As I write this, we are just a few hours out from the tragic death of Michelle Trachtenberg. She was just 39 years old, and she has no business no longer being with us at such a young age. Tell the people you care about that you love them as often as you can. Before you enjoy this article, take a moment of silence for … Continue reading Rest In Peace Michelle Trachtenberg: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E11
Dawn and Tara wake up at seven A.M and discover no one else is in the house. Buffy and Willow never came home from their late night shenanigans from the night before! We cut to Buffy waking up with Spike. They don’t recall the building collapsing on them, and Spike implies they had sex at least twice. Buffy is aghast, which makes virtually no sense … Continue reading DARE To Keep Kids Off Magic!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E10
With all the whacky hi-jinx of amnesia left behind in last episode, we open today’s BTVS with Buffy coming across a simple, non-supernatural mugging. She starts kicking the muggers’ asses, but then Spike intervenes, causing a jolt of pain from his implant when he tackles one of the ne’er-do-wells. He asks Buffy if she wants to help get his rocks off, but she declines and … Continue reading Mr. Chen, Child Prodigy: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E9
With the sing-song episode left in the rearview mirror, I worry I have nothing left to look forward to except a season-and-a-half of episodes which I’m told are not very good. But I endeavor to finish the series and move on, so here we are! We kick things off, as we so often do, with Buffy out at nighttime in a cemetery. She doesn’t appear … Continue reading Bunnymania!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E8
Okay, here is the episode I keep hearing so much about, so let’s get into it. “Once More With Feeling” kicks off with an old-timey opening credits with the characters faces transposed over an image of the moon while their actor names are in a red, sitcom-y font next to them. The song that plays is even a jingly bastardization of the typical Nerf Herder … Continue reading Mustard!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E7
Episode 5 Episode 5 kicks off with Buffy bringing home fried chicken. This is mundane and uninspired, and I ALMOST considered not even noting it until Willow delivered the line “I’m a breast girl”, then turned to Tara and said “But then again, you knew that”, and I laughed and laughed. And that’s not actually sarcasm; I actually did have a solid L.O.L. at that … Continue reading Naughty Colloquialisms: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E5-6

Joyce died on the table and is gone forever! Wait, no, that was just what I was hoping for. Mom is actually completely fine, and the surgery was a total success. Nuts.

Well, my Buffy The Vampire Slayer retrospective as a first time watcher seems to be going along pretty well. Why not start another show? My intention was originally to wait until I was done with Buffy before starting anything else, but then I realized two things: First, content is still king, and I am quickly about to hit my wall on pre-written material. And secondly, … Continue reading Stealing Jokes From 1999: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E1-2

A drunk Angel … Continue reading Time For A Sword Fight! A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E21-22
“Never Trust Anyone Whose Favorite Movie Came Out After They Turned 21”. I saw someone post this once on Twitter, and I was aghast. (I wasn’t. I just like the word “aghast” and need to work it into more things. “Rob, what did you think of your niece’s 2nd birthday party?” “I was aghast!” See? Always fun) Anyway, I started thinking, “Well how true can … Continue reading On Nostalgia And Biases

Right off the bat, let’s be honest here, I didn’t make this list to win the poll. In fact, this isn’t even really a list of the best theme songs, but it’s MY choices for the best. … Continue reading Top Ten: TV Theme Songs (By SO WIZARD!)
JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: Behold, the embodiment of the entire 1980s. The Transformers is the mightiest toy-selling cartoon of all time, and G.I. Joe is probably the best overall, but Jem will always have my heart. See, where alot of these shows come from the epitome of animation that was the ’80s, very few of them actually LOOK “’80s”. Sure, there’s Ghetto Blasters (better known as Boom-Boxes these days…. or … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms
