The best spoilers, twists, and surprises are different experiences on television than any other medium. Some are payoffs years in the making. Others rely on deft serialized storytelling to deliver maximum impact. Still more count on the intimate relationship between viewers and characters.
And yet some twists barely need any time at all. On the list below, there are moments fans have been waiting for since the first episode, as well as scenes pulled directly from the first episode. Some surprises are good for just the one episode in which they’re unveiled. You never know when something big is going to happen on TV, nor do you know how that twist might affect the future.

Remember when the Saviours were trapped in a siege and Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) plan appeared to be working? We should have known things wouldn’t run smoothly, this is The Walking Dead. With many people wondering if it was their fault this week, the answer is yes, it is their fault.
With Rick racing back to Alexandria to protect his family, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is already there and ready to raise hell. Carl (Chandler Riggs) takes control though and takes steps to help people escape, but will they all make it out alive?
Negan is in his element this week, and when he gives his big speech, I can’t help but compare him to Rick. What Negan is doing is what Rick has done, but he takes a more direct approach. When Rick finally does make it back and we see the two starts to fight, Negan...

With “Game Of Thrones” likely not dropping its final season until 2019, HBO‘s successor series is arguably “Westworld,” and it will be more than ably filling the gap. The high concept sci-fi was a sensation out of the gate, and enthusiasm remained high right up into its mind blowing conclusion. Anticipation is already at a fever pitch for season two when it arrives next year (I’d put hard money it’ll fill the summer slot take by ‘GoT’ this year), and star Evan Rachel Wood is making us even more jazzed for what’s to come.

**Spoilers ahead, obviously** This weekend, M. Night Shyamalan proved that the success of “The Visit” wasn’t a fluke. The director’s comeback was secured with “Split,” his second hit in a row, and a movie that going in, every moviegoer thought was an original twisty thriller….however, the last few minutes really changed the game.
You can get the full breakdown of how it unfolds right here along with Shyamalan’s explanation of how it originated, but the short version is this: James McAvoy‘s villain not only survives “Split,” it turns out the movie takes place in the same universe as “Unbreakable,” complete with a cameo by Bruce Willis, and a mention of Samuel L.

On your mark, get set, go! Edgar Wright’s upcoming movie “Baby Driver” is designed to “shred nerves” more than make you laugh, according to the director.
“It’s an action crime film,” the “Shaun of the Dead” helmer tells Entertainment Weekly about is new project. “It’s funny in places but it’s not a comedy. It gets genuinely tense and threatening. That was actually a fun thing for me — to do dramatic or thriller scenes which just up the ante.”
The director shared the first two photos of “Baby Driver,” which feature Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Eiza González. One image shows Elgort putting on headphones with Foxx riding shotgun. The second shows the rest of the actors in an abandoned warehouse. Click here to see them.

"We're looking at the first proof of life beyond Earth." Sony has unveiled a trailer for a new sci-fi thriller titled Life, about a discovery on the space station that goes awry. This movie kind of came out of nowhere, I didn't know they were even making this, and it has one helluva cast. Jake Gyllenhaal stars along with Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ariyon Bakare, and Olga Dihovichnaya. They play a crew on the space station who discover a life form on a rogue satellite, but when they take a closer look not all is as it seems. Yes this definitely looks like Gravity meets The Thing, but I'm still curious to check it out. The big twist halfway in seems crazy fun, and I'm always down for more cool space movies. Here's the first trailer (+ international version) for Daniel Espinosa's Life, direct from Sony's YouTube: Life...

All is finally revealed on the sixth episode of American Horror Story Season 6 and it's safe to say, most of us aren't surprised. The big twist that creator Ryan Murphy is finally out and while it isn't completely surprising, elements of it certainly are while the show finally delivered on what we've been wanting and became the horror and suspense drama it promises to be. We find out immediately, just as many predicted, that the sixth episode would turn the docu-drama series that was My Roanoke Nightmareon its head integrating both the subjects and the actors portraying them in the reenactments. In what was a brilliantly directed episode by Angela Bassett, making her behind the camera debut, Episode 6 really brought a new flavor, feel, and urgency to the series that elevated it above what we've seen the rest of the season, turning in on itself to make commentary on the...

