For months and months, my ATX Festival friends (Karrie and Dana) and I (Kayti) have been trying to get our act together and start… Read more »
Hello, fandom friends! Well, the Nerd Olympics (or a better analogy) is over for this year. Time for us all — or, more accurately, the ones who were lucky enough to snag tickets — to retreat back into the Internet. Perhaps to come out again at New York Comic Con. Perhaps only to peek our… Read more »
Hollywood spends a lot of time shilling superhero narratives at us, and, like many Americans, I consume these stories with gluttonous enthusiasm. Arrow is my favorite show. I have seen all of the Marvel universe movies (except Thor 2). And I am ready to adore CBS’ Supergirl in a completely unironic way. That being said,… Read more »
Have you checked out Syfy’s space bounty hunter drama Killjoys? Though the series’ pilot is a little clunky, the show is a lot of fun — and it’s doing a lot to fill the Firefly-shaped hole still festering away in my TV-loving heart. Don’t get me wrong: Killjoys is not doing the exact same thing… Read more »
I spend way too much time getting down on myself about the TV episodes I haven’t gotten around to watching, the think pieces I have yet to read, and the sure-to-be pop culture-shattering articles I have yet to move from my brain to the screen. Call it fandom-related FOMO. Call it the insatiable desire to succeed we Millennials… Read more »
Orphan Black took a risk in its sixth episode of the season, taking a relative breather to draw a long-deceased clone back into the fold: Beth Childs. No, we’re not getting Zombie!Beth, but rather a version of the deceased clone in Sarah’s fever-induced hallucinations. This Beth appearance could have been an awkward, convoluted plot device,… Read more »
Orphan Black embraces the ickiness in Season 3, Episode 4 (“Newer Elements of Our Defense”). Seriously, I spent this entire episode flinching and/or hiding behind my hands. In itself, this is neither a compliment nor an insult — at least from me. I don’t seek out unsettling gore in TV, but I am also not… Read more »
WARNING: HERE BE SPOILERS FOR AGENT CARTER SEASON 1. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK… This past weekend, I spent three glorious days engaging in fandom at the Philadelphia Comic Con. The stand out of the event? A 45-minute Q&A with Agent Carter star Hayley Atwell in which she said awesome things like she hopes Agent Carter is a… Read more »
Orphan Black stepped up the Castor clone narrative in Season 3, Episode 3 (“Formalized, Complex, and Costly”), but at what seems to be the cost of Mark’s life. For those keeping track at home, this is the second subsequent episode that a Castor clone was killed. Not cool, Orphan Black. Not cool…. “Please, I love… Read more »
Can we take a minute to talk about Orphan Black’s badass, nuanced, complex depiction of motherhood? Thanks. This feminist drama has always been a refreshing, revolutionary representation of what it means to be a mother on TV (i.e. you can be a mother and still get to be, you know, a person), but Season 3… Read more »
