Avengers: A Winning Moment for All
Avengers was a wonderful end to an amazing Star Wars Day. I came out of the theater feeling like I had just witnessed something special, and no, I am not talking about the film. The film was fantastic and highly recommend you see it, but my favorite moment of the experience was when the story ended and the credits rolled as the audience clapped. I sat there in the dark movie theater emotional and teary eyed, because I realized this was the moment I’ve been waiting for years as a Whedonite.

Can’t this girl catch a break? Poor SMG. Someone is always trying to kill her.

Introducing Pop Culture Nexus: Post-Grad
Life after graduation can be a stressful time – applying for jobs, finding an apartment, and paying off those student loans. That’s why we created the Tumblr site, “Pop Culture Nexus: Post-Grad,” which chronicles the difficulties many students face after college/graduate school through a pop culture perspective.
Enjoy!

Did you graduate from Whedon University?
I did and I majored in Witty Dialogue.
What was your major?

Ringer and Buffy
Ringer is not Buffy. Ringer is its own show, but sometimes I just can’t help but make a comparison.

A Letter to Ringer from Buffy Fans
Dear Ringer,
Do not take the Buffy comparisons personally. It happened and it will happen again.
When they announced your arrival we thought – same girl, same network affiliate, but different show. The years of Sarah Michelle Gellar playing Buffy Summers are long gone. Now, we make room for Bridget and Siobhan. Ringer is not Buffy, and we never expected it to be. However, the tendency to compare you to Buffy is irresistible, which was apparent during the season premiere. We made references to vampires, called Siobhan to get a stake when she was being attacked, and thought of the Buffy bot when Gellar appeared as twins on screen. Call it stubbornness. Call it Buffy fever. Call it whatever you like. Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer has left an indelible mark on television viewers and writers (see videos below). Sure, we’ll continue making Buffy references but that does not mean we expect you to be Buffy. We have given you your own space. You have established a different tone and found a home in a different genre. We are happy to welcome you to the TV family.
Stake in your heart,
Buffy Fans
