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.
Cass, only child here, too, so I'm always on the outside of that sibling relationship. I observed it intimately in my own sons, and I see so many parallels--the fierce protectiveness of the elder, the take-it-for-granted attitude of the younger, an estrangement that went for some years and was too painful on both sides to heal without some painful further deconstruction and rebuilding, an affectionate exchange of epithets that was as comforting in its familiarity and habit as it was in its nondemanding (no chick flick moments!) vulgarity.
So the relationship I see onscreen is fascinating to me on several levels--it illuminates something I never had and never will, maps onto people I love and makes me nod in recognition, and sometimes catch my breath in realization of something I hadn't seen because my view was too close, or from the wrong angle. And also, just because the Winchesters are written interestingly and played beautifully by completely pretty and watchable men. Who are not related to me in any way.
I'm also a little sad we skipped Shadow, with the Dad-reveal and Dean's litttle breakdown, and Nightmare, when Sam's nightmares become visions--and junior priests!
Bev, I'll W&P Nightmare and Shadow with you whenever you want.
I'd like to catch them both before we tackle the final three, I think. You've got Scola-brating this weekend, right? You want to try for midweek?

Tomorrow night would be possible, since I have to come home around 7:00, or any day except Tuesday.
Could we do it around 8:00 your time? Starting at midnight or after makes the next morning difficult, but I can do later if that's better for you.
Nightmare first? Maybe Shadow after? Or later in the week, either way.
8:00 my time works for me. What day works best for you?
Tomorrow will work, if you're free. Or Monday.
Anybody else? Any time or day better?
Oh, I wish I had the next SPN disc from Netflix! I've been having way too much fun plowing through these things. Tonight, I watch "Scarecrow" and "Faith"
Hell House was just a "Funny! I miss mah peeps! Peeps???" thing. Because I am getting through S1.
That said, totally on for Nightmares and Shadow. I can do any night until Tuesday (nephlet vistage!!!!) because I think 10 might be too young for this show. And earlier is fine. Wheee!
