The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Consensus question-- Given how quiet tonight's Watch and Ppost was, do we maybe want to try a weeknight at 7:00?

Because books.

Knowing what John told Dean adds so much to this.

Yeah, it really does add a couple of layers. And it was pretty powerful the first time.

So much this.

Things are easy when they're black and white, and Dean likes it that way. Except that ... in this instance, Sam's got the white hat on. Dean was fully prepared to stake and go, in the beginning, and now he's questioning everything.

I love this show.

Would a weeknight be different, though? I always thought a Sunday night counted as a weeknight, since it's a *school night*?

It might simply be that summer's starting.

Beverly, you had the first post, do you want to do the jump to here link?

eta: I thought it might be better, Amyliz, since people might not be off doing weekend things, but I could be wrong.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I just got "No. And yes. It's always sudden." -Tara

In the upper right corner. Kinda neat.

I have to think, looking back over the season, that the writers--or at least somebody--actually did know where the season was going, what the arc was going to be. It all does narrow down from a seemingly scattered perspective after John's death to the last few episodes of the season. All those throwaway lines and hesitations, all those speculative glances, all those times of fearful looks from one brother to the other, they all take on meaning as the season goes on.

It's so refreshing to think somebody's actually driving the boat!

Um, sure. Tell me how, again? No, really. I have to learn, right?

My only beef is whether to be mad at John or the writers. Because as much as taught the boys, as ingrained as certain habits and skills have become through his training, the idea that he never considered what would happen if he died -- which, hello, fighting demons, short shelf life -- bugs. Would he really never have mentioned the Roadhouse as a resource, or some of the hunters aside from Bobby? It seems like an incredible oversight for John, or a foolish hope that they won't need to know any of it, neither of which fit my perception of him.

Also, given the amount of people who had apparently met and/or worked with him, he really did leave those boys alone an awful lot. And that just ... makes my heart hurt for them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

1) Copy the link from the post number of the last post. You're on a PC, right-- you would get it by right clicking the number, which should give you an option to copy the link location or something along that phrase.

2) Go back to your first post, and edit it to say "this is the first post in the post and watch-- to go to the end, click here" or some such, and then paste in the link location.

Me too. I think John did the best he could, and better than some would, but he also managed to fuck up his sons a lot.
