Welcome back Rick! Didn't see it coming, Rick taking a nice chunk of
Joe's neck off. With that said, last night's season finale was INSANE!
The days of working in the garden at the ol' prison are over. The
opening scene with Rick covered in blood, just confirmed the fact that
we were going to be in for a wild ride. It seems like the walkers are
the last of the groups problems. The end of season 4 left us wondering
how the group is going to handle a new enemy...the humans. But as Rick
said, "They're going to feel pretty stupid when they find out, they're
screwing with the wrong people."
I hate Terminus...It just sounds like no good can come from it.
First the creepy lady serving slabs of meat (no idea what body parts it
came from), the weird room with all the candles lit, and the pile of
remains. I believe there was a ribcage or two or three in there. One of
the biggest question marks that I thought we might see in the finale is
simply, where is Beth? Do the cannibals have her, is she in one of the
other containers? Too many questions, and its a long wait until October.
What were your thought's on the season finale last night?

Music Monday – 80's Big Hair Bands
As a rule, I am not a fan
of men with long hair or make-up that looks better then mines, but I can't help
but love 80's Big Hair Bands.
Blow the dust off your
air guitars and get ready to rock out...
Guns N' Roses “Paradise City”
Def Leppard “Love Bites”
Mr. Big “To Be with You"
Extreme “More Than Words”
Warrant “Cherry Pie”
Poison “Nothin' but a Good Time”
Great White “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”
Skid Row “I Remember You”
Bon Jovi “Wanted Dead or Alive”
KISS “Rock and Roll All Nite”
Van Halen “Jump”
ZZ Top “Legs”
Whitesnake “Here I Go Again”
Quiet Riot “Cum on Feel the Noize”
Bad English “When I See You Smile”
Scorpions “Rock You Like a Hurricane”
AC/DC “You Shook Me All Night Long”
This last band was one of my favorites back in the 80's because when I was going through my "rock phase", it was awesome to see a hard rock band that added COLOR to the sea of white. Lol
Living Colour “Cult of Personality”
So did I forget anyone??? 'Cause I wanted to add Metallica, but most of their songs that I knew were from the 90's...
Let me know what you think.

Theo James - Theo James pretends to be American in bars
British-born actor Theo James puts on an American accent in bars because he says it helps him get served.
Theo James changes his accent to get served in American bars.
The 'Divergent' star doesn't use his British ways to charm people when he's in the US, and sometimes even ends up mimicking an American accent to get a drink.
Ansel Elgort Talks 'Insurgent' and 'Allegiant' SPOILERS After 'Divergent' Movie 2014, Will Caleb Turn Evil?
(Photo : Facebook) Ansel Elgort talks Caleb's character change in upcoming sequels |
"Divergent" actor Ansel Elgort has revealed that Caleb fans may be in for a rude awakening.
According to Bop and Tiger Beat, the 20-year-old actor inferred that although fans may have taken a liking to his character in "Divergent," they might feel different about him towards the end of the series.
"I like the fact that he's not a leading man, and that he's kind of an antagonist," Elgort said. "He's not the guy the audience will love the whole time. You might even hate him as the second and third movies-if we get to make them-come out, because Caleb has a real arc."

Watch: The Fault In Our Stars | Official Trailer
Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them -- and us -- on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.
Hottie of the Week!
This weeks Hottie is brought to you by the letter S. No, his name doesn’t start with an S either, but he is known as The Man of Steel. Introducing, another British Hottie (I have a thing for accents), Mr. Henry Cavill.
(Photo Credit: Eva Rinaldi, Man of Steel red carpet, Sydney)
Henry has an extensive background, not only in modeling, but in acting as well. Since 2001, he has graced us with his presence on both the big screen and television. Since I don’t watch a ton of TV, I was never introduced to him in his role on The Tudors, which I heard could get pretty hot and heavy. (Who can resist a gorgeous man getting hot and heavy and sweaty and… Oh yeah, writing here.)
