#SaveZoeysPlaylist if Only for This Writer's Sake
Headline “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Cancelled After 2 Seasons at NBC” My heart broke reading this headline. Not because I am an obsessed fan of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, I am a huge fan but that’s not why I was heartbroken. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist represented an aspect of my life. You see, in the hardscrabble world of independent non-fiction writing, blogging, reporting and podcasting, there is a self created pressure to only do things you can monetize.

Avatar the Last Airbender: The Best fictional World building
When talking about movies, T.V. shows and pretty much any story based medium, world building is the general term for explaining what exists in that story outside of the story itself. Some stories don't need much world building, some need a lot, But very few are as good and expansive as the universe of Avatar the Last Airbender. An example of anther of these massive universe building ficional works Star Wars. In 1977 there was no Sci-Fi movie on the scale of star wars except maybe 2001 A Space Odyssey, which was still grounded in the idea that it was the future of our own world. In the opening title crawl of A New Hope, it is established that this is an entirely different galaxy with different species, planets and political structure than our own. In the Star Wars galaxy there are eleven movies, and a handful of T.V. Shows. Also in the Star Wars universe there is what is called the “Legends” a non-canon collection of stories. These Stories made by star wars fans expands over twenty thousand years of Star Wars history. The expansiveness of the galaxy that was created in just a few movies, and shows is phenomenal since all of the history in legends goes off of the canon in the shows and movies. Making a good world in a fictional story is not always necessary, some stories only work because they are small and fit in our own world. Some movies have a base in our own world but with a few major changes, typically Sci-Fi Movies will use our own world and change it like Blade Runner and 2001. Depending on what changes on our own world qualifies as world building. Phenomenal world building is when a world allows for almost endless movies and T.V. shows to be able to be made out of the world that has been created. There are several fictional worlds that exist that could be considered the best and most expansive, but in my mind, nothing can beat the simplistic but deep world of Avatar the Last Airbender.

Villainess Review: Dr. Sepi Chamanara (Elementary)
I've been a diehard fan of the CBS series, Elementary, since the beginning; having watched all seven seasons religiously. I really loved the modern take on Sherlock Holmes, and it has immensely pleased me as a fan of villainesses. Season Six, IMO, had some of the best female baddies, with one example being shown in the season's 17th episode, "The Worms Crawl In, The Worms Crawl Out."

My Review of "The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Season One)
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Season One) is something that I least expected to see. There have been a lot of Mighty Duck off shoots like 3 movies, a cartoon TV series and even an NHL hockey team. The thing is that the franchise hasn't been used for quite some time. It's been that long that I almost forgot about the franchise until this showed up.

Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney, HBO Max, Peacock. What's Your Bingewatching Pleasure?
In Midwestern Illinois today the temperature reached a balmy 48 degrees with windchills causing it to feel more like a 31-degree morning in December. Drafts from recently opened windows prevailed, the force of mother nature winning the day. Like the beginning of a lockdown half of the people went back inside to hide out, not from fear of germs but to avoid cold and chilling temperatures. So, what was our binge-watching guilty pleasure? What did you watch today.
