Anne With and ‘E’ 1×02 Review: I Am No Bird, and No Net Ensnares Me

It took me a very, very long time to sort out my feelings about the second episode of Anne. To be honest, I’m glad I got to wait awhile before writing the review, because I needed to figure out how…

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 4×21 Review “The Return”

There is a lot of emotions that make us human. We spend lifetimes trying to figure them all out. In “The Return,” Aida (or as she now calls herself: Ophelia) goes through these emotions of being a newly formed human…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×19 Roundtable “The Black Fairy”

Rumple betrayed our heroes …again. And yet, that was about the only thing that stayed consistent in this episode. That, and Robert Carlyle delivering a masterful performance as, arguably, one of the most complicated characters on this show. Because backstory…

‘Once Upon A Time’ – The ABCs of Captain Swan

You don’t choose the ship, they say. The ship chooses you. Captain Swan choose us over five years ago, and through these five years we’ve been privy to the journey from kindred spirits to actual friends, and then …to a…

‘Once Upon A Time’ – In Defense of Emma Swan Roundtable

Emma Swan. Our heroine. The leading lady of Once Upon A Time. She gets a bad rep in some circles, our Emma. Some say that falling in love has changed her – that she’s less of a badass because she…

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’ 4×19 Review: “All The Madame’s Men”

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 has been wall to wall excitement for the majority of the season but tonight’s had a different feel to it. Have you ever heard the phrase “The Calm before the Storm”? Well ‘All the Madame’s…

Once Upon A Time 6×17 “Awake” Review: Love Is Sacrifice

Ironic that I title this review “Love is Sacrifice,” when, more often than not, if asked, I would say that love is more than sacrifice. Love is facing life’s troubles together – love is not giving up. Love is hard…

We Spoke With Author Jennifer Smith To Celebrate Windfall

  Authors are our rockstars. We geek out over them. We love them. And one that we love in particular is Jennifer Smith. If you haven’t read her books, you are missing out. It’s like being transported into a different…

Timeless Roundtable: Why NBC should #RenewTimeless

There were many great new shows in the past TV season, but if there’s one that stole the hearts of us here at Fangirlish – in a rather surprising way – it was Timeless, the time-travel extravaganza with common sense,…

‘Legends of Tomorrow’ 2×16 Review: “Doomworld”

In TV, shows in their second seasons are always worried about the “sophomore slump”. For those wondering, that is the phrase used when a show has a subpar second season compared to its really good first season. It makes me…

“Once Upon A Time” 6×13 Roundtable ‘Ill-Boding Patterns’

So …Captain Swan is engaged! And Hook didn’t get a chance to confess his secrets. What a bunch of …drama. Though, seeing it all develop, it was hard to blame him. It was hard to blame her. It’s still possible…

Legends of Tomorrow 2×15 Review : Fellowship of the Spear

For all the wonderfully strange and wild things that have happened over the two seasons of Legends of Tomorrow, it has also hit upon very simple basic things. Friendship, loyalty, a sense of belonging among other things. All of this comes to a…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×11 Roundtable: “Tougher Than The Rest”

Once Upon A Time is finally back! And, so are we – because, as usual, we have a lot of feels about what happened in this episode. Good feels, bad feels, uh feels. This show usually delivers in all respects!…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×11 Review: “Tougher Than The Rest”

When we last left Emma (and Regina), they were watching their one chance to go back to the world they belong in disappear, and they were confronted with ghosts of the past – in the form of Robin.  But, of…

‘Shadowhunters’ 2×02 Review: ‘A Door Into the Dark’

Is it too early to say I’m optimistic? It’s no secret that I was not a big fan of Shadowhunters season 1, aside from a select few storylines. And though the season two premiere showed a lot of promise, that…

‘Shadowhunters’ 2×01 Review: ‘This Guilty Blood’

I’m not sure what I expected from the Shadowhunters season two premiere. A small improvement over season one, I guess? I know what I was hoping for. I wanted good character scenes, better cinematography, more consistent world building and more…

The 15 Celebrities Of 2016 That Keep Us Talking

When you have to narrow down celebrities to a list for the year – you wonder – what are you narrowing them down for? The best? The worst? Well, whether it be good or bad – here’s 15 that kept…

27 Female TV Characters Who Were a Force of Nature in 2016

Being a woman is not easy. Not even in TV-Land. In fact, we could even say “especially” not in TV Land. Everything is, after all, magnified. The characters we see on the screen are us (with stylists and better outfits),…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×10 Review: “Wish You Were Here”

What ifs seem to be all the rage these days. Earlier this week Arrow took us to a dream world that was altogether too perfect. Today, Once Upon A Time attempted to do the same. Both shows sent a message,…

Legends of Tomorrow 2×05 Roundtable: 'Compromised'

A new season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow means a new season of roundtables where Fangirlish writers Alyssa, Lizzie, and Lyra discuss the hot topics from every Legends of Tomorrow episode. In Legends of Tomorrow‘s fifth episode of season 2,…
