Welcome to the Sorting Hat! This is part three of our ongoing Game of Thrones sortstravaganza. If you’ve missed earlier installments, you can find part 1 here and part 2 here. While our ranks include fans of both the HBO series and the books by George R.R. Martin, our sort-a-palooza is focusing solely on the […]
With Suicide Squad getting ready to release next month and DC dropping the trailers for both Wonder Woman and Justice League last week at Comic-Con, we (Sarah and Lauren) decided it was finally time to pull the trigger on Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. While in theory we would be all about a new Batman and Superman movie that also introduces Wonder […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! Star Trek: Beyond hits theaters today, and since only 2/3 of us are Trekkies, we wanted to do something that paid tribute to the latest entry in the Trek canon while still allowing all three of us to participate. So instead of listing our favorite Trek characters or episodes, we’ve decided to […]
Welcome to the Sorting Hat! This is part 2 of our Game of Thrones cast sorting, which is proving to be a challenge mostly because of the size of the cast. This week we’ve sorted more of the Great Houses, as well as the men of the Night’s Watch. A reminder for those who may […]

Do you ever find yourself watching a show and thinking to yourself that there’s one character who just doesn’t seem to fit in with the others? Something about them is just fundamentally incompatible with the rest of the show, whether its their personality or their life philosophy or their storyline. That doesn’t mean they’re necessarily […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! Apparently July 8th has been given the designation of Video Games Day, so we’re talking about our favorite video game protagonists. PC or console, you name a game and between the three of us it’s highly likely that at least one of us has played it. We’ve traveled Skyrim, we’ve wandered Thedas, we’ve somersaulted […]
“There’s not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin.” – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Imagine growing up in the Wizarding World with that knowledge hanging over your head.
