Pretty Little Liars S04E13 "Grave New World" Review

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the newest addition of The Strangeverse, "Pretty Little Liars" reviews (starting at Season 4)(better late than never)(yes, I'm watching this show, shut up!)! Unfortunately, this will be the only one for awhile because alas, this was a Halloween episode and our favorite victims are on break until January, which is still ample time for us to continue our tour of "Ravenswood" which I'll be getting to later. For now, we're focused on our four fierce femme fatales. Unlike most Halloween episodes, this episode actually had some significant developments, all of which will be addressed after the break!

Early Thoughts On "Ravenswood"

I can't honestly say what exactly it is that has me excited about the "Pretty Little Liars" spin-off "Ravenswood". Is it the name and my love of all things raven (be it the poem, the Teen Titan or the professional wrestler), is it my complete adoration of small town mysteries ? Is it the creepy introduction we had to this town earlier in the 4th Season of "Pretty Little Liars" or is it simply the fact that Hanna's exclusive beau, Caleb Rivers is headlining this series? Whatever the case maybe, I'm completely stoked for this series. Stoked enough to share some early thoughts on what the series COULD potentially be about, enjoy after the break.

STRANGE LOG: 10-20-13

So let's talk about the future of The Strangeverse and how things are going to be down the road. As many of you know or may not know, my Blip account is going to be deleted come Nov. 7th, that means that The Best Of The Worst, Deconstruction, DEXTER-ity, and any and all one shot videos I created previously will be unavailable until I find a new host site for them (which may not happen in a timely fashion) so for the sake of brevity, I'll just say that those series will BE DISCONTINUED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!

That being said, a few things are going to change here (for better or worse, depends on who's looking at it). I'll be doing more written reviews as I've stated in a "Chainsaws & Vicodin" video, as far as The Best Of The Worst is concerned, I MAY or MAY NOT be doing written reviews of those movies, BUT the things with The Best Of The Worst is that it's easier to mock in video format. So if I do written reviews of those movies expect them to be few and far between, and the same applies to Deconstruction. Ultimately "The Strange Review" will be my primary movie reviewing series. The TV Round Up will also continue on this blog as an article with the trailer embedded and comments below. Not ideal but I really like The TV Round Up Series and we'll see what can be done.

As for The Strangeverse Storyline, as it stands now, I'm forced to turn it into an actual webseries as opposed to embedding storyline segments in reviews. The reason I put storyline segments in reviews because the subject of the review is something reflective of the storyline's theme. As far as previous storylines are concerned, Season 3 & 4 will be condensed into a 2 videos with ONLY the storyline segments available. Season 5 will effectively be a webseries solely based on Youtube. While this may limit my creativity, I'm looking forward to the challenge and for what I have planned for Season 5, it maybe my best one yet. Season Two unfortunately can't be reformatted in this way and therefore will remain in text format.

In conclusion, while I'm not particularly happy (in fact I'm downright pissed about the current state of affairs) they are outside of my ability to change and much like Anne Hathaway's Catwoman, "I'm adaptable.", so I just have to roll with the punches and do what I can to keep this thing afloat until I can find a location to host my videos OR just have them available for download on Mediafire or something...we'll see. The following articles will be coming to this blog:

American Horror Review #2: Asylum

I must LOVE torturing myself because I did it again. As no doubt Season 3 of "American Horror Story" now subtitled "Coven" is probably WELL into the stupidity that seems to plague this series like flies to feces, I think it's time to reflect on the train-wreck, sex riddled, nonsensical, half-baked, poorly written, go nowhere, dog-chasing-it's own tail, mind-numbingly awful 2nd Season of "American Horror Story". Although unlike the last review, this time I take on a FULL Season of this bullsh*t! I survived, but I'll never be the same again. Also feel free to check out this nifty little link that hit all the points I couldn't. Meanwhile...Ugo & The Seeker prepare to embark on their quest to obtain The Jacket!

DEXTER-ity: Season Eight Review & Analysis

And here we are Oh my brothers and only friends, the 2nd to last episode of DEXTER-ity dealing with the final season of "Dexter" and boy oh boy do I have some choice words for this (as Debra Morgan would put it) "Fuckpocalypse".  Unlike most DEXTER-ity episodes, this is actually going to be quite long, so I broke it up into 3 videos and included a few comments below that I thought were hilarious, so after watching my videos you can hopefully get a laugh. Also there are some very important observations I've made that I unfortunately didn't write in my review (because that would have made the video hours long and I would have been ranting and foaming at the mouth by the end of it). Anyways, ENJOY!

Why We HATE Hannah McKay

Okay kids and kittens, I've been trying to turn this into a video BUT it's been a hard minute since I wrote an article here (and whenever I try to record a video it ends up being somewhere around 22 minutes and I end up ranting), also I'm a lot more eloquent when I'm writing my thoughts, rather than verbally expressing them. So, if you guys have watched my DEXTER-ity episode for Season 7, you'll know that I didn't particularly care for the character of Hannah McKay. Much to my anger, Hannah McKay is back for Season 8 (oh goody...-_-).

Anyway, I know I'm not alone in the utter hatred of Hannah McKay, BUT some of us have EXTREME difficulty putting into words WHY we don't like Hannah McKay. SO as a courtesy to you guys, I've decided to list the MANY valid reasons we don't like Hannah McKay, so you won't have trouble listing them. Enjoy after the break! By the way, SOME SPOILERS AHEAD! SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED SEASON 8 UP TO THIS DATE, DO NOT READ (not that it really matters because you're not missing anything)

Let's Talk "Hannibal"...

So with NBC's newest series "Hannibal" wrapping up and being renewed for a 2nd season, I'm of the mind set that with "Dexter" wrapping up, someone needs to step up and fill the serial killer void. Who better than The Father Of Fictional Series Killer (Norman Bates being the Grandfather) Hannibal Lecter. In this article I'm going to discuss my likes and dislikes of this series. But I'm gonna preamble this by saying that my dislikes aren't dislikes but rather things I'd like to discuss. SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED "HANNIBAL" DO NOT READ PASS THE BREAK!