(Photo Credit: Mark Seliger, Details Magazine, details.com)
Since Henry was a special request Hottie by a few fabulous friends, I am going to stop here and let his pictures speak for themselves as to why he can qualify as the Hottie of the Week. So, I will bid you farewell until next time and let you drool through the rest of the pics :)

"The Greater Good" 06.19 Castle
Sorry for the late posting! I think I am in hiatus denial!
Well we are on a downhill roll to the end of season six. With only four episodes left to to go, "The Greater Good" came out to me as a more character centric rather than case centric episode. I loved getting to see and find out more of Gates' backstory. It really drove home why her character is as by the book as she has been since her introduction. It was also nice getting to see her interact with her sister on a personal level. But my favorite Gates moment of the night came when Kate gave her all the props for being a fantastic Captain. It felt like her initiation into "this immediate family".
As we are introduced to our case, we find ourselves in a disheveled apartment, that has been worked over pretty well. Our first glimpses of our vic are sidelined by the mysterious photographer in black, leaving us, as always with more questions than answers.

And on to Caskett and their blissful domesticity!! The wedding planning continues with talks of needing a new venue. Castle's suggestion about Coney Island, harkens a conversation with Beckett about the day that she and her dad went there after her mom's funeral. It is really amazing the depth of continuity that the writers go to. It was in that conversation that we got the quote, "...Even on the worst days, there's a possibility for joy." But the suggestion is swiftly shot down by Ms. Beckett due to lack of seating. Which brings them to face their next problem, the guest list. Both of them have declared that they want the ceremony to be small and intimate, to really focus on the coming together of two people that are dedicated and in love. But with a projected guest list of 500+, that might not be in the cards for our love birds!
Sadly, the insider trading and government espionage side of the case melted into the background for me. Instead, the interaction between Gates and her sister, bore the brunt of my attention. Gates' sister is involved because the U.S. Attorneys' office has been using our victim to find out information. The episode title is used a little to liberally from all the wrong people, and while everything that is done for "The Greater Good" its best to remember that the wrong thing for the right reasons, is still the wrong thing. (Dropping some knowledge on y'all) Gates has to weigh destroying her sister's rapidly crumbling case with finding out why Canderro was killed. Which in the end, garners her the respect and admiration from her sister that would have been there all along, if she wasn't holding such a grudge. To see both of them let down their walls, that they have been building and reinforcing since 1998 was refreshing!
This episode was so delightfully personal. We had all the key players, minus Alexis, present and accounted for, which is always a high point for me! And the final scene of planning banter, was in a word adorable! But now we play the long game of waiting. Welcome to Castle hiatus number 2 of season 6, new episodes will not air again until April 21st. All I can say is scroll tumblr, read fanfic, and talk with us on Twitter, because those will be my coping mechanisms for this and the summer hiatus! With a Bowman and Winter ep followed by the MilMar finale, I think that the fandom should get prepared for a wild ride!
If you haven't checked out Nathan's birthday project with Charity Water, I highly encourage you to. To this point we have surpassed his original goal of $15,000 and have donated $20,000+ to fund clean water projects across the globe.
Who do we need at the wedding to be happy? |
The bright side of posting today, (a little happy accident) is that I can officially say, Happy Birthday to our 'Rick Castle' Nathan Fillion!

Theo Thursday
When the number one movie; Divergent has one of if not the
hottest man on the planet right now in it, it only makes sense to have Theo Thursday starting today.
I’ve been tossing the idea around to make him a staple of
FANdemonium, and now it just seems like the best time.
If you are a fan of Downton Abbey you got your first glimpse
of Theo when he played Kemal Pamuk in season one. He was dashing, charming and
delightfully wicked. Destined to be a star in leaving us wanting more.
