3. Comics Ruled the TV
This week saw the premieres of the Batman prequel "Gotham" and the second season of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Both shows got a strong start, but we want to know what you guys thought of the first episodes. Is anyone else totally creeped out by the Penguin?

4. "Game of Thrones" stars join Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Lena Headey who plays Cersei Lannister and Charles Dance who plays Tywin Lannister on "Game of Thrones" have joined the cast of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. These two are scary as a team in GoT, but it looks like they'll be fighting the evil undead along with Doctor Who's Matt Smith this time around.

6. Hot Toys releases incredibly lifelike Han and Chewbacca toys
In anticipation of Star Wars: Episode VII, Hot Toys has released one-sixth-scale collectible figures of Han Solo and Chewbacca. They're amazing, but they're super pricey. Each figure will set you back over $200. Still, they certainly are cool to look at! The toys are expected to ship in April of 2015.
Who shot first?
7. The iPhone 6 came out but it's apparently bending.
Well, maybe we shouldn't be putting the phone in our pockets? The iPhone 6 has been selling like hotcakes, but pictures of a bent phone have started to come out all over the place, and it's been a joke all over late night TV.
Oops bent iPhone 6
