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.

Shootin' Up The Theories: Does The Cameo In 'Westworld' Episode 6 Point To The Show's End?
Staying true to form, not only did the sixth episode of #Westworld really ramp up tension on The Great Plains this week, but it also threw yet another head-scratching #theory into the mix. This time, that theory created a case of déjà vu, taking us back to the Westworld of old.

It is a time of great change for Doctor Whofans, with the upcoming departure of current Showrunner Steven Moffat, and Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi paving the way for new Showrunner Chris Chibnall, and Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to step into the role of The Doctor. Now, they may have to face another big change, with rumours suggesting that composer Murray Gold is also set to leave the show.

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:

'Sense8' Just Got Uncanceled — At Least For Two More Hours
After the abrupt cancellation of Sense8 on a cliffhanger in May, fans took to social media to demand a renewal. They gained more than 500,000 signatures on a petition, seemingly all to no avail. Netflix wouldn't renew the show, telling its 1.5 million fans on Facebook that they tried to make it work but just couldn't.

Doctor Who: Who Is the 13th Doctor Actress Jodie Whittaker?
Just like the Doctor has, the show #DoctorWho has worked hard to break its bonds by being diverse as possible. Whether it's female roles as companions - now the 13th Doctor - or by how it approaches relationships, and character bonding, Doctor Who has remained unique in this sense. It is a show that shows us great things can come out of anyone no matter the color of your skin, your gender, your birthright, or even your disabilities.

Back To The Futurama: David X. Cohen Promises More 'Futurama' Is Coming
Who didn't love Fox's futuristic answer to The Simpsons in Matt Groening's Futurama? Following the wacky adventures of the Planet Express crew and a dimwitted delivery boy frozen for 1,000 years, Futurama became a staple of fast-paced cartoon foolery in the noughties. As Philip J. Fry awoke in the year 3,000, he was faced with Leela the one-eyed cyclops, alcoholic robot Bender, the squid-like Dr. Zoidberg, and a whole host of other madcap misfits. Undoubtedly the thinking man's version of #TheSimpsons, Futurama's peak was arguably better than America's favorite yellow family.

Spock the Difference: Hilarious First Trailer for Seth Macfarlane's 'Star Trek' Spoof 'The Orville'
In space, no one can hear you spoof! Since 1966 we have watched #StarTrek and the adventures of the Starship Enterprise, Voyager, and soon Discovery to make the ideas of Gene Roddenberry one of the most successful franchises ever. While seeing Kirk parade around the bridge is all well and good, the shows can at times be accused to taking themselves a little too seriously.

These Violent Delights: What About Guest-On-Guest Violence In 'Westworld'?
The first rule of #Westworld Fight Club is, "you don't talk about Westworld Fight Club." Where the robo-romp of #HBO's latest addiction may be great for letting off some steam on the toaster or the TV, for those who feel like knocking seven bells of sh*t out of your fellow man, you had better find somewhere else to spend your family vacation. Delos has a strict policy on its guest-on-guest violence, but I hear Disneyland has a lax policy on underground beat em' ups.
