Ranking Gilmore Girls Characters
Stars Hollow is a comfortable and nutty place. The town is entirely populated with vivid and crazy characters that simply don’t get talked about enough. So here we go, we are talking about all the Gilmore Girls side characters. Who's annoying? Who’s amazing? And who is the best supporting character in Stars Hollow?

Sex and the City
The third season ends with all of the ladies single. I think that is really when the show is at its best. The girls show up for each other more when they aren’t centering the men in their lives. And often when they get out of long term or serious relationships it's because they are demonstrating what it means to be a strong woman. They are looking out for themselves or their friends and they don’t let love or affection get in the way of that. They obviously referring to all the other women, not Carrie. Carrie would throw all her friends off a cliff for Big and it's pathetic.

Everybody Loves Miranda
Aside from Carrie, Miranda is probably the most flawed of the Sex and the City women. And thus she is one of my favorites. She is the character I probably identify with the most. She is strong, powerful, independent and she works very hard to be a woman in a man’s world as she is a lawyer. That said, her aggressive feminism is sometimes a step too far and she ends up pushing the men she cares about her away.

Sex and the City
Sex and the City is one of the most iconic shows to come out of the late 90s-early 2000s for so many reasons. But I think one of the things that most of the fans can agree on is how much Carrie Bradshaw sucks. If you don’t agree then perhaps you should rethink your own personal actions and personality because there is no way to experience her character without anger. Let’s go ahead and discuss why.

Sex and the City
We can all agree that the best part of Sex and the City is all of the other girls that aren’t Carrie. My personal favorite is Samantha (also the top of the list through a fully objective analysis) and so we are going to talk about all the reasons why she is the best of the group. Not just the best woman but the best friend. She is strong, confident and she owns her own PR firm, that is badass.

Mad Max Fury Road
Okay so this review might seem a little outdated, but as someone who hasn’t seen any Mad Max movies I thought that ahead of seeing the newest film I should watch what most consider to be the best one. Now I normally hate action movies, I find most of them have no real plot and I am not as enthralled with the sight of explosions as most people seem to be. On top of that, action movies tend to portray women quite poorly and I will never overlook that. All that said, this film comes highly endorsed by my husband so we finally watched Mad Max Fury Road. So here we go….

Best Series Finales
We have talked about series with the most disappointing endings, and to be honest most series go off the rails long before they crash and burn in the finale. But I don’t think we’ve ever talked about series with great finales. Probably because they are few and far between, that said that is exactly what we are doing today. What series not only ended well but had great series finales? What finales are still memorable? And what finales did their characters and series justice?

Ranking Game of Thrones Characters
Everyone has their favorite Game of Thrones character. Some fans even know their house so let’s go ahead and talk about the best and worst of the core Game of Thrones cast. This ranking list will be taking from all 7 seasons (as we know the show was devastatingly canceled after 7 successful seasons) and will only focus on the main houses; Stark, Targaryen, Lannister and Tyrell. The more supporting characters will be the makeup of a different list. Yes that means Baratheon will not be on this list, he was largely inconsequential and only existed for a single season. Honestly the ensemble cast was really big with a lot of characters being important only over 1 or 2 seasons so those characters are going to be their own separate thing. This list is for the families that were present for nearly the entire show. These are, of course, opinions but I am in fact correct so feel free to argue with a wall. I will be giving detailed explanations but just a friendly reminder that this is not just who I like the best, but who is in fact the best written as a character. This list is in the context of the show as that is the only completed version of the story so that is what we will be going by.

Ranking the Scoobies
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the best television shows of all time. Due partially to the writing and relatability and a lot to the truly incredible ensemble cast that carried the show for 7 seasons. We will be ranking the Scooby gang, I will be excluding Buffy for the purposes of this list because of course she wins. We will also be using every makeup of the Scoobies throughout the course of the show so Oz, Tara, Anya, and Cordelia will get some attention.

X-Men '97
X-Men ‘97 has been praised for more than just its nostalgia factor. Its classic writing and impressive reflection of the source material made fans declare this one of the MCU’s best projects. They filled a desperate gap as fans have been asking for the X-Men for about a decade now. I do believe their only mistake was how short this season was. With the newest declaration of Marvel Animation being assigned its own division of the MCU (which is always how it's worked by the way. There is no world that exists where tv, film and animation were done by the same people. It was always separate; the declaration does nothing but prove the public’s lack of knowledge about the industry.) We will hopefully see some more X-Men in the coming years. So here we are with the X-Men ‘97 finale.

X-Men
When we last left our X-Men my sweet sweet Gambit was DEAD, somebody better fix that. Charles is alive and heading back to earth. I love that we are getting more Kurt. And my Storm has her powers back and she knows what happened to Genosha so theoretically she is headed back to the X-Men. The last couple of episodes were extremely emotional so I am hoping for a bit of a break but we now have to deal with the aftermath of Gambit’s death so we will see how that goes.

X-Men '97
When we last left X-Men ‘97 lots of shit went down. Genosha and therefore the mutants were admitted into the UN. They are trying to convince us that Rogue and Magneto are a thing (which is super gross by the way) and we are still missing Storm. This now marks the halfway point for the 10 episode season.
