This is where things get interesting.

More Legend of the Seeker news: from this post here gives details about how to contact STARZ, since it seems the more people expressing their demands about wanting the show the more probable it'll become a surefire deal. Still not getting my hopes up just yet, but from the sound of things this definitely looks promising especially from the report the poster gave about talking to someone from the network there was so optimism there. *still crossing fingers*

In other news, M. Night Shyamalan continues to be a douchebag. Also, this is the first I've heard of him possibly having been close to directing the Harry Potter movies. I shudder to imagine how that would have turned out...

I still haven't read any spoilers whatsoever and I'd like to keep it that way so please don't tell me anything, but judging from people's reactions to what has been released I think I might take a break from Supernatural for a while? I don't know. I've just not been incredibly enthusiastic about anything with the sixth season, the fact that they even have a sixth season leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. This is what I dreaded would happen, actually. I want to be reassured that this is just an over-exaggeration, that it's not as bad as it seems to be, but I can't help but feel I'm going to be in disappointment and rage with whatever is being planned for it, and mostly because of Sera Gamble but that's another rant altogether. They really should have ended it properly with the Apocalypse, because right now I'm just kind of over the Sam and Dean melodramatics. I'd take an angel mythology spin-off over hearing the same-old Winchester angsty manpain anyday, to be brutally honest with you.

I'm not leaving fandom or anything, this is just how I'm feeling lately. It might change, it might not, only time will tell. I'm still sticking around, especially in the Dean/Castiel and Castiel/Misha Collins parts of fandom because, how can I not? I love you guys, sfm. ♥

This is half the reason why I've been going to other fandoms more recently, to kind of get my mind away from possible trainwreckage and onto new shiny toys. Which, btw, himhilien? Totally am downloading all of Avatar: The Last Airbender right now. I planned on doing that anyway since I am really liking the series, though since we no longer have OnDemand I can no longer see the random bubble trivia pop-ups. So I has a sad. :(

'I have liked a few of M. Night's other movies, but he really just hasn't been as good with his stuff since The Sixth Sense, which is the strongest out of all his movies.'
True. Personally I've always thought that he fell so much in love with twist endings that the structure of his movies fall apart because of them.

'I'm so indifferent with SPN right now that I'm going in with extremely low expectations unless surprise me with how they can improve and fix the mess they've already created.'
Pretty much. I had such high hopes for season five, but it turned out to be the season disappointment and missed opportunities. I still don't like the idea of the show 'going back to basics' (if that's code for more of Sam and Dean never ending brotherly angst, I'll have to pass. I have more than enough of brotherly angst in the first three seasons) and continuing after THE Apocalypse.

He seems to rely on those twists that the story doesn't even matter, which can get rather boring and lose the storytelling factor altogether.

Though I admit the last movie I liked of his was The Village, which might be an unpopular opinion because many seemed to hate it. But I liked the structure and the mystery of it, and it really does make sense (I connect it with religious cults trying to separate themselves from modern/secular society, which is an interesting look at the psychology of those people controlling their own society).

My thoughts exactly. I would have figured the Apocalypse would have been the final thing to really end the show on. Since how can you top the Apocalypse? And this isn't like Buffy where they have multiple kinds of apocalypses, but this was the biblical Apocalypse, Michael versus Lucifer, and yet they downplayed that anticipation that it was such a huge disappointment. It's like they were trying to make room for the filler that will become the sixth season, and that's just ultimately sloppy especially for a show that's been doing amazingly well with that storyline from the fourth season.

Oh that does interesting. I've never seen The Village but I heard about the twist. So it looked liked the movie took place in the past but it was really some kind of cult?

Tell about it.

Agreed. I have to wonder what they'll do for a series final now.

Something kinda like that. Do you want me to spoil you or just give you some helpful details, in case you wanna see the film yourself?

Agreed. I have to wonder what they'll do for a series final now.

*nods* My thoughts, precisely. Before it seemed like the Apocalypse was the surefire way of ending the series, because it was bringing all these storylines and twists and everything we'd learned over the course of the show together. It just made perfect sense with having the Winchester legacy end. But now, there's uncertainty and with the failings of the writing, I just can't see how they are going to end on that big bang Kripke has talked about.

'Do you want me to spoil you'
I already spoiled myself on wikipedia. I couldn't resist. Talk about a social experiment!

'But now, there's uncertainty and with the failings of the writing, I just can't see how they are going to end on that big bang Kripke has talked about.'
Yep. At this point I can't really see the writers coming up with another big encompassing storyarch. I'm guessing when they do finally end the show Sam and/or Dean will end up dead for real.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

lol, it was such a social experiment, but it was a strangely good twist. Some people were put-off by the mislead of the monster-tale, but I honestly think it works. *shrugs*

I kinda figured that that's how the show would end, either one of them or both would end up dead. Which is why I thought this season, after that huge battle that never happened, it was going to have either one sacrificing themselves and the other to just drive off into the sunset, but nope. I just can't see anything else that would wrap up the show, unless having the "love story" of Sam and Dean's brotherly relationship be it, which is even more anticlimactic than the S5 finale, tbh with you. :/
