Media Mania: Young Sheldon

Young Sheldon

From Google:

 For young Sheldon Cooper, it isn't easy growing up in East Texas. Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naive Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. His father, George, is struggling to find his way as a high school football coach and as father to a boy he doesn't understand. Sheldon's mother, Mary, fiercely protects and nurtures her son. For 12 years on "The Big Bang Theory," audiences came to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. In "Young Sheldon," audiences get a chance to meet him in childhood, as he embarks on his innocent, awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become. Jim Parsons, who plays the adult version of Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory," narrates.

         I was a big fan of The Bang Theory, so when my youngest asked if  wanted to start watching Young Sheldon, I was all in!

Being a Big Ban Theory watcher, I did know some about Sheldon's life growing up but I understood everything so much better watching Young Sheldon!

Sheldon's siblings (twin) Missy and older brother Georgie are funny as hell characters, but Meemaw steels the show! His parents are so opposite from each other and that makes for some good drama and comedy! All the supporting actors also add so much to each episode! 

The last season was shorter than the rest but so emotional They tackled that story line perfectly, It was both heartfelt and heartbreaking!

This is a show I would do a re-watch on defiantly!

I'll  give Mandy and Georgie's First Marriage a watch when Paramount puts season 1 back up for streaming!

I give Young Sheldon 5 out of 5 drinks!

Media Mania: Podcasts Crime Junkies

 

Crime Junkie is the #1 true crime podcast, featuring weekly episodes on missing persons, unsolved murders, and mysterious deaths. Hosted by Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat, 

it’s the go-to podcast for true crime fans who want to stay informed, entertained, 

and inspired to take action. 

I love true crime! I maybe even slightly obsessed with it! I found the Crime Junkies Podcast almost 2 years ago and I was hooked. I started listening to it every Monday and keeping up with the new episodes and just catching up on the old ones when I can. I still have not listened to EVERY one of them! In the car and when I'm donating plasma I listen to podcast!

I have to say I love the why Ashley tells a story, the way she deep dives into each case and Brit is a sweetheart! These ladies a huge part of my Monday morning!

This podcast is not just for entertainment, they get word out on open and unsolved cases and through their listeners and their endless fight for justice case have been solved!

I admire Ashely and Brit completely for their ongoing efforts to bring light to these cases! I would even go as far as saying that they are my heroes!

I give the Crime Junkies Podcast 5 out of 5 drinks!

Media Mania: Stranger Things Season 5

 

Stranger Things Season 5

This entire journey of 5 seasons took close to 10 years! 

My kids and I dove right in when season 1 released and we were quickly obsessed!

On a side note my kids always made fun of me for listen to 80's music but Stanger Things made everything 80's cool again and now they love 80's music!

The characters are incredible and the story is gripping and full of suspense! Loved all the family and friendship bonds that we so well conveyed over the seasons and of course the beauty and angst of young love!

Stanger Things started in 2016 with season 1 with 8 episodes!

Strange things are afoot in Hawkins, Indiana, where a young boy's sudden disappearance unearths a young girl with otherworldly powers.

Season 2 came out  in 2017 having 9 episodes!

It's been nearly a year since Will's strange disappearance. But life's hardly back to normal in Hawkins. Not even close.

Season 3 came out in 2019 giving us 9 episodes! (2 year gap is not bad)

Budding romance. A brand-new mall. And rabid rats running toward danger. It's the summer of 1985 in Hawkins ... and one summer can change everything.

 Season 4 came out in 2022 with 9 episodes (3 years gap here, we understood covid and all)

Darkness returns to Hawkins just in time for spring break, igniting fresh terror, disturbing memories — and an ominous new threat.

Season 5 came out in 2025 an with 8 episode finally! (3 year gap -but this one seemed like forever) With 3 Chapter releases!

The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by rifts. Vecna has vanished and the government has placed the town under military quarantine, forcing Eleven back into hiding. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone together, one last time.

 My Review of Season 5:

After such a long wait, I decided I wasn't going to watch any of the episodes until they were all out. At 4 pm News Years Eve I went in and finished on New Years Day,

My thoughts are I felt it was too rushed and had too much filler and not enough solid story line, I mean they had almost 4 YEARS! I was expecting to be wowed! 

I however did think the ending scene was fitting.

What I didn't like...

The Henry story line went on and on

The end battle was over in minutes - this should have been epic and I was very disappointed.

How did Max graduate when she was in a coma for TWO YEARS?

And I choose to believe El is out there somewhere!

All in All I did love the series as a whole but the last season not so much!

I give Season 5 of Stranger Thing 3 out of 5 drinks!

 See you next Friday!

Writing a Wolf Story When You're a Vampire Girl

The more stories I wrote and read, the more my head kept coming up with all questions I had about the series and I really wanted to explore them. I felt so fortunate that fanfiction allows us to do just that.

I always wondered what would of happen if Alice didn't see Bella jump? And what if the Cullen's never came back? 

 Would Bella and Jakes relationship progress from friendship to more?

I think it would, but I was worried about the imprinting thing. If Bella was really meant for Jake why didn't he imprint on her? I really gave this a ton of thought (really more than I ever needed too) I may have figured it out, or how  I think it should go...lol!

Being a vampire girl I was shocked that I even want to explore this, but I really dove in!. So, for this story I re-read New Moon!

Writing this story was so much because the wolves are full of life (unlike the vampires...lol.. I do crack myself up! )  and the reservation seems to be a fun place when vampires aren't around!

I hope you enjoy reading this short story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

~ By Your Side~

Summary

What if Alice doesn't see Bella jump off the cliff?

Bella is given the chance to explore her feelings for Jake and begins to see him in a different light.

A simple kiss changes everything and passion ignites.

But trouble is not far behind.

Can Jake and the pack defeat this evil before it's too late?
