She's been impregnated with Demon Spawn!

Or possibly some sort of meteor-rock enhanced baby.

Jilli kind of rolled her eyes at me for it, but... but... homemade tools! Suits! Airplane fear! Awesome brotherly interaction!

Oh, there was great character interaction, but the main plot didn't do much for me. See also "Bugs" and "Route 666".

Since I stayed at home feeling very unwell, we watched a LOT of episodes today. We're caught up through "Shadows". Overall, I like the show. I still don't think I'm going to go all Firewall of Flail over it, but it's fun. Even if I do spend a lot of time muttering about (a) Sam, Dean, or both do something completely boneheaded; and (b) my own knowledge of folklore and folk magic taking me out of the stories ("That's not what you'd use for banishing that sort of thing! Waitaminute, that's not the usual way those sorts of hauntings go!")

I seriously wondered if Lex had used a Kryptonite condom.

The LIP WIBBLE! When he calls John's cell in "Home"! How can you not flail??? Are you made of human parts???

I mean, err. Yes. Nice and fun! I envy the flail immunity, actually. Episodes that are thinky, but less flaily, like tonight's and No Exit, provide me with a breather, but it's been three viewings now for Nightshifter, and while I now own a copy of Styx's Renegade, I still can't type up my thoughts for the flailing.

These are generally regarded as two of the weakest episodes. I like what Route 666 tells us about Dean, but it's the episode that made me decide that simple math was hard for our poor show creators.

Besides, homocidal racist TRUCK.

that simple math was hard for our poor show creators.

Wait, I missed the math fiasco.

Besides, homocidal racist TRUCK.

People keep saying that, but in the end, it wasn't really a racist truck, right? That wasn't its actual motivation, I mean.

GHOST truck, even!

Man, good times, good times.

I'm a little surprised at the number of people (in LJ) who seem to feel that prayer could go unnoticed, but I suspect that's because when I pray (which is less often than once I did), I'm the talk-in-the-head sort.

I've been stuck on long airplane and car rides with my (atheist) family, and prayer (which would have been remarked on with horror) went right under that radar.

Wait, I missed the math fiasco.

If you assume Cassie's around Dean's age (so, born circa 1979), her parents getting married in 1962 or there abouts seems like kind of a stretch.

I've mentally fanwanked this into something along the lines of They Were Very Young When They Married And Had Many Sad Fertility Related Issues Before Their One Child Was Born.

Still, nothing beats "Bugs" and the ten-minute night.

I did handwaving about making enough money to support a family, but largely was all ".... forty years ago? Really? But...oh, well. Whatever. Could happen."

Also - mighty wrod to the lip wibble with the Dad-calling. Oh lord, Dean. Dean.

Bless Smonster and Amyth for pimping SPN to me at the F2F. Bless. Them. Because, yes, turns out that Dean is one of those characters I love. Not just because he's pretty (although, Holy Crap, such astonishing levels of smokin' hot...gah...) but because he'll - at the risk of sounding like a Meatloaf song - do anything for love. Kill, die, compromise every damn thing he cherishes in order to protect the person/people he loves.

...Sail, you didn't like the Vancouver stories? But...but...but the funny! And the gay!

is sad.

I may like the Vancouver stuff more than the Toronto stuff, actually - although I thoroughly enjoyed all the Victory Nelson books - because the vampire show cracks me up, and I find Tony a little easier to identify with than Vicky. Oh, lord - I should SO love to see them make the 'Smoke' books into a show, with Alexis Denisof playing the hot sidekick actor (who has actual acting abilities, and upon whom Tony has the mighty crush o'doom) and James Marsters playing the egocentric aging vampire detective star. Not sure who I'd cast as Tony, but...God, how much would I love that show? Very. Much. Indeed.
