Castlevania S2E4-6, “Broken Mast” & “Last Spell” & “The River”
Today, I'm covering Castlevania season 2 episodes 4-6, and Carmilla is just such a queen. Pity her plan got upstaged by Sypha's spell. I assume we're going to have some degree of Dracula v. Belmont/Sypha/Alucard confrontation in the next two episodes, though, so I very much wonder how that's…

Castlevania S2E1-3, “War Council” & “Old Homes” & “Shadow Battles”
Today, I'm covering Castlevania season 2 episodes 1-3, and this was such a promising season opening. Brace yourselves, my friends, because I plan to gush over Carmilla and to read for you all at least one very, very gay passage from Le Fanu's original work. Find me on Patreon to access bonus...

Castlevania S1E3&4, “Labyrinth” & “Monument”
Today, I'm covering the second half of Castlevania season one, and while I'm not particularly surprised by anything that happened in these episodes, I am very much enjoying them. I am so happy that I get to watch a good vampire show after being so disappointed by Vampire Knight. Alucard has been…

Today I'm covering the final four episodes of Vampire Knight: Guilty, and I am honestly just so happy to be done. The ending of the show is 100% completely my nightmare outcome, and I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty pissed off. This story made me want to go be a hermit alone in the woods somewhere....
-
Umbrella Academy S3E8&E9, "Wedding at the End of the World" & "Seven Bells"
Today I'm covering episodes eight and nine of Umbrella Academy season three, and now, at last, we know why “He got seven.” I'm a bit more optimistic now that the season overall will be worthwhile, but I suppose we'll have to see how the finale goes... Find me on Patreon to access bonus content,...

Today I'm covering episodes seven through nine of Vampire Knight: Guilty, aka Vampire Knight season two, and oh boy has this season been a slog! So here I go with what I know already are straight-up fighting words: Vampire Knight is just Japanese Twilight. They're the same story. Lame toxic...

Today I'm covering episodes four through six of Vampire Knight: Guilty, aka Vampire Knight season two, and we finally meet our "real" villain... as if Kaname isn't already clearly a villain. Maybe he's not the villain... but I find even that concept pretty suspect, tbh. Honestly, I think we're…
more -
Umbrella Academy S3E6, "Marigold"
Today I'm covering episode six of Umbrella Academy season three, and Harlan's just already dead I guess? I... am worried this season is falling apart before my eyes, honestly. Is the writing worse than usual, or am I just losing it? Maybe the Hotel Oblivion stuff is gonna be fun, though? It's…

Umbrella Academy S3E5, "Kindest Cut"

Today I'm covering the final four episodes of Vampire Knight season one, and this... was pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Aido continues to be my favorite and Kaname, Yuki, and Zero all continue to suck for various reasons, but Shizuka and Ichiru are kind of fun? Ichiru, being the one...
-
Umbrella Academy S3E4, "Kugelblitz"
Today I'm covering episode four of Umbrella Academy season three, and I am not fooled for a heartbeat by Klaus's death. I'm not sure I'm supposed to be... but I'm not. Boy's gonna be back by the next episode, you mark my words. Find me on Patreon to access bonus content, including polls…

-
Stranger Things S4E5, "The Nina Project"
Today I'm covering the fifth episode of Stranger Things season four, and oh boy is this going to be triggering if you, like El and I, have ever had to return to an abusive parental/paternal figure that you thought you'd definitively escaped from. I genuinely nearly cried watching this one. And…

Today I'm covering episode two of Umbrella Academy season three, and I am so happy that Viktor's gotten his moment this early in the season. I don't adore the coming out and as I am infinitely nitpicky, I can definitely pinpoint the change I wish the show would've made... but all in all, it's…
more -
Stranger Things S4E4, "Dear Billy"
Today I'm covering the fourth episode of Stranger Things season four, and you've gotta know it before I even say it: Max's escape from Vecna is one of my absolute favorite scenes across all of film and television. I was so touched and so impressed; it's like the Duffer brothers reached through…

-
Umbrella Academy S3E1, "Meet the Family"
Today I'm covering Umbrella Academy season three episode one, and we're one Sparrow down already. I all but guarantee the rest are going out this season too, and mark my words: if any of them are going to survive, it's going to be Ben and/or Sloane and/or maybe Christopher the potentially...

Marianne S1E1&E2, "Your Dreams/Tu les rêves" & "Tradition/C'est coutume!"
