Not the Ending I Expected
Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. How could something so cute and adorable be a damn evil? I am in shock to find out at the last episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that the character named Cozy Glow (a young pegasi filly that is based off of the legendary child actress Sherley Temple, you could see it with the hair and facial expressions) is a villain I didn’t want to believe it at first when the character introduced the first time in season eight, episode 12 “Marks for Effort” when the Cutie Mark Crusaders help Cozy glow with her friendship homework. I saw in Cozy Glow had Twilight's cutie mark in her eyes, but I ignored it. Then I notice she was appearing way too lovely and always looking to be sticking her damn nose where it didn’t belong to mention she is pushy with the other creature characters telling them that no matter what they do every pony will see them as a creature to fear. I didn’t understand why she thought friendship was the power that she needed to have to dominate all of Equestria.

Reasons Why Ross and Emily Were Never Meant to Be
There were so many signs coming up that Ross and Emily were never meant to be. Their relationship was moving too fast. It happened so fast that even Ross' friends thought it was too fast. When he talks to Joey and Chandler, he comes up with this crazy idea for them to move into together and Chandler claims he's had a relationship with a milk carton that lasted longer. That was an obvious giveaway if you have something molding away in your fridge longer than your relationship has even existed, then slow down!Ross was not ready. When he asked Emily to move in and she says it would be different if we were getting married. Ross just drops down and proposes right then and there without any planning and without a real wedding ring. This is was a spur of the moment thinking and it was not something they both talked about extensively.Emily was clearly still in love with Colin. Colin and Emily got married not too long after Ross' divorce, which probably meant she was not fully committed to Ross in the first place.Emily not liking Rachel. If someone told me that I had to get rid of one of the people closest to me, they would be out the door and my life so fast. Ross, however, seriously contemplates cutting Rachel out of his life. That did not make it fair for Rachel nor Ross.Ross not thinking. He did not think to go away to Vermont with a person he just met. He did not think when he proposed. He did not think when he wanted to impress her with rugby. Some people may think that's because he was in love, but he was more in love with the idea of her.Parents. During the wedding weekend, the parents of Monica and Ross did not want to pay to refurbish the Waltham's house. They had an argument before the wedding even happened. They had only met each other once before the wedding.Waltham's did not see eye to eye with the Geller's on the wedding set-up. Waltham's did not see this as a wedding as much as an opportunity to redecorate and refurbish their house. They were charging Jack for carpeting and other unnecessary things. The two families did not fit together.Ross was blindly getting rid of all of his stuff just for her and even his friends thought he was compromising too much to make a marriage work. They all saw he was clearly miserable with her.Ross saying Rachel's name. He clearly always wanted to have Rachel up there and Emily clearly knew that he always wanted Rachel even though she went through with the marriage and the wedding. Ross had reassured her time and time again. They are just friends.The food. Emily was complaining that the food was not right and that nobody understood what it meant for her to have a wedding of her dreams.The venue. The church was torn down early. That must have been the clearest sign that there ever was. If the church is being torn down, it's for the reason that the wedding was not meant to happen.The wedding nearly got called off when Ross explained to her that postponing the wedding was not an option, and if he had not talked to Monica, their wedding would have never happened.Where was Ben for Ross's big day? I get maybe he would just be in the way of the plot, but still.Ross saw Emily in her wedding dress before the wedding. Big no-no unless if you are doing that first look thing.Ross asked Carol and Susan to change their entire lives to make it work with Emily. Clearly, this was a relationship never meant to be.Monica tried on Emily's dress. Isn't there some kind of bad luck with that too for someone else to wear your wedding dress before you get married?Everything seemed broken from the start.

10 Kids' Cartoons That Were Way Too Adult
Ever since the birth of Saturday morning cartoons, animated content became perennially tied to the magic of childhood. Just about everyone who grew up in an American household has memories of at least one cherished show they watched religiously growing up.

Why Do Characters Not Stay Dead on TV Shows Anymore?
Characters miraculously coming back to life has been a staple plotline of soap operas for years, yet in modern television it seems that this archetype is starting to be used more and more. Even shows as popular as Game of Thrones have had problems permanently writing out characters, and I just simply cannot understand why. I would like to examine what exactly causes television writers to bring back characters that they have already killed off, and I hope I can shed some light on what I feel is an issue that plagues our television screens everyday.

Audience Expectation vs. Creative Vision: The Finale of 'How I Met Your Mother'
Making a finale for a TV show can be an excruciatingly difficult task. Leaving aside the fact that its obviously emotional seeing the characters that audiences have grown close to and who have impacted the lives of so many people finally bid goodbye, there's the issue of ensuring that they end up with satisfying conclusions to their individual arcs. If the finale treats them differently or introduces new facets of a characters' personality, audiences are bound to feel a disconnect, as it would feel like the person they've come to know and love has been replaced by someone else entirely. However, if the creator of the character has a certain end goal in mind, then inevitably, there is going to be a situation where that character conforms with the creative vision of his/her creator, no matter what his/her individual character arc may be.

'Doctor Who': "The Woman Who Fell To Earth" Review
Warning: Potential spoilers for the episode below. It has been the topic of debate and conversation in Doctor Who circles for a year now. The announcement of Jodie Whittaker as the new Doctor sent shockwaves through the fan community not seen since the long-running BBC program returned to screens in 2005. Was it to be the death knell of the program's 21st-century incarnation after a perceived decline during recent years (something this writer will happily dispute) or would it be something to reinvigorate it? With "The Woman Who Fell To Earth," viewers would have the chance to find out.

Best Shows on Netflix
Let's start off strong and let me introduce to you the CW reboot hit Dynasty. This has become one of my favorite shows and I just recently binged all twenty-two episodes of the first season in about three days. This series is so well put together and it never lost my attention, mainly because I love Elizabeth "Liz" Gillies who is a main character and plays Fallon Carrington.
