Supernatural Episode Review: My Bloody Valentine

Jared Padalecki, SPN, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Supernatural, Episodes, Reviews No Comments »

My review of the Supernatural episode “My Bloody Valentine” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

The Soap Angel explains that it’s Cupid at work, and there’s something gone haywire with the results because a hungry love turns into a devouring love, literally. One of my first thoughts was, naughtily, that since Sam and Dean have this weird, brotherly, love-hate thing going on, and they tend to be a little obsessed with each other 24/7, would they then succumb to that and become each other’s valentines? Would the eating then start? I kept waiting for it, some indication, a movement of the mouth (Dean’s) or a look from beneath dark brows (Sam’s) that would take the story into a deliciously dangerous direction. Alas, no, though I feel fairly certain that I’m not the only one who thought this.”

Supernatural Episode Review: Swap Meat

Jared Padalecki, SPN, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Supernatural, Episodes, Reviews No Comments »

My review of the Supernatural episode Swap Meat is up at pinkragun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

“Then we are treated to a whole slew of scenes where Sam is in Gary’s body, and Gary is in Sam’s body, and then the fun starts. Every respectable TV show should have a body-swap ep, and this is Show’s. Although, to be frank, it would have been more fun had Dean and Sam swapped bodies with each other. With Ackles and Padalecki’s high level of comedic talent, and their familiarity with each other’s motions and gestures and speech patterns, it would have been a hoot and a half! So that’s one for the suggestion box, I think, and what with the rumors flying about a sixth season, maybe Show will take another stab at the body-swap idea and give us all a treat.”

Delay in review for Supernatural Episode 5.11 till Thursday…

Preview Clips for Supernatural Episode 5.11

SPN, Preview, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Episodes, Pink Ray Gun, Supernatural No Comments »

The latest and newest clips of the upcoming ep to be aired on January 21st are now available at Pink Raygun.

Here are my thoughts….

The new ep is called Sam, Interrupted, which is a play on the title of Girl, Interrupted, which is the only movie I ever liked Miss Jolie in and the last movie I liked Miss Ryder in. But I love love love the idea of it!!! Because, seriously, what a riot! After all the crap that Sam and Dean have been through, it’s about time that they ended up in the looney bin. Even though it looks like they check themselves in to go undercover, it’s still pretty delicious. Becauase I like the idea of the boys in pjs 24/7, trapped in a place where the food is bad and everyone acts like they’re helping you but are truly evil!! And maybe there’ll be nekked nudity….

You know and I know  you know and everybody (probably) knows how many fanfics there are out there about this very topic, so it’ll be nice to see on the TV screen. Although, there’s no way Show can do it as good as, say, Moths on the Mirror  by fleshflutter, and other stories of that caliber, still it’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Of clip 1, much hysteria ensues with the though of Sam in the altogether (having to take his pants down), and undergoing an uncomfortable situation. Padalecki is so very good at this kind of comedy, he’s so suited to physical humor, and I must say he looks really GOOD in this shot, all tan and lean and shaggy. The grey t-shirt just does it for me.

Of clip 2, there’s lots of Deanish goodness; I love the fact that he’s in blue pjs again, that never gets old for me. Interesting to see that something’s going on with him, some psychosis brought on by being in the looney bin, plus maybe…what, the ghosts of patients past?

I’m really looking forward to this ep because of the aforementioned goodness, plus, it looks like a REAL ep with a REAL case of saving people, hunting things. And the hiatus is over as well, thank goodness.

Here’s to Thursdays being FUN again!!!

Supernatural Episode Review: Abandon All Hope…

Jared Padalecki, SPN, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Supernatural, Episodes, Reviews No Comments »

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Abandon All Hope…” at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

There was an interesting little scene tucked away among all this. Dean spots Jo’s tight, jean-clad bottom. And like any red-blooded American male, and exactly like our biology has been programmed in us in order to ensure continuation of the species, he gets the sudden urge to spread some of his DNA around. It’s the last night of the world, after all. He saunters over to her like a tom cat and does that eyebrow thing and that glitter in his eye thing and then he does that leaning thing, all the while his mouth is moving, talking about their last night on earth, drawing her in for that kiss.”

Supernatural Episode Review: The Real Ghostbusters

Jared Padalecki, SPN, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Supernatural, Episodes, Reviews No Comments »

My review of the Supernatural episode “The Real Ghostbusters” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

As well, the other conventionalists, even in the face of Sam and Dean’s skill and experience, and even when Dean tries to tell the Faux Dean and the Faux Sam that he really is Dean, the possibility of Sam and Dean being real is denied and even laughed off. Sam and Dean remain in the shadows, incognito, but certainly not unhonored nor unsung, even though the whole convention is about them. Well, it’s about Chuck Shurley and his fans’ admiration for his work, but mostly it’s about the fans coming together to celebrate their heroes, Sam and Dean. And this they do with amicable passion, and varying amounts of skill.”

Syfy Press Tour - Stargate: Universe

Stargate: Universe, SPN, SGU, Pink Ray Gun, Supernatural, Reviews No Comments »

Recently I went up to Vancouver for the Syfy Press Tour, and was able finally to write a bit about my adventures. The link to the first part, about Stargate: Universe, is now up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

I’ve done interviews before, but my first foray into the group interview situation (aka “press junket”) was when I was invited up to

Vancouver for a day of meet and greet with the actors, producers, and writers of some of Syfy channel’s newest and most high-profile shows. Even though it was a bit last minute, who was I to refuse the opportunity to walk amongst the sets and trappings of Caprica, Stargate: Universe, Sanctuary, and

Alice? Not to mention the glitter and razzle dazzle of meeting people who I had only previously interacted with through the filter of a TV screen. So yeah, I jumped at the chance. Leapt, even.”A picture… or two
