So much has gone on in the last few episodes that I haven’t had the chance to review, but this episode topped them all.

We stand before the journey that leads us all...TO OREGON!!


The Oregon Trail. I remember sitting in school learning about the pioneers heading west and the many challenges they faced. I have seen numerous documentaries and movies about the pioneers and The Old West - full of cowboys and Indians; bandits and buffalos. However, the one thing I think of almost immediately when hearing “The Oregon Tr...

Last night was the mid-season episode of Game of Thrones. Yes, season five is halfway over. "Kill the Boy" was a very intense episode with tensions even higher than before and a death to start the episode off.

It’s not even officially summer yet, and Age of Ultron is already the hit movie of the season. The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the 2012 hit film, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and the Hulk take on a different kind of threat in the form of the evil artificial intelligence of Ultron.

An Orphan Black Two-for-One: The Weight of This Combination and Transitory Sacrifices of Crisis

Posted on April 27, 2015 at 10:05 PM Comments comments (0)



I was elated to see Orphan Black return to my television last weekend. It’s definitely one of the most unique shows on television. Last season, Sarah Manning and her fellow clones (all played by the incredible Tatiana Maslany) found out that they are not the only set of clones out there. The season ended with the revelation of Project Castor, a set of male clones developed by the Armed Forces.
