Dark Willow has a forever home within my heart. And yes...this is another post about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Although I can't really pinpoint a specific episode to share with you. Willow's decent into darkness occurred over the course of the show. It is one of the best, well done story arch's that I have seen. With that being said, I'm just going to share her story with you. First I have to start by telling you that Willow is the sweetest, most adorable soft spoken little wallflower. I mean...she once described evisceration as taking the white part out of an Oreo cookie. And her clothes reflect her personality- fluffy sweaters, cute T-shirts, tights with sneakers etc. Willow becomes interested in magic early in the show. But it's not until season 2 that she really attempts to work some serious spells. Her intelligence and precision make her well suited to practice magic. Although she has something more within her, a hidden power that she slowly discov...

Here's the thing about Supernatural...it is the longest running Science Fiction show on the air. And it's still going. It's currently on its 14th season.  I need to pause here for a minute to simply state a few things for the record. And it's just my opinion. A show that runs for 14 seasons will inevitably suffer in its quality. To maintain momentum for that long is extremely difficult. There are very few shows that are able to end on a high note, while peaking in its quality of storytelling and character development. For example: Breaking Bad. I also feel like Buffy the Vampire Slayer accomplished this. ( Don't mention Lost in my presence. Ever .) Supernatural should have ended a long time ago. The writing has gone downhill, the storylines are tired and recycled, and the character development is scant. The show also has a nasty habit of killing off any new good characters that would bring a much needed dynamic to the world. It's filled with missed ...

With Halloween right around the corner what better time to introduce you to my favorite monsters. My hope is to write two posts a week until Halloween, outlining the amazing beasties that have nestled their way into my heart. They will be from books, movies, and TV. Without further ado, I want to share with you one of my all time favorite Buffy the Vampire episodes, featuring a ghost that I love with all my monster loving heart. <3 The episode is called: I only have eyes for you . Season 2, episode 19. It aired on 04/28/1998. Written by Marti Nixon, and directed by James Whitmore Jr. I have to give these two individuals an extreme amount of credit. The episode was beautifully done- masterfully written and directed. Story telling at its finest.  Before I dive into this episode, I need to give you a little backstory so that you can understand why it is such a powerful story.  Buffy- the chosen slayer - has fallen in love with a vampire, Angel. Also known as Ang...