Disclaimer: This post contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 6 of American Horror Story.
American Horror Story is a series that has been structured in a largely predictable fashion since Season 1. Rather than having one long, overarching story, each season is standalone in nature, with much of the same cast returning every year to portray a different character. In many ways, it's more of an anthology than a standard series. With Season 6, however, the show has really gone off in a different direction.
It all started with the marketing. Rather than actually have relevant marketing, they had a series of twenty-plus teasers -- most of which had nothing to do with the actual Season 6 story. It was as if the showrunner, Ryan Murphy, was messing with us, making us guess which one of them would actually play out in the season. And then, when the season finally launched, it was something completely different.

“American Horror Story: Roanoke” has been one of the most confusing, and exciting, seasons of the Ryan Murphy-created anthology series. Just when viewers thought they knew what was going on, Murphy has revealed that a major twist is coming in episode six.
Speaking with E! Online, Murphy teased that a “huge bomb” will drop at the end of the third act.
“The thing I love about episode six as you are watching it is that we drop a huge bomb at the end of the third act, where you kind of are in disbelief at what the chyron on the screen is saying. And then that takes you into another world and the stakes are really, really, really high,” he explained. “This season has been all about redoing the narrative of what we’ve always done. I think it’s always been a sort of straight-forward version of storytelling.

Warning: spoilers ahead! In Morgan, the female-dominated sci-fi horror flick hit theaters on Sept. 2, Kate Mara's character eventually sustains wounds that would render any average human being incapacitated at best. Despite a gaping, bloody wound caving in her abdomen, she's eventually, miraculously able to overcome the film's startlingly real-looking artificial human (Anya Taylor-Joy) without bleeding out, and lives to see another day. This annoying trope isn't anything new - there comes a certain point in every horror or action movie where the hero receives a stab wound to the gut or a few bullets here and there, but manages to brush them off as if nothing had happened. Though brilliantly cast, Morgan certainly doesn't break any new ground with its "scientists create monster, monster goes rogue" storyline in the way that last year's Ex Machina did. What it does do, however, is give an otherwise run-of-the-mill cliché a clever spin.

Coming off a successful first film, many talented directors fall victim to the dreaded “sophomore slump,” the second film in a director’s catalogue that builds so much hype, anticipation, and expectations that it’s nearly impossible to find any sort of success.
Hype and expectation couldn’t have been higher in 2013 when a relatively unknown director with only a few short films under his belt took the reins of the Evil Dead reboot. With Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert providing support, director Fede Alvarez crafted a stunning, gory, and terrifying film.
Now in theaters, Don’t Breathe is Mr. Alvarez’s second feature film, and I had the opportunity to talk with the filmmaker about his success, inspirations and influences, cinematic pairings, and guilty pleasures.
Congrats on all the success, Fede. Evil Dead is one of my favorite reboots to date and Don’t Breathe is fantastic.

Let me preface this by saying: Meh.
No, I'm not Meh-ing the rumor I'm about to share with you. I'm not Meh-ing the people involved in this production (cause they're stellar). I'm Meh-ing the project itself.
This new Young Han Solo movie- a spinoff/prequel from the ever-expanding Star Wars Universe- has got me worried. It was never an exciting idea to begin with because prequels, in general, don't really work for me. Unless they're going to explore very new, very fertile ground, and have very little connection to the films that take place after it, they just feel too safe and too restrained.
With the recent news that Lando Calrissian, a role originated Billy Dee Williams in The Empire Strikes Back, was going to appear in the tentatively titled Han Solo: A Star Wars Story I can't help but feel like this film is going to walk all over...

Production for Arrow: Season 5 recently began with the series returning to the CW on Wednesday, October 5th at 8 pm. Many individuals, including myself, were disappointed with the Season 4 Finale, let alone the entirety of Season 4. I have always tried to find the best in Arrow, and have continuously watched the series trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. At the conclusion of Season 4 I began to compare all of the seasons. Obviously seasons 1 and 2 were the best, but I began to think what it was that attracted me to the series during those seasons.
Season 1 was great because it was the “origin”. I looked forward to the island scenes wondering how they would escape, and would then be eager to see how the flashback scenes meshed with the current timeline, which they did. There were two story lines, but each one gave the audience pieces to the overall plot.

