Supernatural - Ghostfacers - review with spoilers

I'm not sure I'll write a long review of the episode. I liked it but like many I felt the lack of Sam and Dean. They weren't around enough.

Back when I first heard that Ed and Harry would be back, I thought they were great characters and if the show even produces a spin-off, they could totally be it, two guys who believe and want to face the Supernatural world, only they are just two goof balls. It would be a great comedy series.

And in the end, that's kind of how Ghostfacers felt like, a pilot for a new show, or at least the crossover the introduces a new show. Of course, they open the episode presenting this idea for a new show.

I jsut think it would have worked better if Sam and Dean had more screen time.

The in-jokes were fabulous. Remember that the first time the Winchester met Ed and Harry, they were investigating a haunting in Richardson, Texas (Jensen Ackles's hometown)? And how both Jensen (dean) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) are from Texas? Well, when Harry sees Sam and Dean, he says "aren't they the assholes from Texas?" (or something almost like that).

Anyway, it was a good episode, but I wonder if people turned off after ten minutes where not even the Js names apeared on screen, I wonder if they thought they were watching the wrong show.

A song for your heart

Completely colorblind, these red lights are going unseen
Fall behind with words unsaid you know they're always obscene
'cause my ears, they bled before; I need to let them heal
She fell out; her broken legs won't let her walk away
From this town that couldn't give a single shit either way
And her fears, they bled before she's convinced that they're real

What are you looking for?
Are you looking for something more?
It's not me
It's not me

Lost her way from everything she swore she knew, a friend
Run away from start to finish though it never ends
In her mind she is blinded by all she sees
Close your eyes; just pretend the bullet isn't there
No surprise; no need to pretend that no one really even cares
But in her eyes you will find the very best in me

What are you looking for?
Are you looking for something more?
It's not me
It's not me

When did it all unwind?
Are you prepared for you'll find?
It's not me
It's not me

Criminal Minds - 3rd season

Criminal Minds has always called my attention because of the psychological approach of the show. It is a nice twist to the procedure shows that have been dominating the tv for the last 8/9 years. This third season the show was forced to go through some changes with Joe Mantegna joining the show after Mandy Patinkin left the show. They survived the wind of change and it's full of news.

One of my favorite changes is that Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) is getting more attention. Well, she started it last season when she went to field for the first time, but this season she had the chance to shine. I love her dinamic with all the other members of the team, specially Morgan and J.J. Even the newcomer David Rossi already has a soft spot for her and her geekiness.

Another great aspect is the guest appearances. Eddie Cibrian, Frankie Muniz, and my personal favorite former Veronica Mars' "Weevil" Francis Capra, and of course, Nicholas Brendon and my beloved Bobby Silver, ie, Jim Beaver. The list goes, but these are examples of how much fun a coach potato like me have seeing so many familiar and talented faces.

So if you like crime shows, it's tired of the whole procedural stuff and is interested in learning how the mind tick (and you're not Sylar, because he's have that knowledge down to an art by now), check it out Criminal Minds in a tv station near you.

That's it for now.
See you all soon,
Jell.

One of the best American Idol moments

Introduction post

Hi,

welcome to my new cyber home!

I'm Jell and this blog is all about (sometimes guilty) pleasure. Movies, music, tv and sometimes even life.

English is not my native language so please forgive me if I say something stupid while trying to say something else.

I'm currently up-to-date with Supernatural (my all time favorite Tv Show) and American Idol, but I am a fan of Buffy and Angel. I also watch Criminal Minds and Chuck but I'm behind with these shows.

I'll probably also blog about the CSI franchise because I'm familiar with it and a few more shows I know, even if I don't follow them.

As for movies, I watch lots and have many favorites, specially the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp ones.

There's lots more that I'll say later.

Bye for now!
