Hello again! Sorry for the slow response but I am not used to a forum where people talk this much. I am going to have to check this thread every day instead of once a week. Thanks for the welcome. And, to answer the question of how I heard about the site, it is actually through my research. I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon studying film and cultural studies--which gives me a justification to study video games, Machinima, fanfic, TV and fandom. I grabbed Allyson Beatrice's book "Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby" (how can a Buffy fan resist a title like that?) and read it in about two days. I laughed my ass off, related and laughed some more and realized that this was a community I wanted to get to know. So, to make a long story probably longer, that is how I heard about the site.

In terms of Supernatural I admit that I have not seen the new episode (I know, a criminal offense) but my excuse is that we upgraded our cable to HD and had to trade in my old DVR with all of its programming and scheduled recordings for a new one with no recordings. For two weeks I have had to go through and manually find my shows that are not currently on the schedule and set them to record, fix priorities and all that jazz. For some reason, Supernatural was not on the list. I'll catch up on the website though. I do watch 4400 though and I agree Megan's acting is not so hot. Though I am jealous of Cassie's errr intimacy with Dean I honestly couldn't care less about her character. She didn't make much of an impression on me at all. I mean, Dean would be more likely to settle down with the Impala than an actual woman, IMO. =P

• edit* So, it seems that the new episode is not until the 31st *whew* so I have not missed anything...please correct me if I am wrong.

You are not wrong. The next new episode is the 31st. This week we have a nice repeat of "Fresh Blood" and, I hope, a new and exciting promo for next week.

Hah! Another victim newbie for Allyson's count. Although I'm amused, given Allyson's relatively low opinion of acafanage. *grin*

For general consumption, and those who haven't already seen it, a Dean vid to The Sharpest Lives.

Aca-fan??? Where? *hides*

Not just you, darlini. Not just you.

Maybe I should hide too?

Ahh, at least I am not alone. Is there a hiding place big enough for the both of us? Oh and thanks for the link Beverly. That was an awesome vid. I haven't heard that song before but it definitely fits. Oh, and since it was asked, I am from the "Eugene" part of the land of rain and mossy roofs. Though, this week, it has been land of frozen mossy roofs! We web-footed ones are not accustomed to 20 degree weather. I may have to suck it up and buy a real coat this year. Does it make me a bad aca-fan that I like Allyson's book because it isn't academic?

Welcome, darlin'. That's southern for darlini.

What or who is aca, plz. Puzzled minds want to know.

Academic.

Thank you, love. I feel all shiny with knowledge now.

I do feel a teensy threatened when the kids these days with their 1337 speak and jargon (is jargon even a word, anymore?) and patois are the remotest bit impenetrable. Which is the intent, after all, of patois and jargon. And 1337 speak.

Hey! How 'bout them Winchesters? Couple o' pistols, right?

(Bzzzt. Winchester & co. never manufactured pistols, nor shotguns. Their production was the long-barrel rifle firearm. Um. To be pendantic as all hell).
