Posted on November 13, 2011 by Erica

And the last of my True Blood reviews for Season 4 that I did pre-GeekGirlCon. For some reason, I thought this season had more episodes than 12. Huh. Marnie apparently hates kisses from Jesus. How sad it that? Also doesn’t … Continue reading →

Lost Girl 2×02 “I Fought the Fae (and the Fae Won)” TV Review

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Erica
