I saw the entire series in October 2025, mostly to be a completionist about the NCIS universe series.  This series has no raison d'être. It feels stiff, and do we really care about these two characters when they are separated from the NCIS pack?So, what is this series about?  Well, after Ziva resurfaces in 2020, she goes to Paris to meet with Tony and Tali (their kid).  Tony is now

Since it's October, and I live in Salem, why not binge something Witchy?  I came across the Mayfair Witches recently, so this seemed like a good October series to binge.The core plot revolves around Rowan, a medical doctor who is a witch, but doesn't know it. When her mother is in distress, her power manifest themselves (surprise, I guess?), which gets the Talamasca's hackles up.  They are

Aaaaannnndddd.... I am all caught up with the COD series...at least the Black Ops variety.  I still have MW III to complete. And, apparently, Black Ops 7, which is coming out later this month?I started this on 7/20/25, and I finished it at the end of August, just in time before the academic year started.This series is a direct sequel to Cold War, which hopefully means that Black Ops now has some

I was reluctant to start Cold War, because I wasn't looking for another period shooter, but when I was looking into it and saw that it was the continuation of Black Ops, I decided to give it a try. I started the campaign on 7/1/25 and completed it 7/20/25.The game was fun.  I wasn't sure how much I'd like the Cold War setting, but I really dug the 80s vibe of the game. Smoke-filled CIA rooms,

My next entry in the series was Call of Duty: Black Ops III.  Having played Black Ops, and Black Ops II a while back (it's somewhere in this blog), I decided to continue on with this one (instead of replaying the older entries).  I started the campaign on 5/24/25 and finished it on 6/30/25. I did play a bit of Zombies, and a bit of the arcade, and while fun, I ended up leaving those until

After Wolfenstein, I decided to go back to the Call of Duty series and try to binge through the entries in that group of games.  I started COD: Modern Warfare on 5/2/25 and finished the single-player campaign on 5/11/2025.The campaign of MWII was quite a lot of fun.  I ended up getting fragged...a lot...in the beginning because I kept running ahead and getting hit by grenade shrapnel. 

Hey! I am finally all caught up with the Wolfenstein Series!I started this game on March 8, 2025 and finished April 27, 2025.Picking up this game right after Old Blood was a bit jarring.  In all honesty, I was expecting badass Blazkowicz twins that were essentially mini BJs. Of course, that's the trouble with kids, isn't it? They are't neat little clones of their parents ;-) Once you get over

Back to some video game reviews for a few posts :-)  This one is for Wolfensein: Young Blood, which I finished March 8, 2025....yeah, I know it's been a while since I finished this, why am I writing about it near the end of October? ;-)  No real answer to that, other than "I got busy," but brace yourselves for more long overdue thoughts :-).So...This game felt very familiar! I actually had

Over the summer, I binged Severance. I've seen a lot about this series, and a lot of pop culture references to it, so I thought I'd give it a try.The show is about employees at Lumon Industries who undergo a surgical procedure called "severance," which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. When they are at work, their "innie" self has no memory of their life outside

While waiting for season two of NCIS: Origins to start, I thought I'd write a little bit about the inaugural season that aired last year.  Gibbs is back!  Well, sort of!  The series, as the name implies, is a prequel.  It's a prequel on two counts. First, it follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he begins his career as a special agent at the Navy Investigative Service Camp Pendleton
