CAU: 4 (on a relatively empty stomach) So here I sit at 10:18pm on a Friday night and I am all atwitter!

CAU: 4 Okay, I've got Outlander beef. Dammit, I don't want it, but I've got it. I'm going to preface this by saying that it comes from a place of love for Outlander on Starz, that's how I got to the books. I love Outlander (books and show) enough to fly 1500 miles to go to... Continue Reading →
CAU: 0 So the other night I was thinking about my experience at the Outlander PaleyFest panel I went to in LA on March 12th. I was also drinking.

How has coverage of... Continue Reading →
CAU: 0 Giggity! The fall television season is is picking up steam and I'm loving every minute of it! The folks at FX/Sons of Anarchy are bright, they start up early in the season and get that Tuesday 10pm slot on lockdown. But now we're getting peppered with season and series premieres and I'm getting... Continue Reading →
CAU:4 **SOA SPOILERS ABOUND** Damn if that Shakespeare* couldn't turn a line. I guess Sutter, Collins, and Lang got that when they scripted the most recent episode of Sons of Anarchy, "One One Six." SIDE NOTE, SIDEBAR, TIMEOUT: With this episode I had one of those glorious moments in life when you happen to know something... Continue Reading →
CAU:2 Ever since the casting for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie was announced, people have been losing their freakin' minds.
