I LLLOOOVVVEEE Alona Tal! She was SOOO awesome on Veronica Mars. And she's really cute too. I'm so glad she's on Supernatural this year.

Cool! Exceted to see Amber on Supernatural!! I remeber a thread N4H made on BB about this and Amber said she wears sexy cow boy boots in the episode. I'll go find it...

Fans of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL and FIREFLY creator Joss Whedon know Amber Benson as Tara, Willow’s girlfriend, from BUFFY. Since her character’s dramatic departure from the series, Benson has been a busy young lady. During her time on the show, she wrote, produced and directed CHANCE -- an independent film about relationships in L.A. Now, Benson is the co-creator and writer of the book series GHOST OF ALBION with Stoker Award winning author Christopher Golden, based on the continuing adventures of characters from their BBC Web episodes. Benson also has two interesting projects being released this year, her second feature film LOVERS, LIARS, AND LUNATICS and a guest appearance on the CW network’s SUPERNATURAL, which is now heading into its second season. iF caught Benson fresh off of the Vancouver SUPERNATURAL set and talked to her about what we can expect from her on the series, and what else is up next.

iF MAGAZINE: Are you just a one-time role on SUPERNATURAL or is this a character that may come back?

AMBER BENSON: As of now, it's just a one-time role. It’s a very juicy guest spot.

iF: How has it been returning to a TV show primarily about the occult?

BENSON: Its cool to be back in the sci-fi realm. Everyone at SUPERNATURAL is lovely. I've had a real blast working in Vancouver. Thought I was through with CGI, but visual effects seem to follow me wherever I go!

iF: What can you tell me about your character?

BENSON: Can't divulge anything about the role I played, but I got to be tough and sexy, so it was total fun. Plus, I got to wear some bitchin' cowboy boots.


iF: What's up next for you?

BENSON: “Witchery”- the next GHOSTS OF ALBION book comes out in October and LOVERS, LIARS, AND LUNATICS is available online at www.loversliarsandlunatics.com (http://www.loversliarsandlunatics.com/).

Hehe yeah this sounds awesome, I had forgotten about it actually. I don't watch the show, 'cause I don't think it's that good, but I'll have to watch the Amber episode, for sure.

prydain17 agrees: Supernatural is awesome.
I have to disagree on that, heh :)

[Rose Tyler]

I have to disagree on that, heh :)

What!?! Is that humor or are you being serious....I want a decent argument outta you missy as to why its not!

lol. No I'm serious actually. I have honestly only watched about seven episodes, and it was ok, but it got boring 'cause there were only two characters (who were guys = boring, heh), and the rest of them were only there for one or two episodes. My ex was obsesed with the show, but even though she had seen all the episodes and loved it etc., she agreed that it was really lame and never really got much better. But hey, maybe it does?

[Rose Tyler]

lol each to their own, and ok I agree not much eye candy for you.....but don't you want to know more about the demon that killed their mother and Jess?

[eponinethen]

Well I agree that I should be curious and stuff.. about that. I'm just, not?
Might give it another chance when I've got the time, right now I'm rewatching Six Feet Under though, and that beats almost everything ;)

At leats you gave it a try, which is more than some people do...i'm not giving up on you yet :D

[eponinethen]

Lol that's good, don't give up on me. And I tend togive most things a chance. (After spending years not giving BtVS a chance, and then years regretting that :D )
