A Look at the 2005-06 Carolina Hurricanes
After the Tampa Bay Lightning won their first Stanley Cup, hockey fans such as myself ended up going over a year without our favorite sport. I've been a hockey fan since I was a little kid, but to be honest, the moment I loved hockey the most was that 2004-05 season...because there wasn't one. I've experienced lockouts in other sports, but this was different. When hockey was gone, it felt like something was missing. It felt too quiet. It felt like a piece of myself was missing. WWE helped fill that void, but even so, with hockey gone, it was still too quiet for my liking.

Villainess Review: Dana Declan (Fatal Reunion)
I remember this film, Fatal Reunion, very well, and one of the reasons was the film's leading lady, Erika Eleniak. Eleniak had done her share of Lifetime films, and was coming off playing a villainess in one of them. In this film from 2005, Eleniak played Jessica Landers, a woman who wasn't quite satisfied in her marriage to Russell Landers. At the urgency of her friends, Jessica meets up with her former schoolmate, Marcus Declan, but after realizing how much she loved Russell (and vice versa), the meetings come to an end.

Reviewing WWE's Brand New Women's Tag Team Champions
The main event of this week's Monday Night Raw featured the finals of the anticipated WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament, which consisted of eight teams competing for the vacant titles. The tournament started on the August 8 episode of Raw, and originally consisted of the following teams: Iyo Sky & Dakota Kai, Tamina & Dana Brooke, Nikkita Lyons & Zoey Stark, Sonya Deville & Natalya, Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah, Shotzi & Xia Li, Alexa Bliss & Asuka, and Nikki A.S.H. & Doudrop. The tournament lasted three weeks and came to an end this week, and in what is considered a stunning surprise, Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah defeated Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai to capture the vacant titles.

Villainess Review: Lark Embridge (Bodyguard Seduction)
Lifetime was reaching the end of their "Love, Lies, and Seduction" month, and the final weekend began with a huge bang with the Lindsay Hartley-directed film, Bodyguard Seduction (also known as Her Bodyguard). The film centered on Charly Huxton, a successful businesswoman who was the majority owner of Singular Sportswear, and was also coming off a divorce. As we see, Charly doesn't pull any punches, and this is shown when she reprimands one of her employees, Godfrey Lewis, and even when she's conversing with her junior partner, Lark Embridge, who begins to wonder if she has any say in the company she helped build with Charly. Things come to a head when Godfrey is caught on Charly's computer, and as a result, Godfrey gets a pink slip.

CFL Week 12 Recap: Back in the Saddle
When a team hits a rare lull, many wonder how said team will respond. Will they get back on track? Will it serve as just a blip on the radar? Or will the lull continue and turn into a skid? Those were the looming questions that hit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who were coming off their first loss of the season in Week 10, and a bye on Week 11. The first test came on a Thursday evening in Winnipeg, as the Bombers hosted the Calgary Stampeders in a West Division battle. It looked a bit shaky for the Bombers, as they actually trailed at halftime. It was only by one point, but still, it wasn't looking good. However, the Bombers did manage to take the lead late in the fourth, and as a result, they won 31-29 over the Stamps. A shaky return to play, but still, a win is a win.

She-Hulk Review: "Superhuman Law"
A week passed since She-Hulk: Attorney at Law debuted, and I was still beaming over the previous week's premiere. Lo and behind, it's another Thursday, and that means another episode on Disney+! After a brief recap of Episode 1, Episode 2 picked up from the last moment from the premiere, with Jen receiving massive buzz for saving everyone in the courtroom from Titania (who did not appear in this episode, but we will definitely see more of her). The episode's opening scenes feature Jen's strong and green alter-ego receiving the She-Hulk name, which Jen doesn't like. The name would end up being the least of her problems, as Jen was informed that while her heroic efforts were to be commended, they also resulted in losing the case, and she ended up losing her job.

A Look at the 2003-04 Tampa Bay Lightning
I remember the 2003-04 NHL season very vividly; for positive reasons and for a negative reason. The season started a few months after I graduated from high school, and I remember being elated and stunned when Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne joined the Colorado Avalanche. As an Avalanche fan, I was salivating, but unfortunately, the acquisitions didn't help the team get over the hump and get back to that glory that they achieved three seasons prior. The negative reason was a big one, the dreaded "l" word was looming: lockout. There were talks of a lockout coming after that season, but I tried my best not to dwell on that. As I've done for my whole life, I focused on the positives, and one of them was the sudden rise of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Villainess Review: Becky Butler (Only Murders in the Building)
What a sophomore season of Only Murders in the Building! We saw our favorite trio work hard to solve the Arconia's latest murder, the victim being owner Bunny Folger, as well as attempt to clear Mabel of the murder. The season saw the return of Season One's main villainess, Jan Bellows; however, the only thing Jan was guilty of in Season Two was wanting to rekindle her relationship with Charles. Since Jan's return, the trio's plan to trap the killer with a glitter bomb somewhat fizzled, we received an episode centered on Mabel's past (mainly her memories of her late father), and we did get the reveal of "Glitter Guy": detective Daniel Kreps.

A Look at the 1995-96 and 2000-01 Colorado Avalanche
You know, I've been writing stories on Vocal for a little over a year, and it's hard to believe that this is my 500th story. What isn't hard to believe is the subject that #500 would be about. Something near and dear to me as a hockey fan: the Colorado Avalanche's first two Stanley Cups. First, a history lesson. Before playing in Denver, the Avalanche played their first 16 NHL seasons as the Quebec Nordiques, who were actually one of four teams who moved from the World Hockey Association to the NHL (the other three being the Edmonton Oilers, the Hartford Whalers, and the Winnipeg Jets). The Nordiques didn't have a lot of success in the NHL; in fact, they only reached the Conference Finals twice (1982 and 1985). Their only Adams Division championship came in the 1985-86 season, and in their final season in Quebec, the Nordiques would win the renamed Northeast Division, but both division titles resulted in first round exits.

Villainess Review: Myra Edgemont (Medium)
The abbreviated (an affect of the writers' strike) fourth season of Medium featured some hard times for Allison Dubois. Her gifts have now been made public, and it's resulted in not only herself being out of a job, but Manuel Devalos was out as well. The first few episodes of Season Four have seen what Allison has done to deal with the backlash, but it was the episode, "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble," that saw Allison back in the saddle, thanks to an unlikely person.

Villainess Review: Carlene Ballentine (Law & Order: SVU)
On June 26, 2022, the entertainment world was hit with the shocking and heartbreaking news that Mary Mara passed away at the age of 61. I myself figured that the name was quite familiar, and a gut feeling I had told me that she had done an episode of Law & Order: SVU. It was based on seeing that name when I went on the Law & Order Fandom site a few times, and sure enough, when I searched for Mary Mara online, my gut was right. Among many other appearances, Mary Mara did appear on SVU, doing so in the episode, "Pure."
