Buffy: Normal Again?
I am intrigued. Not by the Anya/Xander storyline. Not by Willow. Or Dawn or Xander. By Buffy. I’m actually intrigued by Buffy. I know, I know, I just wrote her off! However, if the end of “Normal Again” is ever…
Dawson's Creek: Woes from the Creek
If the word “suck” didn’t exist, Dawson’s Creek would have created it. And I can say this because I’ve watched from the beginning. Every single, excruciating, soulmate-overdosing second. I’ve watched. I’ve taped. I’ve written fanfiction. I can say this, you…
Buffy: Less Than Gay?
Dead Lesbian Cliché? In spring 2002, the Internet was all aflutter with the rumor that Amber Benson’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer character, Tara Maclay, was to be killed off on the series. Now, for those of you who don’t follow…
Alias: Furrow Mania
Written by Michelle, Amy Agent Vaughn. Inappropriate agent extraordinaire. Buyer of Christmas presents. Refuser of hockey. And wielder of one mean furrow. Ah, the furrow. A mystery any avid watcher of Alias must learn to decipher. One might sit episode…
Who’s Your Ultimate Lost Guy?
The hit television series Lost is a bit like a bag of Hershey’s miniatures — there’s a little something for everyone. At least in terms of boys. Whether you’re into big and funny or blond and broody, Lost has an…
Buffy Bitching
We love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We do. It’s one of the best shows on TV. But lately, it’s done nothing but frustrate us. We feel it’s turning into nothing more than a show filled with one-trick ponies – from…
Dawson’s Creek Trickles Out
So, the gurls asked me to do a little recap on Season Six for you wonderful readers out there, a little companion piece to the wrap up I did on the first five. This was, originally, not a good plan,…
Smallville: Angry Lex is Good Lex
A recent conversation between myself and my husband: Me: I daresay the Smallville season finale was better than the Angel finale, the X-Files series finale and Episode II. Brad: Sadly, it’s true. I’m actually not sad at all that the…

Dawson’s Creek: Capeside Redemption
Laura: I’ll preface this bit by admitting, up front, that I was pretty much in tears for most of the Dawson’s Creek finale. Not for the episode itself (more on that later) but for the fact that it was ending.…
La Femme Nikita: Viva Davenport
Written by Amy, Michelle Viva Davenport Or, Welcome to the Real La Obsession Nikita* *warning: geeky gurls ahead. We’re not kidding. Consider yourself warned. We, being two gurlies with an appreciation for a chick who can dig kick-ass (and ass-kickin’)…
High Stakes Hootenanny
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a lifelong Democrat, and I’m voting for John Kerry. That said, I briefly considered voting for Bush while at the Joss Whedon Fundraiser for Kerry, High Stakes 2004. It’s not that I don’t…
AMTK: Wildcard Stud
Here’s what happens when a reality show gets good ratings: They come up with reasons to make more episodes, even if it means bringing back the competitive dregs of previous episodes. America’s Most Talented Kid is no different, so they…
Leslie Knope is My Life Coach
Mark: Honestly, Leslie, it’s going to be a long uphill battle. You are going to be super-annoyed with all the people who want you to fail. There is a sea of red tape, endless road blocks. So, yeah, I don’t…
The WB Bows Out
When they announced the merger of The WB and UPN, I was surprised but gave it little thought. I knew both netlets had been struggling with ratings, and a joining of the two for a potentially competitive network made decent…
Buffy: In Love for the First Time With a Dead Guy
I’m supposed to be writing about B/A ‘shippers. That would be Buffy/Angel ‘shippers, for the oblivious. Problem is, I don’t know a whole lot about them, nor do I care. I’ve heard rumors about some of their antics (letter writing,…
Buffy: Drink Up, Friends
Written by Michelle, Amy, Melynee and Kristen After a group-viewing of the hideous, craptastic Xander/Anya wedding, we realized that we’d be hard-pressed to make it through yet another episode of this once excellent show without some outside help. Because, people,…
Buffy Returns

Pop Music Is One Big SNL Sketch These Days
“Deep House Dish” is one of Saturday Night Live’s more popular recurring sketches of the past few years. When it debuted in 2005, it was an absurd send-up of house, techno, and Euro-pop music that bore little resemblance to America’s…
Alias: The Plot
Written by Michelle, Amy, Melynee Please, bear with us, as we found this to be extremely difficult. Condensing the plot, that is. It is a very elaborate plot, and we are very verbose gurls. But we tried. Really. So, without…
Fan Event Stake Out
A week and a half away from the election I, at long last, managed to get myself to a political fundraiser. This wasn’t your typical pay-for-your-high-priced-ticket-to-schmooze-with-the-local-bigwigs-over-Chardonnay-and-stuffed-mushrooms affair. Nope, this was a national event, featuring a menu of pizza and frosting…
Roswell: Welcome to the Cult of Insanity
Fandom. What starts it? What defines it? What causes it to thrive, to grow, to take on a life of its own? And why, oh why, did it spawn the morass of insanity known to us as ‘shippers? “‘Shipper” is…
