Gareth explains to Bob that Terminus wasn’t originally intended to be a cannibal butcher shop, but it ended up that way, not a trap. “You join us or you feed us”, that’s not much of a choice. The conversation was all one sided from Gareth until he mentioned eating Sasha and that’s when Bob springs the truth on them. He pulls his shirt collar back and starts screaming, “Tainted meat, I’m tainted meat”. This stuns the cannibals, that can’t believe that they have been eating someone that is infected. They start gagging, spitting, and one even vomits. Then the accusations fly, they might as well have been eating a walker, way to go Bob. Three people are missing and Sasha wan…

The CW announced today that Arrow has been renewed for an eighth season. The long-running action drama is the network's longest-running superhero-based series, with its success helping pave the way for the likes of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. Once a flagship of The CW, Arrow's ratings have tapered off over the years. But at nearly 150 episodes, that is to be expected. And yet, it still draws fairly good numbers for the network compared to its other prime time entries. Yearly crossover episodes with fellow DC series also help boost its viewership. The CW has a total of five series on the air from the DC Comics universe. All four others were also picked up …

That's right, "Vampire Diaries" and "Gossip Girl" executive producer Bob Levy says that he's going to "work on" having real-life friends Nina Dobrev and Leighton Meester make guest appearances on each other's shows, says E!. We think this is a fantastic idea. Think about it: Dobrev could visit the Upper East Side and either try to out-bitch the Queen B or worse yet, put her in an uncomfortable situation like have her visit a garage sale. Eww! Used and dirty! Of course, if Meester visits Mystic Falls, she would make a damn fine vampire wi…

The news was somewhat expected, as it has been nearly two years since its last renewal and the cable network has been mum regarding its future during that time.

Season 3 debuted last year with an even larger order of 16 episodes, but with audience numbers falling even further, the likelihood of a fourth season became less and less o…
