Lalla Ward became Romana on Doctor Who after playing a different recurring character is the previous season.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Meta reason for that: talk is that apparently during the shooting of this episode, Paddywhack had to have surgery and a resetting done on his wrist.
I saw that going around lj, and it does make sense.
My favorite scene from the SPN episode this week, though, was Sam and Jo sitting in the back of the car and the faces Jo was making at Sam and the utter sympathy on Sam's face. It was hilarious. I think they actually bonded more than Dean and Jo.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I gather that Padalecki actually broke his wrist after shooting for the 2nd season began? Because I missed an episode in the middle there, and I was suddenly like, if you wanted him to have a broken wrist, why didn't you do it when he had the Spectacular Car Accident of T-Boning?
And then I realized, they hadn't needed it then. For all he's got to be throwing up after every take of climbing up and down ladders, Sam's been a reasonably active character. Even when he's only in 10 minutes of the episode, they're the wrangliest 10 minutes.

Which would make Ellen and Dean the mom and dad, and thus leads me to happy-making Dean/Ellen places.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Why do the SPN fans call Padalecki Paddywhack? I've been curious for a while.

Yeah, I sort of wish they'd at least had a throwaway line explaining the in-character reason because it just kept distracting me, wondering if I'd missed something that had happened to Sam.

They wrote in the scene for the zombie episode ("Children Shouldn't Play With Death Things", right?) at the end, so they could explain it. And that was four episodes in.

x-posty.
Uh, they did. I'm pretty sure it was at the end of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. After his fight with the chickzombie, Sam says that he thinks she broke his hand/wrist. I disremember the exact wording.

I read a startlingly good meta essay whose thesis was that, within the enclosed nuclear family of the Winchesters after Mary's death, Dean took on the mother role. Very compelling, though it was being used as an argument for why Wincest didn't work and thus I took it with some circumspection.
Why do the SPN fans call Padalecki Paddywhack?
one of the early BNF-type fangirls in SPN could never spell Padalecki's last name right, so she started calling him Paddywhack, which fit in nicely with the portmanteau for the rapidly growing section of fandom that was slashing Jared and Jensen Ackles, making Paddywhackles. Our own amyth and smonster were pretty instrumental in keeping the Paddywhack thing going.

That's pretty much it--Sam is being used as bait to lure her to her grave so she can be pinned there with an iron rod, and falls on his hand; of course, then he continues to shovel all the dirt back into the grave, which makes the extent of the break on his hand a little suspect; but as they're walking towards the car he says "I think she broke my hand!" and favors it for the rest of the episode, and Dean says "We'll get it set in the next town over." It isn't set, however, as they're speeding out of town the next morning, and when they sit on the hood of the metallicar and talk about Dean's Manly Pain, he carefully favors it, sans cast. That was probably when he was in the soft cast, and could take it off for shooting, and before he had to get it re-set and it was put into a plaster cast.
