Avatar: The Last Airbender, in my opinion, is one of the greatest shows ever created. That being said, I don't like the series finale. Okay, let me clarify: I don't like the finale as much as I liked the rest of the show. Don't get me wrong, I loved the reconciliation between Iroh and Zuko, the… Continue reading Unpopular Opinion: The Avatar: The Last Airbender Series Finale
I could lie and say that I’ve given up on TV in favor of scholarly pursuit. Or that I’ve elected to use the egregious amount of time I would have spent vegetating on the couch to backpack through Europe to Eat, Pray, Love my way into a better understanding of myself. The truth, unfortunately, is… Continue reading I Don’t Watch TV Anymore
I would be lying if I said I didn't see some logic behind pushing these two characters together. From my own experience, people have the proclivity to seek out romantic partners who make up for what they lack either intentionally or otherwise.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for season 2 of You. If you have not seen this season but would like to, reader discretion is advised. I confess over the years I've become jaded towards thrillers. True-crime podcasts left me feeling cold. Shows like Law and Order and CSI were all cookie-cutter snore-fests that made me question… Continue reading Thoughts on “You” Season 2 Netflix Series
I would be lying if I said I had high hopes for Batwoman, but if this trailer is any indication as to what we should expect from this show...wow. Wow. Not only did it lower my expectations, but it buried them in the Earth's crust. To start, I have no problem with the main character… Continue reading The “Batwoman” Trailer is Kind of Awful
I doubt many people my age will know who Adam West is, but he is possibly the best Batman that has ever lived. Adam West was the Batman for the hammy but earnest live-action Batman TV show from the 60s. Each episode was primed with colorful and strange characters, adrenaline-charged fight scenes, and impossibly creative… Continue reading A Tribute to Adam West, My First Batman
