Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part I)

February 9, 2009

I have to admit that although I love the show, Supernatural’s depiction of angels is very disturbing. I like the fact it has made me so uncomfortable; it’s making me rethink a lot of things, giving me much food for thought and blog posts. Yay for Supernatural! So for those of you who don’t watch… Read More Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part I)

The addiction that is fear: illogical, unhealthy and yet oh so tasty

February 7, 2009

I have to admit that, after typing the title to this post, I’m a little bit confused; suddenly, I’m craving a nice, big, fat, juicy burger… Which, if you think about it, can also be quite scary, especially when you are 50, overweight and have a heart problem… Ah, yes, the topic at hand: fear.… Read More The addiction that is fear: illogical, unhealthy and yet oh so tasty

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 14, a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 1 (this could get confusing)

February 6, 2009

I have a confession to make: I totally forgot about Volume 4 of Heroes starting this week. . I know – how shocking is that? I thought that maybe it meant that I was over the show, that it wouldn’t suck me right back in – but it did. Everyone together, on Aretha Franklin’s I… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 14, a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 1 (this could get confusing)

Supernaturally inspiring – How the Winchester brothers not only entertain me, but make me think (perhaps a little too much) – part I

January 29, 2009

I don’t know how they do it, but somehow the writers of Supernatural manage to make a show about demons, freaks and monsters a continued source of reflection – at least for me. While most Supernatural episodes make me think of something or another, Season 4’s second episode, “Are you there, God? It’s me, Dean… Read More Supernaturally inspiring – How the Winchester brothers not only entertain me, but make me think (perhaps a little too much) – part I

Some attitude and brand new Supernaturally inspired insight

January 3, 2009

I had an interesting conversation today about choice. Someone (that I don’t know) was talking to their friend (whom I also don’t know) and said something to the extent of people in Africa are all corrupt, and we shouldn’t help them because the corruption that permeates their government is their own fault; they made the… Read More Some attitude and brand new Supernaturally inspired insight

Vegetarian Vampires: Supernatural in itself, or just plain Twilight?

January 2, 2009

My recent bout of Edward-Cullen-Obsession-Obsession has got me yearning for good old school vampire-related entertainment. No, don’t worry, I’m not sleeping in a coffin, wearing a cape or using fake vampire fangs – I’m simply dusting out old books and DVDs. Makes me sound a little boring, does it not? I went through a couple… Read More Vegetarian Vampires: Supernatural in itself, or just plain Twilight?

Murderer!

December 31, 2008

While I doubt books are going to become extinct anytime soon, the industry will most certainly change in the upcoming years. Just like television and Internet have changed the book publishing landscape, so will blogs and digital books. This pains me, because I have always loved books. But it seems to me that, in an… Read More Murderer!

Supernatural, or supernaturally in denial?

December 23, 2008

If arts are a reflection of humanity’s collective soul, then there is something to be said of our obsession with crime shows and shows pitching humans against the forces of evil. It’s almost as if we refuse to accept that there is no such thing as evil, that we are responsible for everything that we… Read More Supernatural, or supernaturally in denial?

Chronicles of a sprained ankle: learning about patience

December 22, 2008

It’s been a tough couple of weeks, and not just because of my recurrent bouts of acute I-miss-the-X-files-initis. Because however great he is, Dean Winchester does not compare to Fox Mulder (sorry, Jensen), and even if demons’ inherent evilness sends chills down my spine (or is it the devilish grins of the Winchester brothers? Sometimes… Read More Chronicles of a sprained ankle: learning about patience
