My announcement for New Girl and B99 fans:

Okay, so this post may get long but it’s only because there’s a lot to talk about.

So you all may have noticed my quietness over the past few weeks, especially since Brooklyn Nine-Nine started. The reason for that was over the summer, it seems the head of publicity changed at FOX and since then, I had to re-register for press privileges and have also been emailing back and forth with people over there trying to figure out the screening room situation.

The thing is, I have yet to get a definite answer one way or another about my screening room privileges. So while I can’t say that I officially don’t have access to the screening room, it is still a possibility since at the moment, I only have access to photos and press releases, etc. And it seems this has been happening with a lot of other press outlets/blogs from what I’m seeing.

So that is the reason for the quietness; I’m just still trying to work everything out. I wanted to post this, though, so everyone’s aware of the situation. Having said that, please don’t fully freak out and think my previewing days are over, because that’s not technically the case yet. But if that ever does happen, I promise to let you all know.

Finally, I just want to say, regardless of what happens with all of this, I’ve had so much fun writing previews for you guys and talking to you all about two of my favorite shows for the past four years. And even if I am not able to post previews about New Girl or B99 anymore, I will still be here to talk about them and discuss theories and whatnot with all of you. Plus, I am more than happy to post any press information I do get.

For the New Girl fans, I know this will especially be a bummer seeing as this is the final season coming up and I know for me, personally, I was really looking forward to previewing it for you all. But hopefully I can work it out by then and if not, I will still be on here, freaking out about every moment right along with you.

Please if you have any questions/concerns/thoughts about this, feel free to send them my way and I will answer as many as I can.

Thanks so much.

-Aly

A must read. This applies to my Gotham previews as well.

Supernatural SDCC 2017

After the heartbreaking season finale that saw the brothers facing Lucifer on an alternate earth, the brothers now face the loss of their mother, Crowley and Castiel. While their mother is trapped on that alternate earth with Lucifer and Bobby, the brothers will be disagreeing a lot this season. Dean wants to move on and mourn their mother, while Sam believes she is alive and needs their help. Meanwhile, Dean will want to go after Lucifer's son, while Sam will want to appeal to the son's human side. It'll be a chaotic season to be sure, but can the brother's unite, or will they break apart? Plus, expect a back door pilot for the highly anticipated spinoff, Wayward Sisters, starring fan favorite Sheriff Jodi Mills and other favorite female characters.
