The Cabin
Jessica Walcott was living a life that she had dreamed of; she was married to Stephen Walcott and had been for a year. For Jessica, it was an amazing life with a man she had fancied for quite some time, but for Stephen, it was a second trip down the aisle--following the sudden disappearance of his first wife, Fiona, during a camping trip two years prior. Jessica served as a means of support for Stephen in the time that passed following Fiona's disappearance, but as time went by, hope for Fiona's discovery decreased, but the sudden feelings between Stephen and Jessica suddenly increased.

Is It Time for a Change to NFL Overtime?
The thrilling AFC Divisional Playoff between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs ended up going to overtime tied at 36, due to Patrick Mahomes leading KC to field goal range with little time left. After Harrison Butker made the game-tying kick, KC won the coin toss, and their drive ended with a Travis Kelce touchdown that ended the game and sent the Chiefs to the AFC Championship. Josh Allen and the Bills never saw the ball in overtime, a fate that has befallen several teams who have lost overtime games (regular season and playoffs) played since this current rule was established in 2010.

Recapping the 1st Half of the Seattle Kraken's Inaugural Season
There was a lot of buzz and hype around the National Hockey League's 32nd franchise, even before the team found their new home. The buzz increased when it was officially announced that team #32 would play in Seattle, and the progression of the countdown to Seattle's debut included a new arena, jerseys, and the official name: Kraken. The Seattle Kraken made their anticipated debut this season, and they have played 41 games--putting them halfway into their inaugural season.

Divisional Playoff Recap: The End of the Road?. Top Story - January 2022.
I do enjoy the Divisional Playoff round for three reasons. One, it's the last taste of Saturday football in the NFL season. Two, the bye week teams began their playoff road, and three, it's the final step before the home stretch in this destination. The NFL's Elite Eight kicked off in Nashville, as the top-ranked Tennessee Titans hosted the Cincinnati Bengals, but it started of badly for the Titans, as Ryan Tannehill threw an interception seven seconds into the game! The Bengals ended up with a field goal off that turnover, and a second field goal made it 6-0, however, Derrick Henry (who was playing his first game since Halloween) ran it in to the end zone to tie the game, but his two-point attempt fell short. I swear, Mike Vrabel is the only coach who is more obsessed with two-pointers than John Harbaugh is.

Batwoman: Double Your Poison
The previous week's chapter of Batwoman's Poison Ivy storyline ended with Pamela Isley (OG Poison Ivy) revived and freed by the very woman who still carried a torch for her, Renee Montoya. As it turned out, Renee's use of Batwoman for her secret mission was all done so she could find Pam and release her from the desiccated state that Renee herself put her in a decade prior. In this episode, the aptly titled, "Meet Your Maker," we see Pam emerge from a pond, where she takes down a pair of fishermen, but she is still not at 100%, as far as her power is concerned.

Villainess Review: Dina Gardner (Deception)
Perhaps one of the best Lifetime-esque movies to never hit Lifetime (or even Lifetime Movie Network) had to be 2004's Deception, which centered on Erin Greer, a struggling actress who works at a detective agency as a decoy. Her job is to expose married men (usually well-to-do ones) as cheaters, with suspicious wives enlisting her services, and it was quite early in the film that Erin meets Max Gardner, with the pair instantly clicking. Max shows an empty ring finger in response to Erin's question about him being married, but he actually starts to come clean when they head to the hotel room.

Super Wild Card Weekend Recap: Blowouts Galore
I love the NFL Playoffs with a passion. Ever since my childhood, I always loved that opening playoff Saturday, and seeing the kickoff and realizing, "It's here. The playoffs are really here." I had that same exact feeling when the opening game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Las Vegas Raiders, and I was expecting a good game between these two teams. Sure enough, I got just that. The first game of the 2021 NFL Playoffs was close and nail-biting, but also had what usually comes with playoff games: officiating controversy. In this case, it was a badly timed whistle that ended up leading to a Bengals touchdown in the first half.

What Went Wrong: The Timeout Wasn't the Only Reason
The playoffs got underway, and many fans of the Los Angeles Chargers are still thinking, "If only Brandon Staley hadn't called that timeout." Yes, Brandon Staley's choice to call a timeout with 38 seconds left in overtime (and the game overall) was responsible for the Chargers' devastating loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the final game of the regular season. However, what if I told you that it wasn't the only cause of their demise? What if I told you that the timeout was just the cherry on top of a proverbial banana split of blown opportunities that occurred during the final four weeks of the regular season? No, this isn't 30 For 30; this is just a brief look at the factors that resulted in the Chargers missing the playoffs.

Stating the Obvious: The NFL Has a Diversity Problem
On January 27, 2007, Michael Pettaway Tomlin became the 16th head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, replacing the retiring Bill Cowher, who led the Steelers to victory in Super Bowl XL in the 2005 season. This current season is Tomlin's 15th as coach, and in that time, he led the Steelers to a win in Super Bowl XLIII, and returned to the big game two years later. He also has the impressive distinction of having never had a losing season. Not one. Why am I stating all of this? This past week, among the head coaches who were fired from their teams was Brian Flores (Miami Dolphins) and David Culley (Houston Texans), and as a result of this, Tomlin is the only Black head coach in the National Football League.

Batwoman: Reviewing OG Poison Ivy's Debut
The New Year means the return of a plethora of TV series, and that included the CW's Batwoman, which left off with quite a cliffhanger. As we all know, fans were teased with the appearance of villainess Poison Ivy during this current season, as the final moments of Season Two saw her vines crawling out of nowhere. We would see the vines get to Mary Hamilton during Season Three, and in the episode, "How Does Your Garden Grow?," Mary turned heel and became infected by the vines, leading to the beginning of her transformation into another Poison Ivy. The midseason finale, "Pick Your Poison," saw Mary fully embrace her heel persona while bonding with Alice, with the final moments seeing her complete her metamorphosis into Poison Mary.

What Went Wrong: The Colts Need a Quarterback
In a moment that would even make members of the 2003 Minnesota Vikings pull a Billy Madison and shout, "You blew it!", the Indianapolis Colts entered Week 17 of the 2021 season with a 90% chance of making the playoffs. In each of their final two weeks of the season, the Colts had the simplest clinching scenario: win and in. The most beautiful thing in the NFL is controlling your own destiny and not relying on other teams to help you, but even then, one has to capitalize on it. The Colts didn't do that. Now, I can understand losing to the Las Vegas Raiders; all of the negative stuff, that's off the field. On it, the Raiders are a good team, so the Colts losing to them in Week 17 isn't shameful. Week 18, however, that's another story.

From Almost a Superhero to Completely a Supervillainess
Superheroes have gone to the dark side before. The X-Men's Jean Grey has been consumed by the Phoenix in various comic storylines, as well as in TV and film adaptations--including the live action film, Dark Phoenix. Even in WWE, The Hurricane ditched his mask and cape in 2005 and became a bad boy, which led him to capture the Cruiserweight Championship in 2006. So if full superheroes aren't vulnerable to the temptation of evil, "almost" superheroes certainly aren't, and the January 10, 2022 edition of Monday Night Raw proved that to be true in regards to Nikki A.S.H.'s heel turn.
