Now that Joe and his Followingers are happily nested in the Joe Carroll Dream House, the show - and Emma, in particular - seems to want to pretend that the previous seven weeks never happened. It's a whole new show, with a whole new cast and a whole new focus! The only true constant is, of course, the familiar face of star Kevin Bacon - which, like a trusty, well-worn baseball mitt, is always ready to catch whatever curveball the show throws his way.

Let's see if Ep. 8 got it over the plate, shall we?

Okay, so they Finally changed the intro, after I complained last week. Is someone up there listening?

Joe (James 100%PureFoy) tells Joe Junior (Don'tKnow Don'tCare) that he knows that he is afraid of him, but he hopes that will change. Good luck with that. And Joe Junior (Joeliet?), thanks for coming to work - you can go home now,...

It’s been the year of Hollywood. After stellar big ticket offerings like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Moonrise Kingdom and Arbitrage, comes Looper the latest sci-fi time bender about the perilous notion of doing battle with your future self. The film directed by Rian Johnson, who shot to fame with the gripping high school neo-noir drama Brick, tells a fascinating story which is complex and original, but one which is also a product of multiple influences; due homage is paid to Hollywood classics including The Terminator, The Usual Suspects and Memento. It also owes more than a little to early Stephen King . (think Firestarter, Carrie)

In its conceptualization style and execution Looper is compelling and brave. It uses the much abused clichés of time travel (you meeting your future self for example), futuristic thrillers ( a mother and son stalked by a warrior from the future) and fear in...

Firstly, let me reiterate how difficult this list was for me, as a life-long Simpsons fan, to compile. Of course we know that the Simpsons hasn’t always been at full strength (some of the later series just didn’t do it for me in terms of hilarity or poignancy) and it’s common knowledge that ratings have been slipping steadily since around series ten or eleven; although I do feel that The Simpsons Movie marked a welcomed return to form for the series when it was released in 2007.

They’re one of the most iconic images on TV recognised, within in a fraction of a second by anyone who sees them. With a staggering 22 complete series and 23rd currently airing, it’s the longest running sitcom ever to air and – after questionable, but ultimately satisfactory contract negotiations with the actors – it shows no sign of ending any time soon.

The upcoming makeover of Disney's high street Disney Stores at the hand of Steve Jobs has the news feeds buzzing. Disney's going high tech?

As the The New York Times notes, the stores are getting a "floor to ceiling reboot" with the intention of getting people keen to walk into them, and lingering longer while in there. It's all with the hope of pushing revenues up. Sounds a bit like an Apple Store, with tempting entrances, bright light, sleek design, rows of shiny gadgets on display and lots of hands-on? No surprise, then, that Steve Jobs was asked to help during the development of the reboot, and though he didn't have direct control, he pushed for Disney to "dream bigger." Jobs provided access to internal Apple documents on how its crazily-successful Apple Stores operate, made Disney build a fully-stocked prototype store to test out its ideas, and added "Pixar-esque winks and nods.

As announced previously, Halo-8 Entertainment will be releasing its Godkiller: Walk Among Us "illustrated film" series in the form of bi-monthly, episodic DVDs. Additionally, we've learned that each of the three DVDs will come packaged with a serialized audiobook of the prequel novel Godkiller: Silent War, written by the film's award-winning writer/director Matt Pizzolo.

If it sounds a little confusing, let Pizzolo explain, "Godkiller is split into two periods... there's the pre-nuke world of Silent War and there's the post-nuke world of the graphic novel and illustrated film Walk Among Us. So Silent War is only a prequel insofar as it happens beforehand, but its events drive the Walk Among Us story, and many of the same characters appear in both. I'm super excited that the two stories can roll out together in this integrated way--everything about this project is unorthodox and crazy, hopefully everyone will enjoy the ride.
