America and Britain have always had this special type of relationship, like that of a single mother and flippant overly emotional daughter. but for the most part, we tend to get along because we do have some staggering cultural similarities. We generally both like people who are polite, understand the value of a good education,…
Many shows that I watch a lot of other people, outside of the science fiction/fantasy community do not. Or they didn’t. It used to be that when describing Buffy, Angel, Dead Like Me, Firefly or any other mess of television shows that I had been interested in at the time would take a while to…
I’ve always had a soft spot for the opening credits of a show. In a lot of ways they used to be able to tell you so much about the show, specifically of course the actors and creators, but more importantly an overarching feel of the show as a whole. The right sequence, animation, or…
Without good writers, a television show tends to go bad real fast. And if a television show also goes past its expiration date, it also gets bad real fast like milk left out in the Arizona sun for seven days and nights becoming all chunky and yogurt like. So the problem is if the writers…
Anime is a cartoon, just a cartoon that originated in Japan. With that sentence I’m fairly certain I have just caused a weeaboo (like this guy) to perish. Like when you say “fairies aren’t real” and then they die in Peter Pan. I hope that does not apply for typing…quick someone clap! In any case…
Despite my attempts to keep it a secret, my eventual phase of a teenage pagan comes out of the woodwork every now and again. Not that I am ashamed of it, but the fact of the matter is, it makes me look like a poser. Despite my committment to cold hard research of the…
Last night I shouted “they’re coyotes you dumbfucks” at my television more than I normally do. In my grips of trying to stay awake before it is socially acceptable for a person of my age and demographic to go to sleep, I watched Syfy’s Haunted Highways starring Jack Osbourne, the D-List of celebrity stardom. That…
Great characters generally tend to have some pretty great endings, sometimes with a bang, happiness, but in a lot of ways tragedy, and in a lot of ways it’s a tragedy that goes on to help others. Self-sacrifice is probably one of the hardest to write and hardest to watch method of sending off a…
For whatever reason Generation Y, the Millenials as some people are calling us has been found guilty of the ones to usher in that genre of television known as reality and it has slowly snuck its way from just the mainstream networks and about twenty people left on an island to fend for themselves to…
Most superhero and chosen one type stories all boil down to the same idea of accepting who you are and what you can do and how you can’t change that so man the fuck up and kick some evil (insert your choice of baddie, mutant, demon, whathaveyou) ass instead of whining about it. While…
For anyone born during the early nineties and late eighties if you did not know what Digimon or Pokémon was you were banished to the dark side of the playground with kid that eats the glue and the drunk hobo that sleeps under the bridge. During the nineties you could not escape the Pokémon franchise…
If you consider yourself a fan and loyal consumer of J. K Rowling, or perhaps if curiosity has gotten the best of you, or plain procrastination you created a Pottermore account specifically to have the one and only accurate Sorting Hat Quiz to finally without a doubt tell you which house it is you belong…
