TV Review: Ms. Marvel Episode 1: Generation Why
July 7, 2022I am a huge Ms. Marvel fan, so of course I’m tackling this one an episode at a time. Kamala has been one of my favorites for awhile. My partner has been looking forward to the series as well, and after the first episode he said he felt it was written for a younger audience […]
Movie Review: Morbius
May 17, 2022Warning: This is going to be a rambling review from yours truly. My introduction to Morbius, the Marvel comics character was this dude: A character from the 90s Spiderman cartoon series. Unlike the other Spiderman cartoons, this one introduced Morbius, had Blade as a guest star, and I have to admit it, I was a […]
TV Review: Doctor Who Season One (2005)
March 19, 2022There’s no question that Doctor Who is a long time essential speculative fiction world.

My first exposure to the Doctor came from horror, namely the […]
TV Review: WandaVision
April 24, 2021Or wherein your author gets emotional. My mom died when I was 9 and those (what feels like) eons ago, people weren’t as quick to get therapy, or talk about their emotions as much. Or maybe it was just my family. When my new life with my dad started so did one of the greatest […]
TV Review: Arrow Season 3
January 22, 2021With this season the battle in Oliver Queen over whether he is a terrible person and dangerous to everyone around him or not peaks and crashes. As a romance buds between Oliver and my absolutely favorite character, Felicity Smoak, builds, so does Oliver’s survivor’s guilt. No wonder Felicity gets upset because certainly such thoughts haven’t […]
TV Review: Arrow Season 2
January 15, 2021Many writers have focused on the conflict between Green Arrow, the vigilante, and Oliver Queen, the wealthy businessman in the comics and in commentary on the legacy of Green Arrow. In this season of Arrow writers wholly embrace this conflict. Oliver is clearly no longer the Oliver everyone knew before the island. Like many people […]
TV Review: Vampire Diaries season 1
October 3, 2020Like a lot of people stuck at home, I’ve started binging all those shows I’ve been wanting to watch. I put this one off because I’m not an unbiased viewer.

T.V. Review: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season 1
February 22, 2020I’m not even sure where to begin with this one. I suppose it was blissfully inevitable between the growth of society and the evolution of the supernatural t.v. genre. Inspired by the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina graphic novels, as well as the original Sabrina the Teenage Witch comics, this version jumps neck deep into LaVeyan […]
