Mostly Analytical, Quintessentially Overdramatic
We don’t all agree on everything, but I feel it’s safe to assume that the majority of us in this community of writers are under the rightful belief that this has been a stupendous year for performances. Especially where limited series are concerned. Vulnerability isn’t an easy emotion to master when acting, but the people... Continue Reading →
February 17-23 "One Little Island Girl" | This is Us It has been a week, darling readers, and considering today is Monday, I'm trying really hard not to talk about last night's Oscars because we're saving that for next week. (Thankfully, Katie's got us covered with the one moment that we all can't stop buzzing about, Bradley Cooper and... Continue Reading →
For the past few years, this category’s been the most difficult -- trying to pick through my favorites without too much repetition from past years and the desire to give other characters the opportunity to be on here as well. But my inability to choose could’ve been due to the fact that there just weren’t... Continue Reading →

And it was fascinating to me to have an episode that wasn't focused on the Pearsons, but somehow tied them... Continue Reading →
Big Three Moments of the Week It's wedding season on This is Us and the nerds are headed to Vegas. But instead of something in Hangover fashion, we've got confrontations, struggles, and a whole lot of heart to hearts.

The people the superhero leaves behind learn of the fact that in being themselves,... Continue Reading →
To Jack Pearson | Part I We're always told that life is precious -- a gift, in fact. We're told to live each moment as though it's our last because we could never be certain of what tomorrow will bring, or if it'll even come at all. But as human beings, for the most part,... Continue Reading →
Big Three Moments of the Week Sometimes, I hate this show. I really do. And by that I mean, I don't actually hate it. However, it frustrates me.
