Hello, my name is Arlene Allen, and I love all things nerd: genre tv and movies, books, loud rock and roll music, kittens, conventions, books, graphic novels and superheroes, RPG and tabletop games, and did I say books? Oh, yes. I spent 25 years as a librarian (nerd) mainly working with youth (creating nerds), a number of years as a teacher (more nerd indoctrination). I have my own spawn, leveled up to 22 and my partner in nerdiness. As a nerdy writer, I have found a home at Talk Nerdy With Us.

Tonight, our Storybrooke storybook comes to its conclusion. Despite the happy endings we know (we hope!) we will get, the night will be bittersweet for the show’s millions of fans across the globe.

Since Matt Lanter of Timeless was our Man Crush of the week, I felt it most appropriate to feature his co-star and the female lead of one of my favorite shows on television right now.
