Jonathan ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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::
NBC is repeating "Company Man" (this week's Heroes) tomorrow evening.
OK, I'd like to take a moment to award Plei her Supernatural toaster.
Sure, lots of folks have been contributing to this debacle. juliana's love for Teh John comes to mind, and there's many others that squee and flail. But the 100 Dean list this morning was the straw on the back of the OMGSHOWFLAIL camel. I am sunk, friends.
Months ago, I was totally playing it cool. I skimmed past the SPN talk, too involved in too much tv to want another show. I even deleted them when my Tivo taped them as a suggestion. Even then, I ignored the Winchesters. OMGWTF WAS I THINKING.
I've watched eight episodes so far, and I'm stuck. So pretty. So competent. So broken. And I'm such a damn spoiler whore for this show now, I know it's ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.
THE BROTHERS WINCHESTER HAVE REDUCED ME TO ASSCAPS, PEOPLE.
I want to mainline them, download them into my brain. I had to resist buying the entirety of S2 on iTunes today. (Note: I don't even have a damn iPod.) (BTW, if anyone knows of a reliable ahem...)
In conclusion, I am the Winchesters' bitch. Plei, please accept your Impala-shaped toaster.

::clutches toaster::
Man, Sam looks so much smaller in the pilot. Less hulking. And his hair is floppy, not shaggy.
Mrmph. Paper clips.
PS, I think an ahem search will get you several reliable ahems.
And if not, lemme know. I gots da hookup.
Sam's voice is so much higher, too!
