ARROW Season 3×04, “The Magician” recap

Welcome back, Arrowheads! Last time we left everyone, Ollie took a trip out of town to bring Thea back home, who was unknown to Ollie, being trained by noted psychopath Malcolm Merlyn. Malcolm let her go, but who knows what that means. Seriously, he’s crazy. This was a brief break from the ongoing mystery of Sara’s murder, which was still having ripples through everyone. Felicity had taken Ray Palmer’s job at Queen Consolidated, and Laurel attempted her own vigilante thing and asking for help in training, which got a major “NO” from Ollie and a “sure” from boxer Ted Grant. And just when Ollie was getting over the jet lag, Nyssa shows up wondering what happened to Sara. Oooooh, this is going to an uncomfortable talk…

Smallville Minicaps / Season 10, Eps. 13-16

28 Oct

The Smallville season 10 minicaps wants to remind you to vote to repeal the VRA.

Stewart here…

Great news, everyone! Clark and Lois are engaged! And Chloe’s back! This was pretty much the only good news from the last time we left our gang. The VRA cracked down on heroes, the heroes went into hiding, Hawkman was killed, clone Lex escaped, and now a Lionel Luthor from a mirror universe has arrived. And oh yeah, a great darkness is coming, people have Omega symbols on their skull, yadda yadda yadda. So, let’s get back to it… Continue reading →

ZappCon, Year One

26 Oct

After spending the better part of a decade in major cities, and adventuring off to parts unknown (alright, just other parts of the U.S.), it’s tough to attend a small convention and come out happy. However, after relocating back to California’s Central Valley, NerdLush has attempted to get back into the community in the area. Which means attending the inaugural year for ZappCon.

Smallville Minicaps / Season 10, Eps. 9-12

24 Oct

The Smallville season 10 minicaps is not a sponsor of the VRA…and proud of it!

Stewart here…

Clark Kent is a busy man these days, and that’s before he reveals to Lois his secret and discovering she already knew! There’s that great evil coming, an anti-vigilante bill, dealing with the in-laws, and maybe, just maybe, a marriage proposal? And don’t forget the in hiding Chloe, Tess hiding a going crazy Lex clone, and Tess discovering she’s Lionel’s orphaned daughter! Whew. Lot of stuff for Clark to do in this round of minicaps… Continue reading →

ARROW Season 3×03, “Corto Maltese” recap

22 Oct

Welcome back, Arrowheads! Last time we were here, Team Arrow was searching for Sara’s killer, and despite stopping a deadly archer assassin, got no joy and not Sara’s killer. I suppose we’ll get to that eventually, but there’s other things to mention before we get to this episode. For instance, Laurel keeping Sara’s death a secret from dad (he has a heart condition!), Felicity taking Ray Palmer’s new high paying job, and Ollie finding out Thea’s not so much “on extended vacation”, but “just getting away from everyone”, and deciding to bring her home. I’m sure finding out about Thea will be nothing in comparison to when he finds out his baby sister is being taught to fight by Malcolm Merlyn! Yeah, the mass murderer and not dead Malcolm Merlyn! I smell an awkward reunion on the horizon… Continue reading →

Hey, sister- can you spare a dime? Let’s help make an album!

20 Oct

Not too long ago I fell in love with the UK version of Primeval which led to checking out the Syfy channel version Primeval: New World. I loved it. And bonus fun, there was a hauntingly beautiful song at the end of one episode that I had to have. Continue reading →

Guest Post!!~ The Twin Peaks Revival is a Damn Fine Idea

18 Oct

Mary Czerwinski is the co-host and producer of “DVD Geeks,” a DVD and blu-ray review podcast. She is also the host of “Glue Guns and Phasers,” a Star Trek crafting series and is an actor and producer of the horror short “Pray With Us.” She has written for TrekMovie.com, Libido Magazine, Pet Age, Pet Services Journal and Chicagoland Tails to name a few. She refers to herself as “The Girl With The Twin Peaks Tattoo” and has been a fan of the series since she was 9 years old.

**********************************************************************

“Damn fine cup of coffee!” “Let’s rock.” “That gum you like is going to come back in style…”

By now, you have heard every clichéd Twin Peaks quote under the sun since last week’s announcement that the show will return to TV in 2016 with the original creators, Mark Frost and David Lynch, at the helm. The news sent the internet into a cherry pie-induced sugar high and the world was partying like it was 1991.

ARROW Season 3×02, “Sara” recap

16 Oct

Welcome back, Arrowheads! Are you finished scooping your jaw off the floor after last week’s shocker ending? Which one do I mean, you ask? No, not the one where it seems Ollie won’t be getting a second date with Felicity. I mean the one where Sara gets three arrows to the chest and is dead…again!

Smallville Minicaps / Season 10, Eps. 5-8

14 Oct

The Smallville season 10 minicaps has someone new running Watchtower, so we apologize for any late replies to your comments.

Stewart here…

Clark managed to avoid getting beamed up to wherever with Zod and the Kandorians, but still has a lot more problems to deal with on Earth. There’s the warnings of a great evil coming, and Jor-El feels Clark isn’t ready to fight it. Then there’s a shady government guy who’s tagging and monitoring superheroes. Then there’s Chloe faking her death and going into hiding. Then there’s Oliver revealing he’s Green Arrow to the public. Then there’s Lois knowing Clark’s secret unbeknownst to him. Then there’s the anti-vigilante push starting to simmer. And even then, there’s the Lex clone that Tess is secretly raising. Man, here’s hoping this round of minicaps gets him a break.

Can I bend your ear for a tick? I have something to say about “communication”

12 Oct

It might just be me- perhaps the recipients really enjoy these comments- but when I go to like or comment on an Instagram pic or facebook post for a celebrity I follow and see comments like below it really disturbs me. Almost scares me.
