Five by Friday: Top Five TV Pilots
Welcome to Five by Friday! It’s the beginning of fall, which can only mean one thing: NEW TELEVISION SHOWS. (Were you expecting us to say pumpkin spice everything? Candy corn? Trees losing their leaves? Boots and scarves? Too-early Christmas decorations? OKAY FINE, WE GUESS IT CAN MEAN SEVERAL THINGS.) In honor of all the new shows debuting this season […]
Five by Friday: Top Five Captains
Welcome to Five by Friday! Star Trek: Beyond hits theaters today, and since only 2/3 of us are Trekkies, we wanted to do something that paid tribute to the latest entry in the Trek canon while still allowing all three of us to participate.

We’re here for great friendships–good, solid, thought-out friendships, […]
Top Five Overdone Cosplays
Welcome to Five by Friday! This is our first installment of our weekly list-making endeavor. We here at Avenging Force are really fond of making lists, and we know we’re not the only ones–how else would sites like Buzzfeed and Thought Catalog even stay in business, if lists weren’t popular? Every week, we’ll provide a nerdy […]
