There was a bartender in "Bushwhacked"?
I volunteer to rewatch tonight. You know... for the good of the board.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I just watched Salvation, Devil's Trap and IMToD allinarow last night for the first time. Man, Dean's face when John tells him--
Like Plei says, it reads so differently when you know what John had to say. I wonder if they told the actors, or if it was "just make up something to react to," either because the writers hadn't decided where to go, or if they had, they didn't want spoilers getting out.
Of course, although LJ is jumping with SPN, the rest of the western world seems largely oblivious. I've fallen for a cult hit again, haven't I? Great show, small, dedicated audience.
Damn.

The way everything's been written and set up (see notes in LJ, more to come), it really feels like they knew exactly where they were going. I will say that I'd be damn curious to know what the directions were for that scene!

Yeah, sadly. Damn it! But at least HJ has joined our cult.

It does. Not only does Dean's S2 characterization make sense based on it, but so does John's S1 (and earlier!). Didja see Nutty's fab post on her fic journal about John?
But at least HJ has joined our cult.
Yeah, although everyone who thought the women in S1 were just fine (despite being boring, agenda-less, and interchangeable), is going to be all validated. Even though so far as I can tell, HJ is not nearly as clued into gender issues as he appears to think he is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who's HJ?

I believe they are referring to MIT Professor, Media & Popular Culture Guru, Henry Jenkins [link]

Okay, reading that will have to go on my to-do list.
Thanks!

Insert snark about masculine authority figures here.
Ahem.
Possibly, I'm just twitchy about the reaction certain members of the fanbase had to anyone daring even question the gender politics of the show in S1.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Ple, I share your twitch. Although, having had a bit of drinky at work jus now (bigwig retiring) it may be spelled twicth.
Jenkins is fine, for what he is. The trick is realizing that he's no wiser nor more informed than anybody else in fandom. (Which took me years, as I argued with some of his more crackpot theories when I should have just been calling him a crackpot.)

I was suspicious the moment he said that he sometimes hated Dean, partly because I am irrational on the subject of Dean, and partly because Dean maps more female (caretaker, peacemaker) than John and Sam Winchester.
