I really loved the interview. I just started watching Supernatural this year and got caught up recently.
And I even knew some of the trivia this week. Awesome!
Random thoughts:
– our sun is not the type to go nova. And it’s another 4.5 billion years before it’ll die off. I’d hope by that time humanity has moved on to other places, or has the technology to move the Earth out of harms way. Either way, there is no reason to watch superman die off, or think him as the last human alive. If anything, I’m thinking he’d be obsolete by then . . . what with everyone sporting robotic-enhanced bodies and all.
– and why would he be around? Since he obviously ages, in 4.5billion years he might be more like an indestructible piece of leather sporting tattered remnants of fancy duds than anything we’d recognize as vaguely human-shaped.
– Cromartie (sp?) may have been “killed”, but he appeared in the previews for future episodes of Terminator: SCC.
– As much as T3 was a weak effort (just watched it again), it did correctly point to the only possible conclusion . . . judgment day happens. Which makes all the efforts to stop it futile at best. This is supported by the upcoming movie T4, for which this series was supposed to lay the groundwork. Much better to use the time remaining to prepare for the aftermath, and to keep clear of terminators.
Thanks for showing some Supernatural support with the Sera Gamble interview! I love hearing about the behind-the-scenes planning for the storylines.
Yeah, good interview. Nice job.
Awesome interview. Supernatural is my fave show other right now.
