This is where things get interesting.
Jul. 19th, 2010 02:01 pmMore 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. :(

Date: 2010-07-24 09:49 pm (UTC)Exactly. I keep getting reminded about what was said during "I Believe The Children Are Our Future", that whole animosity between them and what Castiel said later about Sam being his friend. Not that I wasn't happy he said it, because I do want them to be okay with each other, but we needed something more to show that Castiel was alright with Sam and vice versa. Another thing they should have shown, that building of trust between the two. I mean, we can speculate and fanwank all we want to, but there wasn't much there to really grasp on what happened in between, you know?
I know. The only thing I'm worried about is who will be writing that episode. I REALLY hope it's not Dabb & Loflin; they've proven to me time and time again that they just don't 'get' ANY of the characters.
I get the feeling that certain writers on the show just don't understand the characters/story at all, and there's episodes that really show it too. I makes me wish that there could be someone from fandom to write the episodes, someone not entirely biased and is neutral but understands the show as a whole and the characters, esp their relationships with other characters.
It's kind of sad seeing more fans understanding the show than the writers do. Which isn't uncommon, unfortunately.

I would love that!

Date: 2010-07-26 02:05 pm (UTC)When I first heard they were going to have a demon named Crowley on the show I had hoped he would have had a least one scene with Cas so they could do the whole Crowley/Aziraphale demon/angel parallel, but sadly they didn't interact at all. Don't get me started on how strange that was; if anyone would have had a problem with the Winchesters working with a demon, you'd think it would be Cas.
'I really wanted more about how Castiel interacts with other people, with Sam and Bobby, I also wanted to see more with him and the Harvelles and how they managed to get him to drink shots with them.'
Me to.