Now that we’re thirteen films and over a hundred hours of telly into the Marvel Cinematic Universe uber-franchise, it’s not a huge surprise that it’s gone full circle and started paying homage to itself. That’s certainly what it felt like at the start of Emancipation, in the fan-pleasing scene when Coulson and Talbot met in a bar.
This was pretty much a beat-for-beat reconstruction of The Incredible Hulk’s final moments (which were also glimpsed in One-Shot short The Consultant), from Talbot’s glowing doorway arrival to the line “I’ll talk, you listen.” Add to this The Sokovia Accords being talked about on the telly, Peggy Carter on the front page of a newspaper and a sign reading 'Buck's' behind the bar,...

Here, a local photographer scouts young, beautiful and naive victims at the local mall, showering them in flattery and promises of a successful modelling career. Fittingly, his true form shows him to be a Predator-like Wesen that uses its oversized mandibles to pierce the face of its victims and suck the youth out of them.

The top two items on this week's list aired on NBC, but since one's already been cancelled and the other's being quickly killed off, it's feels wrong to call them "NBC shows." Both have been relatively acclaimed, but when it comes to the programming of what used to be known as TV's "Big Three," prestige alone doesn't sell. Those of us who favor the daring can be bummed about this, and blame the primetime broadcasters for not always backing their best. Or we can be glad these programs existed in the first place.

Guerilla Games revealed their new IP titled Horizon: Zero Dawn.
The game looked beutiful with a big open space. Tree's and plants all around blowing in the wind. The story revolves around humankind being shrunk down to tribes and cities are taken over by wildlife. The big twist is that cyborg style dino's seem to be roaming around and are very dangerious.
The protagonist carries a cool bow style weapon that has different perks. She tries to take down a small heard, but massive creatures stampede across. She then runs before turning to take the beast down with various weapons at hand.

The 100 continues to be one of my favorite sleeper shows on TV in its second season, as the weirdly clever, uncharacteristically brutal CW show is one of the best sci-fi programs on TV right now. From its strong female lead to a surprisingly fleshed-out concept, it does a lot of things right. This week, however, a few things went awry to the point where I felt they deserved comment. In part one of The 100’s Season 2 finale, a long-awaited alliance between the Sky People and the Grounders was supposed to decimate the Mountain Men and free their prisoners. If you don’t know what any of that means, go watch Season 1 on Netflix. If you do, know that spoilers follow. After an entire season meant to forge an alliance between Clarke and Lexa, the Grounder commander, all of it was undone in a single moment, as Lexa went…

The Good Wife, Season 6, Episode 13: “Dark Money”
Written by Keith Eisner
Directed by Jim McKay
Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on CBS
After the relative, unexpected disaster that was “The Debate,” in which the Kings bit off way more than they could chew thematically speaking, it makes sense that The Good Wife would return after its brief hiatus with an episode that mostly plays it safe. Accordingly, “Dark Money” is a total comfort-zone hour in theory, replete with the meta-gags the series has grown increasingly in love with, a legendary guest actor playing sharply against (recent) type, and a set of new plots for familiar returning characters. Should be a surefire slam dunk, right?
Not so much. For starters, the principal returning character of the episode – that is, the one we’ve not seen in a while – is Colin Sweeney (Dylan Baker), the bourgeois almost-definite-murderer for whom the series...

The big twist this season is that contestants are divided into three tribes: White Collar, Blue Collar, and No Collar. White Collars make the rules; Blue Collars follow the rules; and No Collars break the rules and give uncomfortably long hugs.

Director Rodney Ascher (Room 237) is back with another captivating documentary called The Nightmare. It details the horrors of a sleep condition commonly known as “Sleep Paralysis,” where people find themselves in a state in which they are paralyzed and cannot move or speak, but are completely aware of their surroundings. The big twist with sleep paralysis is the terrifying things that people will often see while being affected by it.
The Nightmare honestly tells the extremely unnerving experiences of 8 individuals (including some of his own) who are chronically affected by sleep paralysis, and then cinematically dramatizes those experiences in a way that's terrifying but true to the story. Surprisingly, these freaky dramatizations were able to make me jump in my seat more than I did in any other film I saw in the midnight series category at Sundance. The doc also induced that wonderful late night feeling of “Shit,...

