Those who were looking forward to Ariel showing up were very happy with last week’s episode, I’m sure. They put their own twist on The Little Mermaid, and the outcome was very fun. But we aren’t through with Ariel yet, as JoAnna Garcia Swisher is… Read More »Episode Preview: Once Upon a Time 3-7 – Dark Hallow
Part of me is frustrated that Once Upon a Time in Wonderland wasn’t on last week. I like the show, and it seems cruel to have it off the air after only three weeks, especially when it is struggling in the ratings. That’s a good… Read More »Once Upon a Time in Wonderland Preview: 1-4 The Serpent
It’s been two weeks so let’s do a quick recap: When we last left our heroes, Skye had basically destroyed all of the trust that she’d gained from her teammates. We also found out that she wants to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. Because she wants to find… Read More »Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode six preview – FZZT
Well, hello there! I am back with a series of gift ideas for you to give the Disney fan in your life. I will separate them into various categories, with this time being ABC. Every guide will also include a Toys for Tots option, which is something that isn’t that expensive and would be great to donate this cheerful holiday season. I loved creating these last year, so I am so excited to do them earlier this year so you have a plan of action come Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
1. Songs from Scandal: Music for Gladiators~ I love “Scandal” as much as the next person…okay, maybe a little more, but one of the constant highlights of the hit show is the fantastic soundtrack that accompanies the drama. Music for Gladiators is a funky mix of 70’s hits and current day tunes and a great compilation of songs that will definitely put you in a great mood. Warning: Listening may cause you to want to don a white Burberry suit and exclaim “IT’S HANDLED!” to everyone you see.
2. “The Chew” Canvas Lunch Tote~ Originally ridiculed for replacing a beloved soap opera, “The Chew” is now a staple for the ABC Daytime line-up, a fun addition at that. This cool lunch tote is BPA-free and is a great thing to hold your new recipes that you discovered on the show.
3. “The Neighbors” Season 1 on DVD~ This is one of the best comedies on TV right now. The story of a New Jersey family moving into a suburb populated by aliens is a riot that never takes itself too seriously, constantly breaking the 4th wall and referencing itself “Can we do this quickly though, Shark Tank starts in 20 minutes.” I highly recommend gifting The Neighbors Season 1, then going over to the recipients house and binge watching it with them.

Things are tense right now between Castle and Alexis since Castle is treating Alexis’ current boyfriend, Pi, like a complete jerk. I won’t restart that particular fight here, but let’s just say I can see both sides in this ongoing debate. That’s why I think… Read More »Castle Preview: 6-7 – Like Father, Like Daughter
Thor: The Dark World opened overseas this weekend to $45.3 million. That’s a good sign. Marvel announced that there will be a special 5 minute preview of Captain America: Winter Soldier for the 3-D showings of The Dark World. I realize that this is a… Read More »Marvel News Roundup
The news leaked months ago that Ariel was coming to Once Upon a Time this season, and I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say her first appearance will be in this week’s episode. After all, the episode title is just her name. I’m excited… Read More »Once Upon a Time Preview: 3-6 Ariel
I apologize for missing last week, but let’s discuss this week’s episode.
The team heads back to L.A. when one of the super-humans that they’ve been monitoring goes missing. Turns out, Chan Ho Yin, a.k.a. Scorch, has been enticed by an offer to boost his powers by Raina, a.k.a. the girl in the flower dress.
Raina is working with the same doctor who we saw in the pilot episode. They are looking for something that will counteract the explosive effects from the EXTREMIS part of their project Centipede and they think that Scortch’s pyrokinetic abilities will be the answer.
While this is the case, neither Chan nor the doctor live long enough to see their efforts come to fruition. Chan is injected with the EXTREMIS serum by May and explodes while the doctor is killed by Raina who, it turns out is working for someone else. We meet him at the end of the episode when he and Raina discuss bringing in the “Clairvoyant.”
So, what is the team up to besides trying to stop Scorch and Raina? Well, Skye’s continuing relationship with the Rising Tide comes to a head and almost costs her her position on the team. It does cost her the trust that she had earned from her teammates, but she finally opens up to Coulson and reveals her true intentions.
