You Decide Your Own Level of Involvement

Fear the Walking Dead Drowning in Flame, Burning in Water 3.05 Looks like I have a new book to read based on the title of this episode.  Not!Twin from The Following gives a book to Alicia titled Drowning in Flame, Burning in Water.  It's apparently a collection of poems and Alicia turns it down with the mindset that food and water are all that matters now, not poetry. I get what she's saying but as someone who loves literature and has a fear of being without access to whatever form of media you can even if it's just a book hearing her say that makes me dismiss Alicia. Ok yes, food and water are important but the loss of knowledge is important too. Madison goes off with Not!Kol and confidently claims that he won't hurt her. Nick accepts that she says this without questioning her further. You almost ripped his eye out with a spoon. Why WOULDN'T he hurt you? Is the bigger question. Madison and Army Co. get robbed by a Native American which gives me...

I TRIED to write a post on American Gods but I couldn't.  That episode was extremely dull. "The world don't operate on right." Essie McGowan. Desmond Barnes tells a tale we don't see too often. The story of what it was like for indentured servitude.  I can't think of anyone who didn't have it bad in the history of the world at one point or another. This episode reminds me of the power of unity.  It wasn't until the British, Irish, Italians ect all banned together as "white" that they stopped fighting against one another and all banned together as one. During the Jim Crow era, legalized racism that lasted for 100 years (generations) black against white. And we're still fighting each other.  This episode was so boring I really don't have any thoughts on it.  So let's just move on to The Originals. Even Black Girl Nerds gave a super short post about the episode. Next week is the season finale. If we take...

First things first... Michael Kelly is a fool for this and I love it.  Obviously, if you haven't seen season five and you don't want spoiler's - don't watch it. "It's My Turn." I know why Claire didn't do what Francis wanted. She's BEEN doing what he wanted for a long time.  It's her turn.  He wasn't going to give it to her, like most things for women, she has to take it. Francis was smug all season, she's going to do this and she's going to do that.  He was even smug when she was sworn in.  "She deserves this." It never dawned on him that she may do this, she's wanted to be president since day one.  He should have realized it when she killed Tom.  Did Francis think that she killed Tom to protect him? This whole season was just an elongated mantrum. Five Times House of Card's Characters Threw A Mantrum During Season 5 1.  Conway When Conway was having a tantrum on the plane because the ...
