Love Survives… for a little while

I don’t know how I managed to miss such crucial information but somehow I didn’t know that my favourite early cancellation of the season was making a reappearance on TV this summer.   So imagine my surprise and delight to find that a new episode of Valentine had appeared on my PVR. Starting last night […]

 

After you’ve recovered from the incredibly sad (read: ridiculous, wrong and simply unfair) cancellation of Privileged, don’t despair that you may never see your favourite cast members again. It seems that the adorable Joanna Garcia (Privileged‘s leading lady) will be heading to the upper east side to romance one Mr. Nate Archibald. Her 4 episode […]

Some Happier News

I’m two episodes away from ending the season, and I’m really excited to see the finale. (Sylar’s episode ending “and nothing will ever be the same” gave […]

Girly Rant
 

This weekend I sat down to watch the (awesome) movie Star Trek for the third time (yes, yes, I’m a dork. Let’s move on). And, not for the first time, I marveled at the epic awesomeness that is JJ Abrams blockbuster success. A large portion of that success has to do with its two leads […]
