Beware of flickering lights....

raloriaI'm still reveling in the aftermath of S2's season finale, but I just had to make a quick post in advance of my big review.
In one word, this season finale was outstanding. Great work all the way around - with the writing, direction, camera work, lighting, and acting. We got some more questions answered, the big bad finally got killed off, and we ended on a satisfying note instead of a major cliffhanger. I'm very happy! And I'm already anticipating Season Three!!!! Four more months, four more months!
Here's a promo pic from one of the best scenes from last night...
So I'll be working on my big review with caps over the weekend. I'm gonna try my best to keep the cap count under a hundred this time. It won't be easy, but I will do what I can. Then there's typing up my review w/quotes and such, uploading the caps, recording audio from the key moments and scenes, uploading those, and then finally putting together the review on my LJ. So hopefully *crosses fingers* by Monday, my review will be up.
Just some little tidbits:
* I quickly switched to ABC to watch the Lost special after SPN ended only to find out Grey's Anatomy was going over by 15 min.! Grrrrrr! Had to watch some of dumb Grey's. Thankfully, the Lost special was well worth waiting for. It was a nice overview of all the known facts and it helped clear up some of the confusion. I feel ready to see the season finale now.
* After the Lost special, I went back to my recording of SPN to remove the commercials and then watch the eppy one more time. During the second viewing, I kid you not, the lights in the house flickered a few times. All I could think was, "OMG! The YED's coming back!" LOL! It was too weird. No wind or storm outside either. Weatherwise everything was perfectly calm. So bizarre!
* On a sad note, I just found out Supernatural Media is no more! *Waaaaaah* That's where you could always get the best promo images for the episodes. They were always hi-res and gorgeous! And worst of all, I never finished saving all the additional photos they'd been posting from Season One! Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh! Where am I gonna get those images now?
* No Jared or Jensen at the upfronts yesterday morning. Understandable that Jared wasn't there with his movie filming and all, but Jensen was there for a party the night before. Word is, he didn't want to attend the upfronts without Jared. I've read where some fans are a bit upset about him not going. They say he still should've gone to help represent the show. Well, to me, it sounds like the announcement for SPN & Smallville's renewel was a minor one. They were shown briefly in the opening montage, but otherwise they were kind of overlooked so the network could lavish its attention on its new shows. This is kind of understandable. They want the new shows to do well, so they're pushing them hard. SPN (& Smallville) are already well established. It's like "yeah, they're returning, now let's talk about the new shows". Besides, I'm sure Jensen's exhausted from all the traveling he's been doing. First Tokyo, then the UK, and who knows how many trips back here to the states inbetween. That hectic schedule would wear anyone out. Maybe he was told there wasn't going to be a big deal made over the show at the upfronts so he opted out? Who knows. Sure it would've been great to see him there, but after all, he's got a play to prep for. He's certainly keeping busy during his "break".
