Supernatural: "Heaven and Hell" Preview and News

Alice Jester — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:40:53 EST

Three very intense clips for Thursday's episode, more con news, and we want that People's Choice award.
You guys sick of me yet? I'll tell ya, it's been an intense week of fandom activity. Anyway, there are three clips for this week’s episode, “Heaven and Hell”. Normally when I get these, they are light teasers. I’m warning you right here, clips #1 and #3 are NOT light. They’re rather intense. They’ll...

TV Review: Supernatural - "I Know What You Did Last Summer"

Alice Jester — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:41:47 EST

I loved this episode -- Sam hits rock bottom and it's better with a demon.
Once upon a time, before there was an exciting fan convention in Chicago that completely dominated some of our lives, a somewhat epic and mind-boggling Supernatural episode aired. One that people in New York and New Jersey as well as other places (Mississippi?) couldn’t see until Saturday thanks to the NFL. As I went back to write the review,...

"Salute To Supernatural" Con Report, Day Three: My Fan Girl Moment

Alice Jester — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:53:21 EST

Me, the biggest skeptic of all, fell for the fan girl experience.
I didn’t get it… at first.I’ve never been what you call a “fan girl” in the true sense. I’ve never gotten excited over the whole celebrity thing. The way I see it, they’re normal people doing jobs like you or me. I haven’t met a lot of celebrities in my lifetime but when I have, I’ve treated...

"Salute To Supernatural" Con Report, Day Two

Alice Jester — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:44:06 EST

Day two. Elevator mishaps and bad fan questions made for a unique day.
Day two got right back down to business. Of course that was after a small amount of excitement at the hotel involving slow service in the restaurant and a broken elevator. It’s amazing how two minor little things can just throw off a morning for people, but it did, big time. I’ll have to admit, the staff here at the Wyndam...

"Salute To Supernatural" Con Report, Day One

Alice Jester — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:02:36 EST

My first day solidified my believe that these are the greatest fans in the world.
Here is the much anticipated day one report from the “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Chicago. I must say, so far it’s been quite an event and it’s only getting started.First DayThis was a surreal experience from the word go. The day started by me getting up at 4:30 am. Considering that I'm a night owl who rarely...

Supernatural: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" Preview and News

Alice Jester — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:38:37 EST

Preview clips for part one of the big two-parter, plus fans these days are both charitable and nuts.
This Thursday (November 13) and next Thursday (November 20) we'll get a two-parter that Sera Gamble said in a recent interview would be “epic”. I’m not sure what that necessarily means, but I can’t wait to find out. Here are two clips from Thursday night’s first part, “I Know What You Did Last...

TV Review: Supernatural - "Wishful Thinking"

Alice Jester — Sun, 9 Nov 2008 01:29:24 EST

Dean unravels, Sam dies (again), and a teddy bear tries to end it all. Be careful what you wish for!
Be careful what you wish for! It’s dark comedy done Supernatural style and with anything using this genre, the side-splitting laughter usually comes with a dark and cynical sentiment by the end of the piece. Dark enough to even make a teddy bear want to blow his brains out. Despite the sinister territory, the execution of “Wishful...

Why You Can't Watch Videos on ABC.com, CWTV.com, or Fox.com

Move Networks sold an HD player to three network Web sites that doesn't work on the most common browser, Internet Explorer.
It all started when the hubby and I wanted to watch the pilot for Life On Mars. After realizing that I did not set the TiVo for the pilot (likely due to our excitement over the Supernatural episode that evening), we had no worries, for we could catch it online at our leisure. After all, we’ve done it many times before. Our outmoded...

TV Review: Supernatural - "It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester"

Alice Jester — Sun, 2 Nov 2008 11:23:28 EST

A Halloween themed episode on a horror show. Go figure.
What a concept! A horror show where one of the main characters accurately states, “For us, everyday is Halloween,” opts to do a Halloween themed episode. Considering the Halloween season is a disastrous time in the Winchester family history, why not dress up the fact that this year isn’t proving to be any better for the brothers?...

Supernatural: "It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester" Preview and News

Alice Jester — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 22:55:16 EDT

Clips for Thursday's Halloween themed episode, and there's plenty of good show buzz.
It's Halloween and surprisingly a horror themed show in which every episode feels like Halloween is doing a special Halloween themed episode. Sure, the pilot takes place on Halloween as Sam and his now late girlfriend Jessica go to a party, but that didn’t count. All we learned was that Sam doesn't like Halloween.Courtesy of Warner...
