Villainess Review: Diane Hansen (Person of Interest)
I still remember seeing the promos for the CBS series, Person of Interest, when it aired, though I never saw one episode of the show until a few years later when I started binge-watching. The series had a fantastic cast, led by Jim Caviezel as John Reese, a former Army Rangers and CIA agent who was presumed dead. Michael Emerson played Harold Finch, a multimillionaire computer programmer who devised "The Machine," a program that collects all sorts of info to not only predict terrorist acts (among other crimes), but also identify those behind them. Finch uses The Machine to prevent any potential deaths, and he enlists Reese to seek out the people picked out by The Machine, and also determined if they are a victim or the perpetrator.

Villainess Review: Vanessa (Vid Chronicles)
Out of all of those "life lessons" video pages, I have to say that I love Vid Chronicles the best. For one, it's darker and grittier than Dhar Mann and Totally Studios, and secondly, the villainesses in Vid Chronicles are that much more interesting. One of a number of examples of both attributes is featured in one of their short films, Girlfriend Harms Boyfriend's Son, which centered on Vanessa, the girlfriend of divorced father James.

Villainess Review: Princess Audrey (Descendants 3)
I was enamored by the Descendants films before the first one even aired. I saw the preview for this in 2015 and I was all in on the concept: a quartet of offspring from Disney's noted villains. The group was led by Mal (Maleficent's daughter), and consisted of Carlos (Cruella de Vil's son), Jay (Jafar's son), and Evie (the Evil Queen's daughter). So I watched this on Disney Channel on the premiere date in 2015, and I absolutely loved this! The quartet's infiltration into Auradon and their slow and successful attempt at fitting in shined as the focus, and because these villainous offspring were the central protagonists, I figured that, in true Disney fashion, one of the heroic descendants would become villainous.

All That Glitters is Not Golden Knights
I've written two stories on the Vegas Golden Knights already. The first one centered on how the team and their fans have become immensely unlikable in less than five years of existence. The elitism that has blanketed the culture of the Golden Knights is due to the results of their inaugural year. As we all know, Year One saw the Golden Knights finish first in the Pacific Division, surpass the 100-point mark, and reach the Stanley Cup Final. They even won the first game of the Final, but lost the next four, but in spite of the defeat, just getting there on their first try was enough to pump the egos of the Golden Knights and their fans. They expected this every year. I'd go as far as to say that the team felt they deserved to be handed the Cup on the following year.

A Look at Major League Baseball's Many Changes as the Lockout Ends
It's over. The latest Major League Baseball lockout finally came to an end just one day short of the 100-day mark, with a tentative CBA agreement. The collateral damage was minimal; spring training was lost, and Opening Day ended up pushed back a week--from March 31 to April 7. Despite the later start, a full 162-game season is the plan, with the regular season set to end on October 2, 2022. This work stoppage is the first one since 1994, and that one saw the remainder of that season canceled, as well as that year's postseason and World Series. It also resulted in the 1995 season starting late and containing 144 games, and that season ended with the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series.

Who Will Be the Female Inductee in the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame? (Top 5 Possible Choices)
It's WrestleMania time, and that also means that it's time for the annual WWE Hall of Fame class to be built. Each class is interesting; it always involves a headliner, a secondary headliner, a celebrity inductee, a legend outside of WWE, and of course, a female inductee. While I am always interested to see who the main headliner will be (in the case of this year, it's The Undertaker), my main concern is the female inductee. Which woman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? Who will join the likes of Trish Stratus, Lita, Alundra Blayze, Jacqueline, Beth Phoenix, and recent inductees Molly Holly and The Bella Twins, among others?

Starved for Attention: The Tale of Sherri Papini
I actually remembered when this story broke: November 2, 2016. On that day, Sherri Papini, 34 at the time, disappeared while jogging. She was found on Thanksgiving Day, and had maintained her story that she had been abducted and held hostage by a pair of Hispanic women, even doing so in August 2020, when investigators became suspicious regarding her story. Then, on March 3, 2022, another story broke: Sherri Papini had been arrested--charged with staging her abduction. Oh man. This was a bit of a local story in my case; it came from Northern California, but local news here in Southern California was all over it. In the time that has passed since the arrest, so many details have come out.

Villainess Review: Nina Ellis (Law & Order)
One of the main things that upset me about NBC was the way they axed the original Law & Order back in 2010. The series aired for 20 seasons beginning in 1990, and while I wasn't a religious week-by-week viewer, I had seen enough of the show to know that it's legendary. So for a series that acclaimed to get the boot so unceremoniously after 20 years is just unacceptable. Then a miracle happened: the original L&O was returning! So I promised that I would watch the returning series week-by-week this time, and it's been impressive so far.

Villainess Review: Emma Sanders (You Can Never Go Home Again)
I always get excited when a new month begins in the world of Lifetime movies; mainly because each month brings a new theme for its films. Of course, I love the month of March anyway for sports reasons and it's my birth month, but regarding this March, the first Lifetime movie in the year's 3rd month was You Can Never Go Home Again, and it centered on Isabel "Izzy" Fletcher, an artist whose mother, famed artist May Malcolm, tragically passed away. Afterwards, Izzy, her husband Jack Fletcher, and their young daughter, Taylor, move to Jack's hometown of Clinton, Mississippi, and we later see Taylor and Jack being introduced to the former's teacher, Emma Sanders.

Villainess Review: Naomi Duvray (Castle)
Castle has had its share of captivating villainesses, though I have to say, some of the best ones had to have been from the show's seventh and penultimate season. One example was Nicole Morris from "Castle, P.I.," (whose review is shown here), and another appears in the episode, "Last Action Hero," which begins with an usher at a movie theater discovering a body at a nearby alley. When Castle and Beckett arrive at the scene, the former quickly recognized the victim as Lance DeLorca, an action film actor.

A Look Back: John Cena's 1st WWE Championship Reign
April 3, 2005. On that evening, I watched my very first WrestleMania, and I'll never forget it. The hype for WrestleMania 21 was quite big, and part of that hype included John Cena, as he entered the grand stage as the #1 Contender for the WWE Championship, a title he would win at the event and would hold for quite a long time. I knew Cena would win at the event, it was one of the many reasons why I watched WrestleMania 21, and it was as awesome as advertised. Cena's inaugural run as champion was also quite entertaining, and here's how it started.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Art Imitates Art" (Elementary)
I vividly remember watching this episode of Elementary, "Art Imitates Art," and it's mainly because of the progression and revelations involved. The episode began with the shocking murder of a young woman, Phoebe Elliott, who was shot and killed while waiting for her rideshare. The investigation revealed that the car driven in the murder happened to belong to Lewis Bowman, who was actually in prison--as he was convicted in the murder of another woman: Marissa Kagan, who was a friend of Phoebe's. A visit to Bowman's cell saw him proclaim his innocence in Marissa's murder, despite (by his own admission) being obsessed with Marissa.
