Baby News, Congrats to Jarpad & Gen; Dean's New Jacket; Party On, Garth; The Avengers; Game of Thrones

First and foremost, congratulations to Jarpad and Gen on their new birth baby, Thomas Colton. Sleep, they must. Hope Gen is enjoying motherhood, and the family is doing well and getting rest.

Just Jared spotted Jared on set on Tuesday 27 March. 

There was also sighting of Jensen... It's about bloody time Dean chooses a new leather jacket. And we love it! A few of us talked about how hot his new jacket is -- from the style to its length; from his butt to his legs (again!)

I wonder what the guys at the back are thinking...

My review on Born Again Identity is being delay due to real life. Sorry about that, but I have started. Just need to finish it and I will!! Watch this space. There is something we look forward to... Party On, Garth!!




In other news.. The Avengers are being heavily promoted and it will only get bigger. I saw a really new pop-up board promo at a cinema in Sydney and I was in Hong Kong last week and there it was, I couldn't help it. Twilight, move over!

Sydney

Hong Kong

Marvel also posted this photo, you can see Joss, the two Chris and RDA. I love this photo so much!!!

Before I forget, Game of Throne season two premieres April 1 on HBO. At least I've finished reading A Clash of Kings. There are definitely a few scenes I am so looking forward to see. And I love Dany and her dragons. BRING IT!

This is such a great promo!!! Fantastic stuff!

Review: Supernatural 7.16 Out With the Old

It's back! My life is now in order.. I am sane again. There is a beam of sunshine through the clouds. Thank the lord!

7.16 Out With the Old is written by Jenny Klein and Robert Singer, directed by John F. Showalter. Honestly, I thought this episode was going to be a funny filler based on the stuff I read online including the photos. But I totally wasn't prepared for the gore. The Tchaikovsky stuff and that shot of the ballerina lying dead in blood really gave me goosebumps. I love the return of the curse objects, but obviously the rabbit's foot was a lot funnier. 

I swear that's a Mac. That's a really nice coffee shop by the way.

Out With the Old focused on the curse objects story first, but ultimately we found out a few more things about Dick and his plan. He is funding for an archeological dig and he is building a research center. Dick's plan is international.. there are shits going on everywhere. Will Supernatural eventually go international to kill Dick? Are there any Leviathan activities in Australia? So what exactly is Dick doing? What role will Cas play as season seven approaches to the finale? What happened to Frank? (I am sure he is still alive.)

Before anyone said anything about the Dick plan has been a bit choppy in season seven. I think that's the whole point. Just when you think this story or this town has nothing to do with the Leviathans, you're wrong. Integration is the point. Your dentist could be a Leviathan, your butcher could be a Leviathan, your boss could be a Leviathan, your dog could be a Leviathan. It's the Winchester versus the world. There is no place to hide.

Let's touch Sam. I am glad Sam told Dean about Lucifer's singing Stairway to Heaven to him. We are way pass the keeping secret stuff. Poor Sammy, Lucifer is driving him crazy, he won't shut up, he keeps singing to him (that can't be good if Luci's singing is as bad as Sam!). We know this insanity will drive Sam to break (see next week's trailer). But at least we know Sam is aware that Luci is an illusion.

My silent is your cue... What do you think about this week's episode?

My apology for a short review as I have a suit case to pack. Once this week is over, I will be free again.

Review: Supernatural 7.15 Repo Man

He said "shut up?"

Ben Edlund always delivers. His Repo Man did not disappoint. I for one, love Ben Edlund's scripts. His funny episodes are super funny and his dark episodes are really dark. Ben has been presenting some really challenging ideas to the fans ever since he joined the show -- reality TV show; UFO and fairies; alternate reality where Dean and Sam are Jensen and Jared; and a POV episode (not the usual Supernatural way of story telling and if there is a POV episode, you'd think it should be from Dean's or Sam's POV, right? But having a Cas POV episode was super awesome!!) Edlund's ideas are like...you've seen them somewhere before, but there is always something very Edlund and Supernatural about it. I think Ghost Facers is kinda iconic, don't you think? While Repo Man may not be one of the most iconic episodes Edlund has ever written for the show, but I think the story is very subtle.

One of the highlights of Repo Man is the return of Lucifer. I am certain that I am not the only one who love to see Pellegrino as Lucifer again. That guy can't do no wrong. I've always loved him but his performance in season seven is really growing on me and he has been amazing. We didn't really get to see a whole lot of Lucifer in season five, he only appeared in mytho heavy episodes. But season seven goes outside the square, beyond the wall (whatever) -- what if Lucifer is finally playing the role he should all along i.e. the devil on Sam's shoulder on a daily basis? With the way he's been toying with Sam, the way he's been acting, the way he's been talking to him…there is something very real about this Lucifer.

