This year has been great for TV and Movies. As it was said at the Emmy’s earlier this year, “Television has never been bigger”- and to be honest, a lot of the scenes we want to watch over and over again, are…
7 Television Nerds We Adore
Calling all nerds and nerd lovers! You’ve come to the right place. This list isn’t for the best body, or the best smile, though it could be argued that our nerds could absolutely fit in those categories too. (Who said…
Fangirlish’s Rewatch Television Roundtable
The time is finally here: most Fall TV shows have now premiered. You might find yourself with a new series to watch, or you might have decided that none of the new series have spoken to you. If you fall…
‘Your Perfect Episode of TV’ Roundtable
The question has been going around for a while. What’s the perfect episode of TV, or at least, what’s your perfect episode? And – of course, it’s impossible to agree on such a thing. We haven’t all watched the same…
Everything We’re Looking Forward to at Comic Con 2019
Next week, the biggest pop culture convention on Earth touches down in San Diego. Fans across the world are looking forward to the plethora of TV and movie news that’s sure to drop there — us included! So while we…
Fangirlish Talks: Our Dream Emmy Nominations
Emmy Nominations are right around the corner, and every year, the collective internet goes into an uproar about who should have been nominated, and somehow got snubbed. And no, we’re not gonna get into how Emmy voters love some shows…
Ser Brienne of Tarth’s Page in the White Book
To say I am angry about the final role of my hero, Ser Brienne of Tarth, is an understatement. Perhaps even the understatement of the century. Now, before I begin my verbal evisceration of this real tragedy, I want to…
Is Love the Death of Duty? ‘Game of Thrones’ Says Yes
I had many issues with the Game of Thrones finale, as I established both in my review and in the roundtable, and there are probably still a few rants in my future about how badly this show bungled GRRM’s vision,…
Pop Culture Fans Take Over Orlando
The annual comic book convention, MegaCon, descended upon the nation’s tourist capital this month. True to it’s name, this event welcomes more than 100,000 fans every year. And this year’s convention featured appearances from some of the biggest names in…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×06 Roundtable: “The Iron Throne”
This is it. “The Iron Throne” is the end of an era, for better or worse. We’re done with the weekly Game of Thrones discussions, and these characters, what they are, and what they can be, are back in GRRM’s…
‘Stop and Fangirl’ Episode 83: Endings We Hate!
Here at Fangirlish we continue to support your right to fangirl over any fandom you desire – whether that is a book, a TV show, a movie, or even sports. That’s why we have Stop and Fangirl! So you can…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×06 Review: I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
Here we are, at the end, and I struggle to find words to describe what I just witnessed. Disappointing? Anticlimactic? Just plain nonsensical? Which all leads us to the question: Is this the most unsatisfying ending in the history of…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×05 Roundtable: “The Bells”
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’ 8×05 Review: The Path Of Least Resistance
Ironic that I keep thinking of this phrase, one that I heard often in my childhood. Ironic because “The Bells” aired on Mother’s Day, and this was my mom’s phrase anytime we took the easy way out, which I will admit,…
‘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…
Jaime Didn’t Leave to Save Cersei. He Left to Protect Brienne.
“The things we do for love.” Bran Stark echoed back a variation of Jaime Lannister’s own words to him in 8×02. Jaime’s arc in both Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire has always been about the…
‘Game of Thrones’: Strength Doesn’t Just Come from Suffering
Suffering does not equal strength. Period. There was a lot to hate in last week’s Game of Thrones, from the fact that they killed off the only WOC in the show, to the show-runners apparently committing to the least surprising…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×04 Review: We Played Ourselves
To be fair, we should have known. To be fair, we played ourselves. We always knew this story wasn’t likely to have a happy ending, and yet the first three episodes of season eight had lulled us into a false…
‘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…
The Women of Winterfell: How Female Protagonists Can Define a War
The night of April 28, 2019 was one that few will forget. It was one of death, of triumph, of loss and of courage, all packed in to a stressful and highly anticipated 88 minutes of must see television. With…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×03 Review: “The Battle of Winterfell”
ARYA FUCKING STARK. I almost feel like saying that’s it. That’s the review. What else can I say? What else needs to be said, really? Except, you know: Arya fucking Stark. We did it. And I say we because that…
