just can't catch a break/SPN 6.14/X-Files
Ugh. I get Sony Vegas installed, and I think I might finish up one of my WIPs... Guess not. Sony Vegas won't show the video. It just says "media offline", no matter what I do. So, now I have a new computer, that runs all the big programs without any speed issues, and I STILL can't work on my editing. That's just awesome. I have tons of SPN vids I

But anyway, there's nothing that suggests Sera is TRYING to get rid of Cas. Y'know other than the continued minute-long appearances, but that was going on when Kripke was in charge too. Just to a slightly lesser degree.... Shit, I sound like a conspiracy theorist. Only instead of government cover-ups and aliens, I'm talking about showrunners conspiring to get rid of characters. I am truly pathetic....That, or my brain is running on too much Castle.
As for the renewals: probably not until later this year. I think last year we found out in May or June, after s5 ended. s6 had already been confirmed, but the cast- other than Jensen and Jared- was up in the air until the official synopsis for s6 was released.
Ah, the first movie, then.

That's kind of the thing of it though, isn't it? Cas and Vala are both what drew back once-loyal viewers to a show that had lost their interest. I watched SG-1 like mad (on TV!) when I was younger and by season 5 or so I just wasn't interested anymore. Then I saw a clip of Vala and I wanted to give it all another shot and stuck it out for 2 seasons and 2 movies that I completely loved (give or take with Continuum :P ...and the backhalf of S9). SPN did the same but way faster because it was Sam-centric in the early seasons and I didn't like him :P Cas brought me (and a shitload of people) back to the fold. Neither deserve to be a snubbed for being awesome.
Hey I'm all about conspiracy theories when I can't find logical answers for why one of the most popular characters of a show is being under-exploited. I mean you don't go from being a Regular to a Recurring without raising some eyebrows.
Damnit. Here's hoping someone leaks something soon, or that the rest of the eps are Cas-overloads and soothe our disquiet...for now anyway.

Damn straight they are. I mean, I never really lost interest in SG-1 while I was going through it... though that could be because I watched them all straight through... but my favorite seasons are 9 and 10. It was seasons 9 and 10 that started me vidding, and started my fic writing. Just like with SPN; I loved the show beforehand, but it was Cas' introduction that got me vidding, and writing, and got me active in the fandom. Not to mention Cas gave me something to ship other than lost causes, and dead people (Dean/Lisa- they turned out to be less of a lost cause than I thought-, Sam/Sarah, and Sam/Jess)
He's still listed as a regular, bb. He was only listed as recurring guest star for s4. S5 got him promoted to series regular, and they didn't change his billing for s6. Though god only knows why not. He's been around less than Bobby... and Crowley, for that matter.
The closer it gets to the end of the season, the more people start saying that they think Cas is gonna die. It happened last season too. (I think Rufus and Sampa are on the chopping block in then next couple of weeks, myself). Cas at least makes it to the 2-hour finale, since he's apparently getting himself into big trouble... which is why people are saying he's going to die (it's like the Michael spoiler from last year... the one about him getting into a fight with Mike, and not coming out of it so hot.)
Here's to hoping we get Cas overload. Gods know we need it.

Dude, is he? Cuz his name doesn't appear in the credits, does it? I mean, even in eps he isn't in? Maybe I'm just completely out of it, haven't watched an ep since the middle of the first half :P
I don't know...I feel like if he was going to die (for real, I mean), they would have planted him all over the place and really jerked our hearts around over him throughout the rest of the season.

Yeah, it does XD I know: I pay obsessive amounts of attention to the credits. It always says "Starring: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins"... But ONLY in the episodes he appears in, no matter how long he's in it.
Touche. But you never know with this show. They killed Ellen and Jo out of nowhere. Killed Gabriel out of nowhere too. And Crowley.
Reply
See??? Yeah, that is bastardly though, when they list him and he's there for all of a frakking line.
These are all true...frak. But then again, people never *really* die on this show :P I mean, isn't Jo even coming back this season? And possibly Gabriel?
Reply
Well, they said Ellen AND Jo would be coming back as ghosts, and that Kali would show up again. Ben Edlund said he wanted to find a way to bring Gabriel back, but when someone asked Sera about Gabriel, she laughed it off... So far, still no word on Ellen, Jo, Kali, OR Gabriel.
....Though we are getting Lenore back.

Lenore...Lenore...why am I picturing the awesome psychic from Season 1ish who kept bursting Dean's bubble? ^^
Reply
Sorry, bb. That's Missouri. Lenore is the vampire from season 2 that didn't eat humans. The one that Gordon was gonna kill, even though she'd never hurt anyone that Sam and Dean saved.

Interview clip with Misha; he made a point of saying that he's playing both himself AND Cas in the meta ep.... Commence praying for Cas and Misha to meet...
