Pro Football is Year-Round Now, and I Am Here For It
The Super Bowl Champion has been crowned, and with that, another NFL season came to a close, thus beginning the longest offseason in sports. The NBA and NHL take the summer and the month of September off. MLB is off during the winter months, but when the Lombardi Trophy is awarded, the day after kicks off a seven-month offseason, with the NFL Draft being the only relevant blip between the final whistle on Super Bowl Sunday, and the opening kickoff of the following season. For the most part, that had been the case.

Red Death Review: "Hear No Evil"
Entering today, the big high I received from the previous week's final season opener of The Flash had slowed down a bit. Then the 8PM hour drew close, and it all came back again. In case you (somehow) missed it, Barry Allen will have one final Big Bad to deal with: Red Death. In the comics, Red Death is an evil version of Batman, but in the Arrowverse, the Red Death who will plague The Flash is actually an evil version of Batwoman, and will be played by Javicia Leslie.

Villainess Review: Shannon Steerman (Alert: Missing Persons Unit)
I have really enjoyed Fox's Monday night lineup in recent years. Usually, the 9-1-1 shows dominate Mondays, but there's also other programming when they're off. In this case, Fox has the Fantasy Island reboot, followed by one of their newest series, Alert: Missing Persons Unit (often simply known as Alert). It was easy for me to be all in on this, and I have two main reasons. Firstly, the show reminds me a bit of Ransom, the international series that aired on CBS for a few years, and second, the main stars. The series stars Scott Caan (son of the late, great James Caan) as Jason Grant--ex-military. For Caan, this is his first series after spending a decade on CBS' Hawaii Five-O reboot. Dania Ramirez is the other main star, portraying Jason's ex-wife (and co-worker in the MPU) Nikki Batista; of course, Ramirez is best known for being one of the titular Devious Maids, as well as being part of the final season of Once Upon a Time.

Villainess Review: Melissa (Illumeably)
Valentine's Day. A day to celebrate love with your significant other. A day to honor one's better half. Also, it's a day where couples become, well, spontaneous (that's the clean way of looking at it). I hope the readers of this story have a wonderful Valentine's Day, but even the ultimate holiday for love isn't safe from villainesses. Just ask Illumeably.

Villainess Review: Janice Perry (Tales from the Darkside)
Who remembers Tales from the Darkside? This series was one of a vast number of horror/suspense anthology shows that had been the rage since (as early as) the mid-to-late 1950s. In a way, we have the film, Creepshow, to thank for this, as Tales from the Darkside was meant to be an answer of sorts to that film, which was a big hit. I myself remember this show and Monsters (both developed by Richard P. Rubinstein) airing in reruns back-to-back as a kid, though the former came first; airing for four seasons between 1984 and 1988 following their 1983 pilot, "Trick or Treat." The show also spawned a movie that came out in 1990, which featured a cast that included Christian Slater, Rae Dawn Chong, and Deborah Harry (among others).

Super Bowl LVII Recap: Back to the Top
Super Bowl Sunday. Those are the three sweetest words in the English language. Super Bowl Sunday is the holiest day of the sports calendar year, and it's by a big margin. I always look forward to this day, regardless of who is participating. Even during the many years that we were basically suffocated by the New England Patriots, I still enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday. This year, it was the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale, Arizona, and there were three main storylines in play. One, Andy Reid was coaching against the team he coached for over a decade. Two, brothers Travis and Jason Kelce were facing each other in the big game, and three, this was the first time in Super Bowl history that Black starting QBs would face each other.

Villainess Review: Patty Garner (10 Year Reunion)
You know, I really love these Lifetime movies that centered on a group of women getting together. One reason is because they usually involve at least one known actress who I'm a fan of, but there's also the obvious reason: one of them turns out to be evil. It's a case that has been seen so many times on Lifetime, and the 2016 thriller, 10 Year Reunion.

Wolf Pack Review: "Origin Point"
In a football season, Week 3 can serve as a turning point. Though football is the only sport where literally every game is important, Week 3 locks in tones for certain teams, and separates potential contenders from potential pretenders. When it comes to TV shows, especially serials with (at least) one mystery, Week 3 is when the plot starts to really thicken and things add up, with possible twists on the horizon. This was definitely the case with Paramount+'s Wolf Pack, and after we see a different quartet kick off the latest episode, the scene shifts to our familiar foursome.

1 vs 8 or Divisional: Which Stanley Cup Playoff Format is Better?
For hockey fans, the road to the Stanley Cup is a fun one. Stressful and nail-biting, yes, but fun. The Stanley Cup Playoffs serves as the best sports stretch on the calendar year; after a wild 82-game season, an even wilder 16-team postseason begins in mid-April and ends with the Stanley Cup awarded in mid-June. There is never a debate regarding how fun the Stanley Cup Playoffs are, because it is immensely exciting to watch 16 teams fight for the greatest prize in sports. The debate, however, is centered on the format.

A Look at Javicia Leslie's Villainous Return to the Arrowverse
Despite the fact that my immense ignorance of everything involving superhero comics came out while watching the final moments of The Flash, I'm still elated over this development. The Flash began its ninth and final season on February 9, 2023 with "Wednesday Ever After," the first of the final 13 episodes. The episode saw Barry and Iris in a time loop, with the former dealing with the episode's central baddie, Captain Boomerang, who was played by Richard Harmon of Continuum fame. Though everything ended well for Team Flash, we were treated to a final scene that saw Captain Boomerang calling out whoever he was working for in an abandoned warehouse.
