如果十天後沒人翻我再翻吧,這篇才剛出爐,某些大站應該會有人著手翻譯。
好消息是他應該是長駐演員了(雖然這表示著我又要開始杞人憂天地擔心劇組毀掉這個角XD),另一方面,Misha似乎樂於對SPN的故事侃侃而談。

Someone must have made a deal with the devil.
Defying the laws of television, which stipulate that series peak early and gradually dwindle, the CW horror series "Supernatural," now in its fourth season, is enjoying a ratings surge and all signs point to a renewal for a fifth year.
Much of the credit goes to series creator/executive producer Eric Kripke, who has crafted the series' current, supremely watchable Heaven vs. Hell/apocalypse-in-the-making story lines, and to stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who play Sam and Dean Winchester, the intrepid brothers who crisscross the country in their 1967 Chevy Impala, battling the forces of evil in all its many incarnations.
But there's also an unexpected gift from above: Castiel (Misha Collins), the handsome, trench-coat-sporting angel who earlier this season plucked Dean from Hell and who, with his partner Uriel (Robert Wisdom), continues to keep an eye on the
"I'm totally flabbergasted," Collins says. "I had no intimation that there would be any kind of reaction like this at all. I just thought it would be another recurring guest-star spot that would fade away real quick. But the fan reaction has been huge and - this is big news - if the show gets picked up for a fifth season, they're going to make me a regular on the show.
"And I think that's in large part due to the fan reaction, which has been really amazingly supportive and somewhat obsessive."
So is Castiel a good guy in a bad situation or a bad guy trying to avert a fatal fall? Collins, who at 34 has a list of credits that includes guest shots on "Charmed" (1999) and "Without a Trace" (2007), a recurring role as a Serbian assassin on "24" (2002) and a part in the romantic comedy/fantasy "Over Her Dead Body" (2008), votes for the former possibility.
"I would like to think that Castiel is a good guy in a bad situation," Collins says, speaking by cell telephone from
"I think that what's going on is that Heaven is not such a perfect place," he continues, "that it's not as perfect as we'd all like to imagine, and that there are a lot of bureaucratic machinations going on and sacrifices that have to be made along the way. I think the ends justify the means in the heavenly bureaucracy, and Castiel is not always necessarily happy with that.
"I could be totally wrong, but I think he's a good guy."
Castiel's personality and his relationships with Sam and Dean, as well as with Uriel, continue to evolve, much to Collins' satisfaction.
"In my mind Castiel is starting to develop an admiration for Dean and the stance that Dean seems to stake out as he goes along," Collins says. "And I have been sent as something of a protector of Dean. I mean, I rescued him from Hell.
"I think that Sam is a bit of a wild card in the eyes of the heavenly authorities," the actor says. "I think that we see him as being either a potentially great ally or a serious liability, and we're not really sure how that's going to play out in the end.
