Revisiting Nostalgia
For whatever reason The Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan has made its circulation on TikTok. Not really sure why this gem of a movie has resurfaced but as it was one of my most watched movies in my childhood I thought I would throw my two cents in.

The Power of 'The Chosen'
Finding something to watch is tough these days, and causes as much existential angst as a last-minute college term paper. Maybe that's an overstatement, but finding the right show can take a lot of time which is frustrating in and of itself. By the time you do decide what to watch, it's usually one in the morning, time to go to bed. You won't, of course. You'll start binging then and there, bargaining with yourself all night long - "Just one more episode. I can get by on only five hours of sleep." Then five becomes four, becomes two, becomes zero. None of that is any guarantee that what you watch will be worth the blaring accusations of the murderous morning sun. Of course, there are other issues when it comes to choosing your latest binge. You might hear about a show from friends or coworkers that's a must-watch, but you don't have that particular streaming service. So you have to find room in your budget for yet another subscription. What if I told you one of the most compelling streaming shows is absolutely 100% free? I know, I know. Lies. Straight-up lies. Nothing is ever free. Even things that seem free have a sneaky paywall waiting to jump out at you like a razor-toothed Demigorgon.

The Little Mermaid
Now I am someone who has constantly been disappointed by Disney’s live action remakes. Cinderella was magical, Beauty and the Beast was mediocre at best, the Lion King was simply terrible and here comes the Little Mermaid. My favorite Disney princess movie as a child. I used to make my family call me Ariel, I wouldn’t respond to my name. I was fully convinced that I was going to be a Mermaid when I grew up. The minute the trailer was released I started crying. I’ve been a blubbering mess at every trailer I’ve seen and I truly couldn’t wait for this movie.

The 10 Worst Inmates From 'Orange is the New Black'
Orange is the New Black remains to be one of the most popular series in Netflix history despite being over since 2019. The prison comedy/drama series based off real-life ex-inmate, Piper Kerman, lasted on the streaming service for 7 seasons. Among those seasons we witnessed love, murder, riots, fights, betrayal, sex, and lots and lots of drama. You can't have all of those things without some characters you loved to hate, can you?

Gilmore Girls
One of the most popular shows ever is irrefutably a character driven story, that said I think one of the best ways to study character driven stories is by studying their relationships. Now before we dive in I am going to point out now that I will also be giving my opinion on the things that happen in the show, some of the content did not age well and I will not pretend it did. Nothing is exempt from criticism and acting like the thing you like is beyond analysis is dense and useless so as an avid fan of the show I will be criticizing it and it's characters. Also since this show centers around the characters' relationships, I will be talking about each relationship as a whole as the season progresses which means we will keep bouncing back and forth throughout the season.

SUPERWhoLock
Well as we continue with our SuperWhoLock series we get 1 more season into Supernatural. Now at this point we are really still just getting into the show. It had found its sea legs by this point but we were still very much at the beginning and we are about to get into the first real storylines and character work that Supernatural had so far. So here we go with season 2.

SuperWHOLock
Now in the first article I wrote about this re-watch I showed a personal attachment to certain episodes, but this season is so much harder because the dynamic between Tennant and Piper and their chemistry is so so beautiful to watch that I simply love and adore every single episode of them together.

SuperWhoLock
We have got to talk about how these three shows actually interrelate. We have now discussed all of their first seasons individually but in order to discuss the internet fascination that is SuperWhoLock we must discuss what ties these shows together. I think we have 4 main threads that connect these seemingly different TV shows.

SuperWhoLOCK
The third piece of this SuperwhoLock puzzle is the 2010 BBC adaptation of Sherlock Holmes starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. First of all I'd like to say how dare Netflix for not having this available to stream anymore and how dare the universe for not telling me that in order to do this rewatch I’d have to buy it…utter bullshit. Anyway as I rewatch Sherlock I have to both appreciate and curse the formatting, hour and a half episodes are great, only having three of them however sucks ass. Even if you broke that into normal episode length that only gives you between 5 and 6 episodes…god dammit BBC.

Lost
Lost remains one of television's most groundbreaking shows and as such in preparation to write my own I started studying the season series bible. Now we can all talk about how bad the show ended and we will as part of me picking up this show as a project is to determine the exact moment it went downhill. Now I have my current theory and the timeline somewhat lines up but let's get into it.
