The 1st Clinching Scenarios (Week 14)
As expected, Week 14 features the first clinching scenarios of the season, which has reached the second week of December. Counting the upcoming Week 14, five weeks remain in this season, with the playoffs kicking off on January 15, 2022--which actually marks the 55th anniversary of the very first Super Bowl. Before we get to the scenarios, let's take a look at the current playoff picture.

Week 13 Recap: Lions Win!. Top Story - December 2021.
They did it! They finally did it! Like most things the Detroit Lions do, it wasn't easy. Week 13 saw the Lions hosting the Minnesota Vikings for the second and last time this season; the first meeting in Minnesota saw the Vikings win via a last second field goal, and also saw Lions head coach Dan Campbell tearfully hype up his team. As for this meeting, the Lions had a big lead, 20-3, but it ended up slipping away, bit by bit, with Justin Jefferson's touchdown giving the Vikings a 27-23 lead with under two minutes left in regulation.

Villainess Review: Gwenn Harwin (Castle)
The holidays are upon us, and it is always a festive time of the year. Even the crime shows celebrate the holidays, but they do have its share of grinches, and as a holiday episode of Monk proved, some of them are female. Another example came from Castle, as the holiday-themed episode, "Secret Santa," centered on the shocking murder of a professional Santa Claus.

A Look Back: When Trish and Lita Main Evented Raw in 2004
I am a diehard fan of women's wrestling and hockey, and a question I often ask myself is, "Which do I love more?" To this day, I still haven't answered that definitively. That's how much I adore women's wrestling. All I ask for is for women's wrestling to be put in the biggest spotlight possible, because, as I've said for many years now, women are the true stars of wrestling. And as a diehard fan, I will always treasure the evening of December 6, 2004, as that night's edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw saw Trish Stratus and Lita compete in the main event.

Analyzing Season One of "Chucky" and Giving My Theories/Hopes for Season Two
I don't even know where to begin with this, I swear I don't. I've been a diehard fan of the Chucky series of films for 30 years. The first horror film I remember watching was the first Child's Play, and I was only six years old when I watched! I've watched the movies too many times to count, to the point where I could basically describe it bit-by-bit and point out each key line and moment from the films. So when I learned about a Chucky TV series coming to USA and SyFy, I was elated! I knew I would absolutely love it; I had the highest of expectations for this show, and it managed to exceed them!

The Story So Far (Week 13)
We made it. We made it to the magical month of December. Any NFL fan knows that December is when, as Jim Ross often says, "business starts to pick up." December is not only the last month of the calendar year, it is also the final full month of the NFL season, and that's when the playoff races get very interesting. Before this season, the regular season either ended on the final Sunday of the calendar year, or the first Sunday of the New Year, but now it's a 17-game season played in 18 weeks, meaning that the season is now guaranteed to enter the New Year.

Villainess Review: Holly Gero (L.A.'s Finest)
Another show that lasted much shorter than it should have was L.A.'s Finest, which was the televised spinoff/continuation of the Bad Boys series. The show took Gabrielle Union's Bad Boys 2 character, Sydney Burnett (the sister of Martin Lawrence's Marcus Burnett) and paired her with fellow detective Nancy McKenna (Jessica Alba; who wasn't in any of the films) for this spinoff series, which aired as Spectrum On Demand's very first original series. I really enjoyed this show, and watched both seasons, but was very dismayed when I read that the show was canceled and wouldn't get a third season.

Villainess Review: Annie Mitchell (The Twilight Zone)
I really enjoyed the most recent version of The Twilight Zone, the one that aired on what was formerly known as CBS All Access (now Paramount+). I grew up on that show; I've seen episodes of the original 1950/60s version a few times. I definitely remember the 80s version and seeing reruns of that; I also still recall seeing the creepy and well done intro to the 80s version when I was about 6 years old, I was both scared and awe-struck. A short-lived version aired on UPN during the 2002-03 season, making this one mentioned as the subject as the fourth and most recent incarnation. I am still upset that it got canceled; I think Season Two topped their first year, and it all began with the episode, "Meet in the Middle."

NFL Week 12 Recap: Winter Is Coming
Among the many things I love about Thanksgiving is this: it serves as the precursor to the home stretch of the NFL season. With Week 12 in the books, we are now two-thirds through the season. Yet already, a nuclear winter is starting to hit some teams who fancy themselves as playoff or even championship contenders. Let's start with the most glaring downward trend, the Los Angeles Rams.

Is There No End to the Vancouver Canucks' Freefall?
One of the many things that stood out to me during the "bubble" Stanley Cup Playoffs of 2020 was how well the Vancouver Canucks did. The Canucks entered the 2019-20 season still looking for something, anything that would spark them to a possible Stanley Cup in the near future. Of course, that season was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Canucks would get their chance in the modified playoffs that took place in the late summer and early fall of 2020. What we saw from the Canucks was an amazing run the likes of which we have never seen since they fell one win short of the Stanley Cup in 2011.

Five games in three weeks, and it began with the East Semifinal between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Montréal Alouettes in Hamilton, Ontario.
