Party of Five’s “Patch Job” does a great job of straddling the fence between the small concerns, like we talked about last week, and the bigger ones, the ones that change lives. They do that by focusing on the repercussions…
23 Times We Shipped Captain Swan
It’s been a while, but good ships never really disappear from the collective consciousness. And it’s February, the month of love, so we thought we’d go back and examine some of our favorite ships, and why we shipped them. Bring…
‘The Good Place’ Series Finale Review: The Time of Our Lives
It strikes me as both incredibly strange and unbelievably fulfilling that I find myself feeling this emotional after having watched The Good Place series finale, titled “Whenever You’re Ready.” Strange because I never really thought we’d get here, never wanted…
Goodbye, Arrow. Goodbye
Please don’t ever come back. Into my life, into the world, into existence. Please, let me forget I ever invested my life into something that was going to end up being so …unsatisfying. I hated Tony Stark’s death. It soured…
‘Party of Five’ 1×05 Review: Parenting
Party of Five’s “Rafa” goes micro while the rest of the show had been going macro, and it’s both incredibly appreciated, and absolutely necessary. Yes, the restaurant is a concern, and the big issues of what being latinx means in…
‘The Good Place’ 4×12 Review: What is The Good Place?
The Good Place has always been, well, the place for philosophical questions and good fun, at the same time. It’s ultimate episode, titled “Patty,” could not be the exception to the rule. In fact, it had to be, if anything,…
‘Party of Five’ 1×04 Review: Racists Be Racist
Though this show is all about five kids who find themselves in the difficult situation they are because of racist and unjust policies, this week’s episode of Party of Five, titled “Authentic Mexican” is the first time the show deals…
We Wanted a ‘The Hunger Games’ Prequel, But Not This One
We wanted a The Hunger Games prequel, we did. Suzanne Collins wasn’t wrong about that. When the book was first announced, I remember thinking: how cool, there’s so many characters I would like to know more about! Haymitch. Effie. Mags.…
‘Sex Education’ Season 2 Review: Growth Is The Name of The Game
Sex Education season 2 was, if possible, better than the first one. I’d already said this in my advance review, but I wanted to start off with this categorical statement, once again, because it’s entirely rare for a show of…
‘The Good Place’ 4×11 Review: “Mondays, Am I Right?”
This week’s episode of The Good Place, titled “Mondays, Am I Right?” feels a bit like all the messages this show has tried to send for four seasons are coming to a head, and it’s both amazing and incredibly sad…
‘Party of Five’ 1×03 Review: Living for the Moments
I remember feeling two distinct things when this reboot was announced: joy, because it felt like it was a story that needed to be told, and a great deal of apprehension. How do you put these kids in a situation…
The Best ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ Tweets
Look, Crisis on Infinite Earths was a bit of a shit-show, which again, we should have been coming. And we’ve gone in depth, spent more time than what’s probably sane, analyzing every second of what happened. But, in true Fangirlish…
‘Outlander’ Releases New Season 5 Trailer & Images
Season 5 of Outlander is a little over a month away, and that means more and more information is being released about what we can expect. And let me just tell you, I’m absolutely here for what I’m seeing. GIVE…
The Oscars Do it Again: The Nominations Are Out and We Hate Them
At this point, I’m not even surprised. Or disappointed, really. I’m not numb, or determined, I’m not inspired to do better, or any of those motivational things. I’m just hella angry. Because, really, what do we have to do? As…
‘Sex Education’ Advance Review: Even Better in Season 2
I know, big words. But I’m standing by them. Sex Education season 2 surpases not just expectations, but season 1 as well. When you have a show that carried a few big names but relatively low expectations to begin with,…
I Will Go Down With This Ship: Cheleanor Edition
Ships. In entertainment, and especially, in fandom, we live and die by them. Which is why every Friday, we’ll be focusing on a couple, analyzing why we ship them, and overall, just proclaiming our eternal love for those couples that…
‘The Good Place’ 4×10 Review: A Problem of Justice
Throughout the entirety of The Good Place, but particularly this season, with a new experiment, with the knowledge that the point system doesn’t work, we have been dealing with the same issue: humans evolve, they change, and they get better.…
‘Party of Five’ 1×01 & 1×02 Review: Show Them Who We Are
There’s a moment in the “Pilot” of the Party of Five reboot where, as her parents are being escorted away to the buses that will take them to Mexico, away from their kids for good, Lucia, the middle child of…
‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ 1×01 Review: The Music in You
There’s something about Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist I can’t quite explain. It’s not extraordinary, at least, not as much as it’s trying to be. It holds its cards a little too close to the vest at first, and there’s at least…
The CW Renews Basically Everything
Look, we weren’t expecting the CW to go ahead and, you know, cancel shows. It’s not like they ever do that. But it’s still somewhat of a shock to see them renew their entire lineup, especially as some of these…
‘Outlander’ Season 5 Trailer Asks Us To “Stand for All”
If the new Outlander teaser is to be believed, season 5 is going back to what we fell in love with: Jamie and Claire. Though, of course, their lives have changed. The world has changed. But hey, I, for one,…
