New Outlander cover for TV Guide Magazine

[jbuffyangel]

I AM SUPER EXCITED and also a little confused....

Let’s talk about the happy first because this is a rainbows and sunshine zone.

This slice of entertainment news is EVERYWHERE. TVline, Hollywood Reporter, IGN, TVGuide, etc. That’s very good news. It’s not a 100% guarantee the CW will pick up the spin off, but we’re a lot further down the road than I anticipated at this point. 

The fact they are using one of Arrow’s last episodes for a backdoor pilot, even though I think we technically had one in 7x16 already, also says to me this is very close to being a go at the CW. And yes, my girl Katherine McNamara is one of the headliners. Ben Lewis (William) and Joseph David Jones (Connor) aren’t part of the “official” announcement, but there’s no doubt in my mind they will be part of the show.

Marc, Beth, Katherine and Juliana were all tweeting about it too, which means they can finally talk about it publicly. Oddly not a peep from KC.

BUT I’m a little confused about the canary aspect. We don’t have enough canaries with Zoe? I truly was not expecting K*tie C*ssidy or Juliana Harkavy to be part of the spin off at all, but eh whatever.

Why am I whatever? Well, I don’t have a deep hatred of the canaries like some folks do (which is totally understandable and absolutely in their right to dislike those characters). This is a big year for my relationship with KC. If Season 8 keeps the same “L*urel” we met in Season 7 then I think I’ll be good with her character. I’m neither here nor there on Dinah. If she’s not bad mouthing Felicity every two seconds and maybe develops more of a personality then hopefully my apathy will grow to caring. We’ll see. 

For some reason, in order to have a Green Arrow show the executive producers feel there needs to be a Bl*ck C*nary element. Do I feel that is necessary? Absolutely not. I would much prefer they focus only on OTA: The Next Generation. I think we have canaries covered with Zoe.

However, their approach to marketing the spin off isn’t any different than their marketing for Arrow. Mia, William and Connor appeal to the Olicity fan base and Laurel, Dinah and Zoe appeal to the LL/BC/comic canon fan base. As Olicity fans, we just want the show to be about OTA and Olicity. Comic canon purists want it focused on BC/GA. The EPs refuse to pick sides. They keep all the characters instead which leaves both sides equally happy and unhappy. Nobody gets what they want.

But when you look at the landscape of Arrow, which characters get the most focus? Which characters are the most popular? OTA and Olicity. I have a feeling it will be much of the same with Mia, William and Connor (plus JJ if I get my love triangle). They might be using the canaries to market the show to appeal to the comic purists, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get a major focus. 

We’ve seen them do this time and again with Arrow. They promote KC/JH as one of the “stars” and “series regular” but her actual footprint on the show is much less than the promotion made it seem. Keep in mind, series regular isn’t guaranteed 23 episodes. It just means the actor has to prioritize the show over any other projects. 

Then again I could be wrong and it’ll be a canary palooza. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll hate it. I’m not speaking for anyone else. Just me. This doesn’t deter me from watching the spin off if it gets picked up, but I’m not guaranteeing I’ll love it either. I’m going to watch the back door pilot. I’m keeping an open mind at this point. I’ll make the decision to turn the channel or not on another day. 

Keep in mind they are in the development phase too. So get loud about what you love and quiet about what you hate. Networks don’t discriminate regarding positive and negative reactions. It’s all buzz to them.

Pictured: My Venmo address (@StreamworthyTV, for any donations to keep the channel going), as well as some pics of me, both after and before before I got ill with physical disabilities (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, MCAS, POTS/dysautonomia) & psych issues (like depression, anxiety, & agoraphobia, after I was pushed from my job...shortly after I first showed up in my chair - despite having the highest performance rating possible).

WHAT IS @StreamworthyTV ALL ABOUT?

#StreamworthyTV is meant to be a free, quick resource, for all major streaming platforms. We cover #Netflix, #Hulu, #PrimeVideo, #DisneyPlus, & even #AppleTV. (Other platforms, like #Starz, & #HBO, may also be added, based on demand!)

WHAT DO I OFFER?

I see myself as a sort of #TVGuide for the most popular, relevant streaming platforms. I’ll let you know about #arrivals & #departures to each platform, while also providing other news/info, such as #renewals, #cancellations, & #recommendations. If I haven’t seen a show or movie, I do my best due diligence, researching IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, & box office numbers, to help factor in recommendations.

