'Life of the Party'
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.
Oh, man--the body language of both boys at the end of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. (Man, the things I could and will eventually say about the role of role-reversal in S2.)
Sam. Pulling the trigger in Asylum.
Meg!Sam's post-shooting little smirk.
That wordless exchange between Dean and Ellen in Simon Said, when Jo's incredulous about the notion of him being afraid of her mom.
And apparently, clowns kill.
Yes -- that's one of my favorite moments too.
I am now, heaven help me, watching Route 666.
Because it had to be done some time, right?
And apparently, clowns kill.
Oh, that made me laugh SO MUCH.
I watched Route 666 not too long after y'all last mentioned it., because I realized I hadn't actually seen it. It reinforced my growing belief that my standards are pretty low, because I was all just "racist ghost truck, of course, la la la la la, makes perfect sense" even after being warned of the eye-rolliness.
I feel I have to mention, I just figured out that WAH is a TLA and not a sound-effect.
I think I'm suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. I'm kind of enjoying this.
The WAH, or the rascist truck?
Either way, you get shirtless Dean.
The Racist Ghost Truck.
Dean. In a suit and tie. With the top button unbuttoned. Sam being all smirky and obnoxious and little brotherly.
Okay, you know, if you're aware that it's Racist Ghost Truck episode that has Serious Issues WRT Time (and, I have to figure... eloped out of state? but wait, how were they planning on marrying in 1963, when it wasn't legal in that state until 1967, after Loving? how often were the laws disregarded? what were the laws at the time if you came back after wedding in, say Washington D.C.? why am I trying to force reality on Route 666?), and contains much clunky writing--it has a lot of little moments that don't suck.
I mean, for all that the show contains a million and one shots of them busting down doors, there's a lot of door-closing moments in S1 for both Sam and Dean, options for any life outside the one they're leading slipping away. And Cassie's right that there's not a future there for them that works, and Dean knows she's right, and you can see it in his face when she breaks things off for the second time, and that letting him down easy isn't any easier than breaking it off in a huff, and... ::FLAIL::
