And now, we turn to the TV of the future. How is The CW’s long-running (like, 15 years long-running) Supernatural going to end?
Supernatural star Misha Collins says that the ending won't "be like Game of Thrones, where you wish it had ended in a different way." Ouch. https://t.co/tUZz9xszQm

Game of Thrones cast members are making waves, too, including budding movie star Emilia Clarke:

Also in the news: a movie called Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Looks like there’s some acrimony in that galaxy far, far away:

There’s been a ton of buzz about the Snyder Cut online recently. It’s kind of taken on a life of its own, and that might not be for the best:
Lots of Justice League fans are urging Warner Bros. to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. But even if it existed, would it actually be...good? https://t.co/Gn0QMV5gGs

Finally, here are some great reads to keep you occupied until George R.R. Martin finally publishes The Winds of Winter. Insert your own joke about how long that’ll take here.

And that’s literally all the things that happened last week. Can’t think of any more.
Happy new year!
