It’s seemingly official, and that is that the Supernatural character, Bobby Singer, is dead. But that’s OK, since Jim Beaver is headed off to Justified!

Bobby Singer is a character played by Jim Beaver on the CW network series, Supernatural. The series stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, brothers, who up until now, have depended heavily from time to time on their mentor, Bobby’s help.
Idjits.
But when Bobby was shot, I wasn’t too worried because several months prior, Sera Gamble said that he’ll be a fixture for many seasons to come.
When Bobby Singer, played by Jim Beaver, was first shot in the head during an episode of Supernatural, I wasn’t too worried. When he lay there in the hospital bed in a coma in a subsequent episode, I still wasn’t too worried.
I was wondering what exactly will happen and how they will deal with this life-altering moment with Bobby’s character in Supernatural.
And I wasn’t worried because in June of 2011, the news was that even though Jim Beaver wasn’t full-time on the show, that it worked out perfectly for him to be a part-time cast member/character.
Sera Gamble (Supernatural‘s showrunner) said that we will be seeing Bobby Singer in season 7 of Supernatural and called the character a fixture. She even touched on enjoying his being part-time and about the possibility of his going full-time in future seasons.
Wow, was that not a powerful episode of Supernatural or what? The last episode of Supernatural saw the Leviathon, Dick Roman, put a bullet in Bobby Singers (Jim Beaver) head.
The following TV review is full of SPOILERS, so proceed at your own risk!
In the mid-season finale episode titled “Death’s Door,” we find ourselves split between two worlds. The one where Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) are waiting, worried, in the hospital, and the other where Bobby is floating around through various memories of his life.
Bobby runs across the deceased Rufus (Steven Williams) [It was good to see Rufus again!] and other memories like when as a child, confronting his abusive father.
All the while, Bobby is trying to fend off, run from or stall the reaper from taking him.

Supernatural Recap
As the Supernatural episode started, I feared that what we were seeing in the first 15 minutes was going to be some silly collection of scene recaps. I feared the doldrums. Silly me, what was I thinking?
-Andy Rooney passed away Friday, a mere one month after signing off with his last telecast on the 60 Minutes news broadcast. Andy Rooney was 92 and died from complications from what’s called a minor surgery.
He was a cornerstone of wry wit, reflecting on trends and fads with that usual, “Why do we really need it” kind of perspective. His observations left no stone unturned as he pondered being a pack-rat, hoarding celebrity autographs and the latest social trends on the internet.
He was always on the leading edge of what ever was happening and he was mostly always right for the thirty-three years that he spouted his observations WHY? on the air.

So the after-Friday reports are coming out and without baseball going on, other shows benefited from that. Or at least that’s how it’s being spun in some circles.
For Grimm fans (Check out my Grimm season premiere TV review), it’s numbers dropped, but still beat out the other genre show, Fringe. (5.9 vs 3.3 million estimated viewers.)
Nothing says terrible luck like getting a new show that makes the cut, and then getting cut for a few weeks by sports!
New Girl found itself getting a full season pickup by Fox, but then now the show is on hiatus until November 1. For the next three weeks, in its place, will be the MLB playoffs, X Factor and the World Series.
And if we all remember, when shows get put on breaks, it sometimes is a crap shoot that folks will remember they liked it when it comes back.
But it’s only three weeks, so we’ll see how that goes.

Over on TV Line they were chatting about Castiel’s (Misha Collins) “event” that took place in last Friday’s episode where he… (If you saw the episode of Supernatural, you know where I’m going. If not, I won’t spoil it for you.)
But because of what’s chatted about here, there may be spoilery info following suit! So tread carefully!
Now previously in May, the news about Misha Collinsrole on Supernatural wasn’t going away, but that he would be on the series in a limited capacity. In fact, back then, the news TV Line had was that he won’t be full-time.

Supernatural Trailer
The seventh season of The CW’s Supernatural is coming our way pretty fast. The premiere of season seven is taking place on September 23rd, 2011.
In the first episode, titled “Meet the New Boss,” cast that will be showing up include Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver and Julian Richings as Death.
If you remember, Misha is not full-time this season and I’m not sure how they’ll play out his story line as Castiel. I guess we’ll wait and see.
For now though, here’s a preview of the upcoming season premiere of Supernatural:
Here’s a quick little round up of a few casting pieces of news for The Vampire Diaries, Game of Thrones, CSI: Miami & Glee & American Idol!
The Vampire Diaries
Sebastian Roché is joining The Vampire Diaries as a vampire hunter… that ain’t good. He usually always plays strong characters… and this character seems to be going after Klaus. The interesting part about Roche’s character, is that Klaus, who isn’t afraid of anyone, is afraid of this guy.
It sounds good.
