Episode 116 TV Chemistry Without Closure – The Couples That Never Were Have you ever watched a TV show and thought, “Why aren’t they together yet?” or even worse— “Wait… they’re NEVER going to be together?” Yeah, me too. That feeling of watching two characters with electric chemistry flirt, fight, or share deep, vulnerable moments, only to see the show keep them apart (or pair them with someone else entirely) is one of the most bittersweet parts of being a fan. In my latest KDTime episode, “The What-Ifs of TV Couples,” I dove headfirst into the world of TV duos who had the spark, the tension, the moments—but not the relationship . This blog post is the perfect companion to that episode, expanding on some of the fan-favorite couples who gave us everything but the romance. 🔍 The Cases of Almost Love Let’s start with one of the most mind-bending duos: Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler from Sherlock . Their relationship was all mind games and meaningful stares. Sherlock admired Irene’...

Episode 115 6 Spooky Stories That Were Frighteningly Fun to Read In this episode I am jointed by my best friend in reading some fun Spooky Stories! I'm just as surprised as you are to read that we decided this was a good idea. Although the stories are spooky fun some of them really gave us the heebie-jeebies.

KDTime: It's Terror Time Again

Episode 114 The Concept of Zombies in Pop Culture: Origins, Science & Apocalypse Scenarios by Kay Dee Zombies. They're slow, they're fast, they're brain-hungry, and they just won’t stay dead. Over the decades, the zombie has transformed from obscure folklore to pop culture powerhouse, shuffling its way into movies, books, TV shows, video games, and even our scientific imaginations. But where did the idea of zombies come from? Could they exist in real life? And what would actually happen if the undead did rise? In this episode I had to sink our collective teeth into the evolution of zombies, both fictional and factual. Origins of the Zombie: From Folklore to Fear Here's where I started! The word "zombie" has roots in Haitian folklore. In Vodou tradition, a zombi is a reanimated corpse brought back to life by a sorcerer or bokor. These zombies were not ravenous monsters but rather controlled servants with no will of their own. This spiritual and cultural co...

Episode 112 👑 Crowning the Legends of NYC Sports By Kay Dee New York isn't just the city that never sleeps — it’s the city that never stops competing . Whether it’s baseball in the Bronx, basketball at the Garden, or football across the river, the Big Apple is a battleground where only the best earn respect — and maybe even the title of “King of New York.” But here’s the twist: being king in this town doesn’t mean you're male.

KDTime: Were These Villians Right?

Episode 111 When we think of animated movies, it's easy to label the characters: heroes wear capes or crack jokes, and villains laugh maniacally or cause chaos. But what if the so-called “bad guys” actually had a point? On Episode 111 of KDTIME , I dove into the gray areas of animated storytelling, where some villains might not be as evil as they seem—and might even be... right? Let’s be clear: their methods were often questionable (to put it mildly), but their motives ? Surprisingly relatable. 🔍 Moral Complexity in Animated Worlds Cartoons aren't just for laughs—they can hold up a mirror to real-life struggles, from systemic inequality to personal trauma. The line between hero and villain can get blurry when we start asking why these characters do what they do. Here are a few villains I explored who might deserve a second look: 💡 Villains with a Point 1. Syndrome – The Incredibles Buddy Pine just wanted to be like his hero, Mr. Incredible. When he was rejected, his dream tu...

Episode 110 📺 TV Shows That Deserved More Than One Season There’s a special kind of heartbreak reserved for TV shows that hook you in , make you care about the characters, and then vanish after one season. Whether it was low ratings, network politics, or just bad timing, some series never got the chance to reach their full potential. In this episode, I'm giving flowers to those one-season wonders that left us wanting more in a part two show that follows after episode 95. 🎶 The Get Down (Netflix, 2016) A Baz Luhrmann masterpiece dripping in 70s flavor, hip-hop history, and soul. The Get Down told the story of the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx with stunning visuals and a killer soundtrack. Despite its high production cost and uneven rollout, it had heart, swagger, and an authenticity that fans still rave about. Justice for Ezekiel and Mylene! 😂 Enlisted (Fox, 2014) One of the most underrated military comedies ever. It had charm, genuine laughs, and heartwarming moments. The bon...
