Ruby Rose Brings Power + Vulnerability to Pilot of ‘Batwoman’
Let me preface this by saying I initially had no intention of watching Batwoman on The CW. While I love superhero movies, and have recently watched a few comic-related series, Batman has been done numerous times and not always well. Michael Keaton has always been my favorite Batman. While I was all for the idea of a female version, I was afraid in the name of feminism something would get lost about the premise behind the superhero.

'Survivor: Island of the Idols' Episode 2
Wow! What an amazing episode of Survivor tonight! First off, thank you to Lairo for voting out Ronnie. That was a great move. Sure, it pissed off Aaron, and Vince wasn't happy about getting votes, but hey, it got Ronnie out and I'm happy about that. Plus, it gives this women's alliance a chance to finally take some control, which I'm excited about. Oh, and there wasn't a Previously On... Survivor type moment, wow, alright, very interesting. As for Aaron, he may be all pissy, but he better at least act like he likes his tribe, otherwise they'll see him as just negativity and take him out anyway. Kind of like how Noura is at Vokai, yelling at the tribe how they don't do any work and hating on Molly, calling her, Jamal, and Jack the King, Queen, and Jack(literally) of the tribe that everyone praises, hoping to get a taste of their greatness. And then Molly spoke with Jamal about getting Noura out, soon after the tribe did yoga together, which most of the tribe didn't really enjoy. Meanwhile, Jason, who knows all out being on the outs, felt he owed Noura, so he spoke with her about how she's also on the outs.

Why Eric Forman Is "a Dumbass"
Recently, I needed a new sitcom in my life. Friends? I have already memorized most episodes and all the lines from the show, so I started binge watching That 70's Show. It is a show about a bunch of teenagers in the 70s and their weird high school adventures. I have not watched an episode since it was last aired on television. After recently starting to rewatch it, I realized Eric Forman is indeed, as Red puts it, "a dumbass." He does so many wrong things in his relationship that it is astounding that Donna had put up with it for so long. In the episode titled "Dine and Dash," Kelso offers to pay for everyone's dinner—at least that's what was understood. However, it was Kelso that offered, and in reality he was planning a dine and dash. The first mistake Eric made was that he trusted Kelso of all people to get the money and come back. Yup. Trusted the wrong guy.

'Survivor: Island of the Idols' Premiere
Wow! I am loving this season of Survivor so far and it just began! This is amazing! I love the cast, I love Boston Rob & Sandra, I love the twists, I love everything about it! This season started out so different, no official "marooning," no sight of Jeff Probst, just Vokai and Lairo both arriving at their beaches and getting started. That is wonderful. From Janet starting the fire to Missy's wonderful story about how she went through the air force, having a brain tumor, and then surviving it, and getting on Survivor. That is just amazing. I also especially love the paranoia as to "What does Island of the Idols mean." That is very fascinating to witness. It put a big target on Jason at Vokai, who right away went to search for the idol. And at Lairo, Elaine, Tom & Vince created their alliance, though, they were gone for so long the other seven kind of figured out what was going on, and decided for them to align with each other. Though, later on, Elaine found this out after showing off her likability and aligning with the other women on her tribe. And also, Ronnie didn't like how likable she was. So, he pretended to align with her, but really was targeting her. Elaine though, she was smart enough to see through it, even if he was using his poker playing skills to convince her. So, there's clearly a rift between Ronnie & Elaine. At Vokai, Noura told Jason about his target since he reminds her of her ex. Also, Dan was being way too touchy for his own good, creeping out all of the women on the tribe, mainly Kellee, who spoke to him about it. So hopefully he's gonna realize that it's pretty creepy to touch and massage girls without consent and he should try and fix his social skills. Jack made some friends and found a squirting clam, so that was extremely entertaining, and Tommy showed off his skills as a fourth grade teacher to bond with people, making alliances with pretty much everyone, including a main six.

Why Did Ash's Bulbasaur Not Evolve in the Mysterious Garden?
The other day I was finishing my cycle of the original Pokemon Indigo league season and I happened to be on the "Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden" episode. Here's a little bit of a rundown on what happened that episode in case you don't remember. It was when Ash's Bulbasaur refused to evolve at their species of Pokemon's traditional ceremony. Rewatching this as an adult, I realized so much of the brilliant writing between the lines went over my head as a kid. I only saw what was presented on the surface, just a Pokemon that was refusing to evolve. When you really think about it though, refusing to change in front of hundreds of your own kind, which has been a generational tradition of your kind, was a brave and defiant act on Ash's Bulbasaur's behalf. What was the reason though? Was it selfish or selfless? Or was he just not ready? I have a theory, and I want to share it. Let's continue down memory lane a bit more shall we?

'Criminal Minds' Most Memorable Season Finales
Season finales are always the most climactic episodes of the seasons. They have the biggest build up, and give the ending a great reaction. Usually, there is great build up to it, and the unsub is one of the best of the season. Some are two-parters, and others are just 45 minutes of pure insanity and great action. Some are amazing, and others are not on the really amazing side of things, to put it lightly. Here is a list of all the season finales, ranked from the least interesting to the best done yet.

10 Reasons to Watch 'Community'
Ten years ago, the sitcom Community premiered on NBC. Chronicling the adventures of a community college study group, the production history of the show involved a showrunner change-up for the fourth season, a cancellation at the end of the fifth season, and a sixth season revival on the short-lived Yahoo! Screen. Despite all this and cast changes, the show made it to six seasons, bringing #SixSeasonsAndAMovie closer to completion. A movie would be very welcome, but for now, people can still watch the entire show. In honor of the tenth anniversary, below are ten reasons to watch (or rewatch) Community.

I Reluctantly Fell in Love with “Legacies!” Plus, New Season Two Trailer
As a devout Vampire Diaries fan, I go into every spinoff series with low expectations. Why? Simply because history has proven sequels never live up to the originals… no pun intended! Besides, I was so smitten with The Vampire Diaries at the time, I wasn’t looking for another show that didn’t feature Damon and Stefan.

Why Raven and Starfire Suck in 'Titans'
I told myself that I wouldn't watch Titans because recently DC has taken many beloved characters and completely butchered them. I didn't want to pay for DC's streaming service and I didn't feel like being disappointed by them again. However, since I currently live in Thailand, Titans is available on Netflix, so I took the plunge.
