"The Meaning Behind the First Evil"
May. 30th, 2016 09:34 pm
Season Seven of "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER" has been a favorite of mine for years. But it has been rather unpopular with many fans of the series and television critics. And I suspect that this unpopularity may have centered around the character and main villain of Season Seven – the First Evil: ( Read more... )

"TRAPPED BY A TITLE"
I feel sorry for Emma Swan. I may not like her very much at the moment. But I do feel sorry for her. More importantly, she has become, since Season Two, one of the most frustrating characters on "ONCE UPON A TIME". Which is probably why I have just written my third or fourth article about her.

The Meaning of Colors

THE MEANING OF COLORS
Several years ago, I came across an old website about Wiccan practices and meanings. I was surprised to discover that even before the advent of Wicca in the early 20th century, Pagan worshipers associated colors with certain meanings. And those meanings turned out to be quite different than many people would today assume. ( Read more... )
CHARLES GUNN AND HIS ROLE IN ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS
There is something about one of the episodes of "ANGEL" that has always bothered me. My unease centered around an incident between two of the series’ major characters that occurred in the early Season 3 episode, (3.03) "That Old Gang of Mine". But to understand the nature of my unease, one has to return to two episodes from Season 2 - (2.10) "Reunion" and (2.12) "Blood Money". ( Read more... )
Below is a look into (1.08) "I Will Remember You", a Season One episode from "ANGEL" (1999-2004): ( Read more... )
"AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D." SEASON TWO - AT MID-POINT
Ever since the second season of Marvel's "AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.", many television viewers and critics have waxed lyrical over their belief over the series' improvement from Season One. And yet . . . the ratings for the show seemed to reflect differently from this view. Regardless of the opinions of others or the ratings, I have my own views about the show's Season Two.

"Power, Duty and Choice"
Jul. 22nd, 2014 09:50 am
“POWER, DUTY AND CHOICE”
“With great power comes great responsibility.” – Ben Parker (“SPIDER-MAN”)
“You should know that I personally consider any form of military conscription to be a violation of basic human rights, no matter whether the cause is a “righteous” one or not – it’s still coercion. The intended cannot freely choose to serve. Buffy has already been drafted against her will, when she was “called”. – “BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER” Fan (All Things Philosophical About ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Site)

"DIVERGENT" (2014) Review
Ever since the success of the "HARRY POTTER" movie franchise, movies based upon teen fantasy and science-fiction novels have been hitting the movie theaters in the past decade or so. The latest teen Fantasy/Sci-Fi to be released is a dystopian post-apocalyptic tale set in futuristic Chicago. ( Read more... )
"AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.": THE LAST STAND AGAINST MEDIOCRITY
The age of serial drama or adventure is over. It is over. I came to this conclusion after learning the dismal ratings for the last episode of ABC's "AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D." called (1.10) "The Bridge". And ironically, my statement is not a criticism directed at the series or its latest episode. ( Read more... )

Over two weeks have passed since the Thanksgiving holiday. And another seventeen or eighteen more days will pass until Christmas arrives. I had intended to watch the Season Four episode from "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER" called (4.08) "Pangs". But family matters intervened and I did not get that chance until recently. ( Read more... )
