TV Show Review: Without a Trace Season Two

The second season of Without a Trace aired in 2003 and concluded in 2004. This season like the last focused a lot on Jack Malone played by Anthony LaPaglia, but it did a decent job of trying to explore the other characters. With Jack, we got some good story progression with an exploration of his relationship with his father and the struggles he deals with in his marriage. This season there were a couple episodes that gave Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano) and Vivian Johnson (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) the spotlight. We didn’t get that much with Samantha Spade (Poppy Montgomery), which was unfortunate, but Martin Fitzgerald (Eric Close) had some interesting stories that I hope they continue to explore next season.

TV Show Review: Cold Case Season Two

Season two of Cold Case premiered in 2004 and wrapped up in 2005. The second season does a good job of exploring the characters of the Cold Case unit. Lilly Rush and Scotty Valens like the previous season are the ones to get the most development, but this season does a good job of giving us more information about the other characters: Nick Vera, Will Jeffries, and John Stillman. This season also has more of Scotty’s relationship with his girlfriend Elisa and the ending of that relationship. They also introduce Lilly’s estranged younger sister Christina, who Lilly wants nothing to do with, but Scotty gets drawn to.

TV Show Review: Cold Case Season One

Cold Case was a show that I was obsessed with when it was on TV. Forever, I haven’t been able to rewatch it because the music used in the show makes it difficult to put it on DVD or streaming services. Thankfully, I found that the whole series was on Roku and started having myself a rewatch. As I started, I decided that I would do reviews for each episode.
So, under the cut is a small review for each episode, followed by my overall thoughts of the season.

TV Show Review: So Weird Season One

So, when I heard about Disney Plus I was adamant that I wasn’t going to get it because I am paying for enough streaming services and while I wanted to watch all my childhood shows, I refused to budge. That all changed when I found out that they were putting my favorite show of all time on Disney Plus. You see when I was younger, I was obsessed with So Weird and I attribute it to why I’ve loved so many supernatural/paranormal movies, TV Shows, and books as I’ve grown up.
I connected to this show and to Fiona’s character so much that I remember when Disney Channel stopped playing reruns I was devastated because I had no way to watch my favorite show. So, when I heard the whole series was on Disney Plus I caved, paid for the subscription, and started rewatching my favorite show.
As I watched each episode of season one, I decided I would review each episode. So below the cut, you will find a brief reviews for each episode with a star rating, followed by my overall thoughts on the season and a star rating for the season as a whole.

TV Show Review: The Umbrella Academy Season One

Book Review: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was fascinating to learn more about Mindy Kaling‘s life and her career. The Office is one of my brother and I’s favorite shows and Kelly Kapoor is one of my favorite characters. So to dive into Mindy’s world and learn about all she went through before she hit it big with The Office was really enjoyable.

Book Review: The 100 by Kass Morgan

Going into this book after watching four seasons of the TV show, at first, was very difficult. The first couple chapters I just kept comparing the book to the show, but the more I read the more I realized that I had to look at the show and book as completely different things. There are some elements to the show that I like more than the book and vice versa.

Book Review: November 9 by Colleen Hoover

Colleen Hoover is an author that I’ve heard a lot about and I’ve never read one of her books before. November 9 was the book I heard the most about and I decided to finally read the Kindle edition that I had. I really enjoyed this book. The story of Fallon and Ben’s love story was so much fun to read.

Book Review – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed

I really enjoyed Rogue One and thought Alexander Freed did a good job at fleshing out the story and characters even more in this adaptation of the film. I think one of the reasons it took me so long to read this book was because I’ve seen the movie multiple times and since I already knew what was going to happen in the plot, I just wanted everything to progress faster, but since this was a novel that wasn’t the case.
That in no way means that this book is slow paced, it’s just a personal thing with me as a reader. So, I think that plus the “Supplemental Data” sections were what brought this book down for me. It’s still a well executed book that gives you great insight into the minds of these characters and explores their connections even more than they were in the film.
Overall, I did enjoy Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed and I’d give it .
I’d also recommend it to any Star Wars fan or any fan of the Rogue One film.
