Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 Recap
In the of HBO’s , Sansa and Arya learned the truth about Jon’s parentage, and Cersei executed Missandei in front of Daenerys. In Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5, the penultimate episode of the series, Daenerys dealt with a number of betrayals, and her forces attacked King’s Landing.
The Spider
Varys wrote letters about Jon being the true heir to the Iron Throne. When Jon arrived in Dragonstone, Varys tried to convince him that he would be the better ruler. Tyrion confessed to Daenerys that Varys had betrayed her, but she already knew. She took it to mean that Jon had betrayed her, and when Jon couldn’t be with her romantically, Daenerys resigned herself to ruling through fear. She had Varys executed for his treason. The Mad Queen
Despite the scorpions, Euron’s fleet, and the Golden Company, Daenerys’s forces, especially her remaining dragon, Drogon, cut through them like butter. The battle for King’s Landing was over soon, as the bells rang to announce Cersei’s surrender and the Lannister soldiers dropped their weapons. However, Daenerys wasn’t finished and used Drogon to rain fire down on King’s Landing, civilians and all. Grey Worm charged the surrendering soldiers, and the rest of Daenerys’s armies resumed attacking. Eventually, Jon ordered his troops to fall back.
Cleganebowl
Arya and The Hound finally made it into the Red Keep. As the castle crumbled around them, Sandor told her that she had to go back. If Arya followed him, she would not survive. Arya thanked him and left the castle. We followed Arya as she made her way through the devastation, trying to save as many as she could but ultimately failing as ashes rained from the sky. She found a horse and rode it away.
In the Red Keep, The Hound found his brother escorting Cersei and Qyburn to safety. Sandor confronted Gregor. The Mountain ignored Cersei’s orders to stay with her and killed Qyburn in an instant. Cersei got out of there as the Clegane brothers squared off.
Though The Mountain overpowered him, Sandor got some good stabs in. The only problem was that The Mountain is undead. He shrugged them off and pressed his fingers into The Hound’s eyes. Knowing that even a dagger through the eye wasn’t working, Sandor threw himself onto his brother, and they tumbled from the tower into fire and destruction.
Together to the End
The Unsullied had caught Jaime and were guarding him. As Daenerys’s Hand, Tyrion gained access to him and set him free. Jaime was supposed to convince Cersei to surrender by ringing the bells and opening the gates.
Unfortunately, Jaime missed the cutoff as the gates to the Red Keep closed, so he had to find another way in. He ran into Euron, fresh out of the water after Drogon destroyed his fleet. He fought Jaime and stabbed him. Despite Jaime ultimately besting him, Euron rejoiced at having killed Jaime, who wasn’t dead yet. He taunted Jaime for being a Kingslayer yet again as he died.
Jaime found Cersei and took her through the crumbling castle. They went underground, but debris blocked the way out for them. Jaime held her as everything around them caved in, and they died together.

Charmed Season 1 Episode 21 Recap
In the of The CW’s , Hunter killed all the Elders except for Charity, and the Charmed Ones vanquished him. In Charmed Season 1 Episode 21, the sisters realized that Hunter’s death released the Harbinger virus.
Outbreak
Galvin called the Charmed Ones to the hospital where the Cinco de Mayo party attendees had come in, bleeding out of their eyes and noses. While there, Mel noticed Niko among them, though she was just bleeding from her nose. While the others were infected with the Harbinger virus, as Macy determined, Niko’s was a reaction to learning the truth of her altered history. The sisters instructed Galvin to have the infected quarantined. Niko should be safe among them since she was wearing the protection ring. Unfortunately, Greta arrived and removed Niko’s ring since she was jealous of Mel.
The Empathic Plane
Maggie could hear Parker calling to her. Harry helped her reach an empathic plane where they could communicate. Parker told her to protect Charity, since she was the last remaining sage from the prophecy. Harry knew she would be at the Garden of Latebra. She had unearthed a plant needed for a spell to help her evade detection. However, since it hadn’t bloomed enough, Charity needed Mel’s powers to speed up the plant’s growth.
Parker attacked in Latebra and claimed it was all a plan for Maggie to lead him to Charity. Harry escaped with Charity. Maggie couldn’t vanquish Parker since she sensed the human Parker was still there. In the Vortex Viribus, Harry was able to get the plant to bloom, but Fiona had found them. She killed Charity, and the last sage fell.
Sacrifice
The infected were reacting violently, and the virus was spreading. Galvin suggested using the ritual he was going to use on Macy to remove the demon in her. Macy apologized for involving him in magic, but Galvin told her that he loved her. He performed the ritual but didn’t tell Macy that it required a sacrifice. Macy and Harry tried to stop him. The ritual killed him, but it worked. Those infected were no longer attacking, and the virus dissipated.
The Source
Since Charity had died, the blood rain came, in accordance to the prophecy. Alistair had taken Maggie to use her as bait for Parker, who had disappeared after the fight. The sisters searched for them in the eye of the storm.
Fiona called the black flame to surround Maggie. Since Macy had previously removed her immortality, it killed her. Alistair wanted Parker to step into the flame and take on the Source to save Maggie. However, Macy, another demon born of a human, took the Origin Dagger from within Parker and placed it in herself. She stepped into the fire and took on the Source to save Maggie. She stopped the blood rain and vanquished Alistair.
Back at home, everyone was uneasy about Macy’s new powers, but she had all the control. She went back to Galvin’s body, and his eyes opened.

