I am my own time machine. Only, I just go forward in real time instead of doing anything awesome like traveling to the future or the 1880s or within my own life, striving to put right what once went wrong.
Full Story »Terra Nova: Genesis
I’m not anti baby. I’m anti the Shannons’ “unsustainable humanity isn’t our problem” mentality that led to Zoe’s conception in the first place. Preventing overpopulation is a team effort, y’all.
Full Story »Alphas: Original Sin
Anna’s death was a bit of pop-culture jiujitsu on the part of the writers. You can’t even make the woman in a refrigerator argument without being ableist.
Full Story »Women In Comics – Some Perspective
Oh no! Starfire has sex! Oh no! Catwoman has sex and shows everybody her BRASSIERE! Oh no! There’s a lot more men than women working for the big comic book publishers! Well, here’s some perspective. From a time when comic books were a publishing FORCE, selling in the millions each month across a wide variety [...]
Full Story »All Men of Genius: A Reviewbuttal
Because it’s a review and a rebuttal. Having had lofty, scientific aspirations as a kid, I couldn’t help but read All Men of Genius by Lec AC Rosen, the story of a plucky girl scientist in steampunk Victorian England, with the enthusiasm of my 5th grade self.
Full Story »Supernatural: Meet the New Boss
If I wanted this much Christian mythology shoved down my throat, I would have gone to the local bible thumping Christian cult church and sat in on their “How to Spot the Mark of the Beast” seminar, which included free kool-aid, free parking, and prizes for the kids!
Full Story »Flawed Feminism in All Men of Genius
Guest post by Lev AC Rosen
I’d really like to think that my novel is a feminist work. But the truth is, I think that if it is, it’s flawed in its feminism.
Full Story »Fringe: Neither Here Nor There
Olivia vs. Fauxlivia: I am ready for it. I liked their confrontation at the end, how cold and tough Olivia presented herself, and how Fauxlivia just laughed it off, like: “I’m you. You don’t scare me.”
Full Story »The Secret Circle: Bound
I also love that for all her villainy makings, Faye is still a teen. For all her bravado, she is still only 16 and at least she acts it. I definitely appreciate that, as I can’t stand the oversexualization in so many other shows
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The Hybrid
Today I’m focusing on the overly mature teenage girl and her love for a mass murdering vampire(s). What is Elena’s appeal to all things fanged? She’s like catnip for vampires. She’s vampire nip.
Full Story »Getting Started with Muppets Merchandise
I don’t know anyone right now who has $45 to spend on a Muppets t-shirt made in China (or $180 for a Muppets button-up shirt for that matter), but Opening Ceremony has ‘em.
Full Story »Books: The Half-Made World
The Half-Made World has a strong mythology built in that unfolds with little explanation, leaving it mostly up to the reader to make sense of it. Author Felix Gilman just opens up and runs amok in this world he’s created, and it’s the reader’s responsibility to keep up.
Full Story »Alphas: The Unusual Suspects
I love that Alphas functions entirely within the realm of logic. It’s kind of like a Sherlock Holmes story that way. With a Holmes mystery, everything is there for the reader to put together. Any very observant person with a sharp mind can solve the mystery. It’s just that most of us aren’t as observant [...]
Full Story »Apocalypse Closet: Spring 2012 Ready to Wear
Style.com named checked both Game of Thrones and Mad Max in their review of Herve Leger. The label took their obnoxious bandage dress and turned it into warrior queen garb equally fit for Daenerys Targaryen or Auntie Entity.
Full Story »Doctor Who: The God Complex
It’s pretty typical for me to shove down my daily frustration and press on, to the point that when something even remotely sad happens on TV, I immediately become a sobbing mass of humanity on the couch, trying to hug a cat that wriggles away, leaving me to clutch an old throw pillow.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The Birthday
Way back when, Stefan was known as the Ripper. I’m hoping he eats Elena while he’s evil because that’s what vampires should do.
Full Story »The Secret Circle: Pilot
The selling point on this show for me? The fact that I’m Wiccan. So I approached The Secret Circle with intrigue and…I loved the pilot.
Full Story »Weaponized Miss Universe Contestants
These contestants look like they’ve stepped out of a horror film only to be glitter-bombed upon arrival to the real world. They may be mocked around the media, but any of these costumes would fit right in at a convention.
