Well, JA and JP are both from Texas. If that explains matters.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Our wings are not tired.
Are the characters from Texas?

Thrive to spite them
They were born in Kansas, but started moving around (presumably I'm not sure what the canon is for how much moving they did as children) when Dean was 4 and Sam was a baby after their mother was killed by the Yellow eyed demon.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The characters are "from" Kansas, but stopped being "from" anywhere when Dean was 4 and Sammy was a baby.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm sorry you didn't like the ep that much, Laura. This was one of the bleaker ones, but there is never a whole lot of funny, like there was with Buffy. I think you might like it more with the backstory though, so I hope you do watch this summer.
I am happy Victor found the love, or at least understands it. More spicy brains!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dean was wailing on Gordon like whoa. And then Gordon takes Dean down with two shots?
One of which was with a rifle butt (buttstroke! (sorry, krav thing)), and later on when Sam was fighting Gordon you saw the same thing--hands, eh, whatever, and then Sam got his hands on the rifle, and then we had unconsciousness.
What irritated me was Sam's vanishing facial injuries. I know the show's been better about them in the past.

Oh, I agree that a buttstroke would probably take anybody out. Maybe you can tell me, though, if all the smacking around that Dean did of Gordon would really not keep him down a little longer than it did? I think that's what I object to more, was Gordon's recovery than the fact Dean went down so quickly.

Oh, I caught that too. V. annoying.

While it is possible in reality to pummel the shit out of someone's face without them losing consciousness (see UFC fights), TV works with a much reduced set of things that cause unconsciousness (and one recovers from being knocked out cleanly and with no residual effects), so I wasn't slightly surprised.
I was quite happy that the buttstroke was the fight ender twice, instead of giving punches very variable powers.

I guess this is what bugs. I want consistency in everything fighty. Ah, well. I'll have to just roll with it.
