The Inheritance: The premier episode in which our heroes assault a child & steal her doll

Dude. What a fantastic first episode, no lie. But my title is keeping it 💯 because that's what happens. For real, though, what a great way to meet our awesome trio & the titular Uncle Lewis, amiright?

We get to see Lewis dragged to hell, meet Micki's douchelord fiance Lloyd, then the bash em over the head meet cute of Micki & Ryan, Jack coming to collect payment

And holding up Micki & Ryan with a goddamned sword after they've sold off all the items & inform him that Lewis had gone to that great coven in the beyond. Micki's constant bralessness & Ryan's comic book obsession is established, along with Jack being the most awesome Wiccan pimp who growls diablery this side of anywhere.

Also, EVIL DOLL! Baby Sarah Polley doing the absolute most with her menacing side eye after the doll Vita kills her stepmother in one of the most hilarious death scenes ever put to film. Our heroes busting into her house after a failed attempt to retrieve Miss Vita the night before. Like y'all do not know this family & just crash in guns (Micki's awesome unfettered rack) a blazing.

Exhibit A. You guyyyyysss. So anyhoover, the final showdown is amazeballs. Micki getting terrorized on the playground, Ryan's master of the obvious "don't let go!" line, then of course, the child assault as Ryan snags that doll while whipping lil Sarah Polley off the merry go round like a boss. Mission Accomplished. Chef's motherfucking kiss.

And thus began my long, decades old love affair with this gem of syndicated Canadian television that spawned a pantload of smutty fanfic penned by yours truly & multiple hours of genuinely entertained laughter. Viva le Friday the 13th: The Series, bro namaths. From here to eternity.

@1shirt2shirtredshirtdeadshirt The novel with McCoy in command is Diane Duane's Doctors Orders. Recommended.

You don't specify which others you're looking for but here are the ones I can identify:

"There's a TOS book that's a musical" John M Ford, How Much for Just the Planet?

"We meet Jack Crusher (erm, the OG) when 4 timelines start overlapping and he's a bit unhinged" Peter David, Q Squared

"Kirk gets cloned, and his clone becomes the sub of an evil invincible super genius and its all very gay" Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreadth, The Price of the Phoenix and The Fate of the Phoenix

"George Kirk was Robert April's first officer on the first ever mission of the unnamed starship with the Naval Construction Contract 1701" "Robert is a hard-core pacifist and has to turn command over to George whenever it's time to fire weapons" Diane Carey, The Final Frontier and Best Destiny - superb, recommended

"Data becomes fully human for a couple of days and it's really sweet" Michael Jan Friedman?, Metamorphosis

"Spock has a son in the past with Zarabeth" A.C. Crispin, Yesterday's Son

"We find out how the Romulans and Vulcans split" Diane Duane, Spock's World

"There's a Star Trek TOS/Here Come the Brides crossover novel" "It had cameos from The Doctor (as in, Who), Han Solo, Starbuck and others" Barbara Hambly, Ishmael - the Cartwrights, one of the Mavericks, and Paladin also appear

"Wanna know how Riker and Troi met?" Peter David, Izmadi

"Kirk is shot on the bridge and dies" "Kirk gets better" Vonda McIntyre, The Entropy Effect

"They watch 3D holos of old Doctor Who episodes in the Enterprise rec room" "The Enterprise also has an AI named Moira, which was Zora long before Zora" Diane Duane, The Wounded Sky - Moira also appears in My Enemy, My Ally and Spock's World, all recommended

Kirk comes back from the dead, saves the galaxy repeatedly, has an intersex child (who identifies as male) with a Romulan/Klingon hybrid" "Kirk beats up Worf" "Kirk's child has superpowers" "Kirk's child saves the galaxy at age 6" "The Kirk stuff is 100% ignored in the other novels" William Shatner with Judy and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, the Tiberius (Moirror Kirk) trilogy - the Reeves-Steves make these worth reading even if you don't like or don't think you'll like Shatner's writing; they were the story editors on Enterprise season four. (I don't remember the Worf bit) (maybe it's from one of their other trilogies) (there are, I think, three Shatner/Reeves-Stevens Kirk trilogies)

"Lwaxana Troi meets Q, and it goes as well as you'd expect" Peter David, Q-In-Law

Random spoilerific reasons to read Star Trek novels, with little to no context:

Ro/Quark is a thing

A Jem'Hadar joins DS9, tries to fit in but eventually snaps and tries to kill everybody

You learn the origins and final fate of the Borg

A thinly-veiled Dr. House clone joins the Voyager crew

Geordi briefly has 2 girlfriends at once (due to different writers not co-ordinating enough, but still)

There's a TOS book that's a musical

There are YA stories about Jake and Nog making mischief on DS9

YA stories about Worf, Geordi, Picard, Beverly, Kirk, Spock and McCoy at SFA

YA series about the Kelvinverse gang (including Gaila!) as cadets, taking on a drug problem at SFA and a very unique Borg scout in San Francisco

We very briefly meet the people who are to Q what the Q are to humanity

Janeway/Chakotay is a thing

Kirk's first mission in command of the Enterprise! Erm, at least twice.

