Supernatural: As Time Goes By (2013)
Swan song?
I never thought I would ever find Supernatural boring but this season is really mortally boring. There's no plot besides this Kevin Tran thing lingering in the back, Dean thinks he's a wonder with his heavy fake tan and throws faces and nasty jokes to everyone all the time, Sam is dealing with some stuff, again, but less convincingly this time, Castiel is not enough on screen but comes just to add a layer to that old humorless-angel and naive behavior, Crowley has no more trick in his sleeve ...
So they count on other character to put some kind of rhythm in it, such as Garth or Charlene (?) but that's not enough when titans like Bobby or Lucifer are no longer here to support the adventures of Sam and Dean.
Even in this episode, where we meet an important member of the Winchester family, which would be impossible in real life, I wasn't convinced. Now that every Winchester has been met, what's left to boost the story? The grandma? However, the character of their grandfather (father side)was pleasant. We apparently have to believe that everyone in this family was a model-type man, and there's the fact that a man living in the fifties, with a very correct language, understands perfectly Dean's mumbling and slang. Okay. But besides that, the story was nice to watch.
It also brings an important question : will there be a legacy to Sam and Dean? Winchesters and Campbells were married and had children but it seems impossible for these two. Will it be on their shoulders to eradicate every single nasty thing on earth?
I hope the show will bounce back because that's a real crime to waste such good material.

Go Sam/Jared !
Padalecki is not featured in a lot of movies and it's mostly the same kind so it's hard to declare if he is a good actor or not. But that man is awesome at playing the nice guy with heavy problems.
In Supernatural, I discovered he had real acting skills when he played the "bad guy" (possessed, soulless, etc.) and I go more with Dean's boldness but my heart aches every time I see "little Sammy" with all that devilish crap falling on him, trying to resist while knowing he's pretty much alone to understand what he's going through (think S7 ep17 for ex.).
It's kind of a "Jesus-like" fate, and J.P. knows really well how to carry that ; he gets me every time, though I'm normally tired real quick with endless drama. It also makes it more important when we (rarely) see him smile or have fun.
Bravo, Padalecki...

Kai the villain
I must say, this Kai is by far the best villain I have ever seen in six seasons of The Vampire Diaries.
Christopher Wood is not only really handsome, but to me his acting in this role makes him close to a perfect Patrick Bateman played by Christian Bale, which is a "tour de force" for a young (?) actor who's been in a few TV shows so far.
Completely convincing, makes you laugh and annoyed at the same time and this saves the show from becoming really boring with all the never ending love dramas.
Too bad Wood's IMDb page is not up to date, we don't even have his date of birth...
