That’s So Shoshanna: Oh Shosh. Of all the girls on Girls, she is the most ridiculous and therefore maybe the best. Her complete lack of respect for reality is on comedic full-display in this deleted scene from season three — the episode where they pick up Jessa from rehab. It is Shosh at her Shoshiest. Which is to say that it’s funny. [People]

Happily Never After: Chris Carter’s Amazon series is no more, we’re afraid to say. [Nerdist]

The Slap Heard ‘Round the Internet: OK, full disclosure — this trailer is shocking. Not because of the eponymous slap, but rather because …did anyone picture THIS being the show, The Slap, after reading the synopsis about it? Sure, it’s an adaptation of an Australian show, but in its American iteration, it sounded like a goofy comedy sorta-thing with a bit of a darker edge. But this? This is full-on mega-drama (until the slap comes around, which is built up in such a way that, I just…?) of the NBCiest order. We’re confused! And unsure! And, clearly, need to know more, because Zachary Quinto and Peter Sarsgaard.

Another Cersei for Game of Thrones: You thought having ONE around was bad? How about two? Hey: at least the newest Cersei — to be played by Nell Williams — is also the youngest. Yes, spoiler-city, but: we will be getting flashbacks during season five of Game of Thrones and sister twincest will be involved. They’ve also cast another young girl for a mysterious role known only as Ghita. Time will tell if the two are related in some way. [Watchers on the Wall]

And Finally!: Peep the first 9 minutes of Syfy’s 12 Monkeys right here right MEOW: [Nerdist]

So, OK! What’s everyone think about our new mini-Cersei and the inclusion of flashbacks in season five? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
