Part Three of the “They Ruined Lucifer” series Season 4 was awful, though it wasn’t as bad as Season 6. What made Season 4 awful? We didn’t get to see Chloe’s immediate reaction to Lucifer really being the devil. Chloe runs to the Vatican with Trixie for an entire month. Chloe sides with some evil … Continue reading
Part Two of the “They Ruined Lucifer” series What really happened in Season 3. Season 3 was uneven, but it wasn’t horrible. There were some great episodes, and, aside from Chloe, all of the characters’ actions fit their characters. (One of the Lucifer Netflix Original FB group mods says that Chloe had brain damage from … Continue reading
And now, for something completely different… In 2017, I discovered Lucifer. I’d known about the existence of the comics, but I’d never read them. Then a friend of mine recommended the TV show. Needing something to watch, I binged the first two seasons just before the third season started. On September 14, 2017, I posted … Continue reading
It’s that time again! This is the 4th Open Adoption Bloggers Interview Project, and my 4th interview pairing. This year, I had the pleasure of learning more about Sarah Baker of Grew In My Heart: Through Adoption. In some ways, this was my easiest pairing yet. Sarah’s blog is new – only 26 posts to … Continue reading
This entire review can be summed up in one sentence, which I said to Max after watching: “I’m pretty sure that’s not how foster care works.” You may not know it, but ABC Family recently premiered a new show, The Fosters. Teri Polo and Sherri Shaun are Stef Foster and Lena Adams, the moms to … Continue reading
This week’s Adoption Magazine blog hop topic is movies and adoption. I have a few thoughts on the topic, though not many. I know that’s odd for me. When I wrote for AdoptionBlogs.com, I watched and reviewed several adoption-related movies, including the much maligned horror flick Orphan. Since leaving them, I don’t think I’ve watched … Continue reading
If anyone hasn’t seen the season finale of Parenthood yet, you don’t want to read this post. (But it’s been a week people. Come on!) As I thought, Parenthood wrapped up their adoption story line with a neat little bow. All the worries about whether or not Joel & Julia would finalize the adoption were … Continue reading
I’m not entirely sure why I continue to watch Parenthood. Oh wait, I do know – Mae Whitman, Lauren Graham, and Peter Krause, in that order. I think that, of the 5 sets of parents on the show, only 2 are any good at actually parenting. Yet, I watch anyway. If you do not watch … Continue reading
Tomorrow night, Thursday, May 17, TLC is going to air Birthmoms, a “reality” show about women who are considering placing their children for adoption. If it does well, they could make the show a series. I am asking you to not watch the show. Shows like these are inherently coercive. Simply calling the show “Birthmoms” … Continue reading
Last week, I wrote about Parenthood‘s adoption story line. Tuesday was the season finale. (Yes, in February. WTF?) Ignoring all of the other events, Zoe came to visit Joel & Julia. Zoe sort of apologized, not that she really had anything to apologize for, exactly. She chose to parent her child. Some would argue that … Continue reading
