  • Mikhail Gorbachev saw the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a dark omen for the US.
  • The events "called into question the future fate of the United States," he told Russian media.
  • Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, died at 91 on August 30.

Before his death, Mikhail Gorbachev said the Capitol riot threw the future of the United States into uncertainty.

The day after the attack, the former leader of the USSR told Russian news agency Interfax the events "called into question the future fate of the United States as a state," multiple news outlets reported.

Gorbachev went on to say that "the storming of the Capitol was clearly planned in advance, and it's obvious by whom," although he did not specify whom he was referring to, according to The Moscow Times.

"It will take a little time, and we will figure it out, why it was really done," Gorbachev said, according to Just The News.

Gorbachev was the last leader of the Soviet Union before it dissolved in 1991. He died at the age of 91 on August 30, according to Russian news outlets.

As president, Gorbachev himself was a target of a failed coup d'etat during the final months of his leadership. And many commentators on the January 6 Capitol riot drew parallels to what's now known as the August Coup.

On August 18, 1991, hardliners in the Soviet Union Communist Party — including members of Gorbachev's administration — attempted to oust their country's leader by placing him under house arrest and demanding he resign. Gorbachev refused, but leaders of the coup disseminated an announcement anyway, claiming that the leader was ill and removed from his position. The Russian military and demonstrators soon swarmed the Russian White House and protestors turned against the hardliners.

Soldiers began to flee — while some decided to join the demonstrators — and the coup fell apart within three days.

Gorbachev returned to Moscow and regained control on August 22, 1991. He resigned as president of the Soviet Union later that year, on December 25.

During the conversation, Miller suggested June will continue to put her life at risk as the war against Gilead’s regime starts to reignite.

He explained: “June is going into a very interesting world, she’s on the run, she’s got women with her who she feels responsible for.

“She’s also bleeding to death, basically, at the end of season [three]. June has a taste of freedom now, and we’re going to follow her.”

Miller went on and previewed what he promised to be a completely different take on the world of The Handmaid’s Tale next time round.

RELATED STORIES

The following contains major spoilers from Snowpiercer‘s two-hour Season 2 finale.

How did TNT’s Snowpiercer possibly one-up its freshman finale, which turned two trains into one?

How about by veritably exploding one train into two — and then having the streamlined, 10-car “pirate train” double back to find stranded engineer Melanie… only to have Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Alex (Rowan Blanchard) discover she didn’t survive her elongated isolation at the research station.

Or did she?

TVLine spoke with executive producer Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios about Melanie’s fate, the train’s newest world order, Season 3’s new arrival and more.

Snowpiercer Jennifer ConnellyTVLINE | Talk about the plan to stretch out Melanie’s fate for the second half of the season. Was that about you losing Jennifer Connelly at a certain point, but you wanted to keep the character “around” a bit longer?
Basically, yes. Jennifer has been such a great partner in this and also has a very busy professional life…. [Showrunner] Graeme [Manson] knew very early on, so he and the writing team came up with this really great idea of the research station and then the “time collision” that took us to the end of the season. Having the ticking clock of “We need to make sure we have some place to be at a certain time!” is always valuable, and with a very limiting Wilford always wondering what is happening. When that creative decision came up early in the season break, it was exciting to hear. It’s always fun to have a strong emotional reaction to a creative pitch.

TVLINE | It also planted a mystery for a couple of episodes. “We saw what Melanie saw, but what will lead to that shocking moment?”
Exactly. We always talk about the show as multiple genres mashed up into one. There is character drama, of course, but it’s also a genre show, and it’s also action-adventure. We’re always trying to give the audience a little taste of all three in every episode.

TVLINE | It took Snowpiercer 30 days to circle back for Melanie. In your mind, how long did it take Layton’s “10-car pirate train” to make it back to the research station? How much longer did Melanie have to last? Was it one week, was it three…?
It wasn’t three weeks. I want to say we landed somewhere around five or six days, though I don’t remember ultimately what it was.

TVLINE | Because I was surprised she went through the rats so quickly. There seemed to be a good-sized nest of them by the thermal vent.
Ultimately, they weren’t fat. [Laughs] There’s not a lot of meat on a rat like that.

TVLINE | You did kind of leave the door open. I mean, Melanie wasn’t found dead. She could have been discovered and rescued by some group of nomads we didn’t know existed….
She could; that might be “jumping the shark” a bit based on everything we expressed thus far, but….

