Ten minutes into World War Z, when the explosions start, my mom leaned over and asked me, “Who are the bad guys in this movie?” She, obviously, has not read World War Z. I’m not even sure she saw previews for it, but three or four times throughout the movie, […]
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 […]
True Blood: Who are You, Really? Recap
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INJC8eHNNHM] The True Blood season six premiere did not disappoint! It was everything I have come to love about the series and more. After filling the Skarsgard void with Bill and Gustaf in the off-season, it was nice to come back to my first love, Alexander. The episode picked up right where […]
Defiance: If I Ever Leave This World Alive Recap
This week Defiance is dealing with a plague, technically known as a viral hemorrhagic fever, but more commonly known as something the I-raths, or Irathients, spread. Alak is up in the arch broadcasting information about the contagion – it spreads through skin to skin contact, but people are still buying […]
Defiance: I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times Recap
I like to go into shows with as little knowledge as possible. I avoid previews for next week, recaps of previous weeks, and as many commercials as possible for shows that I like because it’s all too easy to spoil the fun these days. I caught the recap of previous […]

Even if you can’t make it out to San Diego Comic Con this year, send a little piece of yourself by contributing to “Rubiks Cube Park,” put on by Crotchet Grenade. Marcy Kraft, the 25 year old fiber artist organizing this event, agreed to give me a little bit of […]
Defiance: Good Bye Blue Sky Recap
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w2c8y6B6qyg] In case you’ve forgotten, last week’s episode ended with the song, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” and I’m giving the writers credit for that one – what a clever hint for this week. This episode opened with metal debris from old spaceships falling from the sky onto the […]
Netflix Free Trial: Day 1
The short story here is that I’m going to test-run this free trial of Netflix, so you don’t have to! The long story here is that I’ve got a full time job, a mild social life and access to other, free-er streaming services, so I’m going to let you know […]
Zombies, Run! / Zombies, Run! 5k App Review
There’s about eight (!!!) weeks left until San Diego Comic Con 2013 and, being the neurotic ultimate planner that I am, let me share with you one of my many fears as a newbie to the con circuit: endurance. I’m jumping into the world of conventions head first at the […]
Defiance: Brothers in Arms Recap
“Brothers in Arms” opens on the busy Defiance marketplace, focusing on a Castithan man who is looking at the wares. My closed caption actually said [INTENSE MUSIC] when a human man spots the Castithan and gives chase. When he is cornered, the Castithan pulls his necklace off and throws it […]
