Philosophical wonder woman

I have always been drawn to any TV show or movie starring and revolving around Super Heroines. In my youth obviously I was captivated by the Wonder Woman TV show starring Lynda Carter. Many hours were spent spinning & fueling the imagination with our adventures together. My grandparents had audio records of the Wonder Woman comic that completely captivated me. I became entranced with the idea of a woman super hero who didn't have to rely on men; she could rescue herself as well as others. I enjoyed The Bionic Woman as a child but not in the same way I looked up to a traditional Super Heroine (keeping with the league of many male characters). The 2007 Bionic Woman remake was enjoyable at first (especially because of kick-ass characters like Katee Sackhoff joining in). But repetitive story lines and uninteresting characters couldn't keep my attention (or apparently anyone else's). I've done a lot of searching in TV & movies and probably watched most of wha...

I pestered my friend Bree to write about her experience at Comic Con for those of us who weren't able to go. I KNEW her perspective would be entertaining and was I ever right. Enjoy this Comic Con 2010 report from an authentic geek girl! Guest post by Bryony Mackey "Lately I’ve seen a few articles aimed at women regarding SDCC. Let me just say, condescending does not even begin to cover them. It’s more than a little sad that in the year 2010 many people still swing that wide brush which paints any girls at a comic/sci-fi convention as just tagging along with a guy. It reminds me of when I showed up to an employee’s desk to fix a computer issue one time. He said ‘Oh, er, um…Are you like the ‘unofficial’ IT person? All the guys are busy right now?’ I was so taken aback all I could say at first was ‘Are you serious?’ (which was 100% more profanity-free and less violent than what ran through my head) Oh yes, he was completely serious. People really are taken aback when...

My alter ego in the group of awesome friends I call the Johnny Snows , is known as Hips of Fury (naturally, since I'm a bellydancer ). (Side note to the potentially confused - Johnny Snow is a reference from Dr. Horrible which is an awesome story we all adore. We are the Snows b/c we ski in CO. Dr. Horrible is plotting to be an evil mastermind in the ELOE, Evil League of Evil. Our group hasn't determined yet if we are good or evil ;-) ) The Johnny Snows are a creative group and Colleen has decided to write a script for a video so we can really have fun with the character names we made up at our holiday party. I already enjoy writing, so I quickly came up with a fictitious character: Hips of Fury – Alise Ardent (Ardent is a play on words being a synonym for passionate) Good or Bad? – Ambiguous / Struggles with it / Helps women, sometimes enjoys punishing men Powers – shimmies that create weather patterns & sonic booms, has power of hypnosis with slow movements and can...

after reading a very funny geek web comic: http://hijinksensue.com/2009/03/02/a-crisis-of-faith/ I noticed all the fan comments beneath... enjoy! "Our WHEDON who art in Hollywood, Hallowed by they words. Thy shows they come, Thy disks they run On CD as well as Blu-Ray. Give us this day our heroines and forgive us our fandom as we are the fans of shows before thee. And lead us not into teen angst and deliver us from mediocrity For thine is the action, the drama and the story Forever and ever. Gorram." whedon commandments 1. You shall have no other gods before Whedon 2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, cept those existing in thy Whedonverse. For I, the Lord your Whedon, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the FOX on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Buffy DVD box set. 3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your Whedon in vain. 4. Remember the scifi F...
