Wonder Woman, The Baby-Sitters Club, and the Idea of “Enough”

June 14, 2017June 14, 2017 Lauren 1 Comment Books, Movies

The first time I saw myself in fiction, the character didn’t actually resemble me much at all. I was in elementary school, reading Ann M. Martin’s The Baby-Sitters Club series for the first time, and immediately fell in love with the character of Claudia Kishi (who I still maintain is hands-down the best BSC member, […]

The 10 Most Fantastic Companion Beasts (and Where I Found Them)

July 13, 2016July 12, 2016 Teija Leave a comment Books, Movies

There’s something about mythical beasts that has always been a draw for me. Fantasy has long been my wheelhouse, and from the moment I met the Unicorn and her nemesis, the Red Bull, in Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn, I was lost for good. Mythical creatures were an immediate favorite, and they have stayed there ever since. But […]

Today marks the first official day of summer, (though if you live anywhere like us you’ve already been experiencing summer levels of heat for a few weeks now) and thoughts start to turn to vacations and relaxing instead of work or school.

Whose life debt is it anyway?

April 13, 2016April 13, 2016 Sarah 1 Comment Books, Movies

I’ve long since come to terms with the fact that the star Wars EU I grew up with has been regulated to Legends status (we even did an entire eu-logy for it on the Boldly Going Somewhere podcast). And I even started to get excited that the arrival of The Force Awakens was ushering in […]

Sarah’s Top Ten Favorite Vampires

October 8, 2015 Sarah Leave a comment Books, Comics, Movies, Television

As I mentioned in last week’s post, it’s October and for me that means it’s time to do all of the Halloween things! And what says Halloween more than a soulless, bloodthirsty monster that only comes out to play at night? I developed my love of vampires early, due to a steady diet of Buffy the Vampire […]

July 29, 2015July 29, 2015 Teija Leave a comment Books, Movies, Television

Over the years there have been quite a few movies and tv shows that feature women kicking ass in different ways. Some of them use their fists, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Sydney Bristow; others use bows and arrows, like Susan Pevensie and Merida. I have a soft spot for the ones who carry […]
