Supernatural Bedtime Stories Promo Photos

Supernatural episode 4.4, Bedtime Stories, doesn't air for a couple more weeks but here are some promo photos to keep you company until that time.

I don't read spoilers (I like to be surprised.), but from the looks of things, Sam may be making his own deal to save Dean. Boys, Boys, Boys... we have to end this vicious circle. Don't you just love the backlighting for this last photo, though. Very cool!
As always, I get my photos from Supernatural.tv

Stargate Atlantis 4.2 Lifeline

Unfortunately, I was unable to watch episode 4.2, Lifeline, on Friday. I did catch the last fifteen minutes in which Carter came to Sheppard's aid and rescued them from The Replicators. Elizabeth, however, is presumed dead since her signal could not be picked up by Carter. So, Atlantis is now on a new planet, undetected by The Replicators.

Next week's episode 4.3, Reunion, has Ronon running for his life when old friends drop in to visit.

Supernatural 3.1 The Magnificent Seven

OMG!! Eric Kripke is a creative genius! I have always sung his praises when it comes to his writing but he really outdid himself for the premier episode of Supernatural which aired Thursday, October 4th.

Of course, we all know that Sam and Dean couldn't stop the Yellow-Eyed-Demon from unleashing a legion of demons from hell but what we didn't know is what kind of ancient evil actually got out of hell. We were given a "sneak-peek" of sorts when Sam, Dean and Bobby go up against the "Seven Deadly Sins" which, according to legend, are not just sins but demons that bring out the worst in people.

What I loved most about this episode, besides Eric Kripke's genius, was the way Bobby has just become this awesome moral compass, not only for Sam and Dean but also for other hunters. He keeps his wits about him and doesn't let his emotions get the best of him. He is the level-headed voice of reason that keep everyone around him from getting killed. Jim Beaver is an excellent actor and the chemistry between him and Jensen and Jared is terrific.

What I didn't really like, but you can't hate him for it, is the regression of Dean's emotional state. In season one, Dean was the fun-loving, kinda sleazy, womanizing yet totally charming guy that we grew to love despite his deficiencies. In season two, Dean (as Sam so eloquently put it) was "twisted and broken" after John sold his soul to save Dean. He became more serious especially with the revelation that he may have to kill Sam if the Yellow-Eyed-Demon had his way and turned Sam evil. Gone was the sleazy Dean and in his place was a very angry and determined man who just wanted to save his brother. Now, with Dean only having one year to live, we have the sleazy Dean back who just wants to live it up and kill some demons along the way. I hate that Dean has reverted to his old ways yet you can't really hate him for it. After all, he is extremely charming.

Another thing I didn't like was the introduction of the girl who saved Sam's butt. There's just something about her that I don't trust. The way the demons knew who she was plus the way she moved when fighting the demons just screams "don't trust her!"

It's too bad that Eric Kripke can't write every single episode. There would be no question about whether or not The CW would cancel the show. He is very good at what he does but I know that it isn't possible to write 23 episodes plus make sure that the show is being run the way you have envisioned it without help. We just need to keep our fingers crossed that this new season will draw in the male viewers that The CW is so desperate to gain.

Episode 3.2, The Kids Are Alright, airs Thursday, October 11th. It looks super creepy and reminiscent of season one.

Heroes 2.2 Lizards

I have to say that Heroes redeemed itself after episode 2.2, Lizards aired on Monday October 1st. The introduction of Maya and her brother, Alejandro, made more sense, especially since they revealed that he too also has a power that counteracts Maya's. However, the story line that followed Peter was a bit trite. He saves the sister of the man that is holding him against his will and now she will be Peter's new love interest. Hiro's character is always fun to watch. Especially as he decides to save the legend of Kenesai by dressing up as him and saving the swordsman's daughter. Unfortunately, the real Kenesai gets shot with arrows but, low and behold, he too has a ability.

The plot between Noah Bennett and Mohinder Suresh to invade "The Company" is a bit confusing and you know that it's going to cause another chasm between Mr. Bennett and his family, especially Claire, who is still struggling to trust her father. I loved the last scene when Claire, curious about the limits of her ability, cuts her little toe off with her mother's sewing scissors as Claire's classmate, who can fly, peeps in from the window. I was kinda sad to see it end but am relieved that Heroes is still going to be one of the top shows to be reckoned with. Episode 2.3, Kindred, airs Monday, October 8th.