TVLINE | She is done for, we shouldn’t be speculating?
I don’t know if I’m going on record that she is “done for,” but I don’t know that she is alive.

TVLINE | Have viewers seen the last of Jennifer Connelly?
We are pleased that Jennifer will join us for Season 3.

Snowpiercer Season 2TVLINE | By the end of Season 1, I had no doubt that Josie (Katie McGuinness) had frozen to death after her fight with Melanie. So when she showed up in Season 2, it seemed like you had reconsidered that character’s fate. 
It’s funny — we actually shot her recovery scene for Season 1. So you were going to have the Josie story answered by the end of Season 1, but instead it was a cliffhanger we put into Season 2.

TVLINE | What value did you see in keeping the character around?
We adore Katie; I always describe that character, particularly from Season 1, as sort of the emotional and moral center of the tail. No matter what plans existed, it was Katie’s performance of that character, her vulnerability and expressions of love toward all of the tail, that stood  out. She’s sort of the “mom,” and there was something about when she spoke that as extremely powerful. We thought it would be interesting to take someone who is always so sure in how they approach a situation have the “genre piece” affect her, and see what she does if there’s a bit of a “superhero” augmentation. That was the idea behind it.

TVLINE | At the very end of the finale, Ben warns Layton, Josie and Till, “We have some weather ahead.” Is weather almost a new character for Season 3?
Yes, it is definitely a new character. Climate change is something that Graeme is always discussing, and it’s such a strong topic that we all have very strong feelings about. But it’s also a difficult topic, because it can paralyze people — everyone wants to help, many are not sure what to do, but it is on everyone’s mind.

We need to keep reminding people that we have to take care of our Earth, and how fragile a moment we are in in. That’s part of it. But also, [weather brings] the idea of hope. We are organisms that are a part of something bigger, and the possibility of the Earth being able to repair itself is hopeful.

TVLINE | But does weather present a potential danger to our heroes? As things warm up, like, could tracks get flooded out…?
Very much so, yes. I don’t know that we will be doing flooding in Season 3, but there is definitely an adjustment, including to the train and how it operates — how quickly is the engine warming up? Can we be self-sufficient in this environment? It’s a really transitional moment for Snowpiercer and the pirate train, as well as with regards to what can exist out in the world.

Snowpiercer Season 2TVLINE | It sure looks like Miss Audrey (Lena Hall) legitimately fell back under Wilford’s sway….
She did, that troublemaker. Yes, she did. She was torn, because she knows she is in love with someone who is perhaps pure evil, but she cant help how she feels.

TVLINE | How worried should we be that an outwitted, already-psychotic Wilford (Sean Bean) is now in charge of a 1,000-car train, unchecked?
You should be concerned. You should be concerned. There are a couple people there to possibly rein him in — Ruth (Alison Wright) is there — but you should be concerned. An unchecked Wilford is not good. But it sure is fun to watch Sean play that! [Laughs]

TVLINE | Is Season 3 almost a bit of a chase movie, between the two trains?
There will be some chasing, but it will not be the full season. We definitely have lots of narratives happening. There’s survival, there’s [what happened to] Melanie, there’s research on the train, there’s the ultimate goal….

TVLINE | Because Layton wants to catch up to and get back their train, but Wilford surely won’t want that to happen.
They definitely have different agendas. They will never see eye to eye.

TVLINE | I suppose that fish is now off the menu for everyone….
I know! It’s kind of sad…. But wasnt that visual effect fantastic? [Visual effects supervisor Geoff Scott and visual effects producer Darren Bell] did a great job with that.

TVLINE | I need to know, was that supposed to be an actual Ferris wheel inside of the carnival car…?
We had something people sat in, yeah! But here’s the thing: We had to shoot the carnival after we had to shut down for COVID, so while it was incredible and they did a great job, it was potentially going to be on a larger scale and with more people involved.

TVLINE | And lastly, looking to Season 3: Where is the new character played by Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife) going to materialize from?
Ohhh, that will make Season 3 super-exciting — definitely a reason to tune in. It’s kind of a collision of all the things we discussed, coming together.

Cable viewers were spoilt by a double dose of Snowpiercer tonight on TNT, with two brand new episodes also coming to Netflix on Tuesday. After an exhilarating second season, fans sounded off on Twitter when the fate of Melanie Cavill (played by Jennifer Connelly) was left hanging over a cliff edge.

Viewers have shared their crushed reactions to the jaw-dropping twist ending that just capped off Snowpiercer’s second season.

