This week, in honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re highlighting our favorite romantic pairings from TV shows. These can come from any show, past or present, and we’ve limited ourselves to canon ‘ships, which means that while we all have a few pairs we desperately wish would’ve gotten together during the course of their respective shows, we’re only […]

Five by Friday: Top Five Instrumental TV Themes
We’re all music junkies here at Avenging Force, so much so that when we started discussing our “Top TV Themes,” it became very clear that first, we would need to barter (more on that below, from Lauren), and second, that we would have to split them up by instrumental themes and themes that have vocals. […]
Five by Friday: Most Painful TV Deaths
This Is Us has been telling us from the beginning of the first season that Pearson family patriarch, and all-around GOAT Dad, Jack Pearson, died sometime before he got to watch his kids grow into adults, but they’ve been withholding the exact circumstances surrounding his death… until now. This Sunday, after the Super Bowl, the earnest […]

Happy Veterans Day! Today is a day that we honor those men and women who have joined the military and chosen to commit their life to serving their nation.

Five by Friday: Top Five TV Pilots
Welcome to Five by Friday! It’s the beginning of fall, which can only mean one thing: NEW TELEVISION SHOWS. (Were you expecting us to say pumpkin spice everything? Candy corn?

Five TV Characters Who Seem To Be On the Wrong Show
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 […]

Five by Friday: Top Five OTPS
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 […]
To The Death – No, To The Pain
Disclaimer: This post is overflowing with spoilers for Harry Potter, Arrow, Star Wars EU, The West Wing, Firefly, The Hunger Games, and Battlestar Galactica. Proceed at your own risk. Death is a part of life. Everyone who lives, has to eventually die. Which, when you think about it, really kind of sucks. Sure, it makes […]
See You in the Drift
Here at Avenging Force we’re getting pretty tired of the same-old, same-old. ‘Shipper wars and “Team [Couple]!” cries are getting pretty played out, and we’re well past tired of great stories and characters getting watered down to who they might kiss at the end of the story. We’re here for great friendships–good, solid, thought-out friendships, […]
