyalty; that’s power. This is what we swore to one another a thousand years ago, before life tore away what little humanity years ago, before ego, before anger, before paranoia created in this person, before me someone I can barely even recognize as my own brother. This is us. – Elijah to Klaus.
What’s more important is not who you’re siding with but who you’re siding against. – Rebekah.
Fifteen years back, Christopher Eccleston re-introduced the famous “Doctor Who” series to the 21st century audience, making them fall in love with it, in just a few episodes. Till date, four actors have played the new incarnation, following him. But, his immediate successor David Tennant was the one who had to face so many challenges, since taking over the role from Eccleston only after just 13 episodes. The scenario was simple – “What? So soon? New Doctor? I am sure he will not be that good. Is this how the entire series will be?”
Did Tennant overcome these challenges? Well, in my opinion (which most people will agree) he did and he became the name of the series, with his successors having a very hard time to fill the Doctor’s shoes that he left behind. In fact, most of (my, if not for all) favorite episodes in the history of “Doctor Who” are from the 3 seasons played by David Tennant.
It’s been years since the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, saved Wilfred Mott from a radiation chamber and triggered his own regeneration, and then we had the youngest Doctor in history, Matt Smiths, and then the spiky, ruthless and pragmatic Doctor, Peter Capaldi, and the current, first ever female Doctor, Jodie Whittaker. But still, Whovians miss the David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor a lot and will probably miss forever. So, here I am with a list of ten best episodes from the Tenth Doctor, for you re-watch during the ongoing COVID-19 related shutdown.
“Blink” – Season 3 Episode 10
Easily this stands out to be the best ever episode during the Tenth Doctor era, or some might even argue as the best episode in the entire new “Doctor Who” series. It comes as no surprise, what with the best of the best monsters – the Weeping Angels’s inventions, that surely had the Whovians, not blinking.
Oddly, this episode doesn’t feature much of the Doctor, but still the impeccable performance from Carey Mulligan as Sally Sparrow, contending and defeating the Weeping Angels, which are horrifying statues that can only move when not being observed. Till date, any die-hard Whovian, would surely have this episode in their list of favorites.
“Doomsday” – Season 2 Episode 13
Goodbyes are always heartbreaking, be it in “Doctor Who,” or any other TV series. And this, which marked the end of Rose Tyler’s (Billie Piper) time with the Tenth Doctor, is one of the most emotionally painful scenes ever in the franchise history. Relationships between the Doctor and the companions has always been amazing, but the connection the Tenth Doctor had with Rose Taylor was just another level, and that being unexpectedly ripped away, not affected the Doctor, but also the Whovians.
Tennant’s performance was extraordinary, which along with Piper’s heart-wrenching breakdown, made this episode one of the unforgettable in the “Doctor Who” history. Especially the scene, when the Doctor and Rose are touching the wall that “separates” them in two different universes, in the aftermath of battle between the Cybermen and Daleks, has forever seared itself in our minds.
“The Girl in the Fireplace” – Season 2 Episode 4
Combination of historical period pieces with the futuristic space plots, colliding with the past, present and future. Sounds something like a typical “Doctor Who” episode, but what’s really special is that, the Doctor falls in love with the real-life French woman Madame de Pompadour (Sophia Myles), from the 18th-century, and shows up the protect her, for her entire life.
However, this episode isn’t about love, as this visit takes a different turn from the others, when it ends with the traffic note of Doctor entering Pompadour’s time stream seven years after her death. The look on David Tennant’s face, the moment the Doctor realized that Pompadour is really gone and he is too late, made me cry my eyes out. It’s only Tennant, who could make you feel everything that the Doctor feels.
“Silence in the Library” & “Forest of the Dead” – Season 4 Episodes 8 & 9
If there’s any show that could kill of a character even before you know them, and then go on to develop the character arc and make you fall in love, it’s “Doctor Who.” And of course, the character that I am talking about is the most popular River Song, played by Alex Kingston. The first episode of this two-part story arc, introduces us to River (as well as the Doctor, for the first time), whose sensitive reaction to the Doctor, convinces us that their relationship is highly complex.
