George R.R. Martin’s Book Is Delayed and It’s Ok, Really
12 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
We would do well at this moment to remember three things: Life is fleeting, the future is unpredictable and George R.R. Martin does not work for us.
Well, he works for HBO, in a manner of speaking; his “Song of Ice and Fire” book series, adapted as “Game of Thrones” for that network, has become a worldwide, Emmy-winning juggernaut, and presumably he happily cashes HBO’s checks. He is also under contract with a worldwide array of publishers, all of whom had hoped to release the sixth book in his series before the HBO show resumes in April.
That won’t happen, Martin announced Saturday, in a post that was touching in its honesty. You can’t come away from reading that post without thinking that Martin cares about his fans deeply. Despite his apologetic tone, however, the wailing and rending of garments commenced immediately in some quarters of the “GoT” fandom. »

Making a Murderer Filmmakers Respond to Prosecutor's Accusations That They Omitted Key Evidence from Netflix Series
10 hours ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
The filmmakers behind Making a Murderer are firing back at former Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz after he accused them of omitting key evidence from the series in an interview with People earlier this week. "Ken Kratz is entitled to his own opinion, but he's not entitled to his own facts," filmmaker Laura Ricciardi told The Wrap. "If he'd like to put together a documentary and try to discredit us in some way, he's welcome to do that. We're not going to be pulled into re-litigating the Halbach case with him." Added filmmaker Moira Demos: "I guess I »

Sherlock Special Recap: Was Abominable Bride Dearly Beloved?
1 January 2016 7:29 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
We’re mere hours into the new year and the quality-tv benchmark has already been set (spoiler alert: it’s high).
On Friday, PBS aired Sherlock: The Abominable Bride, a 90-minute one-off movie that found Sherlock and Watson doing their mystery-solving thing in 1890s London. The special — told from the POV of a present-day, drug-addled Holmes — was everything this Baker Street aficionado was hoping for and more. An engrossing case? Check. Sumptuous visuals, like those floating newspaper clippings? Check. Crackling dialogue? Check. Masterful performances from leads Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman? Check and check.
Sherlock and Watson’s mission this time around: to figure out how a gun-toting bride was able to commit suicide in full public view only to turn up hours later alive and well enough to murder her husband. Sherlock immediately scoffed at Watson’s “Could it have been twins?” theory. “No,” he shoots back. “It’s never twins.”
Given the standalone conceit, the special didn’t exactly push forward the series’ central mythology, eschewing traditional plot movement for trippy parallels and fun Easter eggs. There was, however, a potentially key development in the mystery surrounding Moriarty’s fate (as you’ll recall, Season 3 ended with the presumed-dead Big Bad resurfacing on UK television, boasting. “Did you miss me?”). The similarities between the “resurrections” of the titular bride (in the past) and Moriarty (in the present) were not lost on Sherlock.
In the end, however, the former case apparently did not end up informing the latter, with Sherlock ultimately echoing Ep Steven Moffat’s earlier assertion that “Moriarty is dead — no question.”
I suppose we’ll have to wait until the arrival of the three-episode Season 4 in Jan. 2017 to get a definitive answer to that beguiling question.
The 90-minute period piece’s standout sequence? Watson grilling Sherlock about his lovelorn existence, zeroing in specifically on his partner’s feelings for Irene Adler. Summed up Holmes: “All emotion is abhorrent to me.”
Were you as smitten with Bride as I was? Scroll down and assign the special a grade, then elaborate in the comments!

Chris Rock: Oscars Commercial

How are the Oscars like New Year’s Eve? This year’s Academy Awards host Chris Rock offers his observation in this 15-second spot posted, appropriately enough, on the final day of 2015 and somehow largely overlooked and unremarked until today. If there’s one thing that really takes off once the calendar has clicked over to the New Year, it’s Awards Season. Sure, it has already been under way for weeks, well months actually if we’re honest. But Oscar nominations balloting… »
