It is time for another trip around the world! Today we’ll be taking a look at Eastern Europe through characters and film! A huge thank you to Heather at Seriously Geeky Sundays! for organizing this! 25th October – Around the World in 8 Sundays – Eastern Europe It’s week two of our Around the World in 8 Sundays, a multi-week theme taking us around the world, and this week our spotlight is on Eastern Europe . Who is your favourite character of Eastern Europe heritage? I can’t pick just one, so I made a list of a few of my favorites from over the years.  Chekov – There is no way I can NOT include him! He’s fun, handsome, and full of life! Anastasia Borat Black Widow (MCU) Scarlet Witch (MCU) What is your favourite film set in this region? As an American born in the 80s, I remember a ton of action movies set in Eastern Europe because of the Cold War. Teenager me was an avid reader of all things Tom Clancy. I’m going to skip over Cold War era action movies and sit down and remember ones th

Tuesday I had the awesome pleasure of joining the Axis of Good (Joel de la Fuente, Rufus Sewell, Chelah Horsdal, Stephen Root, Jason O’Mara, Frances Turner, Michael Gaston, Sebastian Roché, and Isa Hacket) with Field Team 6 for an evening of textbanking.  Let me tell you about the absolute blast I had!

Sunday, FUNday! Another fun prompt for Seriously Geeky Sundays by the awesome Heather! 4th October – Celebration Time Smiles, tears, drama; celebration in fandom can run the gauntlet of emotion as characters celebrate the small and big moments in life. As fans, we celebrate our love for those characters and the worlds they inhabit through anniversaries and milestones. This week looks at the idea of celebration from both sides of the fourth wall . What is your favourite celebration scene from a fandom? High Castle – When Juliana, Frank, and Ed are reunited in Season Three Star Trek DS9 – The celebration at the  end of the war in Vic Fontane’s club. I loved it, and I loved how Weyoun and Damar got to be included (as humans 😉 ).  Game of Thrones – Sansa’s coronation. It was beautifully done; she deserved to be queen, and can we just talk about her gorgeous gown? This next one is going to sound horrible, but when the Skeksis drink the essence of the guards in T he Dark Crystal Age of Re
