Game of Thrones: Creation Through Destruction
Season 1 of Game of Thrones is over and I’m already going through withdrawal.

Finale Fever
In the land of network television, the month of May can mean only one thing. Say it with me kids, ‘Season Finale!’ Good or bad, season finales are always an interesting proposition.

I mean, just ONCE I would like to be wowed by … Continue reading

Unfortunately, I’ve been struggling to adequately sum up my feelings on the tone and direction of Season 3. This isn’t to say that this season has been bad. In … Continue reading
Glee: We Want To Be In a Kissing Booth With Blaine
All of these months of hiatus from blogging from the world of television came about because of my lack of inspiration. This came to a screeching HALT tonight after Glee rocked my world. First and foremost, can we briefly discuss the fact that although I usually am not a fan of Valentine’s Day…I LOVED the … Continue reading
