Villainess Review: Morgan Smith (For Love or Murder)
I had known about this movie, For Love or Murder, a month or so prior when it was originally titled, Murder & Matrimony, and was featured among Marvista's collection of upcoming Lifetime films. I was elated to finally see this film, which began with a tragedy befalling the film's main protagonist, Angie Porter: the sudden deaths of her parents. It was at the funeral that she reunited with her older brother, Michael Porter, as they had been estranged since Michael's teenage years, as he had a falling out with their parents.

Lake House of Terror
Just seven days after tying the proverbial knot, Joyce Barrington and Paige Sanders were on the road, headed to a lake house that was owned by Joyce. Despite their love for each other, both women approached this move differently; for Joyce, she showed elation while being behind the wheel. For Paige, however, there was nothing but nerves--this was a huge step for such a young woman, and she knew it. Despite this, Paige was all in, as she not only truly loved Joyce, but she was truly grateful to Joyce for being at her side in her time of need.

Why Ruby Rose Left Batwoman
I'm a big fan of Ruby Rose; I've seen her in quite a few things. I loved her appearance on SyFy Channel's series, Dark Matter, as evil cyborg Wendy, and she also appeared in John Wick 2. When I learned that Rose would be playing the role of Kate Kane, aka Batwoman, on The CW's Arrowverse shows, I was all in! The Australian actress actually debuted as Batwoman before her self-titled series actually premiered; her first appearance as the Caped Crusader came in "Elseworlds," 2018's muti-show Arrowverse crossover. The crossover aired in December of 2018, and it was in the fall of 2019 that the Batwoman series premiered. Rose's Batwoman also appeared in the epic 2019 crossover, "Crisis on Infinite Earths," and other than Batwoman, fellow Arrowverse shows Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow were involved.

NFL Week 6 Recap: The Jags' Losing Streak is Over, but Rodgers' Ownership of the Bears Lives On
After 400 days, the Jacksonville Jaguars finally won a game! The Jags served as the home team in their meeting with the Miami Dolphins, who were also disappointing--entering Week 6 at 1-4 after a season of assumed improvement. Tua Tagovailoa returned as the Dolphins' starter, but he made mistake after mistake in the outing in London. Despite this, the Dolphins led 20-17, until Matthew Wright's 53 yard FG curved to the left and went through. After a terrible 4th down conversion attempt by Miami, Jacksonville got into FG range, and Wright made another one, this time giving the Jaguars a walk-off win.

Villainess Review: Andrea Pacheco (NCIS: Hawai'i)
When I learned about a fourth NCIS series debuting, I was elated and also decided that I had to watch this as it aired. I, like many other TV watchers, am immensely familiar with the phenomenon known as NCIS. Despite its' immense prominence, the original series started as a spinoff of another CBS series--JAG--before going off on its own in 2003. The original NCIS is in its nineteenth season, while its first spinoff, NCIS: Los Angeles, is in its thirteenth. NCIS: New Orleans (my favorite of the group) actually ended its run after seven seasons, but prior to its end came the announcement of this installment: NCIS: Hawai'i. One of the reasons why I dove in to this is because of the show's lead, Vanessa Lachey, as I'm a fan of her work--which now includes her role in this series as the lead agent, Jane Tennant.

Villainess Review: Rose Magnusen (Bones)
Bones is quite an amazing show; there are reasons why this show lasted for a dozen years on FOX. I remember seeing previews for the show during its run; I didn't watch it religiously; though I ended up binge-watching anyway and being drawn into the cases and many of the show's characters, mainly Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and Seeley Booth. The series also had its share of amazing villainesses, with one appearing in the episode "The Cowboy in the Contest."

CFL Week 11 Recap: Playoff Bound
As I said before in my story about how I became a CFL fan, Canadian Thanksgiving often begins the final push for the Grey Cup Playoffs, and even in this slightly abbreviated season, it's no different. Let me set the scene: it's mid-October, the season is nearly 3/4 done, and the league's playoff races are getting intriguing. As I figured, the first playoff clinching scenario was set for Week 11, and it was a simple one: the Winnipeg Blue Bombers could get in with a win. That's all. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened to kick off Week 11.

The (Complicated) History of NFL Overtime
We all love overtime, don't we? Overtime means just a bit more of the game(s) we love. As we all know, overtime comes when things aren't settled after the allotted regulation time, which varies by sport. In hockey, it's three 20-minute periods. In baseball, it's nine innings. In basketball, it's four 12-minute quarters, and in football, it's four 15-minute quarters. However, while the other three sports seem to have their overtime rules figured out with little to no scrutiny, it's the NFL's overtime that has been under a magnifying glass for decades.

Villainess Review: Sister Francis & Sister Ruth (The Amityville Moon)
Other than the MLB Postseason and the return of hockey, one of the things I love about October is Halloween, which gets celebrated all month long with a plethora of new horror films. Among this year's batch was The Amityville Moon, and as a big time horror fan, I'm quite familiar with the Amityville saga. I was very elated about this film, however, as after 47 years and many, many films, Amityville finally tackles a sub-genre I've been a fan of for so long: werewolves.

What Went Wrong: Giants Fall Short in an Epic Clash
Without question, there are three rivalries in baseball that just stand out the most: Yankees/Red Sox, Cubs/Cardinals, and Dodgers/Giants. The rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox is actually the youngest of the three, but it's the most heated due to the Babe Ruth connection and the many decades they have spent battling each other for position. The Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals have been rivals since 1882--the oldest of the three battles. The Giants and Dodgers' rivalry started in 1890, but it spans not only three different centuries, but also two coasts, as the teams were founded in New York and later moved to California in 1958.

What Went Wrong: A Taste of the Brewers' Own Medicine
Remember what the full story of the Milwaukee Brewers was? It was pitching. Pitching was the absolute nucleus of the Brewers' 2021 campaign. This was a season that saw their MVP slugger, Christian Yelich, miss several games due to injury. Yet in spite of everything, the Brewers' rotation (led by Corbin Burnes) and bullpen (led, once again, by Josh Hader) dominated and led the way for the Brew Crew. The team led all of Major League Baseball in shutouts.

What Went Wrong: Rays Dethroned as American League Champions
The popular social media meme as of late has been "How it started/how it's going." The meme usually describes occurrences that start out very well, but as things progresses, they deteriorate...badly. The Tampa Bay Rays definitely qualify for that meme, as they ended up as the first casualty of this year's Division Series--eliminated in four games by the Boston Red Sox.
