So, I’m falling SUPER behind on The Walking Dead — already behind on two episodes and thanks to a busy weekend ahead of me, there’s no chance I’m catching up before a third airs. I’M SORRY. To make amends, here’s a bunch of Walking Dead news for you that has been piling up for the last couple of weeks. (It’s weak, but it’s all I’ve got.)
This season’s finale along with the premiere of Fear the Walking Dead will screen in movie theaters across the country, which will be on April 15, and as God is my witness, I will have caught up by then. Find theaters near you here.

Here is an interview with Chris Carter following last night’s X-Files‘ finale. Don’t read if you haven’t watched yet, as it is very spoilery. One non-spoiler, however, is Carter’s thoughts about the show’s future considering Gillian Anderson has said she is not returning: “I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more X-Files, in some shape or form. I think there are lots more stories to tell and ways to tell them. I’m leaving this as a giant cliffhanger, and Gillian has announced that she’s not coming back. Hard-core X-Files fans know there have been no real endings on the show.”
American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace ended on an ambiguous note last night. Here’s what the actors and producers thought about it, and here are the details of Andrew Cunanan’s actual suicide.

Nell Scovell is not a household name, but women in TV writing and comedy need to know who she is. And on the #MeToo movement, she had this insight: “That behavior needs to be made socially unacceptable. It needs to be like farting in public. If you rub a woman’s shoulders, it’s like ripping a huge fart. Everyone should look at it and go ‘Ew!’”
