We have a few things to report in case you missed it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr […]

We had to go with the car on this one! Description: We ride along with Diana and Matthew as they navigate their way back to their present, ready to face the future. We also get a little glimpse back at the 16th Century with our old friends, Andrew and Annie. AND we visit with Will, […]

Let’s try this personality thing again, shall we? Description: We’re “on the tens” once again, and it’s time for a character study!

The ballroom at the Sofitel, Los Angeles.  Photo/Lilly Derway The title of this post is the opposite of what Hamish would suggest to Matthew as far as how to relay a tale, but we imagine he’d forgive us this once for our arrangement.  🙂 Our final perspectives are from the people who made AllSoulsCon (ASC) happen […]

Yeah, Mary. We need a witch. Description: Our adventures continue! Our present day matriarchs are concerned about our witch and vampire. Did they make it? And back in time, Matthew’s past is both a help and a hindrance to their cause. Mary Sidney? Helpful … maybe? Father Hubbard, hindrance, definitely(!) … probably(?) As viewers, do […]

Description: This is the On-The-Tens where we decide to (over) analyze the S3 trailer. SPOILER ALERT!

Edward Kelley Description: Despite repeated attempts to have a proper sit-down with Edward Kelley, Diana is not having a lot of luck; what she is managing to do is to get more and more tangled up in Emperor Rudolf’s world and imagination. Finally, through a tangled network of connections via the “Real Housewives of Prague,” […]

“Beware the witch with the blood of the …” Wait! How’d did that prophecy go? 😜 Description: Diana finds herself tied up, and negotiating with two creatures who have decided they hate her, and want her gone.
