“I came from a real tough neighborhood. Once a guy pulled a knife on me. I knew he wasn’t a professional, the knife had butter on it.”

We’ve been watching WandaVision with the same rabid attention as many other Young Avengers fans on the internet. From the second there was a hint of the twins, we were plugged in. Ready for it.
We’ve been talking about making a comic playing with the idea of the show pretty much from episode one.
At the same time, just like many others, we’ve carried the disappointment at the whitewashing of Wanda’s character from her intro in the MCU. Wanda is Jewish. She is Romani. That’s something we want to honour in our comics as much as we can.
Drop whatever you’re doing and make plans to rewatch the series for the #BrBa10 yr anniversary! Starts today on AMC.
Mother lion knows to protect her cubs. See how the story pans out on the #BrBa10 marathon on AMC.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Before The Avengers, Joss Whedon brought to life one of the strongest female characters in tv history. Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) lives in Sunnydale California, student by day vampire slayer by night. It may sound like a cliche story line but I do promise laughs especially at the have ridiculous 90’s clothing but the writing is solid. Emotional, realistic, and witty. The characters each go through major transformations throughout the series and the bad guys are as scary as they are symbolic. Alyson Hannigan from How I Met Your Mother plays Buffy’s best friend Willow who dabbles with magic! Buffy is on Netflix and October is a perfect time to start binging on this 90s treasure.
The Following - Kevin Bacon delivers an amazing performance in this terrifying story of an Edgar Allen Poe obsessed serial killer who is fascinated with Bacon’s character. I was surprised this show was so enticing, considering the finale of season 1 left me staring at my television with confusion. To be honest, this show was made for people with strong stomachs, there is no holding back when it comes to blood, gore, and the fate of adorable puppies. If you’re an Edgar Allen Poe fan I strongly suggest giving The Following a shot, there are many references. Season 3 comes back in January on FOX!
Veronica Mars - Another strong female character, Veronica is a high-school student who is savvy, resilient, and determined. Her dad, Keith Mars was the local sheriff until Veronica’s best friend Lilly (Amanda Seyfried) was found murdered - and Keith believed Lily’s father to be the killer. Keith becomes a private eye and Veronica, who appears to be just his secretary, picks up some skills and takes on solving Lily’s murder. Set in Neptune, California V. Mars fans (known as “marshmallows”) have come to love this mystery show so much that kick-starter fund was created to help produce a Veronica Mars movie! If you like mystery/thrillers, romance, puns, and California surfer boys, Veronica Mars is for you and also available on Netflix.
If Squid Game took over Washington
Can you imagine binge-watching shows on a Saturday night with Sidney, just cuddling on a sofa and nuzzling each other. Talk about Netflix and chill.
They look so comfortable with each other.
The moment when you’re surrounded by incompetent idiots who are incapable of reproducing even a single one of your thoughts
This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it
- “It just looks like a wine glass.” …in case you thought Clary wasn’t going to start the episode off by being an asshole
- “First rule of shadowhunting: when something explodes, just keep walking.” Looks like someone studied at the school of CSI: Miami yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
- All the computer monitors. Why. Like why do they have so many, when they can also do magic. I don’t get it. If Steve Jobs is better at getting you information when you can do actual magic, then you suck at magic.
The fact that this Chinese food restaurant is on the docks, in a shipping yard, literally nestled in between shipping containers
again, #why
The set designer who put this small desk in the middle of nowhere and filled it with tchotchkes so no one could actually use it
now no one will notice this empty corner, perfect
- Clary’s plan to visit Simon’s mom and tell her that there’s been ‘an accident’ and her son ‘isn’t coming back,’ and just assuming she wouldn’t ask for any specifics, because honestly what mom would, am i right #Clarylogic
- “Are you seriously telling me a story right now?” Clary actually has a point this time, Jace could have set the tone by just saying ‘im going to tell you a story’ and i bet she would have been on board but out of the blue with the whole ‘there once was a boy’ shit and it’s kind of like ‘what the fuck is happening’ you know?
- “I can see why all the girls in Idris are clamoring to meet you.” “Whaddya mean.” “Rumor has it you’re looking to settle down. Get married.” “Dammit.” Alec reaches levels of emotionless apathy so powerful they could open up Dr. Strange level portals into other dimensions. It’s really quite beautiful.
- John Monteverde. never forget.
- the “best forensic pathologist in New York” is… Izzie?
- “I want to get my hands on that thing.” “Speaking of Alec…” bless you Magnus
the scene where Clary says “over my dead body” and then punches a vampire in the face and walks away like a bad bitch
looks like someone studied at the school of CSI: Transylvania
in case you forgot about Hodge, here he is wearing this outfit
ok bye Hodge
Simon discovering that one of the downfalls of being a vampire is the inability to say ‘God’
- when Clary tries to remind Simon of his humanity by telling him that he’s the same Simon “that can recite every line from every Nicolas Cage movie”, which really isn’t a skill you should remind people of if you don’t want them to spiral into a deep pit of despair
Simon telling Clary to stay away and then running off real fast, leaving Clary to be comforted by Jace as she repeatedly cries, “What did I do?”
this is why i watch this show, for these moments of pure emotional depth
Coming March 17: Striking Out, starring Amy Huberman (The Clinic). Hailed as “a roaring success” (Irish Independent), this legal drama charmed audiences across the pond, quickly becoming Ireland’s #1 new drama.
Tara Rafferty (Huberman) is living the good life: she’s a successful Dublin lawyer engaged to a fellow attorney. But Tara’s life is turned upside down after she discovers her betrothed in bed with a colleague. Abandoning her wedding plans (and her job), Tara strikes out on her own, starting an unconventional private practice. At first unsure how she’ll cope, Tara begins to realize she is more than capable of being on her own – both personally and professionally.
