JDM I could just eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And I want to smack the TWoP recapper for labelling him ShutUp!Daddy. Because, no, don't EVER shut up! The first time I saw him was in Weeds, and I just instantly adored him, and was sad that he was already dead. Although I don't know if I can overcome my GA antipathy to watch for him.

I was so sad to realize, after I started watching, and after I'd been reading the Boxed Set discussions, how very few eps he was in. Because I lurve him so. I know the show has to be about Dean and Sam, but the loss of John after so brief a time threw me, it really did.

--and I hope that Mary isn't gone for good. The fact that her recognition of the YED was only brought up in the last ep or so of season two gives me hope.

I don't know if I can overcome my GA antipathy to watch for him.

Denny and Izzie was a great guilty pleasure. I cried. Hard.

I hope that Mary isn't gone for good.

I would be surprised if they don't bring her back. Really, they could even bring back JDM if he would ever stop working on other projects long enough. I mean they did establish in Roadkill that cremating doesn't mean the spirit "can't" come back. And they did resurrect the Impala.

GA is where i fell in love with JDM. if nothing else, go here and dl his GA clips because he's seriously the most adorable thing that ever breathed.

What worries me about Mary is that it seemed like her spirit had burned up. Which, you know, is sad, because what it implies to me is that she just ceased to exist. She didn't get to go to heaven or hell, she just stopped. But mayhaps that is my misinterpretation of what happens to a spirit when it is vanquished/burnt/exorcised. But the show can make up whatever rules it wants to, especially if it means more Mary and John.

And in Provenance with the lock of hair still hanging around. I mean, I doubt that John would have left a part of him hanging around, but maybe he went through a long-haired phase when he was low, just after Mary's death, and he grew a ponytail. Then he met Ellen and Bobby and he got himself together, cut off his hair and sold it to a wig shop. And now there's a chemo-patient in Utah walking around with his hair on his head, conjuring his spirit... except that he seems to be in heaven. I'll let the writers work on that one, I'm too tired.

ooh, thanks for the link, tiggy!

There's a lot of John's DNA rubbed into the leather of that journal, between the oil from his hands, sweat, and the occasional bloody fingerprints. IJS.

I just realized that if John crawled out of hell to help his boys, then he'd break out of heaven itself as well (and I'm sure the security is far more lax than that of hell, considering the clientele, and he wouldn't need a massive jailbreak to do so).

John crawled out of hell to help his boys

There is just nothing that is not sexy about this man.

Now imagine John saying "screw you, Lord Almighty, I sure do appreciate you taking me unto your bosom after letting me fester in hell for a year, but I gotta go. If you can't open your gates to me again, no prob, that's not important to me. My boys' are in trouble."

Once upon a time there was a bomb in the hospital, and Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights) was working as a bomb disposal chief. He came in and got the bomb, and it exploded before he got it safely contained and that episode ended with Izzie and Cristina washing Coach Taylor off of Mere. Which would have been an oh-so-lovely picture if that sentence had just ended three words shorter.

Anyway. The Izzie/Denny arc is one of the reasons to wade through the best season of GA--it's the best season for Dr. Bailey, for Burke and Cristina, for George, and for Dr. Webber--whose onscreen wife is played by Loretta Devine, the actress who played Missouri Mosely. They could have had the whole series without Mere and McDreamy, for all I cared.

ANYway, if you decide you just can't invest the time in the entire Denny/Izzie arc, make sure you see the episode where Mere dies, and has to decide to stay dead or go back. She spends the whole episode with a not-tied-to- life-support-machines Denny and a not-blowed-up Coach Taylor. And yes, there are some other dead folks in there too, but my point is, the most amAzing thing about that 40 minutes of teevee is how frickin hot Kyle Chandler and JDM are onscreen together.
