Jane Espenson Talks To Crazy Sexy Geeks

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:50 am, December 19th

Jane Espenson has a resume that makes most writers (myself included) very jealous. She’s worked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, Torchwood, Dollhouse, Game of Thrones and Warehouse 13 just to name a few. I recently added a new high point to my geek life when I got to speak to Espenson on my podcast with Alan Kistler, Crazy Sexy Geeks. We spoke about her new gig on ABC’s Once Upon A Time, her marriage equality web series Husbands, how young women writers can break into the industry and more! Hit the jump for some highlights.

The Best Video About a Dinosaur Laser Fight You Will See Today or Ever [Video]

(That editor = Me.) But since it started blowing up all over the Internet (and showing up on The Daily What, where it will not be ignored, Daniel), we felt it was cool to post it, but also because has dinosaurs, lasers, and science in it. So watch this video, and find out how much more enlightened your day will be once you’ve witnessed a Real Live Dinosaur Laser Fight!

(And props to the animator, EGORAPTOR!)

Jimmy Fallon Makes Us Feel Totally Popular! [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 11:11 am, March 2nd

Whoa! Jimmy Fallon totally mentioned The Mary Sue in his monologue Monday night, (right around 2:10 in this video). We missed it the first time around because when it aired some of us were performing a dramatic reading of a pornographic TMNT fanfiction in Chinatown, then went home and watched Metalocalypse instead. And others of us just moved and have no television.

But there are so much more lady nerds than you think, Jimmy! Unless this is just payback for that time I chased you down the street …

Momtagonists: 7 Moms Who Get to Be The Hero

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, and we thought we’d spend this week talking about moms who get to be the heroes.

15 Women Who Could Direct Catching Fire Instead of the Actual Candidates

Given all the attention The Hunger Games franchise is getting for having a strong female protagonist, it's only natural that talk should turn to the question of whether any female directors have been included on Hollywood's short list for the first movie's sequel, Catching Fire.
