From a storytelling perspective, when a character has faked their death once, it seems unlikely that the writers would pull the same trick on us a second time. Of course, from a character perspective, it makes all too much sense that Loki would use the same escape plan in Avengers: Infinity War that he successfully pulled off in Thor: The Dark World, so it’s understandable that fans are continuing to suspect a classic act of deception from the trickster.
The theorists have even pointed out a few potential signs that there was more to Loki’s death scene than meets the eye, from the use of his left hand, to his line about the sun shining on him again. But regardless of whether you feel there’s any weight to this body of evidence, a new post on Reddit seems to nullify at least one of the Loki truthers’ arguments.

Who she is: Frigga
Her power: Frigga possesses all the normal qualities of an Asgardian—superhuman strength, speed, durability, and longevity. In addition, she has the power of creating glamours and illusions of both herself and others, in which she can project an image of someone not there, or appear as another—an ability she taught her adopted son, Loki.
Her story: Frigga is married to Odin, king of Asgard, and at the beginning of Thor is shown as a proud mother of her son at his (interrupted) coronation. When Odin banishes Thor and then falls ill, Frigga keeps watch over him throughout his sleep and recovery, even killing a Frost Giant during Laufey’s assault on Asgard. In Thor: The Dark World, she helps to protect Jane Foster from Malekith and the Dark Elves when they, too, attack Asgard, and is killed while defending Jane.
Played by: Rene Russo...

While retrieving this week's MacGuffin, Cassandra and Jake encountered the titular Reunion of Evil in The Librarians Season 3 Episode 3. The attendees were, of course, Norse Frost Giants, much to the dismay of our heroes.
Naturally, this resulted in all sorts of hilarity and shenanigans as the two Librarians tried to blend in with this less-than-savory crowd.
"And the Reunion of Evil" was directed by none other than Noah Wyle (Flynn Carsen) himself, and he acquitted himself quite well behind the camera with this episode.
The real measure of any work — whether literature or a movie or an episode of television — is whether or not it entertains the viewers. And I confess to having a lot of fun with "And the Reunion of Evil." Was the premise silly? Sure. But I felt that they made it work.

The anthology horror film is back in the wake of the success of chapter-style horror films like The Theatre Bizarre (2011) and its announced follow-up, V/H/S (2012), the soon-to-be-released sequel V/H/S 2 (2013) and The ABC’s of Death (2012).
While this movement generates a good deal of conversation about the fondly remembered Amicus productions of the 1960’s and 1970’s like Dr. Terror’s House Of Horrors (Freddie Francis, 1965), Torture Garden (Freddie Francis, 1967), The House That Dripped Blood (Peter Duffell, 1971) and Asylum (Roy Ward Baker, 1972) among others, the comparison is not exactly accurate across the board.
While the segments of V/H/S are unified by shared visual style and a wraparound story, The Theatre Bizarre and The ABC’s of Death come off as collections of essentially unrelated horror short films loosely bound by a flimsy wraparound segment in the case of The Theatre Bizarre or a basic concept as...

Daybreakers and Stake Land have given audiences different views of what a futuristic world overrun by vampires would be like. Now Syfy is gearing up to give us their take on a Vampyre Nation, one that features vampires outnumbering humans, synthetic blood, and a virus that causes vamps to devolve into man-bats. Wait - doesn't that sound just like Daybreakers?
Amid the slate of disaster flicks bound for Syfy, UFO International Pictures recently unveiled for 2011 Vampyre Nation. Here's the mammoth plot synopsis UFO has posted regarding the film's plot:
Bucharest, Romania. The not-too-distant future, but an entirely different city. The human population is dwindling. The vampire population, meanwhile, is exploding. Having emerged from the shadows a decade earlier, vampires now walk openly amongst the human population, as a precarious peace exists between the two. A peace made possible by the introduction of a synthetic blood substitute, dispensed by the Romanian government,...

Sad but true: I’ll watch Dean Cain in just about anything. I know this sounds like some sort of self-imposed torture designed to make my life as agonizing and inhospitable as humanly possible, but it’s not. To authenticate my tasteless obsession, I’ll even admit to owning a legitimate copy of his made-for-tv “Die Hard” rip-off “Breakaway” (aka “Christmas Rush”) on DVD, a film I’m pretty sure nobody in their right mind would pay money to see. Not surprisingly, Dean Cain’s upcoming SyFy flick “Frost Giant” sounds like an ideal way to piss away 120 minutes of my shockingly boring life. I genuinely wish I was kidding. I really do. “Frost Giant” will dazzle discerning television viewers on August 7th at precisely eight o’clock in the Pm. Thanks to Dread Central for the juicy info.

When I first learned that Syfy had a creature feature in the works starring Dean Cain called Frost Giant, without knowing anything about the plot, I just automatically assumed the titular "frost giant" would be a Yeti or an Ymir or some other furry Scandinavian behemoth. Nope. Turns out Syfy has made a movie about a block of ice that sprouts arms and legs, comes to life, and goes on a killing spree. All I can say to that is, "About damn time!"
Ex-tv Superman Dean Cain stars in Frost Giant along with Lucy Brown from season three of the Brit sci-fi dino series "Primeval" in this frostbitten fright flick from prolific Syfy movie scripter Raphael Jordan and director Victor Garcia (Return to House on Haunted Hill, Mirrors 2). Still no official plot synopsis anywhere that I have come across, but judging by these two scenes from the film that Syfy has posted,...

This past weekend gave us Dinoshark (review here), the trailer for the Syfy bound Dinocroc vs. Supergator just went live, and we're all chomping at the bit for Sharktopus; but what else does Syfy have in store for viewers? Glad you asked. A new slate of Saturday night creature features has been announced, and I can tell you about a few others, too.
First up, let's just quote from Syfy's own press announcement (note that we've previously reported on a few of these):
Mega Piranha—Premieres Saturday, April 10, at 9Pm (Et/Pt)—An unusual alliance tries to stop a mutant strain of giant ferocious piranhas that have escaped from the Amazon and are eating their way to Florida. Stars Barry Williams, Tiffany, and Paul Logan.
Mothman—Premieres Saturday, April 24, at 9Pm (Et/Pt)—The legendary West Virginia monster returns to exact revenge on five childhood friends who covered up an accidental killing.
