From Battlestar Galactica to Beverly Hills 90210 to the BBC, Pop Vultures covers TV with a careful blend of snark and love, providing analysis, reviews and recaps of a wide range of television programs.
Who are the Vultures?
Marcia started this blog in an attempt to justify her couch potato ways with lengthy and self-indulgent posts about television. Since then, she has further embraced her love of entertainment and is currently working on a masters in Film & Television Studies. She has no idea what she will do with this degree, but it does allow her to sound really clever when discussing the narrative construction of Veronica Mars. She is an American living in Glasgow and is very grateful for the iTunes account that feeds her addiction and saves her from endless episodes of EastEnders or Property Ladder. Marcia likes kittens, sunsets, red wine and peaceful mountain streams.

Anna Carey is a journalist who lives with her boyfriend and their bear-eared cat in Dublin. She pretends that she doesn’t watch much television but does really. Her favourite programmes ever include Buffy, The Mighty Boosh, Doctor Who and Freaks and Geeks, and she is a staunch defender of the true genius of Coronation Street.
Plattie is Pop Vultures’ London-based BBC correspondent. She has a deep and abiding respect for the Beeb, based on a childhood in which her mum wouldn’t let her watch any of the other channels because they ‘weren’t educational’. Now, Plattie has seen Strictly Come Dancing, so she questions the idea that everything the BBC produces can be described as ‘educational’, but she does know that most of it is good, a lot of it is great, and some of it is so terrible that it has a genius all its own.
