I have to say, I was kind of disappointed in the premiere of NCIS. Particularly considering how excited I was for it to air. I just felt like everything happened way too fast, and the arc ended (for now) leaving me feeling somewhat dissatisfied. We left off last season with Ziva being tortured, after having […]

After watching the first episode of The Vampire Diaries on The CW, I thought, “Wow, this is a complete knock-off of Twilight.” But then some of my vampire-savvy friends told me that L.J.
