I liked that Castiel was confined to an ancillary role, and the story focused on the filial relationship. Yes, it was over-focused. So am I. I guess I relate that way.
I knew it was the wrong story for the room.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wanted a story focussed on the boys. Those weren't my boys. It's hard to find a good non-Wincest story about thier devotion to each other that shows their ups and downs.
But...I love Dean. That wasn't Dean. He wasn't layered or funny or nuanced. He was Beth from Little Women, with a layer of super hero thrown on.
I love Sam. But I hated who he was at the start of the story, for no good narrative reason, as far as I could tell. Why was he such a whiner?
And the John was so unforgivable. Prick!John can make a story easily unredeemable for me.
The story didn't have to focus on Castiel. It just had to make his existence and relationship to Dean make sense and jibe with canon. It didn't. Bobby came closer, but it still wasn't great.

Because books.
Here's a ridiculous question borne out of procrastination and this morning's "do not want": I'm watching the pilot and the house just went up in flames. When they show the firefighters putting it out, are those extras/bit actors? Or do they just get the local firehouse to come out? They were actually using the hoses and everything; are actors trained to do that for a minute of film?

Amy, they may cast for actors that already know that, maybe, like they'd cast for actors that can speak French or tap.
Supernatural: Anime trailer. I figured it's okay to link to since it has nothing plotty in it, but we need to decide what the spoiler rules around the anime will be. Come January 2011, anyway. Will it ever be whitefontable here? Is all the printed stuff off-limits?

So is this a DVD release? I thought it was going to be comics.
Um, I have no thoughts about spoilers or whitefonting. It's pre-series? Or in-between episodes stuff?

It might air in Japan, I think.
It will retell S1 and maybe S2, and be pre-series and maybe between episode stuff too.

What are the rules with the Buffy comics? How were they worked out?

They ended up getting their own thread, which morphed into Astounding. Want to agitate for an SPN other media thread?
Sorry, I'm amusing myself.

Not so much, actually.
