Why the Hallmark Channel's Highest-Rated Historical Drama, 'When Calls the Heart,' Hits All the Right Marks
Hallmark Channel is well-known for its family-friendly movies that offer heartfelt drama, swoon-worthy romance, and happy endings. It was the network that aired all of the movies based on Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly series, so it was no surprise when the network opted to take on an original series based upon yet another one of the prolific author's books—When Calls The Heart.

4 TV Character Deaths that Made Viewers Say Goodbye Forever
Television shows live and die by their ratings — and so, unfortunately, can their characters. While TV deaths often happen for understandable reasons (a storyline demands it, or an actor wants to leave a series), occasionally they seem like shock value only to boost tune-in. But if a beloved character is written out of a series, fans may respond by fleeing like rats off a sinking ship.

'Designated Survivor' and Political Optimism
Courage, my friends, 'tis not too late to build a better world. Tommy Douglas, an icon of Canadian progressivism said that. Designated Survivor embraces this concept completely — no matter what bad things happen or how scary the state of the country and world looks, Tom Kirkman doesn't give up. He keeps fighting for a better tomorrow. Fitting, seeing as Douglas was Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather.

Could Tyrion Lannister Be the Prince Who Was Promised?
As HBO's epic fantasy series Game of Thrones is racing towards its final season, two big mysteries still remain behind the curtains: who is the Prince That Was Promised, and who shall sit on the Iron Throne after the war? While Jon's reveal as a Targaryen has taken the theory that he is Azor Ahai closer to perfection, there are still other contenders fighting for the same title. We know how much George Martin loves suspense and twists, so let's not give Jon the title yet.

The Reynes of Castamere: The History Behind the Dreaded 'Game Of Thrones' Song
Marriage and "Rains of Castamere" is a deadly combination, apparently. What many fans don't know is that the song has a history, and the lyrics especially have a deeper meaning. Whenever the song has been played, Game of Thrones fans have been terrorized as the song brings with it an ominous feeling and the promise of death. We all remember The Red Wedding, don't we?

Kit Harington's Reaction to 'Being A Dad' In Season 8 Of 'Game Of Thrones' Says It All!
Daenerys sharing a bed with Jon was perhaps the most craved scene in Game of Thrones by the fans. It doesn't matter to them whether Jon (rather Aegon) is indeed a Targaryen or is the rightful heir to the throne (well, that does raises some issues). Incest was a common affair practiced by the Targaryens. But, Season 7 has given us a real cliffhanger related to the fate of Jon and Dany. A fan asked Kit Harrington, 'Do you become a father in Season 8?' And his reaction is priceless!

Did 'Suits' Go Too Far By Airing Season 7 and Abandoning What Could Have Been the Perfect Ending In Season 6?
Gabriel Macht And Patrick J. Adams had us all overwhelmed right from the first moment when they shared a screen. And all it took were a few witty remarks and movie references to make us admire them and wait enthusiastically for the following episodes. Season 6 had conjured up the best finale that Suits could hope for. Mike returns to PSL and Harvey 'takes up the reins' - there couldn't have been a better epilogue. However a few months later, we found Suits returning to the stage with a new season. Was it a right decision to make?