And before we know about the said complex relationship, in one of the most momentous moments in “Who”canon – River Song dies, who is later revealed to be the daughter of Amy and Rory Pond, two of Eleventh Doctor’s principal companions. But, as the show progresses and we get to see her character development, with not just the Tenth Doctor but also his successors, this rare moment of her death becomes even more traumatizing, making the episode extremely re-watchable.
“Midnight” Season 4 Episode 10
Dubbed as one of the “Companion-lite” episodes, which just means the Doctor carries the episode by himself, without the companion, this is one of the best Russell T Davies’s episodes, bringing in a brand new group of characters, who the Whovians will never see again, but still care for them, as the Doctor cares for them.
Tennant’s flawless acting skills made sure the episode stands out by selling the unseen threat, relying heavily on sound. He also managed to bring out a side of the Doctor that Whovians had never seen before, while simultaneously balancing the mission to save the universe and getting the crew members to trust him and calm down. To put it simply, “Midnight” is one great vacation of Tennant’s Tenth Doctor that turned for the worst with a literal unseen danger.
“The Christmas Invasion” Christmas Special – 2005
It would not do any justice, if we do not mention the first full episode of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor of the franchise. This 2005 Christmas Special till date remains my favorite, which is an entirely thrilling episode packed with many firsts of the franchise (and also because it’s the time Tennant’s time on “Doctor Who” started.)
The entire episode revolves around Rose Tyler leading the defense against the invasion of a new alien species known as Sycorax, while The Doctor spending most of the Christmas Special regenerating. But, the moment Tennant’s Tenth Doctor opens the TARDIS and asks with a knowing smile “Did you miss me?” was of course one for a great applaud. Not to forget his dealing with the Prime Minister Harriet Jones – “Don’t challenge me, Harriet Jones because I am a completely new man. I could bring down your government with a single word,” Tennant absolutely stole the show, distinguishing the Tenth Doctor from all the others.
“School Reunion” – Season 2 Episode 3
One of the qualities of “Doctor Who” that makes the series standout is how the fans of the original series are now watching it with their kids and make them the fans too. And this episode is especially for those parents, as it brought back the most beloved companion from the original “Doctor Who” in the 70s – Elizabeth Sladen’s Sarah Jane Smith.
The way Rose Taylor and Sarah Jane bond over how inept the Doctor can be, was something really incredible to watch. Rose realizing that she is not the only companion in Doctor’s life, and the jarring reminder that although Doctor is not human, he still feels pain and love and loss. And at the end of the day, when companions come and go, it’s always the Doctor who suffers the most loss, that too over and over again. Tennant’s portrayal of the Doctor’s internal devastation, but the quick flip back to happy-go-lucky Time Lord, was one of the strongest performances ever.
“The Stolen Earth” & “Journey’s End” Season 4 Episodes 12 & 13
Regenerations are pretty much a very common event when it comes to “Doctor Who.” But, the Doctor regenerating into the same incarnation was something very special. While Season 4 was the last season for Tennant’s Tenth Doctor, and the “Journey’s End” was the finale episode, he did not regenerate into Matt Smith, which happened nearly a year later in “The End of Time.”
The Doctor and Donna are battling the Daleks, one of the most iconic enemies in the Whoniverse, in “The Stolen Earth,” a crossover episode between “Doctor Who” and the spinoffs “Torchwood” and “The Sarah Jane Adventures.” The tragic end of Donna in the second episode of the two-part arc, is one of the most disturbing companion departures in the history of the franchise, as her memory of the Doctor must be removed. The raw emotion of the Doctor’s pain and loneliness after this incident was excellently conveyed by Tennant, leaving the Whovians speechless.
“Human Nature” & “The Family of Blood” Season 3 Episodes 8 & 9
This two-part arc really changed things up for true Whovians, who did not know which part of the Doctor to root for, the semi-immortal Doctor or the human Doctor. And Tennant’s ability to go and forth between both the characters was just astounding. But the most memorable scene from these two episodes is when the Doctor as a human must choose to become the Doctor again, killing himself, and leaving the love of his life behind.
