Ask Ausiello-Supernatural to end... just my two cents

The latest post from Ask Ausiello at EW about Supernatural has stirred up some feelings in the comments section of the blog.

The article basically says that the creator of Supernatural Eric Kripke wants to end the current Supernatural story at the end of season 5 and then if the show gets renewed start a new one from season 6. H cites Buffy and The X Files as shows being able to re boot.

Now I don't actually watch Supernatural (I'd like to but I think it would be just too scary for me!!) and personally I think the show should end with a bang like said in the post. However the reasons the article really annoyed me and plenty of others was by saying that Buffy "limped to the finish."

Now I severely disagree with this statement. Whilst Buffy may have not been quite as good in later seasons, it still maintained most of it's quality throughout. The series finale in particular was an amazing ending to the show, giving both a kick-ass fight plus a sense of hope and finality for the characters.
There are some Buffy fans who say that the show should've ended at season 5, but I could not think of a more depressing ending for such a good show. I bet that everyone who says it should have ended at s5, if it actually had, would've been clamouring for a sixth season.

Chuck in 3D and The Wire season 4 thoughts


I was very excited about the 3D Chuck episode I blogged about recently, unfortunately the episode was little disappointing both in quality of 3D and content, The 3D effects seemed to be only present some of the time, and whilst it worked for certain scenes well, it didn’t for others. Plus I was concentrating hard to see the 3D content which was a little headache inducing. The episode itself was ok, without the 3D gimmick it would’ve been mediocre.


Finished The Wire season 4 a week or so ago and it was amazing. A lot of people have said that this is the best show ever and s4 was its best season and whilst I have yet to see s5 (will start it soon) I have to agree. The season was just unbelievably tragic. May not sound like the appropriate synopsis for such a good season, but I think its very apt. I can’t wait to see s5 and then re-watch the whole show on DVD.


I’ve updated a list my 20 favourite shows on the right just for interest. I am blogging about TV after all!!

Chuck in 3D!

Chuck's 3D episode airs on Virgin 1 next week! 3D glasses are available by buying this week's TV and Satellite Weekly. However I got my own glasses through Virgin1's competition. They arrived the other day- I was very excited!!

If you've got the 3D glasses you can test them here.

In other TV news:

  • Dollhouse will air in the UK just a few weeks after its original broadcast. Good news methinks, will be nice not have to wait.
  • Glee have posted this awesome video of the cast performing Kayne West's 'Golddigger'. I seriously can't wait to see the performance in full. All the spoilers and promos coming out for the show look amazing, easily my most anticipated show for next year.
