rogueslayer452It 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.

In other fandom news:
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 01:49 pm (UTC)You and me both, but then I've skipped more episodes than I've watched this season- from what I've heard I haven't really missed that much. I've heard a rumor that Misha might be written off the show (with Cas' popularity I'll believe it when I see it) and I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand I would hate to see Cas go (he's pretty much the only reason I watch) but on the other it seems like the writers didn't know what to do with him after season four.

Date: 2011-04-27 09:15 pm (UTC)It's gotten to the point where I only watch the show because of Castiel and the other angels, not the Winchesters anymore. So if Castiel left, so would I, and I have no shame in admitting that (unless they do something interesting with the brothers but I somehow doubt it.) On one hand if that means they will no longer butcher his character in the writing then that's kind of a blessing is disguise, however on the other hand I doubt they'd get rid of their most popular character/actor amongst the fandom. Especially after making him a series regular (even though they have been treating Castiel like a recurring role for the last two seasons now, but I digress.)
I think that's what that rumor is, just a rumor. I think they want to amp up the anticipation for the finale which is a cliffhanger for fans to see what happens to our beloved angel. Keeping the suspense and all of that, you know.
