Jay WilliamsPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Killing Eve': Two Women. Two Sides of the Same Coin. Both Caught up in Something Much Bigger
A TV series, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, that approaches femininity in an entirely refreshing way that tantalises the tastebuds for more; if you just dare yourself to dive into episode 1 available on the BBC iPlayer. You'll be met with a mysterious woman sitting in an ice-cream parlour in Vienna; being stared at by a snotty little child across the way. From the very beginning you can tell this woman is different, as she attempts to smile at the child, being met with a dirty look. She already has established herself as not having the maternal gene; that a woman is just supposed to innately have. She charms the girl by mimicking the male shop attendant's reactions; only to throw her ice-cream all over her before leaving. This impulsive, childish, and carefree nature is alluring yet disturbing; when set in a woman that rebels against commonplace femininity and common gender associations. In fact, this killer often uses her femininity as a weapon against her prey; who don't even see her coming due to being labelled just another pretty woman in a crowd. In that crowd though hides the assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer, Star of the Show), who is a hired gun by a sinister organisation called "the twelve," that like our assassin, hides in the shadows waiting to strike against powerful and famous VIPS all over the world. Maybe she's tired of the cycle of death she delivers perfectly over and over, never getting tired of the sick and twisted pleasure she gets from watching her targets' last dying breath. However, Villanelle slowly comes to the realisation that she needs a new challenge.
Shauna GrahamPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Pound'
Pound begins in the dark with Christopher Lloyd (Ezra Pound), quoting Pound's play Pull Down Thy Vanity, which sums up the play, Pound at the Lion Theater. The play takes place in the St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Pound holds court with his "groupies." He receives people as he wishes and orders the workers around like they work for him. He has been charged with treason, from his socialist rants against America, capitalism and Jews. Having lived in Italy for many years, he was deported under treason charges and ended up where the entire play takes place, the insane asylum. Pound is ornery, indignant, and a tyrant in this facility. Some of the things he says to nurse Priscomb are downright cruel. He refers to her as blue hair and tells her that she could never be married and compares her to the newest Doctor, Dr. Polley (Kate Abbruzzese). Pound is equally cruel to his so-called friend Archibald Mac Leish, a poet who was trained by Pound, who is also a lawyer because as he says, "Poets need to pay their bills." Mac Leish knows Pound, or at least he thinks he does. He is ever grateful for what Pound did for him and is doing his best to get Pound out of there and clear his name and take him on tour as well.

The magical moment when a book is opened for the first time by a reader is by far the greatest moment for not only a book lover but by the author. The moment a story begins is not when it is written by the author but when the reader takes the story as their own. A story for an author is a memory, a dream, an alternate reality that is written down for others to experience. Since the reader is not the original all powerful creator that is the author, the only way for the non-author to take place in the author’s world is by reading the world’s written form, a book. An author wouldn’t be an author if they did not want to share their world to others and the wonders that they personally see in it. It is imperative that the author does everything in their power to make their world a great experience to the reader as possible. Though, each author is different, and how they go about creating such experience and how much of it is given to any one book/story/world is up to them.