He romped around in other projects including Bedlam, The
Inbetweeners before he helped lead Underworld: Awakening in 2012 along with
Kate Beckinsale. Americans truly got to swooning when the very ‘New York’
sounding Theo graced the small screen weekly in the short lived tv drama Golden
Boy. I never looked more forward to Friday nights and staying home and seeing
our golden boy.
Now the world has taken notice of this amazing rising star,
and I am sure we will see him in so much more in the years to come besides the
amazing Divergent series as he brings Four to life.
Blood, Swords, Fighting...and a HOT Viking
Ah yes the days of the Vikings were so barbaric, but Travis
Fimmel makes it look so easy (and hot). Those piercing blue eyes, tough
demeanor and his muscular stature... need I say more. I actually had the
pleasure of meeting him in a bar last year at Comic Con. While I was
trying not to drool on myself, and not sound like a complete dimwit, he
was super friendly, charming, and soooo easy on the eyes. And the
Australian accent was the icing on the cake.
After seeing him in Baytown Outlaws, I became a fan. He's an incredible actor, and Vikings is an awesome show. Its more than just barbarians and bloodshed...Its about family and loyalty, and the search for something greater. If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend you do. While in the midst of their second season,they just announced they will be coming back for a third. Congrats to the cast!!!
I hope I get to see them again this year at Comic Con.They had an amazing presence last year, and I expect the same if not more this year. If you haven't already, its definitely a show to watch.

Will They Find Each Other
This Sunday is the last episode of the season for Walking Dead, I
say that with a sigh...I've had mixed feelings about this season. After
their mid-season hiatus, I felt it was a bit lack luster (minus the
Governor FINALLY getting killed, happy dance). But as a true fan I was
excited to see what was next for my favorite survivors. The second half
of the season has had some of the BEST episodes in the series. After
watching season after season, we get hooked on these characters, we
embrace them, fear for their survival...without knowing much of their
back story.
Michonne opens up to Carl and shares her past, and we get to
see a softer side of this fearless warrior. We know she is badass with a
sword. However, seeing Michonne and Carl joking and laughing relates to
their human side. I think that gets forgotten when fighting to live
everyday. Carl and Beth are proving they can handle themselves and this
new world. Its refreshing to see them both take an adult stand and I
can't wait to see whats in store for these characters.
No shock that I'm a huge Daryl fan. One of the best episodes
was seeing him break down those walls - hear his story. To see him break
down...well damn!!! Beth was pretty badass to get him to break. One of
the the best scenes was of them in the house, and in his "Daryl" way
letting Beth know maybe there might be some good people left after all.
And it was because of her (awe moment)...then the zombies have to come
and ruin everything, and she gets kidnapped. So the big
question....WHERE IS BETH???!!!
Probably the most shocking, the little girl goes cray cray
and kills her sister so she can have a zombie friend...Not gonna lie,
I'm still a little disturbed by that. On a serious note though, it shows
the impact and psychology of a post apocalyptic life.
I hope the finale brings the gang together. Maggie and Glens
reunited moment was so touching last week, and I'd love to see more of
it. Most of all I hope Rick is able to hold his daughter Judith again.
And hooray again, the piece of shit Governor is DEAD!!!!
But the question is, what lies ahead in Terminus???
Fanfic Rec Wednesday - Love in My Box
I feel very blessed that I have friends willing to help me
out with everything I do!
Today’s rec comes to you via Kristin (@Kdub_s):
Title: Love in My Box
Why is it good?: I like the idea of falling in love through
emails. And I love their Edward. He is a clueless Geekward. His
misunderstandings of social situations is hilarious. It’s written very well.
Cosmo and Marvar are a perfect team.
~~~~~
I haven’t read this one yet. A lot of people have told me to
read it – that it’s really funny and sweet. At 27 chapters and just under
150,000 words, I think I’m going to start this next. Thanks KDubs!

