Finally, here's a video that really hammers home the importance of Donald, whoever he might be. [Give Me My Remote]

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Chloe Bennet, who currently plays record company assistant Hailey on Nashville, has reportedly become the sixth and final regular cast member on ABC's S.H.I.E.L.D. She will play Skye, and here's a description of her character:

Skye [is] a confident woman who is slightly obsessed with superhero culture and the shadow organizations that exist within it. She's edgy and can out-talk anyone with her unflappable nature.

Bennet joins Stargate Universe's Ming-Na as Agent Melinda May, Killing Lincoln's Brett Dalton as Agent Grant Ward, Hollyoaks actress Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Gemma Simmons, The Fades star Ian De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, and of course the incomparable Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson.

American Horror Story: Asylum

Here are some promo photos from the upcoming tenth episode, "The Name Game." [SpoilerTV]

And here's a description for episode twelve, entitled "Continuum." Hopefully that title is the early clue that we're heading towards a crossover between American Horror Story and the Canadian time travel show. After all, I don't think American Horror Story will be able to maintain its ever-increasing levels of crazy without occasionally raiding other batshit crazy shows and siphoning off their insanity... you know, like in Spaceballs, except not with oxygen. Sorry, sorry, I think there was a plot synopsis I was going to post:

A deadly new inmate threatens Sister Jude's chance of release from Briarcliff. Grace's obsession with the aliens turns violent.

Beauty and the Beast

Covert Affairs actor Sendhil Ramamurthy has reportedly been cast as Gabe, described as "a new assistant district attorney who has spearheaded the search for the town's vigilante." The character will debut in the fifteen episode, and showrunner Sherri Cooper describes him thus:

"He's super ambitious and power hungry and it'll be another obstacle [for Kristin Kreuk's Catherine]. And, of course, he'll be dashing and charismatic. He'll juice things up."

Meanwhile, Brendan Hines, who I suppose is technically best known as playing some dude on that show Lie to Me — but who I choose to know as Tyler from The Middleman because The Middleman was awesome — has been cast as a police department psychologist who tries to get inside Catherine's heads. Sherri Cooper says key questions Catherine will have about this character are as follows:

"Who does he work for? How much does Catherine open up to him? Does she trust him?"

Hines will debut in the show's midseason premiere on January 24. [TV Line]