All news & updates are COLOR-CODED for your convenience, to help you quickly find what’s related to each platform. These colors were set as those most associated with the platform...so Netflix updates are outlined in red, Hulu in light green, PrimeVideo in blue, Disney+ in gold/yellow (since blue was already taken!), & AppleTV is in white or black, based on the image.

Info is also set up to be read quickly. Info on new shows is set up as follows:

PLATFORM:

GENRE(S):

QUICK INFO:

THE DEETS:

(Any links are at the bottom of a post.)

Starting off with the platform means that you don’t read all about a show you don’t have access to, & keeping the genre at the top also helps you find programming you’ll be interested in. The separation of “Quick Info” vs “The Deets” lets YOU decide just how much you want to read about a program, and if you want more detailed information, or not. And any links are conveniently found at the bottom of a post, just above any hashtags.

I will also be offering specially curated, cross-platform lists, such as the upcoming “Actor of the Week.” This will let you know where to find all of a popular actor or actress’ work, ACROSS platforms. For example, if you want to go on a #TomHanks binge, we’ll let you know where to find each of his movies that are available, across the major platforms. Then you can watch them all, or only watch what’s on the platform that you have...so every Hanks fan wins! (Hit up my comments or DMs to make any actor suggestions!!)

I will also have other curated lists (you’ll have to wait on those...#TopSecret!!). Plus, I’ll soon have some of these lists up on #YouTube, along with some reaction videos, some review videos on #hiddengems and #oddities that I’ve found, & some comedy clips on movies/shows I’ve found that were flat out #CRINGE AF!!

😱There will also be...FREE GIVEAWAYS!!😱

WHO IS BEHIND StreamworthyTV??

My name is Kelly, & I became disabled, physically and psychologically, over the past few years...the pic on the left is of me now, while the pic on the right was just a few short years ago, when I was capable of working and commuting long hours, and doing 10ks, & even a half-marathon! I’m a hard worker, but my conditions - #EhlersDanlosSyndrome, #MastCellActivationSyndrome, #POTSsyndrome/#dysautonomia, now require me to use a #powerchair.

Once I showed up to my last job in my chair, despite having a pristine record, and the highest rating possible - I was soon pushed out, via refusal to grant me #accessibility (after previously enduring #bullying & #discrimination for years, once it was known that I had health issues).

Because of the #trauma that I faced in how I was treated by my job, I was soon caught in a deep #depression, facing #anxiety, panic attacks, & #agoraphobia. These issues worsened my physical conditions, causing many flareups. My job found a way to make me lose 6/8 months of free insurance coverage I was to get from my union, after I tried to file a lawsuit. My health, not surprisingly, further spiraled out of control. I was too ill too work, and was in fact #bedbound for over 2 full years.

In working towards “making a comeback at life” I wanted to find - or CREATE - a job that fit within the parameters of what I could still do...watch TV, research things online, be a wiz at organization, make great art, & write well (all channel art & write-ups, unless stated otherwise, are my own!). Also, I have a hell of a sense of humor, that I can’t WAIT to share on #YouTube!! I have materials ready to set up, & several treatments (scripts) nearly or partially finished.

Plus, I love to help people, and to make things easier for them. I’m a proud #Aspie, & I know that this channel will be the most efficient way of finding all you need, about ALL THINGS STREAMING!! I just need a bit more time to finish setting up some templates and get into a groove, and after that, I’ll always have you on the cutting edge!

I’m eventually hoping that this is a success, that I can maybe even get a Patreon for!! But until then, you can decide if you’d like to help me continue to release content - which will ALWAYS be free - on my new Venmo account, @StreamworthyTV. This channel is a lot more work than some may realize, and all money donated will go towards things like my #healthinsurance, my #medications, durable medical equipment (like the upkeep of my powerchair), & towards funding professional training lessons for my #servicedogintraining, @TheWorkingWigglebutt.

Mikka has been owner-trained for the most part, to this point...& has an amazing sense of smell, with many natural alerting/medical response instincts. However, my agoraphobia & other health issues, as well as costs of training being too high, contributed to her not getting enough socialization. She already does several tasks for me at home, but could really use the training to learn more, & also to learn how to behave as a proper SD in public, so that she doesn’t need to remain as only an “at home” service dog. (I may post a video of her doing a fantastic medical response revival for me, when I’d only had her 4 months - in the future.) Mikka definitely has service dog potential, & at not quite 16 months, she still has time to make the changes that I need from her, in order for her to help me in public (and perhaps to make me feel safe enough to break me of my agoraphobia!)

