Somewhere between the hype, the spoilers, the expectations, and the general volatility that seems to surround Cas-centric episodes, the Supernatural fandom had a bit of a breakdown last Tuesday. Nothing major. It wasn’t on the level of the fallout after the season 6 finale or Reading is Fundamental or last year’s Goodbye Stranger. I mean, […]

It may be a while before Sleepy Hollow fully finds its feet, but if its latest episode is any indication then it has the makings of a true classic. I’ll admit that I was a little worried after last week’s episode. After an intriguing premier, I was disappointed that the second episode was trite, predictable, […]

Sometimes I worry that I am too critical of the media I choose to consume. It pains me to notice, for instance, that the second episode of Sleepy Hollow was extremely mediocre in its writing, or that the much-anticipated premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did not come close to living up to its hype. I […]

Supernatural is one of those weird happenstances where a show is made for a mainstream audience, and then inexplicably gains an intense fandom presence. It can be jarring to realize that the fans as a collective put way more thought and effort into analyzing the characters, storylines, and themes than the showrunners do into writing […]

Joss Whedon, once merely the nerdy niche-genre mastermind behind such underappreciated shows as Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, finally found some real mainstream success with his recent helming of The Avengers. But immediately afterwards, as if startled by a project of his making several boatloads of money instead of being summarily cancelled, he did something unexpected. […]

But there is also something about the quality of his […]

Sorry for the lack of updates! The Geekiary writers have all sadly been accosted by the specter of real life. Articles might be sporadic for the next couple of weeks. But I’m going to see Neil Gaiman next week, and several of us will be reporting from San Diego Comic Con next month, so stay […]

After a string of mostly-quiet episodes that felt like nothing but rising action after rising action, we finally got our payoff: The Rains of Castamere was nothing but climax after climax. And while I’m excited for Bran, worried for Jon, elated for Dany, and sorry for Arya, I’m afraid I’m going to have to put […]

Everyone who watches Game of Thrones quickly learns that in order to love this show you have to be comfortable with the female form, if you know what I mean. The women on this show tend to get very naked, very regularly. It can be easy for the casual viewer to overlook. After all, we’ve […]

My boyfriend is always the first to know whether I truly loved an episode of Supernatural. Sometimes he knows it even before I do. Because even though I’m still sorting through my feelings in the wake of an episode, if the overall effect was positive I can’t wait to sit him down and force him […]
