Gotham Recap – Viper
Hello! Back again for the next episode of Gotham: Viper. The episode opens with Alfred asking young Bruce to go for a walk. As always, Bruce is concentrating on solving the murders of his parents and cares not for fresh air and sunshine. (I’m wondering, when does this little dude do his lessons?

It continues to amaze me how much music can not only soothe the savage beast but also bare one’s soul. Judith Graham holds her own in her zombie-proofed fortress that was once her childhood home. Through the foresight of her survivalist parents, she’s set for at least a year, but overwhelming loneliness and crushing boredom drives her out into the deserted, yet

What's your Favorite Bond Theme? Free For All Fridays
I was going over my Google Playlists and I found one that I created a long time ago with the James Bond themes. Back in the day, I would never miss Bond movies on the television. Being a woman of a certain age, my favorite Bond was Sean Connery, next George Lazenby (even though he only appeared in one Bond film) and I tolerated Roger Moore. By the time the franchise worked its way around to Timothy Dalton (yuk!) and Pierce Brosnan, I had lost interest. Thought my interest was somewhat revived with the new Bond, Daniel Craig, my heart still belonged to Sean. Never mind the movies, though, what about the songs? The iconic songs that told you that a cool movie was about to start? Many of these songs were sung by the hot artists at the time and were almost always chart worthy. For this blog post,