OUAT - The Tower
It took me a day and a half to think about this
episode and it wasn’t because I didn’t like it. There were just so many aspects
of Sunday’s Once Upon A Time episode that I needed to just digest it a bit and
formulate a few ideas where the writers are taking us for the rest of the
season.
I will be up front here and state I didn’t like the
business with Charming and Emma in the opening. I really think they should’ve
used a little girl to play Emma because the dance sequence was a bit disturbing
with adult Emma.
I loved the Rapunzel thing and hope she will make an
appearance in Storybrooke but alas, there are dozens of characters already in
line to do their time in our favorite Maine hideaway.
‘Divergent’ sequels ‘Insurgent’ & ‘Allegiant’ will be filmed in Atlanta; Shooting begins in May
With the release of Divergent this weekend, its sequel, Insurgent, has been greenlit (officially).
“We’re confident that ‘Divergent’ is on its way to becoming another important franchise for us, and we have just greenlit the second film, ‘Insurgent,’” said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer.
The films are based on the books in Veronica Roth’s best selling trilogy about Tris, a 16-year-old living in a dystopia who does not fit into any one of the society’s five factions.
Though Divergent was filmed in Chicago, where the stories are set, Insurgent and Allegiant will be primarily shot in Atlanta beginning in May.
Insurgent will hit theaters on March 20, 2015. The release date for Allegiant is March 18, 2016.

Music Monday – Boy Bands
Boy Bands = Cute
boys that can sing and dance. Enjoy some of my favorites:
The Boys "Dial My Heart"
Another Bad
Creation "Iesha"
New Edition "If It Isn't Love"
New Kids on the
Block "You Got It (The Right Stuff)"
Backstreet
Boys "The Call"
O-Town "Liquid
Dreams"
Boyz II Men "Motownphilly"
*NSYNC "Bye
Bye Bye"
All-4-One "I
Swear"
Menudo "Hold
Me"
The Jackson 5 "Dancing Machine"
The Monkees "I'm a Believer"
The Beatles "Help"
This one was
harder than I thought to post. There are a lot of boy bands out there. I left out
a few because, to be honest, some I just didn’t like (*cough*Hanson*cough*) and
others I am just too damn old to even like (*cough*One Direction*cough*). If I
forgot some of your faves, please let it on me below in the form of a
comment...... (*cough*attentionh00r*cough*)
P.S. I am still not sure I would
consider Boyz II Men a “boy band”. It’s debatable.

It's hard being a Fangirl
There are so many fandoms out there, with elitists, snobs or
better yet passionate fangirls for lack of a better name for them, that for
some reason or another, that feel the need to put down other fandoms or the
fans that love them. We are all passionate about one thing or another and don’t
want to back down from our convictions or loves, but we are all fans that is
our common link and we often forget that.
Being a fan of something or someone gives us the most joy
and helps links us in a special way. We all need to just get along and remember
that. That is the basis of all fangirls. We love something or someone!
A lot of avid readers of Young Adult books that were older
than 18, back in 2005 when Twilight was first published forget that there we
not many if any books to captivate us and get older readers reading this genre.
Twilight whether you like it or not, opened the door for other books and series
that many of us are clamoring for and reading and making successful and seeing
them now on the big screen. The Vampire
Diaries written by L.J. Smith was out way before Twilight back in 1991 and didn't have much of a
following until the success of The Twilight books and then they saw the
potential and bam we have a hit series on our hands. Yet some hardcore TVD fans
will look down their noses at Twilight fans like they are pariah. Without
Twilight there would be no TVD on every week, so maybe just say thank you.
Divergent fans that have been fans of the series for a while
are on the fence from what I have seen in tweets that their beloved series is
now a hit movie and that they will have to share it with the rest of the world
that is just catching on. Well, again, if it was for Twilight and Summit a lot
of people would not have known about this series. While we Twilight fans were
standing on line and waiting at Tent City, they handed out Divergent to all of
us. So some Twilight fans found the book and fell in love with it because of
Twilight.
