Lucifer’s daddy is home for the fifth and final season of “Lucifer”: the Tom Ellis-led series has cast Dennis Haysbert in the role of God.
Lucifer’s (Ellis) father, God, “will appear throughout,” the final season of the supernatural drama, but additional plot and character details are being kept under wraps, a spokesperson for Netflix confirmed to TheWrap.
There are only two other instances of God making an appearance on “Lucifer” — but neither actually involved casting the role. In Season 3, when the show was still on Fox, Neil Gaiman voiced the big man upstairs in the “Once Upon a Time” episode. And in Season 2, Timothy Omundson (“Psych”) appeared in an episode as a man who claimed that he was God.

It looks like Lucifer will be getting reacquainted with the big man upstairs. The Netflix drama has cast God for its fifth and final season, tapping 24 vet Dennis Haysbert for the role.
Per EW.com, who first reported Haysbert’s casting, God “will appear throughout” Lucifer‘s last season, though additional details aren’t yet available. Author Neil Gaiman previously voiced the character in the Season 3 episode “Once Upon a Time,” while Timothy Omundson (Psych) appeared in a Season 2 installment as a man who claimed to be God.

The binge-viewing model that streaming video makes possible can work wonders with the right show. If you've never seen "Breaking Bad" or "The Wire" or "Boardwalk Empire" before and can plow through entire seasons in a weekend, the experience can in many ways be even better than if you had watched them weekly in real time when they first aired. Stories fit together more neatly, characters are easier to keep track of, themes and subtext become richer and more apparent. Then there are the shows for which the binge is not their friend — where the more you watch of them in short order, the more glaring their flaws become and the less exciting their strengths seem. Ironically, one of those shows is the flagship creation of the leader in streaming video: Netflix's "House of Cards," where the more I've watched — and the closer together I've watched it — the less I've thought of it.

As much as I want to, I’m not going to give you my Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 rant again. I’ve done it several times before and by this point, I’ve just accepted the fact that the film is indeed happening and that on April 17th, 2015, I’ll be left with no choice but to shut my eyes and look away from the complete train wreck that it will be.
The Andy Fickman-directed sequel is currently gearing up for production and today, it has added another member to its cast. D.B. Woodside, perhaps best known for his role as Wayne Palmer on 24, has signed on to star alongside Kevin James, Molly Shannon, Nicholas Turturro and Neal McDonough (who’s playing the main antagonist this time around, which is perhaps the one thing to look forward to here).

In all the history of film and television, the President of the United States has only ever been played by a black man seven times (technically, eight). In all seven of those representations, only twice has the president not been undergoing some sort of national/worldwide/intergalactic disaster. Granted, usually when any man plays the president, its usually some kind of disaster film, but even then, most them get to be action heroes. Harrison Ford made Gary Oldman get off his plane -- Air Force One -- and Bill Pullman suited up to duke it out with the aliens in Independence Day. But the black prez rarely get a chance to throwdown.
In the two films where the black president takes office and there's not a national emergency, both presidents take office only after Whitey dies. In Head of State, Chris Rock is Mays Gilliam, an Alderman nominated only because...

I absolutely adore 24 and as a die-hard fan I think it's a brilliant show. It not only revolutionized television with its real-time format, but has been consistently entertaining since day one. Kiefer Sutherland was already somewhat of a star when the series premiered, but he became a household name synonymous with his character Jack Bauer, a hard as nails government agent out to protect the innocent and seek justice at the cost of his own life. I'm just as sorry as any fan to see the show go after eight seasons, but I'm also relieved. 24 has grown more than a little tired over the years, with story-lines and plot devices that have become incredibly familiar. That's because much of what we see has occurred before and every story line, plot thread or turn of events feels directly copied from previous seasons. Jack and his colleagues not only find themselves in the same situations,...

There was a lot to like about this week's episode of 24, following an hour that stuck to a simple, tight, emotional storyline.
Of course, because this is 24, there was also a lot to make fun of... in the most affectionate way possible, that is.
A trio of TV Fanatic staff members has gathered below. We encourage reader feedback on the following questions and topics...
Eulogize Marcos.
M.L. House: Your bug eyes will be missed almost as much as the Presidency of Wayne Palmer, on whose shoulders you and your father's deaths both reside. He always sucked compared to his brother.
Lj Gibbs: Marcos always looked good in a vest. Unfortunately, in the end, it became a look he could not pull off.
The Barnacle: Alas, poor Marcos! I knew him, Jack, a fellow of infinite suicide vest, of most excellent hyperbarity.
Is that Bill Prady guy really Kevin's parole officer?...

This episode really ups the emotional ante on the season as see the devastating effect the day's actions have on an individual level.
As Marcos is hunkered down in the hospital chamber, his fellow terrorists have walked him through an intricate diagram of the circuit configuration on the explosives. A green light shows he's already through one of the four circuits needed for manual detonation. Thanks to the oxygen-rich environment, a low-speed drill is needed to get through the door so Eta is roughly 40 minutes. Chloe's background check shows that Marcos' dad was a college professor who was vocal about his criticism of Us government. In a nice nod to back story it's revealed that he was imprisoned during the Islamic round-up in Wayne Palmer's administration and the subsequent black-balling drove him to suicide.
Don't miss some of 24's most notable supporting characters.

The following 24 review takes place between 6:43 a.m. and 6:59 a.m. Words are written in real time...
This may have been the least eventful episode so far, but that's actually what made it our favorite hour of the season.
The show has always exceled at telling mini dramas within the larger picture, especially when it comes to humanizing those young terrorists that aren't entirely convinced of the causes for which they've signed up.
That was certainly the case this week, as great performances by Marcos and his mother helped anchor the 2 a.m. hour in real, human drama. I've often thought 24 should return to a tighter plot (such as season one, or the 24 movie in Africa) in order to emphasize this kind of emotion, as opposed to painting such broad strokes of nuclear disaster that it's impossible for the villains to written as anything but caricatures.

Monday is Presidents Day, so while you're taking the day off -- or at least not taking time to read the mail you won't get -- we hope you'll cast a vote in our straw poll. The question is simple: Who's your favorite fictional TV president?
The past 10 years has been something of a golden age for presidents-as-characters on TV. "The West Wing," obviously, was set in the White House, but "24" has given us several memorable POTUSes, and there have been several others too. TV presidents are also a more diverse lot than their real-life counterparts: The list below includes two African-American men and four women in addition to a few white guys.
(We opted not to include "The West Wing's" Matt Santos and "24's" John Keeler and Noah Daniels as their respective shows didn't spend much time on them once they took office.)
Here are the contenders, in alphabetical order:

The following review takes place between 6:56 and 7:19 a.m. Words are written in real time...
We welcomed back a pair of old friends to 24 this week:
A storyline involving nuclear weapons. Renee Walker.
Because the first led to the second, let's delve into that one now.
It would be nice to see a season that dealt with a single assassination plot, similar to the season one storyline that was almost entirely centered around an attempt on David Palmer's life. The world doesn't need to be at stake in order to produce great suspense, as the 24 movie in Africa also proved.
Still, this nuclear weapons-based storyline isn't similar (yet) to past seasons for one reason:
The enriched uranium is not on U.S. soil because an attack is planned. We have no doubt millions of American lives will soon be in danger, but for now the material is here...