In any case, thanks so much to anyone that has taken the time to read!! I look forward to helping you find what to watch, whether you can contribute financially, or just with like, follows, comments, & shares!! (And don’t worry, I won’t repeatedly bother you for 💰!) As always, happy streaming!!

SPN Season 15 Spoiler Sheet, update 10/14

Episode one down! Hope everyone enjoyed. Not too much this week after the glut of info of last week. Some photos from ep 3 is pretty much all we got. No episode description yet for ep 4, so that confirms the ep is unlikely to air on Halloween so we will have a one week hiatus. Under the cut!

General Info (oldest to newest)

There is likely to be 20 episodes

They are filming the 4th episode 1st, which Jensen is directing

Returning this year are: Rowena, Ketch, Eileen, Amara, Adam, and Kevin

Jared and Jensen know the ending. Jensen struggled with it at first. Misha does not know the ending as of SDCC

Matt Cohen and Richard Speight Jr. will direct

Sam, Dean, and Cas will struggle with the concept of free will and if they ever really had it

The focus will be more on Hell than Heaven

There is hope to wrap up some Wayward Daughters storylines in the back half of the season

They are adding a whole extra day to filming to do the final scene (Implies logistics- lots of returning people?)

Brad Bucker used the word “romance” when asked about Sam and Dean’s arcs. Did not specify who.

Chuck will be more of an absent protagonist in the 1st half of the season (but he in in ep 4)

At the beginning of the season Dean and Cas will still have a rift. They will reconcile “at some point”. Jensen claims as of script 4 they still have friction. This has been repeated several times, from Misha as well. He indicated Dean is still mad at Cas, but Cas doesn’t feel to blame for Mary’s death.

In an interview, Kripe indicated that the series ending would have “peace” for Sam and Dean

Not much new at the TCA’s, but it was said it is “unlikely” Jeffery Dean Morgan will be back since his last appearance was such a good end note. There were some jokes about a Castiel spin off. Hell, I’d watch.

There will be a special tribute ep, not clear if its one of the 20 or additional

Misha will be in 15 out of 20 episodes this season

According to Dabb, Sam and Dean are going to start to lose people who, in past seasons, we would’ve never lost — and lose them in a very real way. Our guys are going to realize there’s a certain finality, and some of the things they’ve relied on to get through the day — people, talents, things like that — they are no longer going to be able to roll out. And that’s going to throw them for a loop (Unfortunately, my guess in Rowena)

Also according to Dabb, Jack is still in the empty and “he’s not coming back in the near future” (this makes no sense. He’s on set for several episodes- interacting with the boys)

Cas’ deal with the Empty may come up later in the season.

Kevin will return.

Season 15 promo: https://youtu.be/V232RpcCdTY

Christan Kane (Leverage/Angel) will star as “Leo” an “old friend” of Deans.

Dabb intimated that Chuck was inherently responsible for killing Mary when asked how the boys would respond to Jack.

Adam Rose, who played Aaron Bass from the golem episode vauge-tweeted about working a show with two badass leads. Could be Supernatural, but I think the timing is off- he indicated he was filming late Friday night.

General season 15 promo- more of a retrospective: https://youtu.be/_hlkNQL5Ecg

Dabb compared Chuck and John Winchester, claiming that Dean would have to break free of “conditioning.” Also, for Jack “there have been cosmic forces fighting for his attention since he was in the womb — and that will continue. As much as this season is about Sam and Dean finding agency, it’s also about Castiel finding agency, and it’s about Jack finding agency. As always, death is never the end. It’s just part of the journey and that’s certainly true with Jack.”

Per Variety: At the outset of the season, the “Supernatural” foursome of Dean, Sam, Castiel and Jack are split up, but Dabb notes they won’t be for long because “ultimately this is a found family, and they have deep emotional bonds” that make up the most important part of the show.

