    Voice of the People / Firebrand
    Laura Akers is a teacher by calling and a geek academic by nature. Her often too-lengthy writing and her own personal musings tend to revolve around issues of gender, sexuality, identity, politics, religion (and all the other things you’re not supposed to bring up in polite conversation) in TV/film/webseries and other narratives. You can keep up with her ramblings on these subjects by following @laurajakers

    Ripper Street 1.04 “The Good of This City”

    Does Ripper Street have a woman problem?

    Ripper Street has gotten just a tiny bit better.

    Ripper Street 1.02 “In My Protection”

    Ripper Street is still struggling to find itself here in its second episode.

    Unless your bucket list includes seeing every Statham movie ever, you’ve already seen Parker. Several times. Only better.

    The answer to the question fans of Tolkien have been asking about this movie for months is “no, not really.” But we’ll get to that in a moment.

    Once Upon a Time 2.09 “The Queen of Hearts”

    I don’t feel cheated by having to wait til January. Instead, it’s like a narrative Christmas…nothing but happy anticipation and the certainty that Santa (Horowitz and Kitsis) will once again deliver.

    Once Upon a Time 2.08 “Into the Deep”

    Every fairy tale needs a really good villain.

    Once Upon a Time 2.07 “Child of the Moon”

    Unfortunately, when it comes how well the episode works in and of itself, “Child of the Moon” does not deliver as we might hope.

    Once Upon a Time 2.06 “Tallahassee”

    But let’s face it, despite her choices, if she’s looking for a happily-ever-after, the pickings are kinda slim.

    There is little evidence of Rumple’s better angels this week.

    Last week’s episode was good. It really was. But it had one major flaw: Rumplestiltskin wasn't in it.

    Once Upon a Time 2.03 “Lady of the Lake”

    But investing Snow with a complex and believable emotional core is where Goodwin really shines.