Fans are fans people whether we find the books on our own
before they become popular in the book community or if we find them after that
have been cast and are about to hit the big screen we are fans! The more the merrier. Yes if you follow the
book all the way to the big screen, you can bitch and moan and complain when
they didn't cast your fave, but when it all comes down to it the more people
that fall in love with the book or the newly released movie the better chances
of success and sequels. So don’t complain when people “jump on the bandwagon”
some people are a little slower to find the books, TV Shows or movies, but it
doesn't make them less of a fan.
I was late to the Twilight party and until this admission no
one knew about it! I found the books by accident after the movie was cast and
right before they started the promos all over the TV and in the malls near us.
I am still and will forever call Twilight my love. I hold my head up high and
proud when I speak of the books and the movies. After Twilight, I found The
Vampire Diaries books, I couldn't get enough of vampires and the YA section. I was
disappointed that the show changed from the books, but for those that never
read the books or didn't know about them it doesn't matter, it’s a huge success
and there is no going back. I watch the show religiously and I can’t even
imagine it would have been so successful if they never strayed from the books. And
having Ian and Paul as the leads sure doesn't hurt, but the point it I was a
fan and was salivating for the show when they said it was happening. I am
forever grateful that fans caught on to the books, and the show and it’s the success
that it is. For the “true” TVD fans to snub fans that are or {gasps} used to be
Twilight fans isn't right. We are all fans!
Yes Twilight vampires sparkle, and TVD ones, need a ring to
mingle in society with no one getting suspicious, but authors have a different
way of writing. It’s that simple. Doesn't mean one vampire group is better than
the other. I love the Lynsay Sands Argeneau Vampire books (Not YA, but so
wicked and worth finding and reading) I found them after Twilight when I was
looking for something different to read and stay true to my love of vampires.
She took it to an entire different level and blows me away. I tweet, and blog
about them any chance I get. I would love for more people to find her books and
read them. The more fans the better.
We are all passionate about our loves whether they are
books, TV shows, or movies. There is always room for more fans. It’s ok to love
them and welcome and sometimes explain why a book is maybe better than a movie,
and maybe get that person to now read the book. Maybe then the popularity would
increase and that author would get more fans and maybe just maybe we could get
more books or movies.
It’s OK to be a fangirl for more than one thing, it doesn't
make you less of a fan, it makes you diverse and human.
What makes you a fangirl? What books, TV show or movies are
you passionate about and would like to share with us. We would love to hear
from you.
'Divergent' author, star talk sweet marshmallows and not-so-sweet character
"Divergent" author Veronica Roth keeps her promises. She once told readers of her blog that when she found success and landed a book deal, she would jump into a pool of mini-marshmallows. And that's just what she did.
Well, close enough. In a video she shared on her blog (below), Roth actually decided to just hop into a bathtub of mini-marshmallows instead.

Hottie of the Week!
So how am I going to beat last week’s Hottie?? It will definitely be a challenge! But sit back, relax and read on…
This week’s Hottie is another personal favorite of mine. He is a man with many sides. First and foremost, to qualify on the hottie scale, he is gorgeous (I am biased, sue me). Secondly, he is intelligent (another fine quality, if you ask me). And last, he has to be one of the sweetest people I have ever met. If you don’t know him, make sure to look him up when you get done reading this!

DIVERGENT' COSTUME DESIGNER BREAKS DOWN THE FACTIONS' LOOKS
"Everything you see in the movie has been made, except some shoes -- and the underwear," says Carlo Poggioli.
With five factions in Divergent, costume designer Carlo Poggioli was tasked with creating thousands of costumes for the Summit film based on Veronica Roth's best-selling YA novel. To capture each group's virtue, Poggioli worked on designing nearly every outfit by incorporating certain costume features that reflected their traits.