In my opinion, it’s Martha (Freema Agyeman) who was the hero of these two episodes, as the Time Lord had his full trust on her, before becoming a human – John Smith, a teacher in the 1913, who has no memory of his life as the Doctor. Her words, “He’s just everything to me, and he doesn’t even look at me, but I don’t care, because I love him to bits,” makes you feel how devastated she really was.
“The Day of the Doctor” – 50th Anniversary Special
Although this is not a Tennant adventure from his “Doctor Who” period, “The Day of the Doctor” was one extraordinary episode featuring not just our beloved David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor, but Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor, and legendary turn from John Hurt as the “War Doctor.”
Aired as the special episode celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Doctor Who,” “The Day of the Doctor” brought in the Doctors of the past and present, on the last day of the Time War with a game-changing plot. The very first meeting of the two fan-favorite Doctors – Tennant and Smith will always go down in the “Doctor Who” history as one of the most memorable episodes.
Some of these episodes were remarkable just with the performance from David Tennant, while some episodes, with very less time of Tennant, stood the test of time to become a favorite. No matter what the case is, David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor is arguably the best, marking a high point in the show’s history, which is yet to be matched.
Is there any other episode that you think should be in this list? If so, please let us know in the comments, like a true Whovian, who would surely speak his mind out.
Grey’s Anatomy, in its 16-season run, has taken us through many things from plane crashes to shootings to storms, to roller coaster disasters, and not to forget the fascinating passion between the residents and heart-wrenching break-ups. The audience has spent more than a decade-and-a-half immersed in this workplace drama filled with medical mysteries and the most horrifying disasters one could ever imagine.
Since the very first episode “A Hard Day’s Night” that had the perfect mix of character introductions, fund and entertainment, along with a passionate one-night-stand for Meredith Grey, and the budding friendship between the Seattle Grace Mercy West/Grey Sloan Memorial, the show has never ceased to amaze the audience, making it one of the favorites.
The last season had to end abruptly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with fans getting a finale, which was just another normal episode. And since, it’s not clear as to when the production will began for the next season, let’s take a look at some of the best episodes that stood out in each and every season till date, which will be apt for binge-watching. However, if you are die-hard “Grey’s Anatomy” fan, you may not be able to stop with just a few.
“Who’s Zooming Who?” (Season 1, Episode 9)
With Season 1, the show was still finding its bearings, improving character’s likability and their separate story arc. But still, there are a number of episodes from the particular season which fans may never forget. Obviously, the pilot episode of “A Hard Day’s Night” is one among them, with “Shake Your Groove Thing,” also in the list. But, the most important episode with a totally unexpected twist that kind of changed the show’s main storyline was the Episode 9 – “Who’s Zooming Who?” Especially the epic moment when Addison Shepherd showed up and delivered the one-line “And you must be the woman who’s been screwing my husband?” to Meredith, is definitely one that fans will never forget.
“It’s the End of the World” & “As We Know It” (Season 2, Episode 16 & 17)
Grey’s Anatomy, right from the start, created its own style and way of shaping the medical drama. One such is the two-part or three-part story arcs. The Episode 16 & 17 of the Season 2, dealt with the famous bomb in the body cavity story, featuring the legendary guest star Kyle Chandler. It was one of the show’s first truly shocking and tense events, in which we see Meredith’s hand inside the chest of the patient, being the only thing stopping the bomb from exploding. The episode was in the special “Grey’s Anatomy” way exciting yet nerve-wracking.
Apart from these two, the season 2 also has some more memorable episodes like the Episode 5 “Bring the Pain,” in which Meredith utters the now infamous line “Pick me. Choose me. Love me,” to Derek.