The second most popular cable drama returned after a week’s hiatus to deliver a two-part finale of epic proportions, ‘The Show Must Go On’ and ‘Into the White’.

When the series last left off, Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) launched his plan to take over Snowpiercer, and this week treated the passengers to an extravagant carnival.

By the end of this week’s instalment, Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Melanie’s daughter, Alex (Rowan Blanchard) had split the vessel apart to form their own ‘pirate train’.

Unfortunately, their quest to find and safely retrieve Melanie from the frozen research station was a failure.

Having located her last recorded location, Andre and Alex discovered Melanie had seemingly stepped out into the frozen wilderness when she realised she wouldn’t be rescued.

The episode ended on a tear-jerking final note as Alex read the last entry of Melanie’s journal, which confirmed the worst had happened.

As the finale wrapped up on TNT, fans were inconsolable as they mourned the loss of one of Snowpiercer’s most beloved characters.

Importantly, season two featured a number of flashback sequences between Wilford and Melanie, throwing doubt over how Snowpiercer’s former Head of Hospitality could return.

There’s a strong chance Connelly will be taking a backseat when the series returns, and only appear in a handful of flashbacks as a special guest appearance.

However, after her ambiguous and, for some, disappointing off-screen death, several fans are already convinced Melanie is still out there alive somewhere.

One fan complained: “Man I have to say I’m kind of disappointed with that off screen death, Snowpiercer. Good finale but I don’t like when you kill a character like that off-screen.”

While another theorised: “So… I’m not convinced that Melanie is dead on Snowpiercer. We haven’t seen a body, so I’m hopeful that Alex will find her somehow.”

Melanie’s research this season confirmed the frozen Earth is actually warming up in some spots, so there’s a slim chance of her survival in the outside world.

Snowpiercer’s third season is currently in production but isn’t expected to air before the start of 2022, so fans will just have to keep speculating until then.

Snowpiercer season 2 is available to stream on Netflix from Tuesday, March 30.

At the end of season one, viewers saw Bloom (played by Abigail Cowen), Stella (Hannah Van der Westhuysen), Musa (Elisha Applebaum) and Aisha (Precious Mustapha) and Terra return to Alfea College after a trip to California to find Rosalind (Lesley Thorp) had taken over as headmistress. 

The fairies are yet to find out Farah Dowling (Eve Best) is dead but with Stella’s mother Queen Luna (Kate Fleetwood) showing support to Rosalind, it’s likely they will need all the allies they can find. 

On what fans can expect from season two, Eliot said that “Your guess is as good as ours,” since Netflix hasn’t yet officially renewed the show. 

For Terra, however, she thinks “it’d be interesting to see the limits of her powers. Terra is quite focused on little flowers and vines at the moment, so any expansion on that would be great.”

WARNING: This story contains spoilers for Fate The Winx Saga

Fate: The Winx Saga is a new teen drama series on Netflix based on the original Winx Club animation. The show includes themes of friendship and each of the fairies has the ability to control the elements. Bloom (played by Abigail Cowen) is called a “Changeling” in the series and fans are wondering what it means.

What is a Changeling?

Fans of the original Winx Club cartoon have been waiting for many years for a live-action adaptation.

The new series has added a dark twist to the story which saw a friendly group of glittering fairies fight off evil.

While the premise of the new series remains similar, the creators have chosen to add plenty of fight or flight moments.

The main protagonist in the series is Bloom and she is a Fairy of the Dragon Flame.

This means she has the ability to control fire and the strength of her powers comes from channeling her emotions.

Bloom and her friends have just started school at Alfea College – a magical teaching establishment in the Otherworld.

As the fairies get settled in they start to discover the quirks and mysteries within the area.

Bloom is called a “Changeling” in the series and fellow fairy Aisha (Precious Mustapha) explained to her what it meant.

A “Changeling” is a fairy baby switched with a human baby at birth – a theory Bloom strongly denies.

Many people wondered if Bloom was adopted as she did not come from a specific bloodline.

There is an understanding Rosalind took Bloom from Aster Dale and swapped her with a human baby born to a Californian family.

Her followers had then destroyed an entire village in Aster Dale to kill the dreaded Burned Ones.

Rosalind has embedded certain memories in Beatrix so she may not be revealing the whole truth.

Eva Birthistle plays Vanessa, Bloom’s adoptive mother who is covered in burn wounds from when Bloom once lost control of her powers.

