Another piece of the puzzle unfolded in this week’s episode, finding out what happened to Heather back at the time of the fire that claimed the lives of a lot of the parents.

This show has a habit of torturing people. So far this year it’s been Caroline, Stefan, and me.

It is important for me to tell you that, while I love horror movies, I am also a big fat chicken. Back when I wore glasses, I would watch over their rim. After Lasik, well, I resort to covering my eyes, peeking through splayed fingers.

Earlier this summer, the fabulous Mary Higgins, her husband, and her children embarked on the kind of epic project that puts quality time in the annals of awesome: they wrote, produced, and filmed a zombie period piece as a webseries. Here, Mary talks about the concept for the series, the challenges of working with loved ones, and the advantages of removing everyone’s heads while filming.

Why is Stephen Lang acting like a sci-fi mashup frontier sheriff in a Syfy Original Movie? Why is he always holding his legs so far apart? His accent as Commander Taylor sounds like Rick Perry on a semi-lucid day. STOP IT!

What I want to talk about this week were five scenes, five simple but sophisticated scenes that took me to a place that I’d not been to in a long, long time.

I know it’s a TV show, but their possible budget restrictions shouldn’t prevent them from still doing some really good spell stuff.

I’m still holding out for some sort of awesome team up between Olivia and Fauxlivia. They better be wielding magic swords, too.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The End of the Affair
I am digging the fact that Stefan is no longer angsty and filled self-loathing over all the things he’s done in his horrible past. Instead, we get to see how awesomely murderous he was and just how much Klaus/Nick admires him.

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.

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 »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.”

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 »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 [...]

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.
