Either uphill or downhill from here.

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.

Heroes) they have yet to get to the point where it's practically irredeemably horrible. I'm hoping it never gets to that point, ever.
And while I'm not jumping with excitement I'm holding onto a sliver of hope that somehow a seventh season will fix the damages that Sera Gamble has done this season. I think of it like the pattern of BTVS, for example. The sixth season was considered awful by most of fandom, however the seventh and last season brought everything together and it more or less was much better and gave a solid ending and conclusion to the story. My only hope is that SPN does that same, that the seventh season will be its last and that they have something big planned in going out in style.