Sam’s wound from the equalizer gives his powers/an advantage of some kind (per TVGuide)

Jack will be a critical part of the ending of the show

The cage/Adam is looking like it will be coming up for midseason

Shaving People, Punting Things: https://youtu.be/azTwku2uosA

The shaving promo, punting things promo shows glimpses or Lucifer!Sam and MOC!Dean, as well as bearded Dean in tactical equipment.

Episode 15x02

Title: Raising Hell

Sneak Peak:

Castiel? YES Jack ? YES (well, as Bel)

Guest stars: Ruth Connell, David Haydn-Jones, Rob Benedict, Osric Cho, Emily Swallow (?)

Other Spoilers/info :

A set was a high school set up to be a shelter.

Kevin, Chuck, Ketch and Rowena will be in this. Maybe Amara too. Emily Swallow was in town for only a short time, so I imagine it would just be a scene or two

Ghosts/zombies were seen on set. There will be a scene with Rowena attacking them that includes at least Dean and Cas.

There will be one longer scene in a park.

Alex was in sunglasses again - now we know as Bel

Ruth posted two vids of Misha claiming that he had filmed several scenes, but had no dialog - over three days so it must be a scripted reason (A spell? Chuck? Is he giving Dean the silent treatment?)

Ruth posted a video with her trailer, but the video showed Alex’s as well, so Jack

Misha posted from set in costume. Minus the coat again, but I’m still blaming the heat…. But he was without in the two Ruthie videos as well… soo……? I don’t know. I still think it’s a heat issue.

Night shoots are scheduled in a warehouse. Hand painted signs indicating quarantine were nearby

Kevin is back

Sneak Peak:

Castiel? Probably not  Jack? Probably not

Guest stars:  Rob Benedict

Other Spoilers/info:

Jensen directed

Misha will not be in this ep

SD Comic Con was during filming

Jensen mentioned  a guest star “fan favorite”  that hasn’t been seen since season 7 that is no longer in the business. Guesses include Becky, who hasn’t acted in a while but isn’t exactly a fan favorite, Meg, who hasn’t acted but she was in season 8, and Balthazar or Frank or Jo or Rufus, but all act frequently. Jensen doesn’t always have the most accurate season memory, so he could be off on the season. Since this seems like a Chuck episode, my guess is Becky but I hope for Meg. SOURCE UNCONFIRMED- I haven’t seen this in a reliable source, so take it with a grain of salt. UPDATE- sounds like Becky in the Shaving People, Punting things trailer.

There was a beaver mascot on set… it looks like they are filming at a school called Beaverdale

Jensen and Jared filed outside in fed suits

Chuck will be in this one. Jensen directed him first alone with his beard unshaved (so maybe a solo Chuck scene or him interacting with others/not the boys). There are also theories of a time jump in this ep.

This will be a one off, classic monster hunting episode with some ties to ongoing storylines. Sam and Dean will leave the bunker to keep their skills sharp

Dean will be in the bunker in tactical equipment with a BEARD- fighting someone

At least Ruth and Jared filmed in Rowena’s apartment

This will be a witch episode- Witches will invade Rowena’s apartment looking for books. They are very powerful. Dean gets thrown into a wall and Sam uses magic to stop them (from TVGuide)

Castiel ? Yes Jack ?

Other Spoilers/info :

Misha posted from set in new shoes- very shiny with well tailored pants. (The next day he posted in full Cas costume, so are the shoes a one off? Another outfit with new shoes?)

Misha and Jensen made a video from set. I feel like if Jared was around he would have been in it since it was about money raised?  Maybe a Dean Cas scene?

There will be a battle scene in this that Jensen mentioned he was looking forward to and we would enjoy.

After NJ Con, it appeared that Jensen returned to work, Jared and Misha stayed an extra day and then Misha went home.

Jensen and Christian filmed at a bar called Swazey’s. This was the fight scene Jensen was referring to.

At some point, Sam might be shirtless or we can see part of his chest- Jared had his anti-possession tattoo at the weekend convention.

Per TVGuide, Leo and Dean will have a wild night out in an effort for Dean to recapture his mojo. Dean will become the lead of a band called Dean and the Impalas, which is made up of Supernatural crew.

Osric Chau popped over to set, but he is filming on Legends of Tomorrow in the same studio.

Other Spoilers/info:

The first episode will start right where the previous left off

Misha posed with the John Wayne Gacy clown

Jensen posted a series of pics- one clean shaven, one vid of him shaving, and one where he    appeared to be in character with blood and dirt on his face and in Dean plaid, but with his beard… confusing- some time jump theories are developing for ep 4.