Season 3’s Great Ferry Boat Accident – “Walk on Water” & “Drowning on Dry Land” & “Some Kind of Miracle”(Episode 15 & 16 & 17)
Dealing with disasters and accidents is one of the trademark’s of “Grey’s anatomy” and this three-episode arc is all about a ferry boat accident that had a influx of patients at the hospital. As if that was not enough, Meredith nearly drowns before being saved by none-other than Derek, and recovers from her almost dead state of hypothermia in these three episodes. Let’s just say, these three episodes had the fans counting down minutes before each episode was aired.
“Freedom: Part 2” (Season 4 Episode 17)
A case of boy encased in cement is enough to make the episode compelling, but add in every relationship milestones to the plot, from Callie and Erica sharing a kiss, Chief Webber getting back to his wife Adele, and the leads Derek and Meredith deciding on rekindling their romance. In simple words, this episode was just great and amazing on many levels.
“Elevator Love Letter” (Season 5, Episode 19)
Talk about trend setting, and this episode is one of the best in all time history of TV series. Getting married via Post-it note, sounded stranger, but was one of the most lovable scenes from “Grey’s Anatomy,” that has left the audience in awe for years. Not to forget the proposal of the decade with the CT scans’ of their patients, was totally out of the box, but still welcomed by the die-hard fans. Owen’s PTSD leading to a near death experience of Cristina, leading to their breakup, brings about another feeling of sadness.
The season also has another remarkable episode “Now or Never” which was the season’s finale that had George O’Malley killed, marking the end of one iteration, as the next season had new characters coming in, with new stories to be told.
The Witcher on Netflix has certainly been a hit following on the success of the video game of the same name. However there are some mixed reviews and many questions regarding the style, timeline and the length of the season. There is no doubt about the performance of Henry Cavil as the famous Geralt of Rivia, who has some memorable monologues and fight scenes. Here I have listed some of the best moments from season one:
Evil is Evil
Stregobor, a wizard contacts Geralt, seeking to hire him for an assassination job. He wants to eliminate Renfri, a cursed princes turned bandit who has tracked Stregobor in order to kill. Geralt refuses and delivers a monologue on how all forms of evil are unjustifiable, with one of his famous quotes “Evil is Evil”.
Geralt invokes Law of Surprise
Duny, an Urcheon of Erlenwald interrupts princes Pavetta’s bethrothal and demands her hand invoking the Law of Surprise. He had saved her father’s life many years ago. The princess accepts to marry the cursed Urcheon who looks like a Hedgehogg man, but the queen Calanthe orders to killing him. Geralt saves him and in the process the cursed is removed. Duny repeatedly forces him to take a reward for saving his live and jokingly Geralt invokes the Law of Surprise. The princess is found to be pregnant with Duny’s first born.
Geralt uses his final wish
He meets Yennefer for the first time when he brings injured Jaskier to her. In the process of healing Jaskier from djinn’s injury she starts to bind herself to djinn so that she can become powerful. When it doesn’t go well and it seemed that she would lose her life, Geralt comes to the rescue not with his sword but with his words. He uses his third and final wish to save her though we do not know what the words were.
Battle with Shtriga
He goes to investigate a monster and ends up fighting Shtriga. The monster is actually a former princess who was cursed at birth. To lift the curse all he has to do is fight and contain her till dawn, which proves to be easier said than done. The Witcher had not met anyone so fearsome until then and only manages to escape by the skin of his teeth.
Blaviken Butchery
After rejecting Stregobor’s offer he meets with Renfri to dissuade her from following the wrong path. She feigns her agreement but the next morning he finds out that she has not changed her stance. He goes after her to Blaviken only to find her men waiting for him with swords and proposal to choose sides. He rejects it and kills all the men and engages with Renfri herself wounding her fataly.
Dragon Hunt
Borch along with his two bodyguards invites Geralt, Yennefer and Jaskier to a dragon hunt. In the journey, professional dragon hunters such as dwarves and Reavers also join the hunt. Upon reaching the cave they figure out that Borch is actually a golden Dragon named Vilentretenmerth, who wants to protect his egg. Instead of killing the dragon they suddenly protect the egg from the Reavers. In the fight both Yennefer and Geralt show some badass moves and even manage to kiss in the middle of the commotion.
Coffea Break
