Oh no, I'm sick as a dog. (I ... wish I knew where that saying came from, come to think of it.) Horrible bronchitis.
But I work at home, so it would've been the plan anyway. Now I just don't have to feel guilty about being in bed with the Winchesters all day.
Heh.
I wonder if a lot of people have the brightness on their TVs set too high.
I think my favorite show opener was the second ep of season 2 with The Chamber Brothers "Time Has Come Today". Not a season premiere song, not AC/DC, but a thing of beauty.
Do Sam and Dean use each other's names disproportionately much for a piece of fiction?
I can't work out if it's because I'm paying too much attention, but it doesn't seem possible you could go a couple episodes of this and not know the leads' names, whereas I can often do that with many other shows. Sam, Sam, Sammy, Dean, Dean,
Dean.
In everyday life, most people (especially in a two-way-only conversation) will only use the other person's name for emphasis, at least in my experience.
So, yes, they do.
Target is using "For Those About to Rock" in an ad right now. I keep expecting to look up and see chrome and freckles and a dimple and a gigantor.
I love fandom. Because I can find season counts for name usage. To wit, season 2:
Sam says Dean's name constantly - he averages 11.8 per episode, while even if you combine both versions of Sams's name, Dean averages to about 7.9 per episode.
Heh, I knew the J's had made fun of Sam's character saying "Dean" all the time, but I didn't think it was enough to count.
This is one of those pros to "if fangirls ran the world." We'd have an accurate count of everything.
I would like a count of how often Cas says Dean's name. Because, in fic? ALL THE FUCKING TIME. An especial count of "Hello, Dean" would also be appreciated.
I feel like doing something fun for tomorrow night. Possibly ... having pie. Actually, that's all I can think of, but I don't have a lot of energy.
It's going to be a family affair, and I'm almost nervous because if there's TALKING during the show I'll have to smack my children some people.
