24:00 - Paradise Pictures - USA Network Pilot Not Moving Forward
USA Network is not going to Paradise.
The NBCUniversal-owned cable network has opted to pass on the 1940s Hollywood drama pilot, with producers Universal Cable Productions shopping the project to other networks, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
From Suits duo Aaron Korsh and Rick Muirragui, the drama stars Morgan Spector, Denyse Tontz and Duane Henry and centers on ambitious people striving to get to the top in 1940s Hollywood when the dream factory was at its peak. They aren't, however, prepared for the challenges they're about to face: the end of the studio monopolies, the blacklist and the new disruptive technology of television.

19:00 - Once Upon a Time - Season 5 - Colin O'Donoghue TVLine Interview
Thanks to Anneliese for the heads up.
TVLINE | To be clear: Hook’s end game is to get revenge on Rumple one way or another, be it death or banishment to the Underworld. But the Dark Ones that just arrived on the boat, their end game is to “snuff out the light”?
That’s part of Hook’s end game too, because he is the Darkness, they all exist as one in whoever is the conduit. When we see Nimue talking to Merlin in the last episode, she appears to Merlin but she’s still a part of Hook. Now, bringing [the Dark Ones] back from the Underworld, they exist as separate entities but their overriding mission is to snuff out the light. Hook is willing to do that as well — and if he gets his revenge, that’s an added bonus!
TVLINE | So, we’re getting some flashbacks in Sunday’s midseason finale?
We are. You get to see a bit of Hook’s relationship with his father (played by EastEnders‘ Adam Croasdell), which I was really excited to explore. That time was a huge part of what made Killian Jones become who he was.
TVLINE | Those flashbacks are with a kid, though, right? Not you?
There is some with a kid (played by Salem‘s Oliver Bell), but you also get to see a little bit of older Killian Jones, played by me, interacting with “Papa Hook,” as the fans are calling him.
