SUPERNATURAL: Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki Preview Dean’s Trial

Tonight’s episode of SUPERNATURAL has Dean facing one of the biggest hurdles he’s had to tackle so far — being put on trial for his past mistakes by the Egyptian god Osiris. Unfortunately for him, if he’s found guilty the penalty is death. (No pressure there for Sam, who appoints himself Dean’s lawyer.)

Warner Bros. brought a group of reporters up to Vancouver last week, and Jensen Ackles (Dean) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) were kind enough to preview what fans could expect from “Defending Your Life”…

FRINGE: Anna Torv and John Noble Tease ‘Subject 9,’ Massive Dynamic, Nina and…William Bell?!

October 14, 2011 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Fringe

It’s FRINGE Friday!

Tonight’s hour, “Subject 9,” is suspiciously similarly titled to last year’s all-flashback “Subject 13,” which delved into a young Olivia’s history with the Cortexiphan trials and her first encounters with Peter and Walter. (FRINGE executive producer Jeff Pinkner teased last month that “fans are free to read into whatever they want!” in terms of the two episode names.)

Really, at this point, all we know for sure about the hour is that Nina Sharp returns. As far as I’m concerned, that’s worth a parade in itself. Blair Brown’s Nina has been sorely missed this season.

Thankfully for you guys, I recently talked with some people who could give more insight into what’s to come.

Warner Bros. brought a group of reporters up to Vancouver last week and FRINGE star Anna Torv (Olivia) shared a bit of what fans could expect from “Subject 9,” while John Noble (Walter) teased Nina’s return, what Peter might be up to when he comes back and whether William Bell might be making a comeback.

Team StarKid Embarks on The SPACE Tour. New Shows Added!

October 14, 2011 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Darren Criss, Glee, StarKid

If you know how SuperMegaFoxyAwesomeHot Red Vines are. If you secretly want to grow up to be a Starship Ranger. If you’ve dreamed of doing the two-step with Voldemort, then I’m going to go out on a limb and say you are a StarKid.

Whether you first discovered StarKid through the Potter franchise, or got to know them courtesy of one of GLEE’s breakout stars, you know that these talented actors and musicians are truly part of a Cinderella story for the modern age.

StarKid first invaded the internet in July 2009 with A Very Potter Musical – a fan-made parody that premiered on YouTube and immediately went viral garnering nearly 100 million views. Filmed during a live performance through University of Michigan’s Basement Arts, the show was an instant hit with fans of the Harry Potter franchise. (And yes, that’s GLEE star Darren Criss as Harry ‘Freakin Potter)

About Last Night…THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, THE OFFICE, THE BIG BANG THEORY and More

Oh, Thursday night TV. If I was to have a mortal enemy of TV nights (a la Sheldon’s feud with Wil Wheaton), it would be Thursday. I’m fairly certainly Thursday kicked my butt this week (a fact I blame entirely on THE X FACTOR’s two hour episode), but there was still plenty of TV. (And I’ll have my revenge next Thursday.)

So let’s talk about what aired!

THE OFFICE: Josh Groban Teases His Guest Spot in ‘Garden Party’

In case you needed another reason to love Twitter, Josh Groban shared during a conference call today that the social media site played a big part in him securing the guest role of THE OFFICE’s Walter Bernard Jr., younger brother of newly appointed office manager Andy.

“[THE OFFICE star/producer Mindy Kaling] direct messaged twittered me and I was shocked to hear from her,” he explained. And, as it turns out, Groban is a huge fan of the show and had time off from his tour, so he was able to accept the guest spot.

So what can you expect from the Bernard family in “Garden Party”?

About Last Night…PSYCH, SUBURGATORY, AMERICAN HORROR STORY and HAPPY ENDINGS

Wednesday was one of those nights where I knew I had a ton of stuff to watch…and yet I barely made a dent.

It’s entirely probable most of my distraction was due to the season premiere of PSYCH. The show is truly one of my personal television highlights, and I’m so glad it’s back. Lassiter hooking up Juliet to a “broken” lie detector machine as a means of getting her to admit she was in a relationship with Shawn? So wrong and yet so right. And while the show had teased Lassiter hooking up Shawn to the same machine and asking him if he was a psychic, you just knew Henry had taught Shawn to beat those things as a kid. (Something that was confirmed in a flashback we got at the episode.) However…if we’re to buy into the Shawn/Juliet romance, can he at least clue her in to his act soon? I’m having difficulty buying into them as a couple, given the major lie we know is standing between them.
