When we last left the town of Eureka, Sheriff Carter (Colin Ferguson) was on the outs and Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) announced that she was pregnant. Now Eureka is coming back and they’re picking up exactly where they left off so you won’t be left wanting! (SPOILERS)

Having been fired from his job as Sheriff, Carter gets a new job with Homeland Security which means packing up and leaving Eureka. Daughter Zoe is none to happy about the prospect of leaving her school and her friends — actually, no one is happy about the idea of Carter leaving, including Carter. But what’s an ex-Sheriff to do?

Carter’s replacement comes in the form of Sheriff Andy, a high-level, computer driven, humanoid simulation. He’s smart, polite, dedicated and intolerable! But the real question is, can he handle the unique problems that arise in a town like Eureka?

Here’s Part II of Liana B’s detailed road map for the Supernatural season finale! Did you miss Part 1? Read it here.

Supernatural: Pre-Finale Preoccupation Part II

(Spoiler warnings? not needed… other than the episode title, photos and description provided by the network, we members of the SFA - Spoiler Freaks Anonymous — have been in serious withdrawal symptoms going into the finale.  Speculation will run rampant, though!  And keep in mind that points are generalities; your views will most likely differ. Part I covers the players, Part II covers the issues.)

We can count the hours now before we get some answers to questions that we’ve been struggling with all season long.  Just a few endless hours to close out season four and set the groundwork for season five.  The riffs of “Carry on My Wayward Son” have become a tradition for each finale and while budget cuts have severely affected the signature classic rock this season, this song’s presence has become tradition.

The players are all in place on the chessboard of the impending Apocalypse.  In one corner we have Heaven and The Angels, with our beloved Castiel, his boss Zachariah, and the dearly-departed Anna who was much more interesting as a human who could hear angels talking in her head than she ever was as a fallen angel.  In the other corner we have the minions of Hell led by Lucifer, and with demons Ruby and Lilith making a power play for Queen Bee.  And smack in the middle of it all are the Winchester Brothers, brave, stubborn, determined, broken, and each drawn by diverging destinies to stop the rise of Lucifer.  For the first time in four seasons, it appears that they will be fighting towards these end means separately.  And it better be the last time… because there is something completely and intrinsically wrong in using the words ‘Winchester’ and ‘separate’ in the same sentence.

For once, I got it right. For the first time since I began watching Fringe, I figured out the twist before it happened. I owe myself a cookie — a really big one with lots of chocolate chips — because normally I walk away from Fringe more confused than not. But not this time. Let’s talk about Peter and Walter.

For weeks now, the writers have been leaving us clues about Peter’s past. We had Walter referencing Peter’s serious illness and allusions to experiments that were conducted on the boy. But more telling were all the times that Peter insisted Walter was the one with the faulty memory when ever they talked about his childhood. We were supposed to put this off to selective memory enduced by the trauma of his illness, but I didn’t buy that for a minute. The one that got me was when Peter was looking through a box of toys that Walter claimed were his but he said they weren’t his toys. I said, hmm…it feels like maybe Peter isn’t really Walter’s son. Well, I was close, right?

A few days ago, I put up three clips from the season finale of Supernatural and the comments came in by the bucket load. It wasn’t the number that surprised us, it was the length and intensity of the comments. So, in an effort to find a middle ground between the sides (and there are more than two at this point), we went to our favorite Supernatural guest poster Liana for a few final words.

Supernatural — Pre-Finale Preoccupation Part I

(Spoiler warning? nah, not really… other than the description provided by the network, we members of the SFA — SpoilerFreaks Anonymous — have been in serious withdrawal going into the finale.  Speculation will run rampant, though!  And keep in mind that points are generalities; your views will most likely differ. Part I covers the players, Part II covers the issues.)

SEASON FINALE TIME

Hard to believe we have reached the 22nd episode already. And thanks to the early generosity of The CW, it is a season  finale and not a series finale.  Unlike other seasons, this one seems to have sped right by. But then again, that’s what happens when you are presented with something so truly entertaining, creatively impressive, and completely enjoyable to watch.  Something that one looks forward to every week in great anticipation.  Something that provides so much food for thought that the week in between seems shortened by participating in countless discussions analyzing what was presented.  This is the point where folks tell us devoted fans that we need to ‘get a life’.  Well, I often work 8-10 hours a day, take care of family, spend time with friends, and worry about finances — I have a life! This is simply my way of escaping it for a bit since the problems of the Winchesters truly make my own pale in comparison.  I used to make fun of the Trekkies for their obsession, but now I understand it.  Speaking of which, I wish ‘Supernatural’ lent itself to a cool nickname, like Trekkies, X-Philes, Losties… the ‘Supernaturalies’ just doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.  Of all the possible nicknames I’ve heard for the fandom, SuperFreaks seems to be a catchy one, although it makes us sound like something Sam and Dean would hunt.
