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.

After spending Monday shooting in Vancouver, the Winchester brothers, aka Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, will spend the next three days filming Supernatural: Bloodlines in Chicago.

Bloodlines, formerly Supernatural: Tribes, is a potential new series that will be introduced in the 20th episode of Supernatural this season.

Most of the pilot episode was shot in Vancouver but the show will shoot some exterior shots in Chicago, where it will be set, on Mar. 25 – 27.

According to a recent casting call, Jared and Jensen will both be in town for the shoot.

We’ve also received Chicago Filming Permits under the name Hunters, LLC which we believe is Bloodlines. The permit shows filming will take place at 151 E Wacker Dr in Chicago on Wednesday, Mar. 26.

LOVE the name they took the permits out in! They were also filming here at the Loyola University campus yesterday. Wish I could get away from work to go find them, but with the way things are at the office it wouldn't be a good idea to take a day off. :-(

I liked Jared's tweet yesterday saying he was glad to be here in Chicago, that it's been six years since they've filmed anything in the U.S.

Well just like I thought, I did not get picked as an extra for the Supernatural: Bloodlines filming going on this week in Chicago.

Not surprising as they had over 1200 people apply for 100 spots. Oh, and one day they only need African American folks, but they never said that originally.

No word yet on exactly where they're filming, but if I can find out and get away from work, I'm there!
