The only Game of Thrones content I’m going to give you today is 1. this image of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Rob McElheney’s cameo in last night’s episode. As his co-star, Glen Howerton put it: “You got got, homeboy.”
Apparently, Silicon Valley and Party Down‘s Martin Starr was in the scene, too:
Looks like Rob could use an eyepatch.
And 2. apparently, DirecTV aired the episode about four hours early yesterday. It was a glitch on the part of DirecTV and reportedly the episode cut out abruptly, so don’t be too jealous of the lucky viewers who got to watch only the first half of the episode before you.
Lori Loughlin just pleaded not guilty in the college scandal case. Good luck with that, Aunt Becky!
The showrunner of Fear the Walking Dead says that there will be one zombie who will have an impact on the Walking Dead universe. “There will be one walker in particular, I have to be careful saying this around Scott. Let’s just say this walker will open a universe of possibilities for our storytelling.” WELL, WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
AMC has released a few early images from NOS4A2. It debuts on AMC on June 2.
Things have not improved in the fight between the WGA and their agents, and a bunch of members of the WGA posted their letters firing their agents, including Patton Oswalt, David Zucker, David Simon, and Damon Lindelof:
So this slapfight is happening on Twitter:
Wait, there’s a theory that the Jane the Virgin narrator is Jane’s grandfather? Huh. I guess I had my money on it being a grown-up Mateo or something.
Justin Hartley won’t tell you if he knows who the mother of Kevin’s kid is on This Is Us. If that is super important to you.
The Good Fight made people SO MAD with a dumb tweet that they threatened to call the Secret Service over it. It was a pretty dumb stunt, honestly.
