The Parallel Lives of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Olivia Pope

Written By Shannon McKinley OK, grown-woman confession: I woke up one morning thinking about the wild similarities between Buffy Summers (yes, the Vampire Slayer) and Olivia Pope from Scandal. As someone who fangirled hard for Joss Whedon’s epic Chosen One and proudly lived through my full Scandal-holic era, I couldn’t help but notice the parallels between these two powerhouse characters. Sure,…

‘The 100’ 3x08 “Terms and Conditions”

‘The 100’ 3×08 “Terms and Conditions”

  I am not sure if what I’m doing with The 100 can be construed as hate watching. More like indifferent watching. I came to The 100 late in the game. After watching the pilot I decided it was just too CW for me, and after being spoiled on the murder of the show’s only black main character (who was a main and love interest in the series on which the show is “based”), my suspicions were confirmed.…

'Teen Wolf' 5x20 "Apotheosis"

‘Teen Wolf’ 5×20 “Apotheosis”

It’s the Season 5 finale of Teen Wolf, and it’s about to get super real in Beacon Hills. People tend to die at the end of a season – main characters, not just random bodies. We quickly find out that the pike used to kill the Beast was forged into a cane that Gerard has with him. Good! At least we know the pike is in good hands. Or is it? We know Gerard can’t really be trusted. But then we see…

'Fear the Walking Dead' Rerun-Recap 1x01 "Family Matters"

‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Rerun-Recap 1×01 “Family Matters”

  If you watch The Walking Dead and, stayed up waaay past your bedtime last Sunday night, you were in for a treat – a double dose of Dead. As part of a rather ingenious programming strategy, AMC will be drumming up exposure for the TWD companion series, Fear the Walking Dead, by repeating the first half of the season each week at 11p following Talking Dead. These encores will air up until the…

'The Originals' 3x15 "An Old Friend Calls"

‘The Originals’ 3×15 “An Old Friend Calls”

On this week’s The Originals, we’ve got a couple of “old friends” in the latest chapter of this vampire saga. And by friend, I mean someone that wants to kill the Originals—particularly Klaus. In the Beginning Now that the sire link has been undone, Klaus is embracing his Kylo Ren tendencies (I know I couldn’t have been the only one to see how alike these two are). Even though he’s still…

American Crime 2x09

American Crime 2×09

It is quite amazing the lengths that parents will go to in order to protect their children.  Is it human nature to act from emotion and avoid dealing with the consequences of these actions? American Crime showcases the fact that the more money a family has, the better that family is to break the rules — but in the 21st Century, social media and hacking social media is the great equalizer. The…

'Agent Carter' 2x10 “Hollywood Ending”

‘Agent Carter’ 2×10 “Hollywood Ending”

We made it, guys! Season 2 of Agent Carter got its ‘Hollywood Ending’ with its season finale last week, blowing our collective minds like a Zero Matter rift-closing explosion. As we sit not-so-patiently awaiting for news of the show’s renewal, let’s reflect on everything that went down last episode that definitely warrants a third season. Let’s get started. We pick up where we left off the week…

‘The 100’ 3x07 “Thirteen”

‘The 100’ 3×07 “Thirteen”

I’ve never been inclined to avoid spoilers so I didn’t avoid those for The 100’s most recent episode, “Thirteen.” This gave the internet plenty of time to spoil the episode for me, mainly its biggest plot point: Lexa’s death. While the internet explodes with shock, disappointment and anger, I feel…nothing. I don’t expect much from The 100 this season, and I hardly expect it to realize the gravity…
