Writing From the Inside

My review of the Supernatural episode “Clap Your Hands If You Believe” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

“There’re so many things about this ep that were great or laugh-out-loud funny and I had such pleasure watching this one twice. Overall, I adored this episode in a way I haven’t in a long time. I like that Sam’s getting some great lines now. I love that Dean realizes how important Sam is to him, that is, Sam with a soul, which he wants to get back. Even if having a soul and being human means nothing but constant pain and sorrow. Which isn’t exactly true, being a human is pretty cool. There’s joy and happiness and hot chocolate and puppies, and along with watching cool shows like Show, and Stargate: Atlantis and Numb3rs and Starsky & Hutch that makes life worth living. Sure, bad things happen to good people, but that, along with the sorrow that comes when beloved shows are cancelled, is part and parcel of being alive. You can’t have the sweet without the bitter, after all.”

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
