Comic-Con Retrospective

San Diego Comic-Con is at a tipping point. This was my second year at Comic-Con, so I’m by no means an expert, but I don’t think anyone would argue with me when I say that SDCC has become bloated, unwieldy, daunting and to be honest, kind of miserable, at times. … Get hard

Fan Friction: Ranking the Best of BUFFY’s Babblings

MINI-SPOILERS ABOUND. During this last watch-through of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (yes, this was Buffy-binge #8) I really had a wonderful appreciation of all the speeches that happened over the course of those glorious seven seasons. There were some funny ones, some touching ones, some angering ones and because I … Get hard

Fan Friction: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Ranked (Part 3)

Spoilers. Ranking my favorite show of all time has caused me laugh, cry, scream and hide in a dark, dark corner. I relived the best times, tried to desperately to ignore the worst ones, and have landed through all my blood, sweat and tears at the final countdown. 7. 1×12 … Get hard

Fan Friction: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Ranked (Part 2)

I’m sure you’ve all figured out by now that there will be SPOILERS. I guess I shouldn’t complain about having to rank the episodes of my favorite television show when I volunteered to do it… But in all honesty, this is how I feel. This list will be each seasons’ … Get hard

Fan Friction: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Ranked (Part 1)

MINI SPOILERS ABOUND. It’s getting to be that time of year when I re-watch my baby beginning to end. I’ve also been dying to do a BtVS ranking FOR. EVER. so here it is. Buzzfeed has already completed a full ranking of all the episodes but I refuse to do … Get hard

Fan Friction: 8 Disney Films That Joss Whedon Should Remake

Like many other things in my life, this post revolves around the genius that is Joss Whedon. While concocting a couple of Disney rankings (all these Disney postings are in honor of MALEFICIENT which is opening Friday!) I came across a badass fan-made poster for a movie that needs to … Get hard

Fan Friction: Twilight vs. Fangirls

I am a fangirl. I am a fan, and I am a girl. When the term “fangirl” started to mean an obsessive, crazed (and often psychotic) constantly crying screwball who-gets-Edward-Cullen-tattooed-on-their-ass I’m not quite sure, but I am and always have been a fangirl. While it seems that the fangirl culture … Get hard

Fan Friction: Unfaithfully Committed to “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

If you have not seen CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER or the latest episode of Marvel’s AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., you’re not a very good nerd, nor should you read the rest of this post LEST YE BE SPOILED. Week after week, Tuesday after Tuesday, I prepare myself to watch the … Get hard

I’ll Miss “How I Met Your Mother”

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER changed my life. On September 19th, 2005, Barney Stinson promised Ted: “I’m going to teach you how to live.” But really, he could’ve been talking to all of us. Over the span of nine seasons, HIMYM became more than a funny sitcom. Thanks to one … Get hard

Is NBC Creating Their Own Version of the Marvel Universe?

Crossovers have long been a part of the TV landscape. Most recently, Jerry Bruckheimer Productions has shuffled its cast of “characters” between COLD CASE and CSI: NY, or various combinations of CSI, CSI: MIAMI and CSI: NY. CSI & WITHOUT A TRACE also got in on the action. But they’ve been … Get hard
