Either uphill or downhill from here.
Apr. 26th, 2011 07:05 pmIt seems like Supernatural was renewed for a seventh season.
Meh, not unsurprising, however I'm not that excited or enthusiastic to be honest.
This season has been incredibly underwhelming and enraging for the most part, for reasons I've already expressed ad nausem. Show really needs to get their shit back together in order to impress me if they want a successful seventh season. I'd take Sera Gamble stepping down or being fired from showrunner position to be the first indicator of the show going in the right direction, please. I'd also take Kripke back in a heartbeat if that means no more shittiness that she's done, or Edlund if he's willing for the job. And better writers, as well. Just, a whole goddamn makeover would be nice. No more trainwrecks like it has been this entire season.

Yesterday Joss Whedon started filming The Avengers.
Plus, the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog sequel is becoming a reality! Having it be three years since the first one came out, immediately becoming a hit sensation, they've become constructing songs for the second one. Of course this probably won't get started until after The Avengers gets finished, but still. More Dr. Horrible and more Joss Whedony goodness makes me happy, so yay!
The Guild is also shooting its fifth season.
Haven S2 teaser trailer! Very brief, but goddamn that freaky-looking clown....O_o
And finally, DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2 TRAILER PREMIERES TOMOROW!!!! \O/\O/\O/ MY FANGIRL HEART WILL SWELL WITH HAPPINESS AND MY EYES FILLED WITH EPIC TEARS.

Date: 2011-04-27 03:18 am (UTC)The thing is, it does seem rather selfish to want the show to end at a specific point because, this job is their livelihood and it would be sad seeing them sad that they can't go to work every single day and have fun like they do. As a fan you want things to be a certain way, but in the business of being an actor, when you have something good going for you, a job that you love working on, that's something you have to treasure and these actors have been doing this for six/seven years now. I mean, I feel slightly bad for wanting a show that they desperately love working on to be over just because I don't like the direction it's going in. At the same time though, certain things have to come to an end and if it's not doing well writing/direction-wise, it either has to be fixed or just end before it gets worse. I don't know.
Gah, rambling now.
