Nik at Nite: December 2014
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. What I Watched in 2014. As I posted recently. My blogging has been at an all-time low this year, even if I’ve been keeping up things on Facebook. I wrote about The Walking Dead. And Game of Thrones. Just so I’d have one show that didn’t begin with “The”). But I’ve seen a lot of film and television in 2014 that I didn’t share with y’all, and so here are some of my favourites:. Probably my favourite film of the year, this is a dark and gritty look — think Black Swan. 8217;s se...

Nik at Nite: November 2014
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. The Walking Dead Catch-Up Post! So, the last time we posted on The Walking Dead. It was rather, um, sweary on my part. And then there’s this book I’m writing on Sherlock. No end of fun behind the scenes here. But his work let up a bit, and I officially handed in my manuscript last week (November 19 at 10:33pm) and so there’s been a flurry of catch-up this week. 505 Self Help (Glenn’s group at the bookstore and sidewalk zombie slurry). Just a note that I wrote this three weeks...

Nik at Nite: Buffy Rewatch Schedule
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2010/11/buffy-rewatch-schedule.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. Since I posted on the Great Buffy Rewatch. There's been a ton of interest in it, which warms my heart and proves to me what I already knew: People still love Buffy! And I think in the face of the dreaded Jossless reboot, they want to do a rewatch even more to remember the way Buffy's story was SUPPOSED to be told. It was posted to Whedonesque here. 11 Welcome to the Hellmouth. 14 Teacher’s Pet. 15 Never Kill a Boy on the First Date. 18 I Robot, You Jane. 19 The Puppet Show.

Nik at Nite: August 2014
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. My Kids Review TV: Doctor Who 8.1 — Deep Breath. This past Saturday was the much-anticipated return of Doctor Who. Which, if you watch the show, you know it comes with much more than "what will the new season be like? This premiere brought with it a new Doctor, new relationships, new personalities, and even a new TARDIS. As the fifth Doctor would have said, "You've changed the desktop theme again! That's not the only theme that changed. Only she hasn't. It's rather confusing...

Nik at Nite: Game of Thrones 5.5: Kill the Boy
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2015/05/game-of-thrones-55-kill-boy.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Game of Thrones 5.5: Kill the Boy. Stone Men, a nobleman BBQ, and a super. Awkward dinner party at the Boltons. It's another happy fun week in Westeros! With me as always is the brilliant Christopher Lockett. Knower of all things Westerosian and fantasy-like. In fact, I'll let him start us off again this week. I loved this because it doesn’t show disparate, parallel storylines—it shows the ferment of proximate events, all of which inform and shape each other. But instead, what sh...

Nik at Nite: May 2015
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Game of Thrones 5.7: The Gift. After last week's particularly emotional response to the final scene, this week some of the story lines felt like a bridge from one episode to the next, where others finally culminated in moments we've been waiting for all season. Without further ado, I shall let my esteemed co-writer, Christopher Lockett. The Sworn Sword,. And The Mystery Knight. On the heels of last week’s episode, this scene was particularly difficult to watch. What fol...Unlikel...

Thursday, December 29, 2011. The Great Buffy Rewatch Archive. With the Buffy Rewatch over, I wanted to pull this archive post (which originally appeared in March) up to the top, for anyone who wanted a quick reference guide of where to find what episode, and also for anyone who is now finished and wanted to go back to see the spoiler posts. Quick word of caution: there's some Angel S5 talk in there, but it's mostly near the end. Week 1 Non-Spoiler Post. Week 1 Spoiler Post. 11 Welcome to the Hellmouth.

Nik at Nite: July 2015
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. The Complexities of Internet Grief. Can't let that stand" and immediately began suggesting that people who posted about the lion clearly cared more about animal suffering than human suffering. At first I was annoyed: Jesus, can't we have one single moment of upset that something terrible has happened in the world before we all start calling each other names and guilting each other and accusing each other of not caring about anything else? How is there a side to even take there?

Thursday, July 17, 2014. Doctor Who Season 8 Trailer. I was trying to describe the awesomeness of this trailer to my friend John the other day, and just couldn't do it in words. So here you go, John! I think this is signalling the darker Doctor I was hoping we'd get this time around. I certainly hope so! Although. I'm wondering if that's going to put off my kids, who have REALLY enjoyed the Eleventh. Hm.). Sunday, July 13, 2014. The Leftovers 1.03: Two Boats and a Helicopter. Why did you forsake me?

Nik at Nite: April 2015
http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 26, 2015. Game of Thrones 5.3: The High Sparrow. Beheadings, betrothals, and High Priests caught in brothels; kidnappings, self-abnegations, and a wedding. Or, as they call it in Westeros, a Wednesday. Yes, it's episode 3 of the fifth season of Game of Thrones. And with me as always to discuss the literary side of the show — as well as joining me in squeeing — is the Lord Commander himself, Christopher Lockett. Well, shockingly for Game of Thrones. Before launching into details of the weddi...
