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.

From what I've gathered from her interviews and such, Gamble just lives inside her own little world in what she illusions the show to be, not what it's supposed to be and doesn't listen to fan reactions or opinions. If she did, she wouldn't have pulled the majority of the stunts she did this season.
I'm banking so much hope on the episode that Edlund wrote and directed to give us the saving grace that would salvage at least the relationship between Cas and the Winchesters.
Same here. Like you said, I distrust Gamble and the other writers to do his character justice at all with the bullshit they've been pulling lately. :/