Jensen was photoed filming (wearing an FBI jacket)outside with Alex

Misha and Jared filmed outside with a woman and young girl. They were running from the clown guy and a few other zombie looking creatures. CAS WAS NAKED (haha just no trench) and holding a shotgun. It could have been rehearsal and there was no camera in the clip shared by a fan which might explain the coat? Another fan said it was hot and Misha kept taking the coat off, so I’m sure this just a piece of rehearsal footage.

Alex was filming in white sunglasses. Other set photos indicate he had makeup on his eyes making them look burnt out. There is some spec that Jack will come back blind.

Misha posted a pic of the 4 of them in the impala

According to Variety, the boys will escape the zombies in a temp shelter. They are working together, but Cas feel “detached.” Misha seems to indicate that Cas feels unfairly blamed in Mary’s death and is deeply upset about Jack.

According to TVGuide, after they fight past the zombies, they end up in a mausoleum. They end up making a “deal with the devil” to get out. This is particularly upsetting to Cas.

Posing as FBI agents, the boys seal off the town as a gas leak to contain the monsters temporarily.

Dean’s time in hell is brought up

Sam’s wound might have more meaning

Jack’s body is being used by an entity that will help the boys get out of the zombie situation.

1) What do u think is happening with GA? Lot of criticism and outrage all over media. ABC is quiet. KV and Shonda too. Crisis? Is it temporary? Can we still be positive about Omelia? I am worried that we will again get disappointed and not get anything resolved or addressed this season. I read this morning that Teddy will be in ep 17, and last 3 eps. Hard not to think her storyline will not involve her being with Owen. Why are they dragging everything so much? Also there is still no news that

I dont think the show has a crisis on, tbh. I think they are going through a season of changes and reinventions but I don’t see it as crisis. I am very positive about Omelia, more than I was during the last hiatus because we have seen promising signs of good things bound to happen. 

About Teddy, I haven’t see any indications that KR has filmed anything other than episode 17. If you have any sources, please share because I am sure other people would be happy to see them too. I am not very good at digging up info online but I checked her instagram account and some websites like tvline and tvguide and they all seem to mention the fact KR is staring in Designated Survivor, nothing about Grey’s. 

I really think Teddy’s presence will have more to do with April than Owen this time around. And the reason why it hasn’t been covered by the media is to avoid spoilers about April’s exit. The show probably didn’t share much either. The actresses’s exits may have seemed “sudden” to fans but I bet BTS it was in the works for a while. So much that this episode was filmed weeks prior to us knowing JC and SD were leaving the show.

[whatyouareiswhoilove]

This little gem from Duff in the TVGuide blurb about 5B is exactly the type of bait I used to take hook, line, and sinker: "That could make someone aggressive about achieving happiness" BUT, new "managing expectations" me knows better. This is really nothing more than what we already read in the TNT press release about (paraphrasing) "Flynn and Sharon inch down the path toward marriage" or whatever other troll-y bs we've been fed. So, in the interest of taking all of this at face value, here's my fearless prediction of what we're going to see onscreen: Premiere (b/c Duff always stuffs a bunch of Shandy* into the premieres) - Some casual mention from Andy about getting married. Sharon hesitates, but they're interrupted by Rusty, so end of discussion. Then at the end of the episode, she's suddenly more open to the idea and thinks they should talk. Fade to black before the actual discussion commences. *relatively speaking, of course End of the season (somewhere right before the finale or the actual finale) - Rusty casually mentions something about Sharon and Andy's wedding planning and how it's going (or more likely, how it's inconveniencing him). We all stare at each other in shock and wonder how they went from "open to talking about it" to suddenly planning a wedding. We spend weeks (if not months) wondering whether or not they're actually engaged or not and write numerous fics that attempt to fill in the Grand Canyon of a gap that is Sharon's reversal on the topic. Eventually, we'll all conclude that Duff's "spoiler" was actually meant as a qualifier for why Sharon changed her mind. See, he told us beforehand, so no need to cover it on the show. And, this is the BEST CASE SCENARIO! Lol. I love his show, I really do, but Duff's apparent boredom with the Shandy storyline is endlessly frustrating! Despite that, I really am looking forward to the new episodes!! Only two weeks to go!!
