So I took a class on the Gothic tradition and for my final project and my honors contract, I wrote two articles. One of them was connecting the gothic to some of our favorite television serial killers. Here it is, reformatted for Nerdophiles. Death is a living-breathing beast. The Gothic […]
Defiance: Past is Prologue Recap
This week opens with Mayor Amanda giving a speech about all that ex-Mayor Nicky had done for her – bringing her up from a janitor to her assistant to the replacement mayor. Datak interrupts to bring politics into the wake, noting his stance to bring the Earth Republic to Defiance […]
True Blood: The Sun Recap
Seriously, how many emotions can True Blood make me have? It’s only episode 2, and I’m already having freakouts. With Worlow coming back, we ended the pilot with the potential that Jason had just been picked up by him. However, the episode quickly established the stranger as Jason’s grandfather, Niall […]
Under the Dome: Pilot Recap
CBS’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Under the Dome started on Monday and it was actually pretty damn good! If you’re not watching this series then you should be. It’s no Hannibal but it’s helping to heal the hole in my heart left by that season finale. Under the Dome has […]
How to Survive the Hannibal #HeAteUs
The Hannibal ‘he-ate-us’ is now underway. We have successfully made it through an entire week. I am so proud of all of you. But since it’s only been seven days I suspect that the full weight of what this hiatus means hasn’t quite sunken in for my fellow Fannibals. Considering […]
Defiance: The Bride Wore Black Recap
There’s wedding bells in the air on this week’s episode of Defiance. We’re given a look into how the Castithans throw a bachelor party and it is milder than I was expecting. They sword fight a little bit, there’s a stripper pretending to be Christie, they tell him to “pony-mount […]
My Cornballer Recipe
There are a million recipes out there for the Bluth family cornballers, but I’ve created one that is more corn patty and deliciousness and less burned hands and bad spanish dubs. I know the premiere for season 4 has been out for nearly a month, but there’s no reason you […]
Hannibal: Savoureux Recap [Season Finale]
All I have to say is that Bryan Fuller is goddamn lucky there is going to be a second season because if he had left things like that I would have found him, shanked him, and baked him into… I don’t know. Bread or something. Because that ending was extremely […]
NBC's Hannibal Has the Best Tumblr Manager Ever
This is, in many ways, an open letter of devotion to the NBC Hannibal Tumblr administrator. But in other respects, it’s a look into how television shows and networks are tapping into some of the gold mines of the internet that were rather undiscovered. If you haven’t been to the […]
Game of Thrones: Mhysa Recap [Season Finale]
So I’m about to hit you with a new style of recaps, also a very late recap. (Like 11 days late, I’m sorry). I must be the latest ever on this, but I just got back from vacation and been playing through Sleeping Dogs so I’ve neglected my duties. However, […]
