First of all this week, this. It is my most favorite thing in the WORLD when this happens. “The following…by the Following.” YES. Someone made an announcer say this. And yes, I was watching The Mindy Project. I like it. It’s funny. I’m thanking the grad school gods (They exist, they’re just sadistic and spiteful,…
Baddie – Nit-picky movie reviewer Lesson – Neat reboots can exist! Well, this is it. This is Evil Dead week. (Contains SPOILERS, proceed with caution) Alright. This is a big deal movie, so I’m going to try and do this review justice. First and foremost, I felt this was a successful reboot. It was scary and…
Sorry for the lateness of the post this week – again, grad school. It’s a hell of a thing. Well, this week they’re doing that neat thing where they flip society on its head. Now it’s Claire that has to earn the trust with Joe? Funny how the upper hand can influence things. Molly cares…

Bigggggg news this week, huh kids? Joe, escaping from prison. Whoa. Also, sad for the lawyer. Sucks to suck. Joe spends a lot of time strategizing. Nine whole years, as he points out in some monologging with Hardy. He’s built an entire web of Followers, and he’s not really met all of them yet. He orchestrated, somehow,…
