ConStar Emmys, September 2015: Emmys Month, TV Shows constar writes, Emmy Award, emmy statuette, emmys month, how things are made, national academy of television arts and sciences, television academy, the emmys 1

ALSO KNOWN AS THAT TIME GRANT GUSTIN READ OUR MVPS. First, he simply replied “thank you” to our MVP post on Twitter. THEN, THE NEXT DAY, he quote tweeted it. As in more than 12 hours later. As in he kept it open, read it, and then decided to SHARE IT AGAIN. We’re all freaking out […]

While I’ve been a bit behind, here are the recaps for the Castle season 7 finale and the last two episodes of Arrow Season 3! Castle 7.23 Review: “Hollander’s Woods” Castle ends an imbalanced season with a decent episode that could have served as the series finale had the stars not signed their contracts and […]
