agt_spooky: (SN-Sam and Dean (silhouettes))

Decided to tune back into SPN last night for one episode because it was filmed here in Chicago. I loved seeing my city actually playing Chicago and places I'm familiar with. But other than that, I needn't have bothered. "Bloodlines" was an awful rip-off of Kindred: The Embraced, populated with nothing but typical young, pretty CW actors with one bland expression. I'm so not interested in a Romeo and Juliet soap opera version of gritty and dark Supernatural. Boooooring. But that's typical CW fare so I shouldn't be surprised. I was really hoping I was going to enjoy the spin off, but with the exception of David I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Speaking of David and the "shifters" did I miss something along the way, with them not having to shed their skins and just change instantaneously? Are we just rewriting SPN canon again when it suits the writers?

What did all of you think of Bloodlines? Interested enough to tune in if it gets picked up to series or are you changing the channel? It'll be interesting to see what the ratings are later today.

agt_spooky: (Almost Human)

I'm sure you all read this news last night and started throwing things at your computer like I did. I'm so pissed off I barely have words right now.

I hate FOX so much. They deliberately set this show up to fail from Day One when they showed it completely out of order and pre-empted it for weeks at a time. So I expected the worst when it didn't get renewed in that first round of shows. But then lately things started to look much more positive, with several entertainment sites reporting things looked very good for renewal.

So the news last night came as a bit of a slap in the face. Screw you, FOX, for stringing us fans along for months now. Once again you're showing how idiotic you are when it comes to genre shows like Firefly and Space: Above and Beyond. You're throwing away "bromance" GOLD with Karl Urban and Michael Ealy. Not to mention a show that had so much potential for so many different story lines.

Can't wait to see what piece of crap they decide to put in its place next season. Probably a reality show that cost half of what AH did, because it always comes down to money.

I feel really sorry for Karl and Michael. It's obvious they enjoyed working together and they didn't deserve to be treated like they were. No one on the show did.

And neither did we.
