Dracula Trailer Emerges From Its Coffin
A Halloween holdover rises from the grave this Christmas Season, as a trailer for the upcoming BBC series Dracula has been released online.

“A God Walks into Abar” fills in plenty of Watchmen’s blanks, particularly the ones last week’s episode created when it revealed that Angela’s husband Cal is actually Doctor Manhattan. There are still elements that don’t make sense, and Angela remains a flat character, but it’s an ente...