Before Bloom started school she was blind to what really happened to her parents.

Fans are eagerly awaiting news of a second season so they can find out if Bloom discovers the truth about her past.

One said on Twitter: “Just finished Fate: The Winx Saga on Netflix and let me tell you I’m hooked!

“Don’t judge it on the TV show and just go watch it and make up your mind then. But it’s really so good.”

Cowen took part in an interview with Glamour Magazine about her iconic character and the intensity of her role.

She said: “I found out [about the role] a week or two before I had to fly out so it was a huge shock. I never had a role this big before.

“I think you just have to kind of roll with the punches when you get there and hope for the best.”

Warning: This recap contains major spoilers for A Million Little Things‘ Season 3 premiere.

After a long and agonizing wait, A Million Little Things fans on Thursday got the answer to the question that’s been lying there, bleeding on the pavement since March:

Did that hit-and-run in the Season 2 finale kill Eddie?

Thankfully, the answer is no. In the Season 3 opener, after some strangers administer CPR and call an ambulance, Theo’s dad spends a bunch of touch-and-go hours in the hospital’s intensive care unit before he wakes up and recognizes both Katherine and their son. But it’s not all good news: When Theo climbs up on his dad’s hospital bed, it becomes clear that Eddie has no feeling in his legs.

Fast-forward a month, and Eddie is discharged. He’s in good spirits but he realizes the road ahead will be hard: He’s unable to walk and must use a wheelchair to get around.”I can’t help but feel like once again I’ve let you down, and I would totally understand if you said you just can’t do this anymore,” he tells Katherine on their way home.

a-million-little-things-premiere-recap-season-3-episode-1When they arrive back at the house, the gang is there: Rome, Regina, Gary, Darcy, Delilah, Theo, Sophie, Charlie and even Maggie (via FaceTime from Oxford). They’ve built ramps to the house’s front and back entrances, which touches Eddie. But he’s nearly undone when Katherine wheels him through the house to the backyard, where everything is set up for them to finally renew their vows the way they were supposed to the night of his hit-and-run.

So they go through with the ceremony. In his vows (which were written before the accident), Eddie acknowledges that he broke their original marriage pact — cut to Delilah looking chagrined (heh) — but that he is grateful for what they’ve built in the aftermath. He starts to cry a little as he references Jon’s “million little things” toast and says, “For me, people are the people who hold your hand as you take a million little steps in the right direction.” The whole shebang ends on an up note, with Eddie saying he can get through anything because of the love he and Katherine share. And when they kiss, everyone applauds.

Across the street, a man in a red pickup truck watches the group from afar. It’s the father of Alex, the woman with whose death Eddie thinks he might have been involved all those years ago. And he doesn’t seem very happy for the newly remarried couple. (Make sure to read our premiere post mortem to see what series creator DJ Nash has to say about that little twist.)

In other news:

a-million-little-things-premiere-recap-season-3-episode-1* Maggie’s new roommate in Oxford is a guy named Jamie (played by You’re the Worst‘s Chris Geere) with whom she has a very awkward first encounter.

* Gary and Darcy are going strong, but we learn that he never told her that he went to the airport to see Maggie before she left. When she gently confronts him with this fact, he apologizes, and they seem to get past it pretty easily.

* Fresh off their heartache with Eve, Rome and Regina have the opportunity to adopt a different baby that’s being born in another part of the state on the night of Eddie’s accident. When Katherine gives them her blessing to go and deal with it, Rome deeply wants to move ahead and try to put the loss of their potential son behind them. But Regina can’t shift her feelings so easily, and Rome eventually tells the social worker that they’re not going to adopt this new child. Long story short: Things are not OK between R&R.

Mom‘s Season 8 premiere did not waste any time explaining why Anna Faris‘ Christy Plunkett is no longer in the picture.

It was previously reported that Faris would step away from her starring role on the hit CBS sitcom to pursue other opportunities. At the time, Faris released a statement which in part read, “The past seven years on Mom have been some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career. I’m so thankful to Chuck [Lorre], the writers, and my amazing castmates for creating a truly wonderful work experience.”

At the start of Thursday’s season opener, Bonnie and Adam were driving back from the airport, where they had just left Christy. That’s when Bonnie revealed the good news: her aspiring-attorney daughter was off to Washington D.C., having gotten a full ride to a top-ranked Jesuit law school.

