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.

Villainess Review: Heather Glass (CSI: Vegas)
I'm a big fan of the CSI franchise, which has been on TV, on and off, for 23 years. It all started back in 2000 with the original CSI series, and it was followed by spinoffs CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, as well as the short-lived CSI: Cyber series. The abrupt cancellation of Cyber ended the franchise, but it was resurrected with the premiere of CSI: Vegas, which served as a continuation of the original series that aired between 2000 and 2015. The series also serves as a continuation of another trait from the franchise: delivering huge in the villainess department.

Wolf Pack Review: "Two Bitten, Two Born"
Oh, I love that feeling when you watch the series premiere, and then certain parts play in your head in the seven days that pass, and before you know it, it's time for Episode 2. It's a very familiar feeling for this TV viewer, and it amplifies when it's a crime or horror series, with Wolf Pack...well...actually falling into both categories. So after we get a recap of the premiere, the second episode, "Two Bitten, Two Born," picks up where the premiere ended: with the werewolf quartet, Everett, Blake, Harlan, and Luna, all together--though Blake runs off.

Reviewing the Anticipated Series Premiere of "Wolf Pack"
If I recall, it was about two months ago that this series, Wolf Pack, was announced. I was in. I didn't give this a second thought. I've been a fan of the werewolf subgenre for a long time, if you can't tell by some of my fiction pieces. And what could be better than a werewolf-centered series? How about a werewolf-centered series with the queen of the vampire slayers herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar?

Top 5 Actresses Who Should Play the Devil on the "Fantasy Island" Reboot
We are all familiar with Fantasy Island, aren't we? This phenomenon began all the way back in 1977, when a pair of telefilms set the stage for the hit series that was one of the many brain-children of the iconic Aaron Spelling. The premise was a simple one: visitors to the titular island lived out their fantasies, whatever they were, but there was always a price or a life lesson involved. The original series starred the legendary Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke, who ran the island along with his longtime friend and assistant, Tattoo, played memorably by Herve Villechaize.

Villainess Review: Chelsey Parker (Blue Bloods)
If there's one thing I've learned while binge-watching the long-running CBS series, Blue Bloods, it's this: the series is chock full of deliciously sinister villainesses. My story collection on Vocal is proof of that, as I've done profiles of four different villainesses from the series, which has aired on CBS since 2010 and is ongoing. The villainess count has been quite low in recent seasons, but it's still pretty high overall, and it includes quite a deranged one in the episode, "Lonely Hearts Club."

Villainess Review: Ann Merriweather & Virginia Grant (Thriller)
The late 1950s-early 1960s featured quite a trend on TV: horror/suspense anthology series. It was the period that gave us the original Twilight Zone, as well as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but the show that I'm focusing on in this review is the underrated series, Thriller. I had been familiar with the show, it popped up in reruns on all sorts of channels, but I didn't actually watch this show until two years ago--August 2020, to be exact. The pandemic was at its highest peak, and the sports pause allowed me to watch a lot of other things, including doing some binge watching. Among the number of shows I did enjoy watching was Thriller, which aired for two seasons between 1960 and 1962.

Villainess Review: Rose (Supernatural)
Season Eleven of Supernatural had quite a memorable storyline, and that's an understatement. Not only did it kick off what would be the final one-third of the series, but the season's centerpiece was The Darkness, which was released after Sam and Dean actually killed Death in the tenth season finale. Yes, you read that right. The Winchesters actually eliminated Death, and that led to The Darkness being released. So the brothers and their allies had a lot on their plate during the 2015-16 season, which I enjoyed watching every Wednesday night. Even with all of that, as we've seen in every season, we still had the "monster of the week" episodes, with one of them being "Red Meat."

Villainess Review: Linda Fusco (Monk)
One of the craziest developments and swerves in Monk's eight-year history occurred during the show's sixth season, but to properly tell this, I have to go back to Season Five. The episode, "Mr. Monk, Private Eye," centered on just that: Natalie had coerced Monk into going into the private eye business, despite Monk's aversions to the idea. Sure enough, the pair receive their first client, a realtor named Linda Fusco, who hired the pair to investigate a minor accident involving her car. Sure enough, the accident ends up evolving into a case regarding an unrelated murder, and Linda is along for the ride, which included her first meeting with Capt. Leland Stottlemeyer.

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.
