‘The X-Files’ Teases Scully’s Alien DNA

‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ 1×03 Review: Blood Ties
Building a show out of characters we’re familiar with is both a very good bet and a dangerous way to live. A good bet because, let’s face it, the getting people to care is the biggest hurdle any new show…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Hook
A few months ago I started this series with Emma, and it feels somewhat fitting that I’m ending it today, with Captain Hook. I like, or at least appreciate things, about most of the characters in this show, but my…
See the New ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ Highlight Reel
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them is coming. We just wish it was coming a little bit sooner. Like, tomorrow. Or, in a week. A month, tops. Not ten months! Especially when we keep getting these tantalizing glimpses. It’s torture. It’s…
‘The X-Files’ Review: “Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster”

‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Henry

The X-Files “Founder’s Mutation” Review
Welcome back, The X-Files. Welcome back unexplained phenomena, welcome back Skinner with his awful poker face, welcome back Mulder jumping to conclusions. Welcome back, The X-Files. We’d really, really missed you. Episode Two couldn’t have been more different from the…
‘The X-Files’ 10×01 Review “My Struggle”
It’s been a while. In fact, it’s been too long. Twenty three years ago, I saw the second episode of the X-Files, “Deep Throat,” the day after it aired. I’ve been a fan ever since. As such, it’s hard to…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Robin Hood
More than a Disney kid, I was a books kid. Sure, I watched the pre-requisite Disney movies, but even when I was very, very young, I didn’t need visuals to fall in love with a character. Words worked just fine…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Belle

‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m thankful for Rumplestiltskin
Strangely enough, it’s easier for me to write this post about Rumple today than it would have been a month ago. For years I’ve been asking Once Upon A Time to do exactly what they did in the midseason finale…