Kirk was married between TOS and TMP

Her name was Lori

In the future, you have yearly marriage contracts that you either update or you don't and I think that's amazing

Trip didn't die! He faked his death to join Section 31 and go undercover as a Romulan

It's not great, tbh

The ENT books get better after the Romulan wars though, it's proper founding of the Federation stuff

We meet Jack Crusher (erm, the OG) when 4 timelines start overlapping and he's a bit unhinged

Teenage Kirk stole a car and his choice was go to jail or join Starfleet

What happened when Voyager got home? Seven broke up with Chakotay like 30 pages in

Kirk gets cloned, and his clone becomes the sub of an evil invincible super genius and its all very gay

George Kirk was Robert April's first officer on the first ever mission of the unnamed starship with the Naval Construction Contract 1701

Robert is a hard-core pacifist and has to turn command over to George whenever it's time to fire weapons

Data becomes fully human for a couple of days and it's really sweet

They never say "wristwatch" or "phone", it's always "wrist chrono" or "personal comm"

There are gays but they don't say that word because it's the 1990's and Rick Berman runs the franchise

Spock has a son in the past with Zarabeth

Everyone in the post-Nemesis era does spy missions all the time non stop, as if Starfleet has abandoned exploring the cosmos for doing Space Mission: Impossible

Bashir does it better than anyone else, he takes on Section 31 from the inside

Remember Control? It's from the novels, except the novels do it SO MUCH BETTER.

Remember how we never found out who Future Guy was? We do.

It's very underwhelming, nobody we know

We find out how the Romulans and Vulcans split

Surak was a Vulcan internet blogger

A Borg Cube eats Pluto

Janeway dies

Janeway gets better

At least one TOS book features a wizard

There's a Star Trek TOS/Here Come the Brides crossover novel

It had cameos from The Doctor (as in, Who), Han Solo, Starbuck and others

Whole book series about Section 31

Whole book series about the Department of Temporal Investigations

One time they do the Bill and Ted thing to escape confinement and it works

Wanna know how Riker and Troi met?

Wanna know what Picard got up to on the Stargazer?

Andorians have 4 sexes and it's very complicated

Data comes back from the dead as Data 2.0, and it was fresh and exciting because it happened long before ST: Picard did it twice.

Lal comes back too and we get father/daughter android stuff! They have a home and everything but keep having to save the universe

One time Mirror Seven is led around on a leash naked on Terok Nor

Geordi becomes captain of the USS Challenger, decides it's not for him because plot, and goes back to engineering on the Enterprise

Kirk is shot on the bridge and dies

Kirk gets better

They watch 3D holos of old Doctor Who episodes in the Enterprise rec room

The Enterprise also has an AI named Moira, which was Zora long before Zora

The TOS crew get together for one last mission. About three times.

There's a Perry Mason book except it's about Kirk's lawyer from that TOS episode

Data 2.0 owns and runs a massive gambling empire on Orion

Spock keeps randomly showing up everywhere in the TNG era

Scotty keeps randomly showing up everywhere in the TNG era

Bones keeps randomly showing up everywhere in the TNG era

You're on Tumblr so you already know about Killing Time

There's a guy named McKenzie Calhoun and he's a total badass and captains a ship of weirdos and misfits

Kirk comes back from the dead, saves the galaxy repeatedly, has an intersex child (who identifies as male) with a Romulan/Klingon hybrid

Kirk beats up Worf

Kirk's child has superpowers

Kirk's child saves the galaxy at age 6

The Kirk stuff is 100% ignored in the other novels

About 50% of the novels are ignored in the other 50%, and the ones that are meant to be in direct continuity with each other aren't always quite

Just like the TV shows and movies, then

Lwaxana Troi meets Q, and it goes as well as you'd expect

Someone tells Data, yes you idiot you had emotions all along and he's like, oh shit you're right

McCoy is left in command of the Enterprise as a joke by Kirk, who is then immediately kidnapped

Ro Laren is captain of Deep Space Nine

Picard/Beverly is a thing, they get married and have a child named Rene. No running away and raising your kid in secret here

Riker and Troi are married, serve on the Titan together with a bunch of adorable weirdos and have a daughter named Tasha

You get to watch all the 24th century characters die horribly in the end along with their entire universe. Holy fuck it's a bleak horror show. Personally, I love it. But if that's not your cup of tea I'd skip the Coda trilogy

A Serious Man (2009)

Comedy, Drama |

A Serious Man is a black comedy-drama film written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Set in 1967, the film stars Michael Stuhlbarg as a Minnesota Jewish man whose life crumbles both professionally and personally, leading him to questions about his faith.

