Supernatural: Abandon All Hope First Look

Cynthia — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:52:27 +0000

There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is we have a first look video for this week’s episode of Supernatural called “Abandon All Hope. ” There’s more good news in that it stars Mark Sheppard as the deliciously evil Crowley. That’s not Mark in the photo there. He wasn’t in any of the promo photos for this episode but Dean’s looking right at him, so that’s something. . . huh?

You may know Mark from his recurring role as Sterling, Nate’s biggest foil on Leverage, which is already a six-degrees-of-Supernatural because of Aldis Hodge and Chris Kane. Mark also played Romo Lampkin on Battlestar Galactica and we love, love, love seeing him on TV.

Now for the bad news: this will be the last new episode of Supernatural until January 14 2010. It’s true. Got it straight from The CW and I’m not happy about it either. We usually get one or two new episodes between now and the holiday break but I guess since they premiered the show so early this year, they have no choice but to break early.

Forget the bad news for now and enjoy this clip from Supernatural: Abandon All Hope which comes to you from The CW.

Those serious ladies of Battlestar Galactica are playing it for laughs in November when both Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackoff guest star on two CBS sitcoms.

First up it’s Tricia Helfer on the November 16th episode of Two and a Half Men.

In “The Moustache Attachment,” Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor) invites her beautiful college roommate, Gail (Tricia Helfer) to stay at the house while she gets over a bad breakup and Charlie (Charlie Sheen) dreams of threesomes. (Photo: Greg Gayne/WB ©2009 Warner Bros. Television. All Rights Reserved.)

Next, on November 23, Katee Sackoff plays herself on The Big Bang Theory’s “The Vengeance Formulation.”

After he’s humiliated on National Public Radio, Sheldon vows to destroy Kripke (? LOL), while Wolowitz tries not to destroy his new relationship with Bernadette. Katee Sackhoff appears as herself, offering Wolowitz some relationship advice.

Two lovely ladies and two very funny comedies. You can’t beat that.

There are plenty of people out there who have nothing but bad things to say about fans and fandom. Me? I say, fans know how to get things done. Their charity efforts are some of the best on the planet and to prove it, I’m going to ask you to do something simple.

This is for the Battlestar Galactica fans. We want you to fight for humanity by sponsoring Katee Sackhoff and her team, The Frak Up, as they take part in AIDS WALK L.A. on October 18

It’s so frakkin’ simple, any nugget could do it…

Coming up on Warehouse 13

Cynthia — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:06:22 +0000

Look at this duo! There’s something about this pairing that makes me think we’re in for a wild ride. That’s Saul Rubinek, the curator of Warehouse 13 and with him is the charming Allison Scagliotti. She’ll be joining the cast in a few weeks.

Before that, we’ve got Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer guesting in tomorrow night’s episode about a band of bank robbers who don’t need guns to subdue a crowd.

For you Joe Flanigan fans, the former Stargate Atlantis star will appear in the August 4 episode “Elements” along with one of my other favorite actors, James Naughton.

Warehouse 13 airs Tuesdays 9:00 on Syfy.
