Oh, Game of Thrones. How I wish you were anything but what you are. Or, at least, how I wish you’d chosen another path instead of this one. Let’s call this the roundtable of disappointment. Last week we were angry,…

‘Game of Thrones’ 8×04 Roundtable: “The Last of the Starks”
We’re just two episodes away from the end of Game of Thrones, and after what had been a superb season 8 so far, “The Last of the Starks” was just a disappointing episode all around, one that seems to be…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×03 Roundtable: “The Long Night”
Well, THAT happened. And by that, we mean, of course, the thing with Arya stabbing the Night King and ending the Long Night, but also absolutely every other second of this episode. Because love it or hate it, I think…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×01 Roundtable: “Winterfell”
Winter is here at last. At least, the metaphorical winter, aka the last season of Game of Thrones, and, of course, with it being the final season, we couldn’t stop at a weekly review, because there’s just so much to…
‘Supergirl’ 4×16 Review: ‘The House of L’
Whatever has happened with Supergirl over these past two weeks has been truly a godsend and has found a way to spark a fire underneath this show. Obviously that spark has been the addition of Lex Luthor, who has showed…
‘Roswell, New Mexico’ 1×08 Review: “Barely Breathing”
Roswell, New Mexico‘s “Barely Breathing” saw the rise of the MVP known as Michael Guerin, Alex standing up to the dumpster fire that is his father, and a race against time to save Isobel from a body that has turned…
The Ship Debate: Buffy: The Vampire Slayer Edition
To ship or not to ship. That’s a debate we’ve had for many years, about many shows, many couples. And even though we here at Fangirlish agree on many things, we don’t agree on everything, and one of the things…
‘Timeless’ 2×11/2×12 Review: Saving History
Writing these words is a little bittersweet for me; I’m not going to lie. But then again, it was always going to be. I don’t want this to end, after all. I never have. And yet, isn’t this the perfect…
‘Legacies’ 1×03 Review: Run, Wolf, or Die
I know we’ve only seen three episode of the series so far, but “We’re Being Punked, Pedro” is my new favorite episode. It has all of my favorite things: a star-crossed love story, Ric in a sweater, downtown Mystic Falls,…
‘Arrow’ 7×04 Review: ‘Level Two’
Is the Arrowverse better for its vigilantes? That’s a question that Arrow seems to be exploring this season as we continue to explore this debate between the need for vigilantes and how vigilantes are hurting the system. Vigilantes are vigilantes…
‘Charmed’ 1×04 Review: Dios, Sálvame!
Okay, cat out of the bag first. If you know me, or follow me on Twitter, you know that I am a latinx woman, and I’m also pretty darn white. It’s a thing I’ve had to explain more times than…
‘Charmed’ 1×02 Review: The Power of Three
Charmed ditches the setup, tones down the messaging and gets into the reality of the situation these three women now find themselves facing in “Let This Mother Out,” and episode that’s infinitely superior to the Pilot, and that does a…
'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' Interview: Director Susan Johnson Discusses Bringing Jenny Han's World to Life
When it comes to book-to-movie adaptations, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is near the top of my list. For when you talk about a movie being faithful to the source material, you’re talking about the film having the same beating…
'Arrow' 6×21 Review: The Judgement of Oliver Queen
What defines a hero? Are they defined by the mistakes they’ve made or the good they’re able to accomplish? This should be a rhetorical question because the answer is obviously the latter. Heroes are heroes because they do the things…
‘Timeless’ 2×05 Roundtable “The Kennedy Curse” Part 1
Do you have feels? We have feels! About Jessica, about young JFK, about Lyatt, about Riya and yes, about Agent Christopher. But this is what roundtables are for. To let out all the feels. To help us process before the…
‘The Flash’ 4×18 Review: Lose Yourself
Some things were lost in The Flash this week, and some things were…well, no. Things were mostly just lost. Frankly, it’s a good reminder that not all losses are bad. In this case, it got things moving again as we…
Fandom Entitlement: Who Owns the Story?
I wrote before about how fandom can become a negative place when fans confuse the fictional story with behind-the-scenes reality. This week, I want to write about another dark side of fandom: fan entitlement. This tends to rear its ugly…
‘Shadowhunters’ 3×05 Review: ‘Stronger Than Heaven’
I did not expect to like this episode as much as I did. After the disappointing filler episode that was 3×04, I wasn’t expecting much from this one. Surprisingly, it ended up being one of my favourite episodes this season.…