The film attracted a positive critical response, including a Golden Globe Award nomination for Stuhlbarg, a place on both the American Film Institute’s and National Board of Review’s Top 10 Film Lists of 2009, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In a prologue, a Jewish man in an unnamed 19th-century Eastern European shtetl tells his wife that he was helped on his way home by Reb Groshkover, whom he has invited in for soup. She says Groshkover is dead and the man he invited must be a dybbuk. Groshkover arrives and laughs off the accusation, but she plunges an ice pick into his chest. Bleeding, he exits their home into the snowy night.

In 1967, Larry Gopnik is a professor of physics living in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. His wife, Judith, tells him that she needs a get so she can marry widower Sy Ableman, with whom she has fallen in love.

Poison Pen is definitely one of the most unintentionally hilarious episodes ever, fight me.

Seriously, look at Micki in this picture & imagine how anyone could possibly clock her as a dude.

Sis didn't even get Dude lessons or anything, they just strapped down the girls & threw her in there. Then, the bonkers monastery with the Great Value Pondy monk & deliciously evil villain with his "Pre-meditating" line sends me into orbit. Oh, my sides! For why was there the ever convenient glory hole for Pondy to spy on Micki in the shower? Why are Ryan & Micki so comfy as to sleep in their undies as they share a single room?

Like??? They had just inherited the store, lol. This is *only* the 2nd episode, and they're already parading around each other in underthings, lol. Also, Micki's impeccable girly French manicure perpetually takes me out in the scene where she finds the cursed pen in the villain's office. They really did the very least to make her a convincing boy monk named 'Simon'.

The kicker is the end of the ep when Micki exclaims how great it is to be a girl again & I'm like ??? Yo, you never, ever stopped, & scream-die laughing.

Jesum crow, this show really is just the greatest thing ever.

Friday’s Curse

An old antique dealer made a pact with the Devil to sell cursed antiques. When he dies, his store is inherited by his niece Micki and her cousin Ryan. With the help of Jack Marshak, they fight to retrieve the antiques from the people who bought them to stop them from causing harm. Friday’s Curse syndicated from http://ift.tt/2rLj3l6

[f13theseries]

Tails I Live, Heads You Die

Each season was quite a bit different to the others in Friday the 13th. By this time, the Curious Goods crew were becoming used to their lot in retrieving cursed items that 'Uncle' Lewis Vendredi had sold, typically to either fellow servants of Satan or people completely unaware of the items' curses.

Several of the episodes in season two dealt with Micki, Ryan, and Jack being forced to come to terms with the difficulty of their chosen lives, especially considering their successes at retrieving the cursed items marked them as targets by none other than the Devil and his minions. 'Tails I Live, Heads You Die' really exemplifies this, with not only the main villains being a literally diabolical cult, but also with one of the main characters facing very real death.

Good

The whole episode is really one of the best: interesting item, great interaction between the characters, and a minimum of extraneous cast. It illustrates how Jack, Micki, and Ryan relate to each other, as well as how the constant battle to retrieve the cursed items wears on them. When Micki dies, albeit temporarily, it shows even deeper facets of Jack and Ryan and how difficult it is to face the reality that one of them has paid the ultimate price.

I'd also like to add that, despite an alarming and relatively recent trend to kill off main characters needlessly, this episode loses no impact at all by reviving Micki by the end. She is certainly not unscathed, and Jack and Ryan are also deeply affected by the occurrence. A character need only be put in serious danger or injured -- or even perish temporarily, like Micki -- not killed off, to have a real impact.

Friday the 13th was so often a show wherein many characters the audience are introduced to are destroyed by the cursed items. Most of the characters and the world were realistic and believable, and because of that it wasn't always a happy world. But as far as the main characters were concerned, as an audience we could be generally certain that they would return to us every week, to keep fighting the good fight against sure evil.

However, this episode did seem to foreshadow the beginning of season three, wherein a real and persistent shake-up of the main group occurred.

Bad

It's difficult to try and find something negative about this episode. I really do consider it one of the best of the series. If I had to choose something, it would be that such an interesting plot and strong villains could have been stretched to two episodes. Even though the coin would return in season three, the quite chilling and memorable villains would not return as they were here. Both seasons one and three had two-part stories, but season two had none; this would definitely have managed to make an engaging two-parter.

Best Part: A tie between Ryan and Jack reacting to losing Micki, and then later Micki restored to life.

Cursed Item: The Coin of Ziocles

After All

The first time I saw this episode, I was shocked. And every subsequent time, it still surprises me and unsettles me. Micki is my favourite character, and the one with whom I always identified, so this episode is really quite stunning. It's also touching, seeing Ryan and Jack react to their loss, and genuinely clever how they manage to trick the villain into undoing the damage...more or less. It certainly raises plenty of questions with no easy answers.

Taking a second to show some appreciation for that most awesome of Wiccan Pimps
