Life, Fannishness, and Thespic Infatuation

Todd Stashwick is too busy guesting on my other shows to guest on SPN as the 'shifter in Purgatory.

Tonight he played a scarily demented druglord on "Revolution" (which, tonight's ep was pretty good, in that it kept my attention with the main storyline. I still haven't decided how I feel about the weekly flashbacks revealing a different character, though. It seems very . . . "Lost." And I only saw one ep of that show).

So we have Stashwick playing a homicidal shapeshifter on SPN, a thieving, homicidal conspirator on H50, and a scary homicidal druglord on Revolution. I'm sensing a pattern. Though his character on SPN had a comedically fun aspect, which was definitely missing from these other roles. Did I mention he was pretty darn scary tonight? (It's also odd to see him in color.)

. . . and other sundries.

Okay, gang. Everyone who's been telling me all the shows I should know Sarah Drew from? You know, the girl who played Nora on SPN on Thursday?

You're all wrong.

I know her from Wonderfalls.

And if you don't know what Wonderfalls is, you don't know what you're missing. Go. Now. Rent from 'Netflix. Seriously. Especially if you're a Pushing Daisies fan, because it's the same creator.

She was also on an episode of Numb3rs called "Angels and Devils." So that's where I've seen her most recently.

(Hey, Izhi? Remind me what that ep was about?)

So. I'm in the office by myself today, and I've been watching con clips while I'm writing up the minutes from last week's meeting. And I found this particular clip to hold an interesting tidbit of information. The section timestamped 0:45 - 2:00.

( Cut for actor-type ponderings )

I've been watching the Smallville DVDs I got recently. Okay, I've been skimming the discs and watching the story line in which Jensen plays a part.

Jason Teague is adorable. Well, for the first half of the season, anyway. And romantic. Unless he's whammied out on day-glo green sports drink. Then he's kinda scary.

I realize Jason kinda goes off the deep end in the second half of the season (which I'm getting into now). And it's really weird (and silly) that I, knowing that he left SV for to be on SPN, now want to watch Jensen's work in chronological order . . . which means starting over at the beginning of S1 SPN. Um, no. No time for that.

While most people might not think it that big a deal, I'm tickled that Jensen got to work with the likes of Jane Seymour. I house managed when she came to the PAC as part of the public library's speaker series, and though I did not get to meet her myself, she was pretty darn awesome. Very interesting and personable. And she had such a good time talking and answering audience questions that we 'bout had to haul her bodily off the stage. :-) Also, I remember first seeing her when she played Serena (Boxy's mom and Apollo's wife) on the original BG back when I was but a lass.

Also, John Glover, whom I don't know a whole lot about, but who I've always gotten the impression is a pretty heavy hitter and quite the coup when a show can cast him. (Or maybe I just think that because Geo and JT once thought that he would be perfect for a roll in one of their movies.)

Speaking of SPN, WIaWSNB continues to rock. For realz. I'm actually quite sorry they lost Raelle Tucker as a writer. She wrote or co-wrote some of the best eps out there. (I also think maybe she had a thing for Dean-peril, which, you know, kinda puts her and me on the same wavelength in that regard.)

The weather has been uncommonly cool this summer. Nothing like the horrible drought we had two summers ago when I first moved here.
