Shiri’s Favorite Media Moments of 2014
The Arrow mid-season finale (Ras a’Gul! Swords! Matsuo! Nyssa! People freaking out because they don’t know about Lazarus Pits! A.T.O.M.! Felicity “Why Does This Keep Happening To Me” Smoak)
No one’s quite sure who did this but it is perfect.
Guardians of the Galaxy (the dancing in the abandoned alien temple scene, “I will not fall prey to your pelvic sorcery,” Drax “See, Metaphor” the Destroyer, Groot, incongruous tape decks, “I forgot you were here,” Glen Close as Nova Prime, “I’m an a-hole but I’m not 100% dick,” John C Riley, and the general reminder that both comics, and comic book movies, are supposed to be fun)
The Flash (adorable Barry Allen, “his arms are like, twice the size of yours,” Little Barry and Joe, “You shot me in the back!” Cisco, Firestorm, Wentworth Miller camping it the fuck up, Barry trying to get drunk)
The Constantine mid-season finale, ingeniously entitled The Saint of Last Resorts (asshole John, sexy nuns, badass Zed, summoning demons, getting fucked by demons, having your summoning bite you in the ass, having just enough of a conscience to save babies, trees growing skin fruit, moments that make you go “EW!” and throw up in your mouth a little, The House of Mysteries [told you so, Jon], husband geek squeeing like 2 year old girl at the mention of a very specific demon, and he totally smoked)

Welcome to Nightvale (creepy, absurd, fabulous thing for your earholes)
Serial (if you’re not listening, you don’t deserve to know)
The Nerdist interview with Benedict Cumberbatch (who is surprisingly down to earth, seems to be a generally nice dude, is very smart, does great impressions, and, most importantly, after telling everyone to enjoy their burrito, proceeds to make various fart sounds from a fart app he likes for at least two straight minutes)
Peng-wing. Etc.
