Mostly, I love that everyone who has had issues with Sam and/or Dean having potty mouths in fic (because they don't on the show) is now wrong like a wrong thing.

I was walking down my stairs last night at ass-o-clock, in a grumpy mood from having been asleep in a toddler bed and not woken up when Paul got home, thinking, "Man, this is going to suck. I want to watch this, because if I don't, I'll avoid the Internets and email. But I am GOING to have enjoyment issues."

And then I didn't.

So now I'm avoiding LJ, on account of waiting until the squee fades before I face any potential buzzkills. (I'm in control of my online experiences! Woohoo!)

Show, if you make frequent homophobic jokes, and then when you have a gay characters, kill them off immediately, that doesn't actually say a lot for your attitude about people who don't share your heterosexuality.

And yet despite that, Sam and Dean didn't make any tasteless homophobic jokes, and Maggie survived and was a bit snarky (I'm trying to ignore the "oh I'm scared please kiss me" business), and Sam and Dean were smart in the end. If a bit unkind to these well-meaning amateurs.

I'm with Consuela.

two small clips from next week's show.

oh BOYS!

Hee.

::sits with Consuela and Typo Boy::

I found the Andrew-esque tuxedoed introduction and the footage of the Ghostfacers getting prepared pretty much unwatchable, but once they were in the haunted house environment and the Winchesters showed up, it was fun.

I'm with Matt.

It occurred to me last night after I shut down my laptop that our boys probably actually did the Ghostfacers a huge favor.

I think that not only would they have been thought crazy, but that straight-jackets would have been the least of their troubles: they would have had to explain their dead dear Corbett (name?!), and probably would have been held accountable for his death. I can totally see the police seeing it as a sick publicity stunt and them all be co-conspirators or somesuch.

Juliebird, you're not wrong. If they didn't report Corbett's death to the police, how did they expect to air that episode? If they did report it... how did they explain his death?

I just watched. I think it is odd that my word for the episode was 'cute'. It was fun, not really scary or creepy,a tad too gory. I was hoping for a little more substance.

Beth, I hear what you're saying, and several others have mentioned something similar.

I think this is one of the scripts they had mostly ready before the strike but couldn't finish. They'd also lined up the actors from Hell House, and thought the fans would like the payoff of seeing what had happened to Ed and Harry since Sam sent them off to LA with a prank call pretending to be a producer, and Dean with an unrefrigerated tuna in their backseat. I know I loved that part, seeing HellHounds, redux.

Show has always been about the latest trends in horror films, as well as the familiar legends and lore. I think Cloverfield, in the vein of TBWP, prompted the use of the hand-helds and a single defined space. It could also be that not all the crew had been reassembled, and this shooting style gave them a little extra time to settle in.

For those unaware, JA said in his CTW interview that they gave the actors state of the art handheld videocams and pulled the crew out and let the actors go without rehearsal, blocking, or conventional lighting. He seemed to think the experience was worth the experiment. For one episode, particularly the GhostFacers one, I'm inclined to agree.

I do expect serious depth and drama for the remaining eps, though.
