My cover of the upcoming Fall season for science fiction and fantasy fans continues.
The Winchester boys will be back with season 7 in September. We left them after Castiel declared himself a god and the new season will continue the moments after.
I am not sure Sam has dealt fully with his tortured soul so that is going to be an issue. The whole new godhood thingy is going to be an issue to be sure. I am a bit unsure about the new Castiel though. I loved the old one so much he was my favorite character. Cas will be having daddy issues and we will learn more in the first couple of episodes.
Crowley and Jo are returning too.
I feel a bit sorry for Dean he will have both Sam with the wall down reliving Hell and Cas on a power trip to deal with.
Slightly Spoilery Synopsis: Now, in season seven, the Winchesters will find themselves in an increasingly sinister, changing landscape, up against a new foe unlike anything they’ve ever fought. They’ll find their old tricks, weapons and hiding places all rendered useless. All they’ll have is each other. And the certainty that, like the last of the cowboy outlaws, whatever they face, they’re not going down without a fight. And the certainty that, like the last of the cowboy outlaws, whatever they face, they’re not going down without a fight. The series stars Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester and Misha Collins as Castiel.
The first episode is named Meet the Boss who would be Castiel.
The Vampire Diaries is one of those teenage shows (like Nine Lives and Teen Wolf)that is entertaining enough to make my to watch pile. I have not started on season two yet but hope to finish it before the premiere.
I saved up the first season to watch last summer too. I remember being so impressed that I promised myself to watch every episode as it aired. But time constrained forced it to the pile again.
Season three teases a blossoming relationship between Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) as Stefan’s (Paul Wesley) turn to the dark side.
Executive producer Julie Plec recently revealed that Stefan will still be out of town when the show returns in September. Stefan agreed to leave Mystic Falls with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) in the second season finale in order to save Damon’s life.
Plec previously announced that Elena will be celebrating her birthday when the show returns for its third season, confessing that Elena’s relationship with Damon will become increasingly complicated in Stefan’s absence.
“Over the course of the season, Elena will be struggling with a deep, deep attraction for Damon,” Plec said. “That’s going to be a big problem for her.”

It is that time of the year again when casting news and occasional promotional photos turns into trailers. The Secret Circle is a new supernatural series from the people behind The Vampire Diaries. This one has a mystery at its center. Young Cassie is a witch but why was that covered up?
I am all for a series about teenage witches if it is the least playful. The trailer doesn’t give a clear answer so I will have to watch a couple of episodes first. How about you?
Cassie Blake was a happy, normal teenage girl – until her mother Amelia dies in what appears to be a tragic accidental fire. Orphaned and deeply saddened, Cassie moves in with her warm and loving grandmother Jane in the beautiful small town of Chance Harbor, Washington – the town her mother left so many years before – where the residents seem to know more about Cassie than she does about herself.
As Cassie gets to know her high school classmates, including sweet-natured Diana and her handsome boyfriend Adam, brooding loner Nick, mean-girl Faye and her sidekick Melissa, strange and frightening things begin to happen. When her new friends explain that they are all descended from powerful witches, and they’ve been waiting for Cassie to join them and complete a new generation of the Secret Circle, Cassie refuses to believe them – until Adam shows her how to unlock her incredible magical powers.
But it’s not until Cassie discovers a message from her mother in an old leather-bound book of spells hidden in her mother’s childhood bedroom, that she understands her true and dangerous destiny. What Cassie and the others don’t yet know is that darker powers are at play, powers that might be linked to the adults in the town, including Diana’s father and Faye’s mother – and that Cassie’s mother’s death might not have been an accident. The series stars Britt Robertson as Cassie Blake, Thomas Dekker as Adam Conant, Gale Harold as Charles Meade, Phoebe Tonkin as Fay Chamberlain, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Melissa, Shelley Hennig as Diana Meade, Louis Hunter as Nick, Ashley Crow as Jane Blake and Natasha Henstridge as Dawn Chamberlain. Based upon the book series by L.J. Smith (author of “The Vampire Diaries” book series).
It is the return of the overemotional vampires. Last year I put Vampire Diaries on a pile and watched all of them in one go this summer. The finale convinced me I should try to catch it as it goes this season. Now I am not so sure.
The teen drama love triangle stuff starts to get to me. Watching just this show it might not but it is an overused trope. I have to admire the actors though, they play it well.
There is the added spice of Katherine with her hidden game plan. I wonder if it has something to do with the vampires they let out of the crypt? Or maybe the time is right for her to return.
The plot so far is basically Katherine stirring the pot, Damon goes off the rail because no one loves him and Bonnie becomes a contender for his affection. Caroline is snuffed by a pillow wielding Katherine while on Damon’s blood. Congrats Damon, you are a father. That might in fact be interesting to see next episode, I think I changed my mind, I will watch it as it goes. It must be the show that affects me so. The characters are so straight forward and firm in their attitudes.
I was so looking forward to see Elena and Katherine meet but alas not this episode. The show might be a bit racier this season with all the kiss me, ravage me stuff going on but I am jaded by True Blood. Show me some skin or it ain’t so.
The promised werewolves failed to materialize this episode but it is not hard to guess whose family curse is going to be it. Are all werewolves hotheads? Seems true often enough, the only exception so far is Alcide in the other series.
I did like some scenes in particular here, Damon hit by a pile of bricks, the You have feelings brother speech, the Kiss-me-or-kill-me-ravage-me interuptus and the double I don’t love you.
Okay, it was not too shabby, but I still feel a bit guilty for enjoying it.
Vampire Diaries Season 2 premieres September 9 on CW
Vampire Diaries is an entertaining little vampire show from CW that I saved up to watch after the finale last season, but it was so good that I decide to follow it from the beginning this season.
Last season ended in quite a cliffhanger. Elena’s vampire double-ganger Katherine arrived in town with deadly and emotional consequences. It is now time for the others to find out. Damon kissed Katherine believing it was Elena, his moment of realization is sure to be a high point in the season premiere.
There will be werewolves this season according to early spoilers.
The Vampire Diaries is based on a novel series by L.J. Smith where you are given the insight into the diary of 17-year old Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev). Elena and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), live with their Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning). Elena seeks comfort from her familiar social circle – best friend Bonnie (Katerina Graham), frenemy Caroline Forbes (Candice Accola), and former boyfriend Matt Donovan(Zach Roerig).
At Mystic Falls High, Elena and her friends become fixated by a mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley). Stefan and Damon(Ian Somerhalder) are vampire brothers – one good, one evil – at war for Elena’s soul.