“Every mom dreams of the day when they drop their 42-year-old daughter off at the airport to go to school,” she said. “Georgetown Law School on a full scholarship? Phew! A lot of parents would be in a puddle of tears right now.”

As to be expected, Bonnie brought the waterworks in a matter of seconds. And as soon as she reminded Adam of the sweet Father’s Day card that his stepdaughter got for him last year, he, too, bawled his eyes out.

Mom co-creator Gemma Baker previously told TVLine that Faris’ departure would not impede Christy’s happy ending. “One of the beautiful things about recovery is that quite often people’s lives get bigger and better than they could have imagined,” she said. “And that will be Christy’s experience. We are pretty sure that our audience, many of whom have been rooting for Christy since the pilot, will be happy for her and satisfied by her new path.”

While Christy did not make a final appearance in the episode, she did get in touch with her mother via telephone to check in during Tammy’s birthday sleepover (we, of course, only heard Bonnie’s side of the call).

'Mom' Season 8, Episode 1During the party, childhood games revealed adult problems. For starters, Marjorie told her friends that she needs to have a stent placed in her heart. While angioplasty isn’t as serious as, say, a heart transplant, Christy’s former sponsor was gravely concerned that she wouldn’t live long enough to see her granddaughter grow up.

Meanwhile, birthday girl Tammy had to decide whether or not to accept a call from her estranged father, who is currently serving an extended sentence for the murder of Tammy’s mom. She ultimately took his call, but kept it short. During the conversation, she found out that Dad has also adopted a sober lifestyle.

As for Jill, she initially boasted about her very active sex life with Andy, then disclosed her fear that she and Andy have very little else in common. (Ruh-roh!) And while the series has opted to sidestep the coronavirus pandemic entirely, the women took a moment to stress the invaluable work done by nurses when first-responder Wendy expressed guilt over a recent patient’s demise.

Were you satisfied with how Mom handled Christy’s off-screen departure? And what did you think of the Season 8 premiere overall? Weigh in via the following polls, then drop a comment with your full review.

Anna Faris‘ Mom departure will not stand in the way of Christy Plunkett’s happy ending.

Fans of the long-running CBS comedy can rest easy knowing that Bonnie’s daughter won’t be pushed in front of a moving train, squashed by a baby grand piano, or worse, offed by kung-fu coupon. She also won’t succumb to any one of the many vices she kicked on her seven-year journey with sobriety.

In an interview with TVLine, series co-creator Gemma Baker assures us that viewers will in fact be “satisfied” with Christy’s “new path” when all is revealed in the Season 8 premiere (airing Thursday, Nov. 5, at 9/8c).

“One of the beautiful things about recovery is that quite often people’s lives get bigger and better than they could have imagined,” Baker says. “And that will be Christy’s experience. We are pretty sure that our audience, many of whom have been rooting for Christy since the pilot, will be happy for her and satisfied by her new path.”

Meanwhile, with her daughter out of the apartment, Bonnie finds herself at a crossroads. “Christy’s absence will have a ripple effect on Bonnie throughout the season,” Baker says of Allison Janney’s character. “Part of Bonnie’s journey this year will be to figure out what she wants to do now that she’s actually grown up.”

Part of that journey will involve Adam, as husband and wife adjust to an empty nest. “With all the alone time, [Bonnie and Adam] discover that they actually really like each other,” Baker teases. “So much so that they try to help another couple achieve their level of happiness to mixed results.”

Mom Season 8 - Jill, Bonnie and MarjorieAmong the couples that may or may not need Bonnie and Adam’s help are Jill and Andy, who hit a rough patch early on in Season 8.

“Jill’s desire to move their relationship along causes some friction,” Baker says. “Out of this conflict, Jill will have an opportunity to learn about who she truly is and what she wants.”

Meanwhile, a new relationship will expose “a different side” of Marjorie, says Baker, as Christy’s former sponsor “falls in love with a new fella” for the first time since the death of her second husband, Victor. In turn, “We will also get to see a different side of our other ladies,” including Wendy and Tammy, “when [it’s revealed] they don’t like him.”

News that Faris was walking away from her role as Christy, in order to pursue other opportunities, broke on Sept. 4. At the time, Faris released a statement which in part read, “The past seven years on Mom have been some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career. I’m so thankful to Chuck [Lorre], the writers, and my amazing castmates for creating a truly wonderful work experience.”

How do you think Mom will resolve Christy’s storyline, based on the hints above? And what are your hopes for the Anna Faris-less Season 8?
