Growing up, Rose Duggan had no idea she was a geek. She thought her childhood of space camp, anime, Tolkien, and sci-fi was totally normal. The blame should probably lean towards her parents: a couple of original Trekkies who own a small collectibles business. 
I received the entire Harry Potter 8-movie set as a Christmas gift from my husband, and I admitted a crazy little piece of truth: I hadn’t seen the last movie yet. I know, that’s crazy. But, well, somewhere along the way, my devotion to the most amazing world I’d ever known had just fallen off.
The setting, art, and story of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: War #1 make for a very fast-paced and exciting read — if you like war-ravaged craziness, with lots of explosions, that is.
The second installation of Gary Phillips’s The Rinse came out swinging! I described the first in the series as gritty, and that was an incredible understatement compared to the direction the narrative has taken in this next installment.
The first installation of The Rinse is super rad — a quick and fun, gritty read that I really enjoyed. And I’m left hanging on for the next installation now too. I can’t wait. I really loved this, for everything: the artwork, the storyline, the questions I have that I want to see answered next time.
This funny little parody of Star Wars pleasantly surprised me with wittier humor and a more moving plotline than I was expecting. Overall, a fun read!
Dexter is totally in a bind and I’m so nervous for the finale I don’t think I’m going to sleep all week. This week was really tense and action-packed and did a great job really building things up for the end.
So the scary break-in preview turned out to be a drunk Astor? Oh, what a let down. I feel like every episode we’re getting is a mixed bag of highs and boring lulls. I really am craving a fast-paced all-action episode soon!
All in all this movie was amazing. I can’t wait to see it again, and it’s actually inspiring me to give my least favorite book in the series a good re-read. I laughed, I cried — I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
“Take It!” is the latest episode in this season of Dexter. Our favorite serial killer keeps weaving an oh-so-tangled web, Julia Stiles is starting to really win me over in her role this season, and despite a kind of ho-hum plot overall, I cannot wait for the next episode.
Two weeks ago, Army Wives left me an emotional wreck with the big deployment episode. It was old school heart-string-tugging Army Wives goodness. Now, things are getting really cheesy and Hollywood, and I’m rolling my eyes. A lot.
