The last half of season 5 of Breaking Bad is approaching, a high-octane finale which promises to be what show-runner Vince Gilligan had envisioned from the start. Over the past few years, the brain behind Breaking Bad has done a fantastic job of showing Walter White’s slow descent into hardened criminality, until he is unrecognizable…
I’m going to be honest with you, I really don’t care too much for the ‘good’ guys and gals of Geekdom. You may have noticed that all of the Undistressed Damsels so far have been at best ‘chaotic neutral’ or just plain old ‘evil’. But when it comes to Undistressed Damsels, they’re not all bad,…
This past weekend at Comic-Con, all the buzz was about “The Avengers 2” and the Batman vs. Superman movie announcements.
