It is time to give the ladies their due. A few months ago, I wrote an article about actors in sci-fi and fantasy series with the best accents. I want to be fair to the sexes so it’s time for the female version. These ladies are a pleasure to listen to Read More

The beauty of this column is when I can introduce characters that should get more attention. I will come across a series and I feel I must advertise them. The great Jacqueline Carey posted an article about sci-fi and fantasy series that should be made Read More

I think a good portion of YouTube users know Egoraptor — real name Arin Hanson. He makes some funny animated videos that are quite nerdy. He is also a showrunner of the Game Grumps series, where video games are played and hijinks are the order of the Read More

So, I am getting married shortly. Like many nerds and geeks, I wanted a theme wedding. One of the fandoms my fiancé and I both like is Doctor Who — thus, we had our theme. We are close to our wedding and I have learned a few things about planning a Read More

This week’s loathing came like a lightning bolt. I was sitting around, my mind blank, when it suddenly popped into my head. The new Sailor Moon will be premiering in July. I am looking forward to it in all ways but one. I am not eager to see Chibiusa Read More
