Adjectives to describe Paradiso Well, this is harder than it seems, seeing as I’ve been staring at my screen for the last fifteen minutes without any progress. It’s always easier to describe other people’s works: Battlestar Galactica is gritty yet hopeful, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is quippy and irreverent, Bob’s Burgers is wholesome and witty

You know, I don’t think you’re ever prepared to see Saturn’s return. Every 25 years or so, everything sort of returns to its default setting, and you have to deal with the shit you hadn’t or have been avoiding or didn’t even realize you were struggling with. My 25th year of life was 2009, but

Surprisingly, there aren’t a ton of fan theories surrounding Cowboy Bebop, which kind of makes this day’s challenge a little difficult – and I have tests to study for! This show leaves a lot up in the air, so I think I’m going to go with a fairly interesting take on a simple concept: is

Okay, I will say this: John Williams’ score was the best thing about the prequels, at least consistently, and I say that as a major Carrie Fisher fan (I know, I know, she passed away suddenly, but like, they didn’t really do much with her in The Force Awakens, anyway). I can honestly say I

Ugh, the entire Go to Chin a Second Time … I get it. The entire Lao Ma saga was great, and everyone loved it, blah blah blah. But Pao Tzu was just so … meh. Also Lao Ma happened to have twin daughters, and neither Pao Tzu or her sister, K’ao Hsin, are mentioned beyond

Mass Effect has some of the most memorable NPCs in all of gaming throughout its run, from the rogue AI that wants to blow up the Citadel in the first game to Major Kirrahe to Conrad Verner. They’re all so vividly imagined, and even though it’s a little difficult to narrow it down to one,

This challenge is going to be video heavy because it’s just easier to show you why “The One with the Baby Shower” is my favorite Season Eight episode than it would be to write it out. While Rachel’s shower has its humorous moments, mainly stemming from Monica forgetting to invite Rachel’s mom (played by the

I understand that art is constantly evolving, and I can appreciate when an artist wants to part with their work to either try new things or simply take a break. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it. When I found out Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe were leaving Parks and Rec, I was

Like “The Body” from Season Five of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “Collaborators” is such a hard episode to watch. I can only torture myself with it once a year or so, and it’s probably the darkest the series every went. Basically, to recap, the Galactica rescues the humans stranded on New Caprica under Cylon occupation,

Okay, so, unlike yesterday’s challenge, this one actually is hard because Griffin did such a good job of creating characters that you fall in love with. Even characters you don’t really like have a lot of redeeming qualities and backstories that, while they don’t necessarily excuse their behavior, definitely explain where they are coming from.
