News Fit for Dean Winchester

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Geoff Tate of QueensrycheThe hiatus seems to be draining me of many topics to talk about, but here’s some news that even Dean Winchester might be interested in.

Queensryche frontman Geoff Tate is set to star in upcoming horror flick House of Eternity. This is Tate’s acting debut, in which he is the villain Alder Grayson. His wife in the movie will be portrayed by Blackmore’s Night singer Candice Night. I hope Tate contributes to the soundtrack, because it would be wonderful to have his song play in the background of a poignant scene, similar to hearing Queensryche’s “Silent Lucidity” at the end of Season 2, Episode 17 “Heart.”

Additionally, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson has co-written a film called Chemical Wedding, which will be showing on May 17th at the Cannes Film Festival. In fact, Dickinson will personally fly invited guests to the screening in the band’s own Boeing 757 (he is a trained pilot).

Dickinson has said that the movie is inspired by the story of occultist Aleister Crowley. You can see an interview with Dickinson on the set of his film at Reuters.

Episode 3×10 “Dream A Little Dream of Me” Review

Episode 3×10 “Dream A Little Dream of Me”

Dean: Hey Sam, I was wondering. When you were in my head, what did you see?
Sam: Uh, just Jeremy. He kept me separated from you… What about you? You never said.
Dean: Nothing. I was looking for you the whole time.

To read other recaps/reviews of this episode, check out BuddyTV, Starpulse, SyFyPortal, and TVSquad

For some history in the episode’s title, check out what tv.com has to say about it.

Along with “Fresh Blood,” “Dream A Little Dream of Me” might be one of the best episodes of Supernatural to date, let alone this season. Besides offering us a great look at Bobby Singer’s background and how he became a hunter, we also learned more about what Dean felt about himself and his brother. While I objected to the clumsy dialogue of the scene between Dean and himself, it gave us the first look at his vulnerability this season.

Supernatural Renewed for Fourth Season!

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

At the time of writing yesterday’s entry, I hadn’t checked my sources in a while. Imagine my surprise and absolute delight when I found out-

Are you sitting down?

Supernatural has been renewed for a fourth season!

Instead of dragging out this decision (like they did last year) and incurring the wrath of the very devoted fans of the show (as they’ve been doing and will probably always do), the CW released a press statement on March 3rd with the news.

Even better news came the very next day, when the CW revealed that Supernatural will return with repeats on April 3rd before the new episodes start airing from April 24th. For those of you worrying how the show will keep up with its competition on other networks - you have one less thing to worry about. Lost is moving to Thursdays at 10pm, which should help out fans of both shows.

If you remember, I mentioned that Jensen had been in Australia while promoting the show. He had an interview with the Australian magazine TV Week where he discusses how the Winchester brothers would smell in real life, what he’d like in his future as an actor, and the craziest rumor he’s ever heard about himself. You can read it all here - it doesn’t mention any plot points, but it’s definitely funny.

Interestingly enough, there are also two new updates on the Jared Padalecki front. On March 2nd, Jared attended a Lakers basketball game with his longtime girlfriend Sandy McCoy (you might know her better as the Crossroads Demon that Sam killed in Season 3). You can find those images below:

On March 4th, Jared also attended the premiere of the new movie Never Back Down, also with Sandy.

He’s really been hitting the celebrity circuit, hasn’t he? Can’t say I blame him for taking a break from work. I would love to see his hair return to it’s natural length, though!

Production Begins for Four New Eps in April

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Episode 2×07 “Roadkill”Now that March has arrived and the WGA strike is long over, life in TV Land has (relatively) returned to normal.

Immediately after the strike concluded, according to Sera Gamble, Supernatural writers had a grand total of three weeks to work on scripts before production began. As recent reports have indicated, shooting has already begun on the four new episodes that will be arriving on April 24th, so all four scripts are probably mostly finished.

While we fans impatiently await the end of the current hiatus, we can distract ourselves a bit with news on what the actors did, where the mythology of the show stands right now, and what we can expect for the end of the season.

During the strike, Jensen Ackles was in Austalia for two weeks in February, promoting the show there on various talk shows and interviews. Jared Padalecki, on the other hand, had his last public appearance at the Fangoria Convention in Austin, TX on February 19th. Since production has already begun, it’s a safe bet that they’re back in Vancouver. More recently, Jensen turned 30 on March 1st.

Meanwhile, Katie Cassidy (who plays Ruby) has been ordered to take a diversion class as punishment for being cited for underage drinking last year. The class is for first-time offenders and she will have the opportunity to take it in California, where she lives. All in all, a breath of relief for Cassidy.

Finally, the biggest news-maker of the roster of current and former stars on the show has definitely been Jeffrey Dean Morgan. On February 13th, Us Magazine leaked the news that Morgan was engaged to his girlfriend Mary-Louise Parker of Weeds fame. Congratulations to them both!
