We've had the F'nor not F'lar discussion, yes?

Do I lose my geek cred if I admit I have NO idea what you are talking about.

The first two books of Anne McCaffrey's Pern saga, Dragonflight and Dragonsomethingelse. The rest of them are pretty much dreck, except the two Dragonsinger ones, about the Harper guild.

Basically, the dragon weyrs are going the way of the dodo. The leader of the weyrs are two half-brothers, same dad, different mothers, F'lar, the elder, dashing, dark haired, flamboyant, temper to go with it. His younger brother F'nor is quieter of speech and thought, step and manner. F'lar is a good figurehead, and he stirs people to purpose, but F'nor is the one doing the research and figuring out what needs to be done and seeing that it gets done. So F'lar's the alpha, F'nor's the beta.

I've always been a F'nor girl, hands down.

Huh. It doesn't seem like Dean and Sam map to that very closely, though I do love them betas.

Wait, wait, wait .... back up to the easter egg .... there are easter eggs? I never think to poke around and find them on my own. Please provide maps for those of us who are directionally impaired.

I think that there aren't that many Easter Eggs.

Yeah, the first two Pern books are the best as are the first two Dragonsinger books (there are of course, a multitude of Pern and dragonsinger books.)

Are you talking SPN Easter Egg or DA? There's one on Disk 6 of SPN in the Special Features menu. When the "Day with J & J" is highlighted, the light comes on in the cabin in the background. If you navigate onto the light and press play, you get a special message from Eric Kripke.

Easter eggs--the only two I've found are both on Disc 6. When you go down the menu, the doorway to the shack from Hell House lights up. You click on that for a thank-you from Kripke. And as you go further down the menu, Dean's eyes light up. Click on that for another thing. I forget what it is, but I remember being underwhelmed.

Longer gag reels, people! More goofy outtakes! Kim Manners doing the soft shoe. Raelle and Seri in a loooong talk about writing. Robert Singer and Jim Beaver arm wrestling for title to the name. Something interesting.

Yeah more episode commentaries would be great. Getting two on the first disc and then no more was disappointing.

Gag reels are my alpha and omega. And not the "in-jokey juxtaposition" kind of gag reels, just outtakes of people screwing up their lines, missing cues, cracking up for no reason. I can watch that shit for hours and hours. The more serious the plot, the more hilarious it is watching the actors laugh so hard they cry.

Which is why the early XF gag reels are such a joy.

Also, Trek, TOS was great for that, especially Nimoy.
