Sunday, April 12, was the premiere of one of the most popular shows on television: Game of Thrones. And, if you’re like me, you made sure that work knew you were absolutely not available, bought a bottle of red wine, and readied yourself for another season full of betrayal, bloodshed, and some mother effin’ dragons. They’re…
In the third episode of the cult classic, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, entitled “Witch”, we are introduced to a key player in later seasons, Amy Madison. Also, witchcraft is first used and, hey(!), that’s pretty important. “You have a sacred birthright, Buffy. You were chosen to destroy vampires, not to…wave pompoms at people. And as the…
Everyone knows Alyson Hannigan from at least one of her three big roles: Michelle Flaherty in American Pie, the adorable Lily Aldrin from the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, or her first big role (and my personal favorite) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the well-rounded, slightly psychotic, always dorky Willow Rosenberg. Willow and…
March 10, 1997 marked the series premiere of my personal favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. What better way to celebrate the beginning of this cult favorite than to start up a tradition of my own: Buffy Tuesdays! Yes, from 1997 until 2003 Buffy graced our television screens on Tuesday nights (except I was eight, so…
Part one in the Doctor Who series eight finale literally hit the ground running. I didn’t really care for Danny. He was your normal guy. Liked to challenge the Doctor, which I admired, but overall he wasn’t someone that I particularly cared for. Except he died. He died, and however irritating Clara was this season,…
I love the fact that the 12th Doctor says how he feels. When the TARDIS began to shrinks and Clara was complaining about his fascination by saying that it was annoying, he responded with, “This is annoying” and gestured towards her. This Doctor is more like Sherlock. It’s just that Capaldi doesn’t have that goofiness…
Remember to enter our contest! Bleh! –Not the Editor (?) In the season five premiere of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy and the gang meet the infamous Dracula. Obviously, we’re all pretty skeptical until he goes poof, turns into a bat, and glamours Xander into his human slave. Before Dracula makes his appearance, however, the younger…
In the Buffyverse, Halloween is a time when demons and vampires take the day off. They prefer to steer clear of the marketed attempt to glorify things that go bump in the night and avoid silly costumes. While Buffy mourns her first college one-night stand, Giles encourages her to go out and have fun, just…
I will be the first to admit that I am new to the superhero craze (having only ever really cared for Toby McGuire’s Spider-Man series). That attribute of mine has gradually begun to change since Joss Whedon’s Avengers hit theaters in 2012. I don’t like to go into any fandom half-cocked, so I watched all of the…
After the emotional roller coaster that was the season one finale, Agent Coulson and his team have hit the ground running with a new villain, Absorbing Man (Carl Creel), and his interest in stealing a level ten 0-8-4 for Hydra. How seriously cool is Carl Creel? I know that he’s a bad guy, but he…
What is it about that orange suit that causes me so much anxiety? I have mixed feelings about “Kill the Moon”. First, I’d like to point out that it’s not the Doctor’s job to tell people that they’re special. Courtney can find her footing all on her own. I loved the fact that an important…
It just keeps getting better. Basically, it’s the eyebrows. I’m starting to really miss the 9th Doctor days when the phone ringing on the TARDIS was hilariously impossible. Didn’t he have a mobile before? I’m so glad to know that I’m not the only person who flipped out when we saw the tank of gas….
