Mostly Sleepy Hollow & Ichabbie, but also here for All things Sci-Fi Fantasy TV & Movies. Bones, The Flash, The 100, Under the Dome, Walking Dead, Agents of Shield, Reign, Stargate, Gaurdians of the Galaxy, Once Upon a Time, Avatar, Star Wars, Star...
I am so going to hell for this, but I... couldn’t resist. I actually haven’t watched Watchman yet (I want to, but I recently bought a mobile home that is a bit of a fixer-upper and money is a little tight right now,) but I did see a clip of THAT SCENE. And of course, my mind hasn’t exactly left the gutter since the early 90’s so... yeah. This happened. *facepalm*
On the bright side, though, at least Icky found something other than John Adams to be on Halloween. ;)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! 🎃👻💀👽
Now please, someone go eat a full-size snickers so my milk-allergic self can live vicariously through you, okay? 😉

This was not where she thought her life would end up, but here she was. She was once happily married, or so she thought. The fire had gone out and the passion… god she missed the passion. Life was just mundane now, she had been content, thinking it was just a season, but when her husband, Danny, began his online affair, her world was rocked to its core.
“I’m Abbie,” Theo says without hesitation. She’s used this fake name before. It’s only going to be one night. The men don’t get to know her. Not really.
Theo’s journey to finding true love, acceptance, understanding, and letting her husband be free to have the love he truly desires.

Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid.
r.i.p. to all the characters that were ruined by white male writers who think shock value is more important than a story making sense. i’m so so so sorry they failed you.
Nicole Beharie: ‘Every episode of Black Mirror I’m like, please don’t let this happen’
The star of new Black Mirror drama Striking Vipers talks about social media, Charlie Brooker and Brazil. -
Hi, Nicole! What can you tell us about your episode of Black Mirror, Striking Vipers?
That’s what’s so tricky! I don’t think I can tell you anything. What the heck are we going to talk about? I play the wife of Anthony Mackie. The episode is largely about navigating coupledom, and how technology might hinder a relationship in the Black Mirror world.
Is filming an episode of Black Mirror as surprising as watching one?
It was honestly the most fun I’ve had. We shot it in São Paulo in Brazil, which was amazing. It definitely didn’t feel like any other experience I’ve had before.
How did you get involved? Or when Charlie Brooker comes a-calling, do you just say yes?
Are you serious? Black Mirror is literally one of my favourite television shows on the planet. I look forward to it. I’m disappointed when it’s over. I binge it. I was just honoured to be asked.
Do you Americans think all us Brits are as utterly bonkers as Charlie Brooker?
We only had a big conference call between the table reads, so I still haven’t met Charlie face-to-face. My mother is Jamaican and I grew up in east London so I have a ton of family in the UK. So I know for a fact that you are all just as crazy!
What one Black Mirror-style thing do you hope comes true/definitely doesn’t come true?
Oh my goodness. There’s so many things I really hope don’t happen. Every episode I’m like, “Holy shit, please don’t let this happen”. In Nosedive, where everyone is being rated and you lose your housing and your job because you’re unpopular … I feel we’re moving in that direction and it’s extremely scary. I like the idea of having a timer for dating, like in Hang the DJ, where every time you meet someone, you find out how long that relationship is actually going to last. I kind of like that.
What would happen in a Sleepy Hollow/Black Mirror crossover?
Sleepy Hollow had so many storylines, I’ve really no idea what would happen if you added technology. The fans from both worlds are super smart and super loyal. It would be great to have something super-juicy, scary and mind bending to share with the fans.
You’re only 5ft 2in. How do you reach the top shelf in the supermarket?
I would say 5ft 3in on a good day! How do I reach the top shelf? I’m going to beat you up when and if I see you! You know, there’s some jumping, and some leaning and some climbing. Sometimes I require a little bit of assistance. I don’t pick a lot of things off the top to be honest.
