Birthdays in Paradiso Birthdays are … treated like they are now, I guess? But for people like Dee Manzen, they can be difficult. For starters, she doesn’t know when – or where – she was born originally, so she just goes by the date she remembers waking up for the first time: in the middle

So I missed yesterday for school reasons – that care plan wasn’t going to write itself, and it was a doozy – but I’ll be making that up today. Now, it’s way easier to show you rather than tell you what my favorite fight scene is, but after the video, I’ll discuss it a little
-
In a primarily action-oriented show, oh my God, are there so many fights to choose from, and you’d think that, due to my general apathy toward Vicious, that he wouldn’t be in my top choice. But you’d be wrong. Even though the final showdown between Vicious and Spike is epic, I just had to go
-
As a writer, the second act is always the most interesting to me: this is the meat of the overarching story, expanding on the themes usually briefly touched in the first act but not resolving them in a manner that the final act does. The viewer kind of expects things to be open-ended, eventually leading

Xena is arguably world-famous, mostly due to the fact that she was a ruthless warrior princess, but it’s safe to say she is pretty recognizable. But Xena: Warrior Princess writers would have us believing that there are not one, not two, but at least three women in “Ancient” Greece that are exact copies of Xena.

Okay, so I’m gonna start this with a disclaimer: i had initially titled a lot of these entries as “best,” but I ultimately decided to go with “favorite” instead. “Favorite” and “best” are two completely different animals, even if they’re both subjective, and this entry is a great example of that. The best Mass Effect

So I think three in one day is a good record! Especially since I spent a good portion of my day moving furniture. I’m gonna try to keep this up tomorrow, too, so be prepared for lots of later-series favorites … which are kinda slim pickings, but hey, at least the actors got paid obscene
-
There is only one episode that I skip over every time, and that is Season Two’s “Sister City.” I may be in the minority here, as I’ve found it on several favorites lists over the years, but I just don’t find it funny. Like … any of it. The plot is thin, and everybody just

I’m just going to get this out of the way: Season Three is a depressing season. I can’t expect television shows to constantly deliver me happy feelings (well, unless it’s Parks and Recreation), but damn, this season is rough. From the Death Squad in “Collaborators” to Starbuck’s apparent death in “Maelstrom,” I had a hard

Today is a special one because not one, but two birthdays are going on: my loving father and my surprisingly zippy, eleven-year-old bulldog, Zola! And because today is what it is, I am going to be quick about today’s challenge. After all, how am I supposed to celebrate the births of two of the greatest creatures on
