Syfy Press Tour – Stargate: Universe

Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SGU, SPN, Stargate: Universe, Supernatural Comments Off on Syfy Press Tour – Stargate: Universe

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

Supernatural Episode Review: I Believe The Children Are Our Future

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: I Believe The Children Are Our Future

My review for the Supernatural episode “I Believe the Children Are Our Future” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

The fact that itching powder is made of maple seeds is clearly known to Sam does not surprise me. The fact that his ginormous brain knows so many things is well known in canon and fandom. What is marvelous about the walk and talk scene between the brothers is, besides the brotherly DITHERING (which we’ve not seen in ever so long), is Sam’s Samhair in action. As with last week, there’s only a shy bit of forelock trying to make its way across Sam’s forehead. I’m fully comfortable in stating that Show is using Sam’s hair as a psychological marker on purpose because this week, it’s starting to swoop from its stern center part, and also, in delicious addition, there’s dips and curls peaking out from behind his ears, representing Sam’s struggle to escape from his past. Or maybe it’s just damn cute hair!!”

Supernatural Episode Review: Fallen Idols

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural 1 Comment »

My review for the Supernatural Episode “Fallen Idols” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

“When it gets fun for me, and in particular for Dean, is when he discovers that the car involved in the mysterious death is none other than the “Little Bastard” which is the name of the car James Dean owned when he was killed on the highway. And I don’t know what was more delicious, either Dean fanboying the car or Sam boyishly not getting it at all, standing there, tall and lean, with that confused look on his face while Dean sweet-talks the car into not killing him. No matter, the boys took off their jackets and rolled up the sleeves of their white button-down shirts and stood in the sunlight for me to admire. Both, on screen, At the Same Time. Was there dialog? I think so….”

Supernatural Episode Review: The End

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: The End

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

An excerpt:

“There’s this terrific scene where the “croats” (infected humans) espy Dean and send him running. My first thought, was oh, good, Dean loves zombies and these are kind of like zombies, so this ought to be fun for him. But second, that there were too many of them, and so Dean takes off running. Running Dean is a very delicious flavor of Dean, you realize. If you don’t, then you need to see this scene. Dean Running, good lord. Run, Dean, run!”
