The 100 Clip: Raven’s Brain Upgrade Begins to Take its Toll
In this week's new episode of The 100, "DNR" -- airing Wednesday, April 26th -- Raven's condition begins to cripple her - the horrible side effect of retaining a small part of A.L.I.E.'s code in her head.
Here, in this exclusive scene from the episode, Murphy looks on while Raven tries to cover for her hallucinations. Visions so powerful that she actually winds up seeing someone rather unexpected inside the rocket. Here's a quick look...
The official summary for "DNR" reads:
Jasper (Devon Bostick) and Bellamy (Bob Morley) go on a quest. Meanwhile, Clarke (Eliza Taylor) struggles to keep the peace after word of Jaha’s (Isaiah Washington) discovery spreads.

NBC's DC comedy show Powerless is no longer on NBC's schedule for the next few weeks, and there's no indication of when the show will resume airing.
IGN can confirm that Powerless has currently been pulled from the schedule, with three episodes left in the season (one of which features a guest spot from Batman actor Adam West). No plans have been made yet, however, for when they might air.
As TVLine reports, Superstore will now fill in Powerless' Thursday night timeslot with reruns. Since its February 2 premiere, Powerless has struggled in the ratings and it's unclear whether the last episodes will still air.

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock Team for Netflix Movie
Adam Sandler is teaming up with Chris Rock once again for his next Netflix comedy feature film, The Week Of.
Deadline reports the movie, which will premiere on the streaming service in 2018, follows Sandler's character's daughter marrying Rock’s character’s son. The story will take place the week before the wedding. Production is set to begin this summer in Long Island.
“Similar in the romantic comedy tone of Sandler’s most recent film Sandy Wexler, this film will be the perfect vehicle for Sandler and Rock and their millions of fans around the world," said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.
Lion King Remake, Frozen 2 Get 2019 Release Dates
On the heels of Disney setting release dates for Star Wars: Episode IX and Indiana Jones V, the studio has also set 2019 release dates for the sequel to Frozen and the live-action remake of The Lion King.
The Lion King will hit theaters July 19, while Frozen 2 will come out on the more wintry date of November 27.
November 27 is a particularly apt date for Frozen 2 to be dropped, as it was on that same date in 2013 that Frozen got its wide release. You probably need no reminder of how popular Frozen was, considering that you likely only just got "Let It Go" out of your head. The Disney animated tale was a massive success, winning two Oscars and raking in almost $1.3 billion in worldwide, making it the highest-grossing animated film of all-time. A sequel was inevitable, and now we know when that inevitability will arrive.

4 Things We Want in a Pokemon Nintendo Switch Game
If the Nintendo Switch proves itself to be a worthy home to Pokemon with the rumored Pokemon Stars, we could see a brand new, mainline Pokemon entry come to the Nintendo Switch — the first mainline Pokemon game to ever hit a home console.
Previous Pokemon home console RPGs, Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, were incredibly limited compared to the core Pokemon games on handhelds, but for a reason. When coming up with the idea for Pokemon, the creators wanted something that would connect people, and handheld consoles (especially before the age of online games) were the best way to do that. GameFreak co-founder Junichi Masuda has said the Pokemon core series is always going to be on handheld hardware, but also commented, "I mean in the future it'd be nice to work on other systems if they were more portable."
