So glad I didn't start watching Smallville again, despite the GA temptation.

Dude.

DUDE.

DUDE.

After sleeping on SPN (I got home at almost 11, so I watched it late), I'm now stuck in a broken place of flailing. I keep having thoughts, both on this ep as a contrast to Scarecrow and on the sheer bleakness of Being Dean Winchester (and, really, I could probably fill about 2000 words of just that aspect alone), and the various gutting aspects of being Sam, but then I find myself just terribly, terribly sad for them both and my lower lip starts to kind of tremble a little.

I swear, I wasn't this broken when I went to bed last night.

Anyone have any suggestions to get me out of the flail loop and into actually writing up those thoughts? Because I really want to, but see: flail loop.

Write as though you're writing to tell someone (like me) why they should start watching. Let's pretend I'm saying, "It's only prettiness and schmuck bait. There's no depth, there. It's not bleakness. It's blankness. Empty."

What would you say?

(Keep in mind I've never watched it, so I don't actually mean those things. I'm just trying to get you to write.)

I'm sorry. I can't even stop myself from flailing about how Dean+Impala+J-Turn=HOT LIKE BURNING, so I hardly can offer advice on how to handle the emotional content or thoughts on canon.

So I only recently started watching SPN (what with ony recently getting the channel and so forth), but I just wanted to post that right when Master Sargeant got stabbed by Shoulda Killed 'Im, my phone rang. I jumped rather significantly. And then (you know, right after the scene where everyone in the whole town had disappeared), although I could see on the caller id that it was my SO, the phone just sat there, silent.

I was freaked.

Turned out he was just putting it on speakerphone, but man!

I was actually surprised when the bad guy turned out to be the guy Dean didn't kill. I was so thinking it was the doctor. Though as soon as Dwayne said he had to make a call, I knew what was about to happen. Nice call-back to last season, there.

I'm sorry. I can't even stop myself from flailing about how Dean+Impala+J-Turn=HOT LIKE BURNING, so I hardly can offer advice on how to handle the emotional content or thoughts on canon.

As far as I've managed to get, and this was pre-episode, at the concert Jilli and I were at last night, is to map the Winchesters to Blood (Dean), Love (John), and Rhetoric (Sam) based on the discussion in here about family units and John's sacrifice in IMToD. (It's so weird to think I didn't watch the show yet then. That was about two days before I got into it.)

And I think that really, really only makes sense in my head.

Weren't they both getting a painful feedback sound/feeling though?

Well, they were both looking into mirrors facing mirrors, with each one being a mirror.

The Jimmy/Chloe was very cute on Smallville.

Wow. Jane Espenson got to kill CAT.

That rocked.

Umm, are there 4 branches (divisions? wings?) of the Air Group?

And I thought that the Doctor was very enjoyable.

Dr. Where?

and

Finally! Kat is dead Kat gets the heroic exit she deserves

Except for her ever so annoying scenes, I really enjoyed much of this ep, I got a great, tense "33" vibe, thought HotDog was gonna buy it there (but I guess they had to save that heroic gesture for Kat, *fbpt*), and yes, as much as I couldn't stand her and the writer's need to drag up yet another "Oh I'm so guilty! I coulda been party to the Cylon infiltration of the Colonies" (and WTF with Kara's hashing up old grudges? Is she still doing that "wanting to tear everyone's eyes out" thing?) I still got a little weepy near the end. But then Adama putting Kat's name in the CAG position kinda irked. It seemed too... special? Sappy? Is my hate for her flavoring this episode like that "too much dill" incident I had back in highschool?

eta: ah, I forgot. JE being said writer would explain the ending...

Well, I think so.

Of course, we could have had backstory on what things were like when Cat was CAG during the New Caprica backstory last week but you know, the good stuff just didn't fit.

(I guess Helo's back to being a pilot.)
