Double Take: In which CourtneyK and Amrie disagree about the ONCE UPON A TIME S1 Finale

Amrie and I had an exchange via text message this morning about their completely different reactions to the ONCE UPON A TIME S1 Finale, which prompted this from me: “Shall we do a face off?”  Check out our reactions and tell us where you fall! CourtneyK – OK I’M TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES! Seriously, apparently I’m a full on fan now. I love everything about this show, even the sappy parts! With Henry taking that fateful bite of

Book Review: Sex, Drugs & Superheroes – a love letter to Comic Con from David Reddish

“Normals” see a Comic Con as weird. FanBoys/FanGirls/Geeks/Nerds see it as The Ultimate Show. The creative types whose love of fantasy, fiction, action, gaming, movies, books and art have a deep appreciation for San Diego Comic Con especially. Putting a Comic Con experience into words is near impossible. David Reddish has managed to incorporate the realistic and the unattainable interactions in one fail swoop! The phrase that comes to my mind when referring to Comic Con is always “Chaotic Zoo

FRINGE is coming back!

After much speculation, I am happy to report (from Amrie) that FOX has decided to keep FRINGE alive for at least one more season! HOORAY!! I’d held off writing about my amazing opportunity during WonderCon 2012 to sit at the round tables with cast members Blair Brown (Nina Sharp), Seth Gabel (Lincoln Lee), John Noble (Dr. Walter Bishop, oh how I adore him!), Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop) and Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. Frankly, because I didn’t want

Dear SUPERNATURAL: Stop breaking my heart!

Seriously. I can’t even begin to describe the emotional wreckage this show has done to me. Every time, and I mean every time I start to write about SUPERNATURAL I get mad. And sad. To quote Gilmore Girls, “I’m SMAD!” Yes, there is still speculation about a Season 8. But c’mon there’s been season after season of terrific and painful storylines, granted these pains were smattered between hilarity. Which made the show’s gross out factor manageable and having two of

ONCE UPON A TIME: An Appraisal

“What’s a story? Story books are based on what? Imagination. Where does that come from? It has to come from somewhere” – such powerful words from Jefferson/The Mad Hatter desperately trying to use logic to convince Emma of what we, the viewers, know: she’s got to start believing or all is lost. ONCE UPON A TIME has really hooked me. The complex stories the writers have created based upon well loved childhood tales are nothing short of splendid. Just like

Quick Take: Courtney K likes APARTMENT 23 and thinks you will, too!

Roommate horror stories. If you don’t have one, you’re in the minority. Most of them consist of missing food, bounced rent/bill checks, dirty dish and trash standoffs, filthy living conditions; but the Bitch in Apartment 23 takes the cake. Well not so much “takes the cake,” but more like “screws her new roommates fiancé on it.” Meet Chloe (Krysten Ritter), the Bitch in question. She cons prospective tenants into handing over security, and first/last month’s rent then tortures them until

SCANDAL Double Take: Courtney K and Amrie kind-of, sort-of, agree

Courtney K’s Take: “I’m not a baby lawyer. I’m a Gladiator in a suit.” And with that, my eyebrow is raised. That’s a terrific line. Set in the D.C. area, SCANDAL involves a team of those “Gladiators in suits” who deal in backroom negotiations specifically to “solve problems”. Those problems involve everything from kidnapping, murder, sex scandals; you name it. All the unsavory antics of the movers and shakers in the political scene. The members of Olivia Pope & Associates

WonderCon 2012: Save ALCATRAZ: What do we send…rocks?

One of the new shows this season that is currently in re-up suspense is the FOX fantasy-sci-fi-crime show, ALCATRAZ.  Now I really like it, I’m invested. The characters haven’t been fully developed yet and I want to see more. It would be a crying shame if they don’t get sentenced to a second season. (See what I did there? Yeah? *crickets*) Moving on! I was fortunate enough to be able to sit down with the show creators, executive producers and

Quick Take: GCB has little substance but it’s guilty pleasure worthy!

What happens if the head mean girl in high school grows up and matures but her frenemies don’t? GCB stands for Good Christian….Belles. Yes, Belles as in Southern Belles; Texas Beauties from high society Dallas. If you loved the back-biting-two-faced-smile-in-your-face-while-they-stab-you-in-the-back storylines from Desperate Housewives, you’re primed and ready to be hooked by the ladies on GCB. Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb) returns to her hometown of Dallas, publically humiliated after a national scandal involving a ponzi scheme, her husband and his

THE RIVER: Did you see that?

What’s wrong with THE RIVER? Nothing. Nothing at all. Then why aren’t the ratings skyrocketing?? (though according to tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com, last week they saw their viewership grow the best since their premiere night numbers) Why aren’t there more covers of weekly mags featuring the Cole family and their jungley adventures?? Are viewers gun-shy? Is the studio backing it at all? What’s going on over there??? Let’s examine the show, shall we? Amrie’s talked about it before; we know the premise, family
