Mary is used to being thought of as The Chosen One....

“Downton Abbey” S1 recap: Episode 1

The cast of Downton Abbey. Credit: Downton Abbey’s official Facebook page. All right, so this is my first time recapping anything related to Downton Abbey. My first impressions when it comes to the show is that I understand why it’s such a highly-acclaimed show. The acting is fantastic, the subtleties are great, and the...

Sherlock: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 2–Changing times and social mores *or* What the heck is friendship!?

credit: BBC Friendship takes many forms, that is true. But it’s necessary to have a big understanding of types of friendships in the 1800s and our types of friendships today to really understand Sherlock Holmes. I was trying to get this point across in my first post about John and Sherlock’s friendship/more-than-friendship, but it...

Sherlock: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 1

credit: BBC Just a note–I feel that there will be more Sherlock posts in the near future–I am just that enamored with this show. First, let me start this post off with an apology. I’m adding my two cents to an already long–and sometimes exhausting and occasionally pointless–discussion, mostly because this argument has been...

Friday’s Archie: Jughead, the Lady Killer

Technically, this was published at 2:00 Saturday morning, but whatever. I get why Archie Comics went through a period of being obsessed with the idea of Jughead suddenly becoming a willing chick-magnet (I say “willing” because due to his stance against never dating, it comes off as being hard-to-get, and girls like challenges). This...

“The Dilemma”‘s dilemma

Earlier this week, Universal removed a controversial section from the trailer of the comedy The Dilemma, which played the word “gay” for laughs. In the beginning of the trailer, actor Vince Vaughn’s character is shown saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, electric cars are gay.” GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance against Defamation, spoke out, saying the...

Animated Gender: “Legion of Superheroes” maturely portrays a gay character

There are a lot of posts I’ve been mulling over for a few weeks, one of them being a list of homosexual characters portrayed in cartoons. Brainiac 5 from Legion of Superheroes would be one of those characters on the list. Like most comic-to-cartoon characters that keep their comic-book roots, Brainiac is portrayed as...

Finally, a review of “Veronica #202″

It seems like I’ve been talking about this forever! For months! What with the first introduction of Kevin, my analysis of sexuality and how it relates to Archie Comics, tackling how to write Jughead in this post-openly-gay Archie world, even a preview of my review! And now it’s finally here! What can I say...

“Veronica #202″: First reactions

As much as I’ve talked about Kevin Keller and Veronica #202, it would be remiss of me to wait a long time before I, at least, gave my first reactions to the issue. Firstly, let me state that I haven’t gotten a physical copy of the book yet; I’ve had to read most of...

Sites to check out: Polite Society (a.k.a. my online novel!)

Every once in a while, I’ll bring up this side project of mine (I’ve even got a page on it). But after going through some restructuring, my web novel, Polite Society, is back and better than ever. And I’d really like you check it out. It’s a story about a couple of young adults...
