What Amy said about Sam and the prostitute.

And, yeah, Julie-- Polar Night, with Sam being infected and the search for a cure. There they had angels explicitly unable to help, but oddly they weren't brought into the mix this week. Why not?

As noted, I didn't like Fight Club, so I have no positive memories to compare it to. And I certainly don't know the difference between close to canon and copy/pasting names. Who does each SPN character map to from the movie? I mean, how does the Helena Bonham Carter thing work?

What is the point of that scene?

Sam was always shown as having an emotional connection before sex. Even one-night stands were started with an emotional connection. Now it's not just a meaningless hookup with someone he met at a bar, it's so far removed from emotion that he's paying a prostitute (whom you pay as much for leaving as the actual sex).

I think I have to stop making this a thinky show for a while. Thinking about it isn't making me happy.

My favorite ep this season was Bobby's and that was basically nothing about Sam and Dean.

Hopefully the show will win me back and I can rewatch it all knowing it's going someplace.

But what I am not going to do is bitch about it here because that won't be fun for me or, I suspect, fun to read.

The HBC doesn't work, and so it was weird to finally figure out that Sam and Cas were supposed to be best friends, where in the movie, the relationship between Dean and Cas would be Cas and Sam. Um. If it truly reflected the movie, Dean would have been banging Sam, and Sam would have been banging Cas. Sam and Cas would not have been just friends as they are in the fic. And there would have been no Dean/Cas.

And I don't think it's a good fit, but again, like I said, I can't make my brain shift to not imagine EN and BP in those roles, and I can't imagine Cas or Dean in them. Sam's just way out there. But I'm pretty sure so are Dean and Cas. Dean might be the closest. Or at least I can see Jensen in that role.

OMG, that ignipes fic is hilarious! I've never seen VD, but now I want to.

But you have to admit Meatloaf==Cupid was pretty sweet.

It was, indeed.

I've never seen VD, but now I want to.

ita will tell you that it's not a good show. I will tell you that that is technically accurate and I just don't care. I am constantly entertained and stuff really does happen. Plus, really nice eye candy.

She's right, I will say that. However, I don't think I've ever seen a more event-filled 22-episode show. And, good god, the body count. Not in an SPN/Buffy way, where they off people you don't know before the credits, either. And the plot whipsaws like nobody's business.

It's best you don't think about it.

Overall I didn't enjoy the Fight Club fusion and had the same problem of not being able to see anyone but the movie stars in those roles. However when it did work it was stellar, Dean giving Castiel Tyler's kiss and telling him God hates him? Exquisite pain.

And dear god I just got that Tyler's kiss is literally that. I never before made the connection that lye reacts with water, ie saliva.

She's right, I will say that.

It's sort of the ginger beer thing. And you're not wrong.
