Happy birthday, raloria! I hope you have an excellent day, hon, and many happy returns. :D

Unrelated public service announcement: today is Blog Like It's The End of the World day, so if you see zombies posts on your flist, that would be why. I'm probably not taking part myself, but I thought I'd mention it so nobody's taken off-guard like last year.

Happy Friday the 13th! Also known as the last day of shooting for the Friday the 13th remake. Interesting fact: the remake will be released on the very next Friday the 13th on the calendar -- Friday, Feb. 13, 2009.

Getting along with the writers: you're doing it wrong.

Ken Levine on Katherine Heigl's slam of Grey's Anatomy writers:

If I were producing that show her part would be reduced to giving enemas.

Background: Heigl was recently quoted as saying she removed herself from Emmy consideration because she wasn't given worthy material to work with this year.

Battlestar Galactica gets TV movie, extended season 4.5

The Watcher says not only is it "almost certain" that at least one Battlestar Galactica TV movie will be made this year, but the second part of the fourth season (which airs in early 2009) will be extended to 12 hours instead of 10.

The last episode of the current run of season 4.0 will air tonight on SciFi.

Jensen's "one of the good ones", says My Bloody Valentine 3-D writer Todd Farmer

This is just a small thing but I found it endearing. I guess it was day one. I had not yet been introduced to Mr. Ackles. And there was no guarantee that I would be. Writers tend to drool, belch and break wind so the powers that be like to keep up away from the talent. Truth is, writers, we do our part early on. We may tweak a line or two during production or make a quick change due to budget restraints but our job is to stay out of the way once the cameras start rolling. We become both unseen and forgotten. So, I was well hidden in the shadows across the set from where Jensen was shooting a very intense scene. Cut. Then as the crew moved camera and lights for the next set up, Jensen crossed the entire set. I remember looking up and thinking, hmm, wonder where he's going. Turns out he was coming to introduce himself to me.

Looks, talent and just a wonderfully nice guy. Keep him safe, Fandom, he's one of the good ones.

To which all of fandom says "...duh."

Mention of Supernatural and online fanbases, and new (to me) wet promo

Copywriteink has a post about thewb.com (now in beta), which allows members to watch episodes of TV shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Veronica Mars, The OC and Friends.

What will be especially interesting is if the new site might even provide viewers another opportunity to resurrect some shows that did not perform well according to Nielsen ratings. Several had developed strong Internet fan bases, including Veronica Mars, Moonlight, and Supernatural.

Moonlight fans found out their show was cancelled in May while Veronica Mars fans are still working hard to see their favorite detective move from the small screen to the big screen. (Supernatural has at least one more season left on The CW; we hope many more.) According to fans, all of these shows have a following that is not well represented by Nielsen.

In conclusion, have some wet boys. :)
