'RuPaul's Drag Race' S11 Week Five Power Rankings
This week just solidifies for me that we will have to suffer for the next few weeks of meaningless eliminations to really thin out the herd, before the competition becomes stiff. After last week, I thought that maybe some queens would be able to prove themselves as legitimate threats, by stepping out of their comfort zones, and while some of them very clearly did (Nina, Scarlet, and Ra'Jah), Ru chose to highlight the same queens that have been given high placements frequently. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as Yvie, Brooke, and Plastique are all fan favorites with plenty of potential to go far, but it does cause many queens to continue to fade into the background. I had hope that this week could really even out the playing field a little bit, but instead, it reaffirmed the queens who are going to be here long-term, which may work out well in the end, when we get into Top five to seven territory and only the very best are left.

Name That Theme Tune
With the explosion of streaming services, media, and bingeable or downloadable content shows that are watched by the masses are rare. The like of Games of Thrones or Walking Dead—both which I do not watch—are not as common as they were in the seventies, eighties and into the nineties.

A Review of 'Secret City' Season 2 Episode 6 - "Two Cheers for Democracy"
The season closer begins with a big question—will Harriet (Anna Torv) find the USB stick and reveal the full extent of illegal drone strike program? The whitewashed version as it stands is that Pakistan hacked the drone. The fuming PM (Don Hany) has no choice but to expel the Pakistani ambassador (Dalip Sondhi) and surely he must explode in a frenzy of recriminations soon. In the meantime, he is watching Eisenhower speeches on youtube and getting psyched up. He now knows he is being stitched up by the unholy trinity of the Minister of Defence (Joel Tobeck), the US ambassador (Christopher Kirby) and Trebuchet the drone supplier, as represented by the mystery man (Michael Denkha).

Is Heartbreak Around the Corner for #Olicity Fans?
Felicity Smoak has been a fan favorite since she debuted in the first season of Season 1 of Arrow as the IT specialist with a knack for saying the wrong things. Though not intended to be a series regular, Emily Bett Rickards, the actress who portrays the witty wifi goddess, brought such a spark to the character that she was written into the series.

The Origin of the Saiyans
Akira Toriyama has brought us a seemingly endless universe with the Dragon Ball franchise, filled with strange people, planets, and powers. There are dragons and Spheres of Destruction and even cute little love stories. There are wild roars from angry characters and colorfully animated ki blasts that make watching the show a possible problem for the health of your eyes as a whole.

'La Doña' - A Review
A lot of people think of telenovelas as Latin American soap operas. Where soap operas and telenovelas have a commonality is they are both long-form storytelling. They both tend to have exaggerated and extraordinary storylines and both tend to have an ensemble cast. The biggest difference between a soap opera and a telenovela is that telenovelas have an ending. Which is why I like them.

'Survivor: Edge of Extinction' Episode 6
Wow! What a great episode of Survivor tonight! So, first off, good move getting Wendy out. Easy, simple. Then, the beginning of this episode. The tribes merged into one. Then, the survivors from the Edge of Extinction arrived, shocking everyone. The pre-merge boots all competed for a chance to get back in the game. Chris & Keith even earned advantages. Unfortunately for Chris, Keith used his advantage of giving an disadvantage against him. So, Chris had an advantage and a disadvantage. And while it seemed like a close fight for the six, it went down to Wendy, Rick & Chris with the other three fighting but failing. And while Wendy & Chris were close, they failed and Rick Devens re-entered the game and joined the merge tribe.

Why I’m Rooting for Cersei
When I first started getting into Game of Thrones, I loved Daenerys and hated Cersei. Years later, the table flipped: Cersei is now my favourite, character and I don’t like Daenerys so much anymore. Whilst I haven’t seen every episode of Game of Thrones or read all the books (still trying to get through them when I have time and they’re all so long), I feel that Game of Thrones has some very strong female characters. If the Stark sisters get killed off, then I will give up on the series. Would I say the same about Cersei? No, because I think fans are already expecting Cersei to get what’s coming to her at the season finale. I’ve seen a lot of fan theories that already predict that Cersei will get killed and die in Jamie’s arms or fall at the hands of Daenerys.
