Wondercon 2018: Shawn Ryan Talks the Lyatt Journey and Where ‘Timeless’ is Going

For Shawn Ryan, co-showrunner and EP of Timeless, aka the show that has absolutely all of us waiting for Sunday nights, making this show is clearly both a labor of love and well…a lot of work. That’s on par for the…

‘Timeless’ 2×03 Review: You Saved My Life

Before we get into this glorious episode that’s almost fanfic come to life, I want to start by making a list of things I really, really didn’t need to see in this episode, or any episode, really. It’s a short…

‘Timeless’ 2×02 Roundtable: “The Darlington 500”

Oh, yes, we’re back! Timeless is that show, the one that gives us so many feels each week, that we just have to get them out in round-table form. So buckle up, because, once again, we have a lot of…

Madison Wolfe Talks Conquering Your Personal Giants and the Movie ‘I Kill Giants’

I Kill Giants is not the type of movie you expect it to be. At first glance, it’s a fantasy adventure, featuring a girl ready to be a warrior, but when you look closer it’s actually a heartwarming and inspirational…

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×14 Review: If You Don’t Care, Then I Don’t Care

I have to write this review, and I really don’t know what to say about what happened. Because, what happened? I mean – things, happened, obviously, but nothing actually happened. Nothing ever happens in this show anymore. Nothing at all.…

‘The X-Files’ 11×10 Review: So Long, and Thanks for All the Pain?

I wondered, for a long time, how this day would feel. The X-Files has meant so much to me for so long that I always figured the closing of this chapter in my life, the absolute certainty that this is…

‘Krypton’ 1×01 Review: Shakespearean Drama in Space

At times, while watching the Pilot of Krypton, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a DC property, or if this was really and truly set on another – more advanced – planet than the one we live in. At…

Chrissie Fit talks Representation, the Wave of Change and ‘Pitch Perfect 3’

Let me just start by saying this: Crissie Fit blew me away. Interviews are generally interesting experiences, filled with tidbits you didn’t know and, usually, though not always, a very sincere and kind person in front of you or at…

‘Timeless’ 2×02 Review: Nothing Ahead But The Open Road

Timeless can be many things: incredibly emotional, amazingly educational, a feminist tour de force, a strong voice in the fight against sexism and racism. It can do all of those things and many more at once, and sometimes, as we…

‘Timeless’ 2×01 Roundtable: “The War to End All Wars”

At this point, you’re probably wondering, is there anything else to discuss about Timeless episode 2×01 that we haven’t discussed yet? The answer is, of course, that when you love a show as much as we love this one, there…

BBC America’s Killing Eve To Premiere April 8

We love Sandra Oh. We’ve missed having Sandra Oh in our TV screens. And now, Sandra Oh is coming back to BBC America, with Killing Eve, which is set to premiere April 8th at 8/7c. The show, which seems to…

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×13 Review: Anger, At Last

Would you look at that, Tom Kirkman is actually human. At times I have loved this show, at times I have been so bored by it that the idea of even watching one more episode left me wanting to bang…

‘The X-Files’ 11×09 Review: This Shit Is Almost Over

Chris Carter, or maybe The X-Files in general, are like that one night stand you really, really enjoyed while it was happening, but have regretted every second since. This is a terrible comparison to make for me, especially, because I…

‘Timeless’ 2×02 Advance Review: “The Darlington 500”

Here we are, clockblockers, ready to preview another episode of Timeless, and isn’t it just a joy to be able to gush about this show, to replay some scenes (or one scene) twenty, thirty, forty times, to be able to…

‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwad’ First Full Trailer Released

A part of us (a big part, really) doesn’t want to be excited about Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. And yet, there’s another part, a smaller one, but hard to silence, that grew up on the Harry Potter world,…

‘Timeless’ 2×01 Review: You Haven’t Lost Me

It’s hard to explain the joy I feel at being able to write the title for this review, not just because I let out a pterodactyl-like screech the first time I heard him say it (What? No one judge me…

Our ‘Timeless’ 2×01 Soundtrack: “The War To End All Wars”

Sometimes there are shows that bring people together. Right now, for the Fangirlish staff, Timeless is that show.  Years ago, some of us came together through Arrow, and stayed together because the bonds of friendship had already been established, but…

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×12 Review: The Final Frontier

I’ll be the first to say I love Tom Kirkman. And that’s true, I love Tom Kirkman. He’s a kind, decent man who I think everyone who’s ever watched an episode of Designated Survivor would rather have in the White…

International Women’s Day: Celebrating Our Favorite Fictional Women

It’s International Women’s Day, and we’re in the mood to celebrate. To celebrate you, our wonderful, smart, talented, beautiful readers, and to celebrate the fictional women that inspire us, the ones that have us turning on the TV every night.…

‘The X-Files’ 11×08 Review: (Un) Familiar Snoozefest

So often it feels like there are only two kinds of episodes of TV: the really, really good ones, or the terrible ones. Sadly, that is not the case, because both those options make for easier reviews than the one…

Why Netflix Needs to Bring Back ‘One Day At A Time’

I’m going to start this One Day At A Time piece with a reference to another show, because I apparently watch too much TV. Bear with me. When I sat down to write about this I tried to come up…
