It's Not Easy Being Green

Usually I bemoan the fact that the 'Supernatural' fandom is slightly insane, but I'm impressed at how disappointed everyone is that it got renewed for a sixth season even though, by all accounts, Kripke and the boys only wanted to do (and planned) 5. Not that I trust in Kripke. At all.

Also, at his current rate of expansion, I reckon that Jared won't be able to fit through doors by the end of next season cuz he'll be too buff.

Meanwhile, ( Supernatural 5.11 'Sam, Interrupted' )

LMAO. Spork: An Erotic Love Story, as (kind of) read by Zachary Quinto. By which they mean they bastardised the audiobook to make it porn. SO FUNNY.

Paul McCartney holds court at the Critics' Choice Awards, meets GQMFs, who are ADORABLE.

Gene Roddenberry pilot gets deal, Roddenberry thought it would be bigger than Star Trek.

Jane Espenson interviewed about 'Caprica' (on AfterElton, so it mostly focuses on the gay characters. I have to watch the pilot. I'm glad she's getting so much attention, she is an awesome and intelligent lady. More Caprica: first look at James Marsters on the show. Not spoiling, but wow, Ausiello, this character is basically Spike? Not from that description.

Johnny Wallet's on Twitter!

Barry Manilow to guest star on 'Glee'. There seems to be a lot of fandom backlash against all the stunt casting and famous cameos. I kinda don't care. This show is kind of cartoony and OTT anyway, and if we enjoy it that way, then all this stuff is just icing.

Something that's been annoying me about watching 'Star Trek' extras:

Why does JJ keep referring to Gaila as "Green Girl"? They talk about Keenser using his name, which unless I'm mistaken is never actually spoken in the movie, and yet Gaila, who is referred to by name, gets called "Green Girl". Also, all the deleted Gaila scenes completely diminish how awesome she is in the one-and-a-bit scenes we get her for in the actual movie. I didn't find anything particularly funny about the scene where Kirk apologises to the wrong girl, even though JJ etc. were raving about it.



Obviously I'm biased and fandom has a skewed point of reference, but it seems really sexist and disrespectful, because Gaila was so out there cool and fandom's portrayal of her is terrific. I guess I'm just disappointed that the makers of the movie don't love her too.

In other news: OMG NEW LEVERAGE!

Go join lotr_lims. It's pretty great, very consistent, one of the best LIMS challenges I've done - and I've done a lot.

Real life:

Interviewed for the director position I want today. I will be so bummed if I don't get it, seriously. I don't think the interview went as well as it could have, I was tired and not feeling well.

Puck isn't letting me get much sleep, but he's so damned cute. He does this little butt wiggle before he pounces on things, and it's adorable. Also, he's quite cuddly. He keeps scratching me, though, mostly by accident - trying to get up on my lap and things like that. I'm covered in scratches.

It's really fucking hot.

Glee:

Go join gleeverse, it's fun. It's one of those game communities where you're on a team and you do challenges. I'm on Team New Directions, because clearly the Glee kids are the best.

Woo! 'Glee' officially renewed for a second season! I'm sick of seeing "I love Glee, even though it's flawed" everywhere. Quit qualifying your love. 'Chuck' is flawed. Hell, even 'Dollhouse' is flawed. I think there's only three genuinely flawless seasons of television I've ever seen.

Casting spoilers. Seems everyone ever in a musical is getting in on the show.

New HQ pomro pics.

'Chuck' season 3 premiered strong. I've watched the first, I'll watch the second tonight. It's such a fun show.

Jossverse:

As linked by Maurissa and others: Commentary!: The Musical’: The Commentary. It's available on iTunes, btw.

The Dr. Horrible gang at PaleyFest, talking about making Commentary!

Scott Allie explains the accidental reveal of Twilight from Buffy Season 8 (MASSIVE SPOILERS). I'm actually really relieved, because for a while there it looked like it might have been someone that would've made me much more upset.

James Gunn's new movie 'Super' will star Nathan Fillion, Linda Cardellini, Rainn Wilson, Liv Tyler, Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon and others and looks...well, weird. I mean, it's James Gunn.

Stacks of new promo photos from 'Star Trek' that are AWESOME. They're the base images for the amazing posters!

gqmf_awards is an off-shoot of ontd_startrek and it's kinda awesome.

Spider-Man 4 Scrapped; Sam Raimi & Tobey Maguire & Cast Out; Franchise Reboot for 2012. Um. WHAT?

Very entertaining trailer for 'The A-Team'. If you have a problem and no-one else can help you...get Bradley Cooper shirtless. Hey, it won't solve your problem, but you'll probably forget about it for a few minutes anyway.

I watched 'Star Trek' with commentary tonight. I wish they could've gotten some of the cast in, as much as I love JJ, Darlton, Orci and Kurtzman. It would've been fun. Also I'm vaguely insulted that JJ doesn't know Gaila's name. I like the movie so much better without the other "green girl".

No One Will Ever Believe you: Bill Murray will deny all these stories.

BEST FANMIX EVER: IN CASE OF PON FARR: HIT IT. BAHAHA. I am still in awe of the fact that Pon Farr is a real, canon thing.

Chris Pine will play Jack Ryan. I'll watch it, but I don't care all that much. I am impressed that he is now playing the same roles as both William Shatner AND Harrison Ford, though.

Nathan Fillion interview.

Tricia Helfer will guest on 'Two and a Half Men'. Ugh.

Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars. Chrises Pine and Evans need to be MUCH higher. The Twilight cast needs to be banned from all lists from now on (and I LIKE RPattz.) The fact that Jensen even rates when he's not remotely a movie star is awesome (he SHOULD be a movie star, he's one of the most talented actors currently working on TV.) Gael & Jake & Paul Newman ♥ James Dean needs to break top 10, man. HOW can Megan Fox beat out Angelina Jolie? How is Emma Watson #3? HOW IS HARRISON FORD ONLY #33?? Go Zoe Saldana, though. MARILYN MONROE AT 15? Travesty. Not even the top 10.
...actually, a lot of TV stars in there - Kristen and Eliza (♥), too.

Rise of the Zombies T-Shirt. LMAO.

National Organisation for Marriage's campaign against same-sex marriage (NOM? Really? Cuz that just makes me want food) and the hilarious and accurate Funny Or Die response starring pretty much everyone we like or care about.

On the Dollhouse front: FOX to Dollhouse: “Improve ratings, or else!”?

Transformations and the fate of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse and the Whedonesque comments. My thoughts: if Echo didn't start out undergoing all these involuntary changes, the story of her slowly freeing herself from them wouldn't matter at all, and that's the story Joss is trying to tell.

Ask Eliza your questions! Eliza wants your questions!

Dollhouse essay contest. Hope I don't forget this one.

The Joss Whedon quiz. I only got 17 and I can't for the life of me figure out which ones were wrong. Whedonesque thinks some of the answers are wrong, though, so...maybe I got them all right? :)

Interesting little Jessalyn Gilsig interview that gives us some insight into Terri's twisted mind.

Dolly recount of meeting the Glee cast. Cute anecdotes, but painful to read.

Star Trek makeup article with lots of awesome pictures. "Why the long face?" from the bar, and Keenser, and the disapproving female alien! And a special surprise at the end :D