Whiskey Cavalier cancelled by ABC after one season
Despite prominent billing surrounding The Walking Dead‘s Lauren Cohan, a special preview premiere following the Oscars and surprisingly strong reviews from critics, the espionage action comedy Whiskey Cavalier has received the axe from ABC following struggling ratings, according to .
The series followed the adventures of secret agents Will Chase, played by (Scandal), and Frankie Trowbridge, played by Cohan, as they lead an inter-agency team of flawed, funny and heroic spies who periodically save the world. This was the series that Cohen elected to leave her long-running role as Maggie on The Walking Dead, though it’s possible for her character to return to the AMC series eventually.
Together, Will and Frankie lead an inter-agency team of flawed, funny and heroic spies who every so often save the world – and each other – while navigating the rocky roads of friendship, romance and office politics. Whiskey Cavalier also stars Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty) as Susan Sampson, Tyler James Williams (Dear White People) as Edgar Standish and Vir Das (Son of Abish) as Jai Datta.
Executive producer Bill Lawrence took to Twitter on Sunday to confirm the bad news for fans of the series.
is unfortunately over. I actually did have an investment in the show and the people. I’m sad. I’m grateful for the chance.
— Bill Lawrence (@VDOOZER)
Foley also took to Instagram to discuss the news in a video alongside his wife and guest star Marika Dominczyk, who was very tearful regarding the cancellation.

A post shared by (@scottkfoley) on May 12, 2019 at 11:07am PDT
The pilot script for Whiskey Cavalier was written by creator Dave Hemingson, who will also executive produce with Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold and Peter Atencio from Doozer Productions. The studio is Warner Bros. Television and Atencio directed the pilot, with Foley also producing.
Because Warner Bros. TV has a major investment in the project including its international appeal and A-list TV stars, the studio is currently shopping the series around to other networks in hopes of keeping the project going.

Bob Iger teases a potential third live-action Star Wars series
Despite the end nearing for the primary saga of the long-running sci-fi film franchise Star Wars, Disney CEO Bob Iger not only announced today that the next three Star Wars films are the in-development projects from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, but that there may also be a third live-action TV series extension of the franchise in the works.
Speaking at the MoffettNathanson Media & Communications Summit, Iger discussed the future of the franchise and how the studio is planning on filling the gaps between the final primary installment The Rise of Skywalker and the first installment of the next trilogy, which is slated for a December 2022 release.
“..In the interim, we are producing two Star Wars live-action series for Disney+, one of them is called The Mandalorian, which is being supervised by Jon Favreau, and the other one is a bit of a prequel to Rogue One. And my guess is there will probably be at least one more live-action series that we produce for Disney+ (meaning a Star Wars series), before we release the next film.”
The franchise thus far has only seen three TV series extensions of the lore, all of which however have been animated, and the studio is currently working on two live-action small screen spin-offs. The first is The Mandalorian focusing on the lone titular gunfighter, which is set to premiere on the upcoming streaming service Disney+ on November 12.
The second series currently in the works for Disney+ is an untitled project focusing on Rogue One character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), described as an espionage thriller, from The Americans writer Stephen Schiff, which is set to begin production sometime later this year.
Iger’s comments don’t necessarily confirm the development of a third series, but given the franchise’s popularity and potential for multiple story expansions, the mammoth studio’s inclinations to potentially produce a third iteration definitely creates hope for more adventures in a galaxy far, far away.

