In addition to all of the other news we’ve been reporting, here are a few entertainment and TV headlines you might have missed:
-Sophia Bush is heading to ‘Law & Order: SVU’ for a crossover episode. Her character from NBC’s ‘Chicago P.D.’ will pop up in New York City, alongside Mariska Hargitay. As Bush revealed, "We have a case that we need a little bit of help with that began in New York City and that we're now finding the M.O. in Chicago, and SVU was investigating it when it was up there and now it's on our hands.” Bush’s episode airs Wednesday, Feb. 26.

-'Modern Family’ is about to get even more comedic. According to TV Guide, Patton Oswalt and Fred Armisen will guest star during the Las Vegas episode, which the cast is filming now. The episode is set to air this spring.
-As previously reported, you can now watch the very first episode of Michael Bay’s ‘Black Sails.’ The pirate adventure, starring Toby Stephens, debuts on Starz Saturday, Jan. 25. Check out the first episode here:
It felt like a pilot (it is). They kind of crammed a lot together. Most shows grow a lot in the second/third episodes. It felt like a michael bay project (it is), hopefully they'll relax a bit and get deeper. I don't mind that they had some sort of dental plan. Complicating the dialogue would have detracted from the flow and feel that it had set up. Swearengen was... awesome--*looks up at the the editors* See? I can edit myself -- but I don't think he was the type of character that they wanted for this. That stuff is way out of michael bay's league, but the rest of the production staff had some familiar names too, Bear Mcreary for one, Alan Shearer, and Paul Grinder are guys who've done really good stuff and may be able help the show find it's footing and bring starz up to play with the big boys.
Have to agree completely with both Anonymous' below.
I've been looking so very much forward to this show, and although it wasn't exactly bad, it definitely wasn't as good as expected either. Especially the lack of well-written dialog and the language in general. Sad news unfortunately :/
Really hoping for improvements in the coming episodes, but having a hard time seeing it actually happen :(
