WiC Weekly: April 24-30
By Dan Selcke
From big shakeups in The Walking Dead universe to Marvel and DC Films showing off their upcoming projects to news of Avatar 2, it was a busy week.
Welcome to WiC Weekly, the only place on the internet talking about what’s going on in the worlds of movies, TV, sci-fi and fantasy. I don’t know why no one has thought of this. Let’s recap the week!
First up, a question: has anyone else noticed seasons of TV getting shorter lately? What’s with that?

The word “woke” had a tenuous meaning to begin with. I dunno if it’ll even exist after Twitter gets done with it:
