Happy Thanksgiving! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day of giving thanks and reflecting on our lives. It's a day to look at the world and see how you can help make it a better place. It's also a day of family, food and relaxation. However you plan to celebrate the day, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! And for anyone who doesn't celebrate the holiday, I also wish you a very Happy Thursday!

If you're looking for something holiday inspired to watch, I included a fun Geeky Thanksgiving List below. For more Geeky Lists, here are my previous three Thanksgiving lists: (1, 2 and 3).

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (+ a Geeky Holiday TV List)

Before I start my holiday post, I wanted to say that Book Girl has been experiencing some technical difficulties as in my internet has been really bad. I could barely use it and I only had like a small window of time daily to post something real quick before it went out. Ever since the last most recent storm which was so bad it knocked out power for so many people, but I sort of lucked out with only my internet being nearly out. However, thankfully yesterday it was repaired. Although another storm is supposed to roll in this weekend so hopefully, my internet will be fine.

As for the holiday, whether you're celebrating throughout the day or in the evening or over the weekend, I wish everyone a fun, safe and happy St. Patrick's Day. For anyone looking for something fun to watch for the holiday, I have a Geeky Holiday List with a few episodes below. You can also check out my other two past St. Patrick Day posts for additional things to watch: 1 and 2.

Fandom Friday: Random Fandom Thoughts #33: Pugsley and Wednesday Addams, Tabitha and Adam Stephens and Braeden

Happy Friday, how has your week been? Well, here are a couple of my fandom thoughts:

- I really like the Wednesday TV series, it's a gothic supernatural mystery series. I like the characters (Wednesday, Enid, Bianca, etc.) and the story was very interesting as well as the mystery. I also like that Wednesday Addams went from being a little antagonist towards her parents Mortica and Gomez to gaining a better understand of them. Despite that, there is one issue I had with the show and that was changing the birth order for Pugsley and Wednesday by making Wednesday the older sibling instead of Pugsley. The show would have still been the same maybe with a few little changes if Pugsley was older since the focus is on Wednesday.

This reminds of the short lived 1970's Bewitched spin-off Tabitha that was about witch Tabitha Stephens. The show also featured her brother Adam. The thing is, the writers changed the birth order and made Adam the older sibling instead it being Tabitha. On Bewitched, Tabitha was born first in the second season and her little brother Adam was born in the sixth season. And on Tabitha not only did the birth orders change but the writers also got rid of Adam's powers and turned him into a diapproving mortal who didn't want his sister to use her magic. There was really no reason to have made those changes especially since the original source material was there as a reference.

- I was thinking about Braeden (who was a former U.S. Marshal turned mercenary) after she finally caught the elusive Desert Wolf in the fifth season of Teen Wolf. I was wondering what other adventures and cases she found herself on? Most likely something supernatural. Her relationship with werewolf Derek Hale obviously ended, so she would be back to traveling alone. However, I like to think that she occassionally got a few cases and a little help from Marin Morrell, the balance seeking Emissary from time to time. But she would most likely be on her own traveling from one place to another. I wish Braeden had gotten a spin-off because I think it would have been a really interesting show.

What are your favorite fun or light-hearted Supernatural TV Shows?

I love watching supernatural TV shows, the scarier the better but sometimes I want to watch something that's funny and more light-hearted. From ghouls to witches, these are seven of my favorite fun filled supernatural shows: 


1. Bewitched

This is the ultimate comedy magical series. It's about Samantha Stephens, a witch, trying to balance living a normal life with her non-magical husband Darrin while continuing to use her powers.

Bewitched was an interesting funny show and I'd say without it there would be no Charmed or any other witch type shows. I did find Darrin to be a bit annoying always trying to tell Sam to lay off the magic, hello you married a witch. If you wanted a mortal woman you should have married one, why suppress her abilities.

I also liked Samantha's mother Endora and her evil cousin Serena they added a lot of fun to the show.