"There are thousands of costumes and everything you see in the movie has been made, except some shoes that we had to buy -- and the underwear," Poggioli tells Pret-a-Reporter. "From the belts to bracelets, everything has been made for us." Poggioli had his costumes -- which required more than 50,000 yards of fabric -- made in workshops around the globe, in places including Rome, Budapest, Bucharest, Chicago and Los Angeles.
To understand each faction's signature look, Poggioli breaks down the details for us.
Movie Review: Divergent
I first read Divergent back in 2012 and I liked, I found it hard to get into at first, and I’m "that girl", if it doesn't grab me right away, I either may not finish it cause I am bored, or I finish it out of curiosity to see what the big deal is. That was my first round of reading Divergent. So when I went to see the movie for the first time, the book was so far out of my mind, that it was as if I was living it for the first time and how could I refuse, I was getting to see Theo James bring ‘Four’ to life on the big screen. Theo was my hook, I cannot tell a lie, as if you guys don’t adore him and drool over him as well. But I digress, Divergent is so more than Theo, it is an amazing story and original and unique but you all knew that already from reading the book, and if you haven’t get to it, it’s a must read, even if you go see the movie this Friday March 21.
Fanfic Rec Wednesday – Wisp
I would normally only rec completed fics because some people
don’t want to read WIPs (work-in-progress) just in case the author flounces and
we are left hanging, heartbroken, wondering what happens next. Also, many
people won’t read WIPs because they are too impatient to wait for the next
chapter in between updates.
Of course, there are many people who do read WIPs. It’s fun
to be able to interact with an author during that creative process.
I want to rec my favourite WIP, Wisp by Cris (@judo_lin). Read it here on fanfiction.net.
This is one of the very first REAL fan fiction stories I started reading. Like most of the fics I picked up in the beginning, I found out about it by lurking around twitter and cyber-eavesdropping on people’s conversations.

I feel like this rec should come with a disclaimer. It’s not
for the faint of heart …or stomach. The “Bella” character (Wisp) has endured
the most horrific torture one could possibly imagine. It’s absolutely
gut-wrenching, but if you can get through that, you also get to enjoy the
heart-warming aspects of the story.
Many people may only see all that Wisp can’t do (for
example, she doesn't walk and, at first, doesn't speak at all) and how much she
is hindered by the loss of her abilities and even her sense of humanity. But I
actually find the story uplifting in a way. Wisp’s innate ability to love is
very strong and pure. She is fierce and protective when it comes to those she
cares about, namely Edward or her cat, Pet. You don’t want to mess with her. (She
literally bites.)
And Edward… oh Edward. *sigh* The same quality I liked best
about “Originalward” (Stephenie Meyer’s Edward) is this Edward’s most prominent
feature. He is unapologetically protective. It’s incredibly sweet. I adore him.

"The Way of the Ninja" - 06.18 Castle
This week's episode was such a refreshing reminder of all the reasons that I've fallen head over heels for Castle! I will admit, and not be the first actually to concede that this episode blew away all of my expectations. I personally don't watch the promos that get released on Monday, I want to leave a couple of surprise moments, and this tactic did not let me down! The episode originally looked like a fluff episode with an unlikely villain, far fetched Castle theories, and Beckett dealing with Castle's "alternative" interrogation techniques. However, the underlying depth and relationship moments of this episode were incredible testaments to the writers, cast, and crew! And in a request that is years old.... Nathan Fillion finally got his ninja assassins!!
“Castle is, right now, very into ninja assassins.”

It's safe to say Gotham isn't your daddy's Batman story. The Fox drama, which already has a series order, tells the origin story of James Gordon, the man who would become the commissioner and Batman's trusted confidant, before the Dark Knight takes on Gotham City's underwold.
The drama follows Southland star Ben McKenzie as a young Detective Gordon with his partner Harvey Bullock played by Sons of Anarchy's Donal Logue as the fight crime in Gotham City before the Batman ever existed. Check them out below.
