Kids Stuff
I didn't have much of a childhood growing up. I wanted to have fun and play video games. I wanted to go hang out with my friends on the weekends. I would have loved to join the basketball team, just to get away from my parents. Nothing happened. I didn't get that kind of childhood. I worked, and worked hard. All weekend, and every morning before the sun came up. No, I didn't grow up with TV even though I was born in the 90's. It wasn't much fun. The point is that because I didn't have a childhood, I have spent the last ten years being a kid. (A kid with a full time job that is.)

Neon Genesis Evangelion
I remember the time, when I was in the middle of my teens, which was about 15 years ago. The world would get to real sometimes, too physical in my case and I wanted to be a hero, a hero in my father's eyes and others, who were dear to me. It was my phantasy, my escape, my dream. It was that time when I saw those characters in splendid costumes, teenage boys and girls, fighting with fiery eyes full of vigilant piercing determination to destroy everything that lies in their way, mainly giant monsters, called angels, but never got an opportunity to watch it. About ten days ago, thanks to my friend's advice I finally did see it. If there are robots, a dystopian world, beautiful girls, guys, school uniforms, the concept of which I could relate to still, even remember how much I hated to iron that uniform much less wearing it just because of someone's rules.

Who?
The buzzing of the engines. The flashing of the blue box coming into view. Two travelers popping their heads out of the door, taking in their new scenery. Many episodes of Doctor Who start just like this. It wouldn't matter if they all did, I can't get enough. That engine buzz calls out to me and makes me long to hear it out my window. Would I go? If the Doctor stood outside my door and beckoned me to come, would I be brave enough? Duh... I would go in a heartbeat. Kiss my life as I know it goodbye and see the Universe. Perhaps I'd sip a little tea with Jane Austen. I would definitely visit the public baths in Rome. I'd probably even go back to the beginning. See where it all started.I mean we are talking space AND time. The options are limitless.

My Dark Binging
Disney Shows. There, I said it. The only person who knows this deepest of dark secrets about me is my husband. I can tell he just pretends it’s not happening for his own sanity. He has his games, I have my cheesy Disney shows (insert a stuck out tongue here).

OH MY ... What a B***H!
‘Binging ain’t easy’, ermm.. yes, it is. In fact, it’s very easy! I couldn’t think of anything more chill than watching back-to-back episodes (or *guilty of* seasons) of hit shows such as Star Wars - The Mandalorian or Vikings, Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, the epic storytelling telling matched with quality, Hollywood worthy CGI, make up and costume/stage developments.

Forever Sisters
Today is the day! I have my popcorn, my chips, and candy. Oh yeah, my ginger ale. Laying down in this bed eating is going to put some serious gas on my chest. I turn my television on waiting and ready. I look at my candles on the table allowing me the peace and serenity I need to binge-watch my sisters on their journey. I'm the missing piece. I'm the only one that can make sure they make it to the end.

Babylon 5 is On Again
“Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night.” Would you watch a show for its storyline and setting, even if many of the actors periodically gave lackluster performances? What if the graphics had quickly aged and now look like a cartoony video game? And how would you feel if the character designs were vastly different in quality, with incredible makeup for some and what appears to be a whirlwind trip through a chintzy wig shop for others?

ATLA-The Boy in the Iceberg and The Girl in Quarantine
I was 13 when Avatar: The Last Airbender became the relatable bridge from Pokemon and Sailor Moon into what would later be a full-fledged anime phase in high school. I told myself I was done with cartoons because I was advancing quickly into adulthood yet had no other metric to prove this to my non-existent friends. However, in June of the same year, my mother and I decided to move to Los Angeles from Nashville, Tennessee. Needless to say, it was quite the culture shock, so I retreated into a saving grace to be blessed with a narrative rife with complex, stimulating themes that were more than simple set-ups of kids trying to get a jawbreaker (sorry, Ed, Edd, and Eddy) with elegant animation.
