Is anyone surprised that Star Wars broke the internet again? The (so-called teaser) trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hit the internet in the wee hours and fans immediately went insane. I’ll admit that prior to seeing the trailer I only had a moderate level of interest in this movie. However, props to the people who cut […]
Hello, hello! It will come as no surprise to you all that we here at Avenging Force have already seen The Force Awakens multiple times. Our first and second viewings were done in the Washington DC area with our friends from Boldly Going Somewhere, and immediately following our first viewing, we all sat around in […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! This week we’re talking about our favorite fantasy and science fiction worlds that we’d actually like to live in. Sure, there are tons of places out there that are exciting to read about, but when it comes down to it you wouldn’t want to set foot anywhere near there. I mean […]
It’s the Wednesday after Dragon Con. The hotel lobbies are empty and quiet, the food courts aren’t running at full speed in order to fuel 70,000 hungry nerds, my friends have all dispersed back to their homes which are scattered all across the country, and I’m not wearing a costume. Dragon Con 2015 is officially over and […]
Avenging Force is a year old today! To celebrate, we’re doing it the best way we know how: in song! Here are a few of our favorite nerdy selections from YouTube. Both of us are big fans of a cappella and as we’re also both classically-trained musicians (the more you know), we appreciate well-played instruments as […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! This week we’re talking about robots, artificial intelligence, androids, cylons… all those man-made creations that come with personalities of their own. Science fiction is full of them, and we’re huge fans. So this week we’re taking a look at our five favorites. Join us in the comments or on your own […]
We’re happy to announce our first appearance on Boldly Going Somewhere! We joined Louis and James for episode 11 of their podcast to discuss the Star Wars Extended Universe (“Legends,” if we must). The Star Wars EU-Logy Special is our first guest spot on Boldly Going Somewhere, and we had such a blast recording it. Pop on over […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! This week’s topic is OTPS! We’ve spent a lot of time discussing some of our favorite non-romantic pairings (drift compatibility, anyone?), but we’ll admit we have huge soft spots for our favorite OTPs. Our top pairings span movies, televisions, and books, but no matter the media they all have one thing in common: solid, trusting […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! This week’s topic is sidekicks! Too often, people focus on the heroes and the villains, but what about the people that help the hero win the day? Whether the hero only has one person to help them out or a whole team of them, we’re focusing on those support systems today. Join […]
I was twelve when I fell in love with the Star Wars Expanded Universe. A few weeks after marathoning the original trilogy for the first time (til then I’d only watched the movies individually) I was wandering a bookstore, perusing the SciFi and Fantasy section for something new when I discovered a tiny little pocket […]
