Peculiarly, the Torchwood scripts don't seem to be judging the characters--when this is what I'm very much expecting. Now, characters have judged other characters, but not the script, in any plot development ways.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thrive to spite them
My Weekend of TV and Comics has begun. I'm watching Bugs --- right now Dean is fighting off termites with a a home made flame thrower. And the parade of That Guy/Girl from That Other Show continued because it was Joe Dawson! As the anthropology professor. And now they've all survived and the bugs are flying off into the sunrise. And it's a happy family moment. Plus the "we accept buyers of any race, religion, creed, or sexual orientation." Ha!
And awww!! Sammy, thinking John was disappointed in him and being the Marylin of the family (loved the reference), but John was secretly checking up on him!
Now on to disc 3!

That's the only episode (the bug ep) I couldn't watch. I tried, I really did, but I just have too many insect phobias. I tried listening to it, instead, but a few minutes in my skin started trying to crawl off my body, and I was twitching as though I was having a seizure of some sort, and I gave up. Now that we have the DVDs, maybe I can do it in 5 minute segments or something.

Finished off season 1, just watched the first two episodes of season 2 and all I want to do is tuck Sam and Dean into bed and feed them chicken soup. Talk about ripping our hearts out by ripping theirs out. Wah!
I may have to go back and rewatch the bug episode. All I remember of that was is the very beginning. I'm thinking I may have stopped that one to go do something else and then forgot I hadn't finished watching it. The perils of mainlining the entire season so quickly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and all I want to do is tuck Sam and Dean into bed and feed them chicken soup.All? That's all? Cause I ... I wanna do stuff.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Cass said.
I just watched In my time of Dying, and chicken soup isn't what came to mind.
Also, but relatedly, there were an awful lot of shots of Dean walking away from the camera in that ep.

and chicken soup isn't what came to mind.Not that there couldn't be chicken soup. After. For nourishment maybe.
It's just that they aren't the tuck in, feed soup, and then maybe much later molest kind of woobies. The soup is more of an afterthought. Along with the optionality of the tucking in. More of an any flat surface in a storm kind of woobie.

Flat surface? Hell, a wall would do nicely.
Ahem.
Just watched IMToD and Everybody Loves a Clown. I... found myself liking Sam's hair. And appreciating Sam's shoulders. I feel kind of dirty. (Dean shoulder appreciation probably goes without saying, but was still there.)
And damn, Ellen is ten types of sex on a stick.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sam has good shoulders. And...wrists. Which are usually escaping from the cuffs of whatever shirt or coat he's wearing. Am I odd for noticing his wrists? They look very rawboned and gawky, and at the same time, vulnerable.
And damn, Ellen is ten types of sex on a stick.

Floppy emo hair vs. freaky forehead of doom. Discuss.

All? That's all?
There might be a sandwich in there, too. A boy-girl-boy sandwich. I didn't think it needed to be said.
Ellen is definitely hot. As Jill is not. I couldn't see Dean hitting on her at all. Not because of "wrong place, wrong time" but because Jill just looks doughy and a little unformed still. She's got some growing to do before she can fill her mom's shoes (or bra.)
