Written by: Anne Hawkinson In the Season 2 finale (“Dragonfly in Amber”), Roger asks Claire, “How do you say goodbye to that one person you’ve loved most in the world?” Claire answers, “Whether you want to say goodbye or not, they’re gone and you have to go on living without them.” Roger is referring to…

Written by: Anne Hawkinson It’s summer, the heat index is unapologetic, and we’re in the very real throes of Droughtlander.

Written by: Anne Hawkinson Wow. I thought I’d seen the last of Laoghaire, that trouble-making, scheming, two-faced —–. Good riddance, and all that. You get my drift.