"Uriel, I think he's much more militant and more dogmatic than Castiel," Collins concludes, "and I don't frankly think that we get along that well, but we're sort of forced to work together.
"These are definitely subjective interpretations, but that's what I think."
Now that it's clear that Castiel will be sticking around awhile, Collins sees plenty of room for growth in the character.
After all, the new angel in town hasn't been in the company of flesh-and-blood mortals for more than 2,000 years.
有新Demo可下載了。在閃去的片段畫面中看到神祕學的圖騰時有皺一下眉頭。(毆)
嘎嘎嘎不過心理學也是可以用到的,但其實皺眉頭的原因是因為沒想到是那種東西讓我想下手去買救命啊(掩面)
黎明前的時刻最為黑暗/作者:小竹
總是這樣,他們總是在半夜裡將人帶走。台灣的人權水準或許看齊的真正對象不是中國,而是更強大、更穩固,服膺雙重思想、犯罪停止,高揭「戰爭即和平、自由即奴役、無知即力量」大旗的大洋國。因為當你選擇和平,戰爭就會化為電鋸發生在你的家門;當你盼望自由,奴役就要來到你身上;當你選擇無知,你就將擁有權力及暴力。
昨天晚上下班後,突然感到異常頭痛,九點鐘服藥之後就早早睡去。沒想到,七個小時之後,也就是凌晨四點,我在睡夢中接到一通來自自由廣場的電話。是主播群學生之一的神行,他的口氣緊張,因為現場已經出現了大批警察,手持警盾警棍,眼看驅離就要發生。我答應幫忙傳播訊息,而現場直播器材的狀況似乎不佳,也需要有人幫忙。
我在幫忙將訊息送上推特之後,一直注意著Justin.tv上的台北場直播狀況,而且再也睡不著,也沒辦法分心去做任何其他事;於是我在推特上預告了之後,便出門前往自由廣場,當時時間是凌晨四點半左右。
當我到達自由廣場時,第一批被驅離的圖博之友會人士,已經被全部載上警備車。警方刻意將這些大多不熟悉台北路況的圖博人,在深夜裡載往大湖公園或關渡等地「二次流亡」。圖博人沒有抵抗,只有懂得中文的人絕望地呼喊「馬英九總統,救救圖博」。後來在現場警察的說法:「如果不是你們(指野草莓)幫助他們,我們也不會去抬他們(指圖博人士)!」,也明示了野草莓運動與圖博訴求的結合,是今晨展開鎮壓行動的主因之一。
除了現場大約還有二三十名學生,以廣場地標草莓塔為中心,被數百名警察四面包圍之外,帳篷與物資堆積處已經被拆除,物資也散落一地。沒有被包圍住的學生,急迫地將重要的物資如發電機和電腦等等撤離到外圍路邊。而大部分的佈置物不是被卡車拖走,便是雜亂地堆積在一起等待清潔隊來處理。零星的學生一個個地將可用的物資盡量地搶救出來。
當我在人牆後方徘徊時,剛剛聯絡我的主播同學也找到了我,他是主播群中當時唯一未被驅離或包圍的倖存者,手上拿著兩台小筆電。這時,我們決定當下最重要的任務,就是儘快復播網路直播台,將現場的最新情況傳出去。3.5G網卡的連線狀況非常不理想,後來我們取得了一個WiFly帳號,就靠著這中山南路電燈桿上唯一的一個基地台維持轉播。
學生們不願撤離,而警方的反應也是預料中的:他們開始日常作業,也就是一個個拖上警備車。在這個混亂的過程中,有拿著相機記錄的學生被警察推倒在地,也有在粗暴的拉扯中受傷的。現場這時候已經有數家電視台的攝影記者在拍攝,但警方似乎並不以為意,還是繼續所有的驅離與拆遷動作。
這時是凌晨五點,天光開始微亮。我在轉播空檔裡,在推特上留下了一句感想。
「黎明前的時刻最為黑暗」
但,最黑暗的時刻之後,卻未必是黎明。除了警察之外,廣場上的所有人都努力地想渡過這一波考驗。他們知道,除了透過暴力和威嚇之外,政客不屑以其他任何方式與運動對話,但他們還是堅持下去,就像過去至今為止所做的一樣。
學生們非常緊張,但並沒有驚慌失措,所有的轉進動作與策略都在混亂中一一定下。包圍圈中的學生們毫無懼色地在盾牌與警棍環伺下高聲談笑,並且互相約定要回到自由廣場吃早餐;三小時後,他們實現了這份承諾,圖博之友會未被帶走的成員,訂購了兩大箱早餐,溫熱的奶茶與三明治比最早被載上車的圖博朋友還早回到現場,剛好趕上被送往台大的學生們回到廣場。
整個驅離的過程中,我除了抽上一根根悶菸之外,沒有排解情緒的方法。我只是逼自己專注在技術問題上,偶而充當不專業的主播告知網上觀眾現場的狀況。然而,在第一批學生回到廣場之後,以在廣場一角堆積的,看來像是遭遇到某種天災後的物資為背景,在學生們悲中帶喜的交談、討論之中,似乎仍然有著一種微弱但明亮的溫暖。我知道那是讓我來到現場的動力。
或許政府可以將草莓塔化為一捆竹竿和布條堆積而成的瓦礫;或許警察可以將帳篷解體成鐵條和帆布的殘餘;或許這些物質上的損失,會成為現場指揮官升遷敘獎的依據;但是,野草莓運動本身沒有受到任何傷害,反而會因為這次卑劣的夜襲行為,而更加凝聚了運動的向心力。因為,人的精神和尊嚴,才是學生們運動的主體,而這是不可能通過物理手段加以損毀的。
附帶一提,警方驅離的理由之一,是以交通法規將野草莓運動視為路障來處理。然而,幾個小時當中,真正行駛在廣場上的車輛,也只有警方清運的卡車而已。對這個在世界人權日結束後四小時,便扯下偽善面具,露出猙獰面目的政權來說,人權不過是形同具文的兩個字而已。它可以用於光鮮亮麗的頒獎典禮上,卻不允許在公共的廣場上被呼喊。
你,還相信台灣是人權立國的國家這種沒有根據的說法嗎?還相信「台灣是世界集會遊行最自由的國家」這種鬼話嗎?

這是難得我會看到兩次而且還想租回來看,也曾考慮過買回家收藏的好萊屋愛情故事電影!!
卡麥蓉狄亞本片和艾希頓庫奇兩人的化學反應超棒(我媽很愛艾希頓庫奇,因為這樣才把我抓去電影院看的,沒想到這麼好看xD)。很多人說卡姐老了,可是我還是覺得她就算充滿肌肉還是閃閃動人。(毆)
非常喜歡裡頭的搞笑。
不像一般的好萊屋電影中那些看不懂的美式笑話,或老開一堆黃腔以為幽默的段落,這裡的是更加趣味、更孩子氣的,不分國界地讓人開懷大笑的場景。男女主角的性格老梗,可是兩個加在一起的化學反應超棒,使人會心一笑。喜歡那種略帶自卑、只好虛張聲勢般的有如大孩子的男主角,以及超能幹嘴巴超毒反應超快的女主角。(笑)
而且導演安插了一些在男女關係中具有些許顛覆性的片段,真的很棒。
依然跳脫不出好萊屋的框架,但至少在框架中所做的安排讓我很滿意了。