Sam's hallucination of Lucifer has been an occurring theme in season seven. Stuff like that don't just go aways and get write-off. Lucifer was bagging for attention, and that was funny to watch. Cruel but funny! Lucifer revealed that Sam "hasn't been talking to him" for awhile. So Sam was seeing Lucifer all this time? Sam has been acting pretty ok in the last few episodes, he pulled a couple of good rescues, saved his big brother. Sam's injured hand has almost healed, unless he rips his hand open to the bone, there won't be any pain he could borrow to make Lucifer go away. It's an internal struggle Sam will live with and deal with for the rest of his life. Emotional torture is not fun! Sorry Sam! And Dean is not going to like when he finds out Sam's been talking to his imaginary friend from hell and getting advice from him. What will happen next?

I love how Edlund used the Jeffrey story to underpin Sam's situation. Before you say anything, I am not comparing Sam and Jeffrey, they are NOT the same, Jeffrey is SICK, Sam is a hero. But they both let the devil in. Jeffrey is one sick guy. Like Dean said, "Demons, I get, people are just crazy". Jeffrey likes being possessed because the demon actually gives him strength. WTF?! For Sam, I think he knows that Lucifer is just a hallucination, he will continue to ignore him, occasionally may he tell Lucifer to shut up, and Lucifer will continue to make him see things, but by interacting with the devil in any ways, Sam is letting him in. But this is like Harry and Voldermont -- they had similarities, but Harry was different because of the choices he made. So it's up to Sam. It's always up to Sam.

We have a bit of a debate on Twitter after watching Repo Man. I am a sucker for the details. Let me be! My question was -- did the flashback take us back to season three or four? I think it was season four.

According to the synopsis and on a various review, Repo Man took us back to four years ago when Dean and Sam exorcised a demon from Jeffrey. Don't forget Dean's gap year took place between season five and six. In terms of the maths, Repo Man flashed the story back to season four.

More...

The brothers didn't know too much about Lilith back in season three, they didn't even know Lilith held Dean's contract until Bela revealed that in Time Is On My Side. They weren't actively looking for Lilith but they were desperately looking for a way for get Dean out of the demon deal. So it doesn't make sense if the torture happened in season three.

During the interrogation in Repo Man, Dean and Sam wanted to locate Lilith's lieutenant because they wanted to know where Lilith was. Dean and Sam started looking for Lilith in season four because Castiel told them she was breaking seals to get Lucifer out. The brother picked up their pace towards the end of season four because Lilith was breaking seals fast. They were tricked into believing Lilith was the only one who could break the final seal, she must be killed. The boys were desperate, they were running out of time, they needed information on the location of Lilith. It just makes sense to me that the torture of Jeffrey as seen in Repo Man fitted into the season four arc more.

Does it really matter? Probably not.. LOL. It's just me..

I think Repo Man is going to be one of those episodes that will grow on me over time. It is not as intense as I expected but that's ok, because my heart can't take intensity lately. I am stress enough as is!

Supernatural won't return until Friday March 16. SHIT! What's up with the multi-hiatus lately? I really can't wait for the next episode -- Out With the Old. Three words -- Misha Friggin Collins!

Synopsis: DOUBLE TROUBLE — After a ballerina is found dead from dancing herself to death, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) look into the case and discover the ballet slippers she wore were cursed.  When Dean accidentally touches the shoes the power of the curse starts to take hold of him. John Showalter directed the episode written by Robert Singer & Jenny Klein.

My Next Supernatural Convention - Chicago (October 26-28, 2012)

Supernatural Convention....the Chicago Way!

It's done and done and done! After a very disappointing foreplay with #Nashcon due to change of date (which I understand), I have finally confirmed my schedule for Creation Entertainment: Salute to Supernatural Convention (#ChiCon)in Chicago on October 26-28, 2012. I pray to Chuck, please don't change dates again, I can't take no more disappointment!

After LACon last year, I tried so hard to schedule my next trip. I thought it'd be nice to go to another location, I looked at major locations such as Vancouver and Dallas, but they just don't fit into my schedule. Chicago was shortlisted and I finally worked out my dates! I cannot wait to go to the Windy City. Chicago -- Death's favorite city! And he is going to be there! It's a little creepy, but I really want a photo op with Julian Richings. I won't miss this! And I will definitely give Rob Benedict a hug!