We haven't talked much about the upcoming thriller Child 44 but the concept for this project is just too good to pass up.
Based on Tom Rob Smith's first novel in a trilogy, the story unfolds as a disgraced military police officer (Tom Hardy looking ragged and sporting a wicked Russian accent) investigates a number of child murders by a suspected serial killer. The big twist here is that the investigation takes place in the Soviet Union during Stalin's leadership.

Based on Tom Rob Smith's first novel in a trilogy, the story unfolds as a disgraced military police officer (Tom Hardy looking ragged and sporting a wicked Russian accent) investigates a number of child murders by a suspected serial killer. The big twist here is that the investigation takes place in the Soviet Union during Stalin's leadership.

Geometry Wars holds a special place in my heart, as the original was an unexpected surprise that managed to resurrect my interest in twin-stick shooters singlehandedly, by combining fantastic gameplay with an amazing aesthetic and brilliant soundtrack.
It’s been six years since we last saw the series, and I was excited to see where it was going to take me this time. And while not all of its changes are for the better, it’s safe to say that Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a welcome addition to the new consoles’ lineup.
For those of you who are new to the Geometry Wars series, it’s a pretty simple design. In fact, this is about as pure as a video game can really get. The general premise is that you’re going to blow up as many enemies as possible to get the highest score possible with some sort...

Warning: The following Q&A contains major spoilers for Monday’s Sleepy Hollow midseason finale. Proceed with caution.
Stick a sword in Moloch, because he’s done.
Sleepy Hollow‘s midseason finale ended with a game-changing cliffhanger: Though Henry (Aka the Horseman of War) looked like he was going to skewer Ichabod with the Sword of Methuselah, he instead plunged it into Moloch’s chest, destroying the demon and effectively ending his fledgling reign on Earth.
The big twist came at the end of a packed episode that also saw Frank Irving agree to wield the sword — his signed-away soul...

Damon and Elena are back centre stage in this week's Vampire Diaries, but hasn't their storyline been done to death?
This review contains spoilers.
6.6 The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get
When The Vampire Diaries got good again this season, it was hard to put our finger on exactly why it was so much less frustrating, irritating and repetitive. This week, with the return of Damon to 2014 (or whatever year they're currently in), it's become a little clearer.
And the show knows it too – Damon and Elena's love story had hit a dead end and now the writers are desperately trying to dig a new road for them to go down. There are rumours everywhere that one of the central trio will be exiting at the end of this season, and this move either means that it'll be one of them (the most likely) or that we're supposed...

According to Da7e Gonzales of Latino-Review, film producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach plan to milk the Spider-Man universe for all its worth by creating a feature-lenth spy-thriler based on a young pre-Aunt May. Yes, an Aunt May movie. A movie about Aunt May as a youth, before she was shouldered with the responsibility of raising Peter Parker. The target mood is some sort of espionage story in the vein of AMC’s Mad Men, which sounds like a way of saying “classier Agent Carter” without name-dropping Marvel’s upcoming series. We know May Reilly Parker-Jameson as Aunt May, the sweet elderly woman that took care of Peter Parker after the death of her brother-in-law Richard Parker and his wife Mary. In 2003, Mark Miller wrote Marvel Comics' Trouble, which was a five-issue mini-series that presented an alternate past for May, Mary, Ben and Richard. The big twist, Richard...

What more is there to say about Viola Davis? She is one of the most hypnotic American actors working today in a variety of stage and screen roles. Her vigor and emotional complexity are paralleled by few in her craft. She has won two Tonys and should have won the two Oscars she was nominated for, as her terrific turns in Doubt and The Help were the high points of both features.
So, it is of little surprise that the best moments in the pilot episode of How to Get Away with Murder, a frantically-paced potboiler from powerhouse executive producer Shonda Rhimes, are the few times the show slows down to hold on Davis’s face. (Contrary to the popular belief, Peter Nowalk is the creator and showrunner.) When she looks in the mirror, darts her eyes away from her husband or puts a struggling student on the spot, her eyebrows arched,...
