That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Juliebird, you're killing me. So much pretty to choose from.

We were exploring my robot head kink. Really it's my lack of robot head kink. But I still laugh when Misha says, "It was a robot head"!!! (Stonehenge Apocalypse)

I need BOYS. Too much time on my hands leads to robot heads.

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

Oh Ash. Or, Bilbo. Razor. Mirror.

Now Bishop, I could get behind.

Eh, the robot heads are all you, Theresa. Whatever blows your hair back. /Dean

ETA: Okay, lest this post let slip the fact I'm even more random than you expected, Ash was played by Ian Holm, who also played Bilbo in FotR. My favorite role of his, the one I instantly think of when I see his face, is Capitaine Phillipe d'Arnot, the man who "discovered" Christopher Lambert (before he was Connor MacLeod), and taught him to shave--"Razor. Mirror."--in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OMG, can people stop saying Supernatural is totally devoid of strong female characters? They aren't around enough, but it's definitely not that they can't write them--just that they don't value keeping them.

Oy.

Ellen is mighty pissed right now, and Missouri is going to smack some people with a spoon. And you really don't want to get Meg or Ruby ticked off.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Lisa and Jo might have a few things to say, too. Or Sheriff Mills.

There are so fucking many. Expiration dates too soon, or they don't come around often enough, but that's really not the same thing.

Grump.

Because books.

Even a lot of the non-recurring characters are kickass women. The girl from Wendigo, for example, or the girl from Asylum. Nancy from Jus in Bello was a really strong female character. Not a common one, maybe, but one who had faith and determination and courage and intelligence.

Bela wasn't an *attractive* character, but she was a strong woman, too.

Oh, I thought she was very attractive.

She's more attractive on Vampire Diaries.

Whaaaat. Don't make me watch Vampire Diaries.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I think there's some confusion over the overly sexualized victims-of-the-week or the sexualized violence towards the female persons on the show, and an actual character on the show. Although the torture of Ruby by Alistair springs to mind. But that does not disqualify her from being a strong female character. Or an evil bitch.
