NHL November 2022 Review
This November was quite amazing during the 2022-23 season. As I watched during the past 30 days, I was planning on what teams to feature in this review for the month of November, and the reason for that is simple. As I stated in my October review, the monthly review will contain a story from each of the NHL's four divisions: Atlantic, Metropolitan, Central, and Pacific, and each story centers on a team who I believe made the most noise from each of the divisions, either positively or negatively. The teams are as follows:

Now The Real Fun Begins (Week 13)
It's here! The NFL's home stretch of the regular season is finally here! The season will enter the month of December, which is the pivotal month of the season, as that's when the playoff spots can be punched in, while teams can be thinned out. 2022 marks the third year of the NFL's current playoff format, which allows seven playoff teams per conference, totalling 14 in all. It is also the second year of the NFL's current 17-game, 18-week season, and with 12 weeks in the books, that leaves the final one-third left to play out. For those who are still trying to get used to this current playoff format, here's how it goes.

Darkness at a College Campus
After another long day, Lydia Marner, a college professor of mythology, was driving home, and she had a lot on her mind. She had been at her current university for five years, and she was looking to get tenure, something she felt was inevitable in her case. There was also frustration regarding her students, as she felt that they weren't really getting into her lessons like she wanted, though once Lydia arrived home, her attention turned to a drone that was delivering a package right at her doorstep.

NFL Week 12 Recap: It's Not Easy Being Green (and Gold)
Week 12's Sunday Night Football showcase between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles was one of the most entertaining games I had ever seen. Though the Packers got off to a bad start by falling down 13-0 quicker than a hiccup, the team bounced back and actually took the lead, on the road, against a team who lost only one game. Just before halftime, the game was tied at 20, but a late Eagles touchdown made it 27-20 after two quarters. Unfortunately, the Packers didn't get back in to the game, but they made it close at the tail end. The Eagles went on to win, 40-33, improving them to 10-1, while the Packers fell to 4-8 and are on life support.

A Look at the Vast Decline of the NFC South
I said this once before; I do love "trainwreck divisions," because they get all the interest and attention. This on-and-off trend started in 2010, when the NFC West was so terrible that the Seattle Seahawks ended up finishing first with a 7-9 record. Since then, we have seen our share of mediocre/subpar division champions over the years. Even the NFC North fell victim to this in 2013. I remember that year vividly; Aaron Rodgers missed several weeks due to injury, yet while the Green Bay Packers did regress, so did the rest of the division. Rodgers returned on the final week to defeat the Chicago Bears, resulting in the Packers winning the division at 8-7-1.

Villainess Review: Jennifer O'Brien (Supernatural)
The eighth season of Supernatural was quite a crazy one; for one, it was coming off Dean and Castiel ending up in Purgatory after eliminating Dick Roman (couldn't stand those damn Leviathans). While they do emerge in Season Eight, the home stretch of the season has Sam going through trials in a quest to keep all demons locked in Hell permanently. So this was quite a big year for Team Winchester, but that didn't mean we wouldn't see some wonderful one-off cases during this wild season.

One Year Later: Meeting Melina
It's so hard to believe that on this day one year ago, I actually met my all time favorite in women's wrestling, Melina Perez! I've been a fan of Melina since her memorable WWE main roster debut on April 14, 2005, and I've been blessed to have seen Melina in action for 17 years. This is regardless of promotion; she was in WWE for six years, and it's been followed by stints in the indy circuit, NWA, Impact Wrestling, and even an appearance on Lucha Underground.

Villainess Review: Wendy Bouchard (Fatal Family Reunion)
I was quite elated when I learned that this film, Fatal Family Reunion, would hit Lifetime Movie Network on Thanksgiving weekend, which has featured its share of amazing thrillers over the years. Another classic from Marvista, I learned about this film on their site a few months ago, and of course, it comes just two weeks after we were treated to one amazing villainess, and regarding this film, it also delivered.

The Iconic Career of Börje Salming
On November 24, 2022, Börje Salming, one of the most legendary figures in the history of the National Hockey League, passed away at the age of 71. As a diehard hockey fan, I am ashamed to say that my knowledge of this great man is quite small, but I would learn a lot about this amazing player in the last couple of years--especially in the last few weeks. Born Anders Börje Salming in Salmi, Sweden on April 17, 1951, Salming began his hockey career in his native country in 1967, playing three years for Karuna AIF before joining Brynäs IF in 1970, going on to win two championships in 1971 and 1972.

Chucky Review: "Chucky Actually"
Oh man! The last seven days were spent with great anticipation for this second season finale of Chucky. I still recall how the first season ender was so amazing, and I figured that the finale of the series' sophomore season would top that one. Boy, is that an understatement. So we start off with a replay of the final moments of the previous episode, which sees Dr. Mixter escape with Chucky, only for the doll to be shot and killed by Andy, though Mixter does get away. As the group wonders if Chucky's life is flashing before his eyes, we get a flashback to a young Charles Lee Ray's sessions with Mixter.

What's On the Horizon for Elektra Lopez?
I've been wanting to write a story about Elektra Lopez for a while now. Her young WWE career has fascinated me for a while, especially the big shocker from last year, when she went from a few appearances as an enhancement talent, to becoming a fierce villainess aligned with the Legado del Fantasma faction.

Tommy Oliver: the GOAT of Power Rangers
This hurts. This really hurts. I've been a Power Rangers fan since this amazing phenomenon kicked off all the way back in 1993, when I was only eight years old. I've seen many different Rangers for so many years, but the bottom line is, the absolute GOAT when it comes to the Power Rangers is, without question, Tommy Oliver. Sadly, we lost the man who gave us this iconic character, as on November 19, 2022, Jason David Frank passed away at the age of 49. The biggest understatement I could ever say is that Tommy was my favorite Ranger, because those five words just won't cut it. I need to give more than that, it's well deserved.