Here is the list of guests so far:

Jensen Ackles
Jared Padalecki
Misha Collins
Jim Beaver
Richard Speightt Jr
Matt Cohen
Kim Rhodes
Julian Richings
Rachel Miner
Rob Benedict

I wonder if they will announce more guest.. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hug Mark Pellegrino. I mean.. the guy is a legend! He has been on half the shows I love -- Lost, Chuck, Supernatural, Being Human, Dexter (yes, I do watch Dexter, but I don't talk about it.) Please be there! Oh, and I'd love to see Guy Bee or Ben Edlund there.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?! You bet I will give you a full report THE LOT! Watch this space!

I swear if no one organise a convention for fans to worship Eric Kripke, I would!

Random Thursday Edition - Supernatural; Misha Collins on Ringer; Arrow; Glee; New Girl

Is it Friday yet?

Friday is coming. Not only we get another episode of Supernatural, we get Mark Friggin Pellegrino! I love this man! I am so intrigued by what he is about to do in the episode, the synopsis looks pretty intense and it's written by Ben Edlund. I can see no wrong there! Ben always delivers! I cannot wait!

The CW stopped doing the Producer Preview for awhile and in the recent months, they started doing it again. But I don't want to watch it, just to avoid any spoilers. But if you are keen, you can watch Bob Singer's clip on SpoilerTV. Is it just me or he looked like Harrison Ford?

Speaking of the CW, the network pulls Secret Circle repeats for Supernatural. There will be two encore episodes of Supernatural The Slice Girls and Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magic Menagerie after The Vampire Diaries on Feb 23 and March 1 (Thursdays). This means, after this week's Repo Man, Supernatural won't return with a new episode until March 9 with 7.16 Out With The Old. That's the plan anyway... Don't we hate the mini hiatus? Anyway, it's good to see Supernatural on their old time slot -- Thursdays 9pm. Source KSiteTV

After Mark Pellegrino's appearance, I am SUPER EXCITED to see Misha Collins again on Supernatural. I think it's been a bit too long since we saw him, I mean...I certainly didn't expect NOT to see him again on the show. Speaking of Misha, he is going to be on Ringer, which is returning to Australia on Monday night. I cannot wait to see Misha on Ringer. TVOvermind has posted a clip of Misha's appearance on Ringer 1.14 Whores Don't Make That Much. I haven't been watching Ringer since it went on a break here before Xmas. It's one of those shows I'll only watch it if it's on TV here. It's ok, I like it. I think Buffy is doing a great job!




HOT Misha is HOT! He is due to come back to Supernatural for 7.17 The Born-Again Identity. E!Online has a spoiler on his return. He is not coming back with on pants on! Oh wait...what?

DC or Smallville fans are familiar with Black Canary (Dinah 'Laurel' Lance) The role was previously played by Alaina Huffman (Stargate Universe). Although it didn't happen in Smallville, Black Canary was like Green Arrow's girlfriend in the comic. So, expect romance or whatever there in CW's new show Arrow. Katie Cassidy has been cast to play Dinah 'Laurel' Lance aka Black Canary. I am getting excited about this show! I hope this will succeed Smallville's place on the CW, and continue to capture DC fans or someone like me who just want to watch a good sci-fi show. Details of Katie's casting can be read on TVLine. I like Katie, I thought her 'Ruby' was great on Supernatural, the original and the best!

You guys know Matt Bomer, right? RIGHT! I know him as Bryce Larkin on Chuck, I have seen may be half an episode of White Collar. Matt Bomer will appear on Glee as Blaine's brother and they are going to sing Duran Duran. SHIT! That's hot and I don't even listen to Duran Duran. Broadway.com has a report on this. Blaine has become my favourite character on Glee. I used to not have a favorite, I mean, I think Rachel is great singer, but I didn't really have a favorite. But now, Blaine has taken the crown, I like the fact that Darren Criss is doing more numbers and he is good.. he is really good! This guy is freakishly talented! I am so glad he is on the show!

Oh and...Matt, I always knew!

Finally, I am falling in love with New Girl. I love Zooey Deschanel. I was watching 500 Days of Summer on the weekend and Here Comes Your Man by Pixies has been on repeat on my iPad. Man! How did I miss this before? I've only seen her in...wait for it...Tin Man. I know! Hey, I like that show! She is one of those actress you won't get sick of watching because her characters are so different from other female roles in the chic-flicks genre and she is so likable in New Girl. I found myself laughing so hard last week while watching the show. Love her!

I need a lot of hugs in coming weeks, real life does suck! I am on a few big projects and I am as calm as Captain Picard, but when people around you start freaking out and panic about anything and everything, I am like.. CHILL DUDES.. Go away and take your negativity with you. A big change is coming. I just want my life back.
