Ooh, SPN sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of writers for the Supernatural midseason finale !
ReplyDeleteNOT.
Is is the midseason finale? I didn't think it was.
ReplyDeleteArrow sounds like its gonna offer another great hour of television
ReplyDeleteYep, episode 910 airs on January 14, 5 weeks after 909.
ReplyDeleteI know. I guess it will be better than the last one, where the cliffhanger was Sam going to see Amelia, but this team is a mess. I'm hoping this is one of their "good" episodes (the last was 8x07). But I'm so tired of Cas being tortured.
ReplyDeleteJared was excited about this episode, though, and that gives me a semi positive feeling even though I'm not up for more sad sack Cas; I guess Cas has decided to take a stand for his brother and sister angels.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that - the duo write a fairly decent Sam and Dean but they often violate canon ,
ReplyDeleteKlaus sounds rather talk-y in this episode. What if he's in fact locked up in the garden ?
ReplyDeleteArrow and Nikita both sound great. Supernatural... well the thought of an Angel War sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteSo was Jensen!I think it will be a great episode.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural :O ---> I AM BOTH TERRIFIED AND EXCITED OMG :O This is the mid-season finale?????WHHYYYYYY.How the heck are we supposed to wait for 9x10 for 1+ 1/2 months?????
ReplyDeleteExcited about Arrow, Nikita and The Tomorrow People!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. I was getting excited reading the synopsis, and then I read who the writers are. All my excitement flew away w/o a look back.
ReplyDeleteAh, my 3 shows. Fine taste you have there. :)
ReplyDeleteYay, more Sin on Arrow! And even better that it sounds like Thea isn't jealous of Roy spending time with her, as one would expect on The CW... but I shouldn't jinx it.
ReplyDeleteThe whole "Amanda kidnaps VIP's and replaces them with clones" plot on Nikita sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi B-movie. Sigh. Amanda was actually my favorite character in the first 2 seasons. Then she became the Mary Sue of villains, not to mention way cheesier, less complex and less interesting.
"Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) takes a liking to Barry, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Oliver."
ReplyDeleteOh my angsty OTP <3.
You know how that SPN team likes to torture us every year with a big fat cliffie. LOL! Hopefully it's not the mid-season finale...but dunno... I hate waiting... :)
ReplyDeleteAbout Arrow, I think Thea would be the one injured in their search. That would create tension between Oliver and Roy, and lead Oliver to find out the truth about Blood.
ReplyDeleteAnything to get Thea more involved in the action and in her brother's life. I know not everyone can be "team Arrow" but having the character on the sidelines all the time is a real downer.
ReplyDeleteThe Originals - Elijah, Rebekah, & Hayley heading into the bayou together is all TO needs to make a good episode.
ReplyDeleteArrow - This is a step in the right direction for Oliver. No one ever knows what he's thinking and/or feeling unless it's anger. I'm not only talking about the Felicity thing either. I'm saying, in general, he's so damn cryptic and stoic that the people closest to him can hardly ever get a read on the guy. That has to change at some point. Hopefully, this is that point.
The Vampire Diaries - Katherine - Stefan - Caroline. Now THAT is an interesting triangle.
Unfortunately it is indeed the mid-season finale ... Episode 10 comes back on January 14th.
ReplyDeleteOH I cant wait for this man it better be good and man poor poor Cas doing this to him that will suck.
ReplyDelete