Euphoria Season 1 Episode 7 Recap
In the of HBO’s , Nate blackmailed Jules into helping exonerate him, and Rue took care of Jules while drunk at Daniel’s Halloween party. In Euphoria Season 1 Episode 7, Rue struggled with her bipolar moods, while Jules visited friends in LA.
Manic-Depressive
We saw Rue in two states immediately following the party. In her manic state, she played the Morgan-Freeman-esque detective as she and Lexi tried to work out Jules’s motivation for helping Nate. Rue figured out that Nate had catfished Jules but didn’t realize he was blackmailing her. She believed Jules had fallen for Nate. She went to Fezco, hoping he would use his gun to scare Nate. Fezco told Nate to stop messing with Rue and her friends or he would kill him. At the end of the episode, Fezco and Ashtray frantically flushed drugs while the cops were outside. In her depressive state, Rue stayed in bed and watched Love Island. She didn’t leave her room after she rudely confronted her mother’s date. Rue’s depression prevented her from urinating. Her mother found her writhing on the floor and took care of her. Rue suggested going back on her medication.
Like a Dream
Jules claimed to be sick and was out of school for a week. She texted Rue to let her know everything was fine, but she would be visiting a friend in LA. When her friends asked how she was doing after the move, Jules wanted to avoid the subject. However, she told them about Rue, obviously smitten. Jules hooked up with Anna, who reminded her of Rue.
Advice
Rue gave us insight on Cassie’s background. Her parents had an unhappy marriage. After a car accident where he was drunk, her father became addicted to pain medication. She and Lexi lost touch with him. When Cassie last saw him, he’d clearly become a junkie.
Cassie gathered her friends and sister around. She needed advice on if she should tell McKay about making out with Daniel. They all advised her against it. Cassie insisted that she felt too guilty. After they left, Cassie told Lexi that she was pregnant. When Cassie went to McKay, he told her she would make a good mother, but not now.
Naked
At the Halloween party, Kat had sex with Daniel. He had been her childhood boyfriend. Unfortunately, he hadn’t remembered it that way.
At Cassie’s, Maddy and Kat got into a vicious argument that led to Kat storming out and the advice council dissolving. At home, she cammed for her anonymous big spender. He disguised his voice and blacked out his camera. She took off all her clothes but soon shut her laptop.

Rust: Jeff Daniels to star in Showtime drama series adaptation
Golden Globe nominee and Emmy winner Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom, The Squid and the Whale, Godless) will be starring in and executive producing Rust, the straight-to-series adaptation for Showtime. The series is based on the novel American Rust by Philipp Meyer.
Rust is a compelling family drama that will explore the tattered American dream through the eyes of the complicated and compromised chief of police Del Harris (Daniels) in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania. When the woman he truly loves sees her son accused of murder, Harris is forced to decide what he’s willing to do to protect him.
“Jeff Daniels is a bona fide giant on stage and screen, and Dan Futterman is a special writer and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have them together at Showtime,” said Gary Levine, co-president of entertainment at Showtime. “With vibrant characters caught in an unpredictable murder mystery, Rust will tell the relevant and touching human story of the corrosion of the American dream.”
A series adaptation of the book was scrapped by USA Network after the channel had picked it up for a straight-to-series order in 2017. The new iteration for Showtime will have multiple episodes written by Oscar nominee Dan Futterman (The Looming Tower, Capote) who is also serving as executive producer alongside Michael De Luca and Elisa Ellis of Platform One.
Daniels is arguably best known for his roles in the TV series The Newsroom, Godless, and The Looming Tower, and for his role as Harry in the Dumb and Dumber movies. His other recent projects include Guest Artist, The Catcher Was a Spy, Allegiant, The Martian, and Steve Jobs.
