Okay, okay. I know everyone is all up in their feelings about our Game of Thrones watch ending. Although we can’t seem to agree on whether we love or hate Season 8, there is one thing I think we can agree on: Jon Snow is freaking Jaime Lannister.
Hear me out:
Leslie Knope is one of my favourite women on television, for some of the most obvious reasons. She is happy, energetic, fun, good-spirited, hard-working, loving, kind, and most importantly, she always goes for what she wants. As one of the many women on television that I love, I made it my mission to constantly use her as an inspiration for the kind of person I want to be. That doesn’t mean I need to be exactly like her, but she is someone I admire, and I wanted to share some of those with all of you!
Isabelle Lightwood, played by Emeraude Toubia, is one of my favourite female characters on television right now. Not only is she played so wonderfully by Emeraude, but she is a character that I think many women have been waiting for, for a very long time. She is a woman completely comfortable in her sexuality, and has no problem showing it off, while remaining not only a wonderful warrior, but one of the smartest women (if not, the smartest) in the Shadowhunting world. Her favorite past time? Uplifting other women.
The Good Place is an easy show to binge, with only 13 half-hour episodes each season. That being said this article CONTAINS SPOILERS, small ones in the first part and a big one later on. I will put another warning before it. Go watch Season One and come back when you’re done.
Fans have been waiting with bated breath for the return of the final episodes of Shadowhunters. Now that the team is back, they are ready to make their mark on television one last time. The episode started off with an amazing fight sequence. It was then filled with emotional tributes to Clary, love, and brotherhood, and ended with, of course, a cliffhanger.
Alright, alright, I know “best fandom ever” are fighting words. I myself am a dedicated member of more fandoms than I can count.
However, my sneaky use of a controversial title got you here, didn’t it?
Now, you are my captive audience to preach the theology of ponydom to, and hopefully I’ll convert you into this amazing fandom.
Surprise! There’s a whole new Black Mirror to ruin your sleep and make you question your entire existence. And this time, you steer.
If you have not experienced Bandersnatch, I suggest that you run back over to Netflix and do so. If you’ve not explored it to your satisfaction, I suggest you run and do so. But if you’re as done as you plan to be, read on. Because we’ve got a lot to cover today.
Bandersnatch is Black Mirror’s second stand-alone episode, the first being Jon Hamm starrer White Christmas. Granted, Black Mirror is an anthology series, so all episodes stand alone save for some world-building ties. But Bandersnatch is very much its own beast: more movie than episode, more game than movie.
It’s a Turkey Day miracle! Mystery Science Theater 3000 returned to Netflix this Thanksgiving with the six-episode series “The Gauntlet.” Challenged to a riffing marathon by the Mads at Moon 13, Jonah and the ‘bots take on six films. Mac & Me, Killer Fish, and more create the basis of a “binge made to be binge watched” spectacular.
As with last season, the tenants of the Satellite of Love mail it. Maybe it’s the firm, slightly silly hand of show creator Joel Hodgson. Maybe it’s the talented cast who themselves grew up on the unique series. But whatever the reason, MST3K retains a special honor: it is one of the few revivals to just plain get it right.
Most of the streaming networks have amazing programming; this is a fact that cannot be denied. From Stranger Things, The Crown, Mozart in the Jungle, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Harlots to so many more that should be named, but for time sake I will leave out, choices are almost unlimited. With more added almost every month, the flood can be daunting. I want to throw out a new one, one that has me looking forward to Wednesdays.
NOTE: This post has big, big spoilers for every episode of Steven Universe all the way up to the most recent episode, “Legs from Here to Homeworld.” If you haven’t caught up to your space rock soap opera, I highly encourage you to do so before proceeding with this post.
