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.
Huh. So the kid's name is...Shark? Or maybe Jump?
Kay.
I'm just. This ep was way too self-referrential for my taste. Without my fourth wall, man, I don't really care what happens--the characters have lost their reality. And I really could care less about Cousin Oliver. Lilith, schmilith. The writers put a stake in it.
I was a little iffey on the slash stuff, (eta: though it did work better than I would have thought, and made me laught to boot) but I don't get a real cousin Oliver vibe off the new kid. It's not like painful family issues are new to the show.
As far as the kid is concerned, I'm wondering if it's a misleading promo, and that the lost Winchester boy is not really at all.

That's my read. This is something else entirely. Show's not going there, even if fic does.
I thought that was Lauren Cohan on Life (I just watched the ep this evening), but I couldn't get confirmation anywhere. And no, she didn't look or act much like a park ranger.
I'll reserve judgment on the kid, then, and wait and see.
This episode is about equal with Malleus Maleficarum for my least favorite--not for exactly the same reasons, but for similar ones.
I'm calling the kid "Cousin Oliver" - and think that the actor strongly reminds me of the actor who played teenaged Dean in Afterschool Special.
I loved the episode - so damn funny.
Plus - I WANT THOSE BOOKS.
I loved last night's episode more than I ever thought I could. For me, I think some of my pleasure in the episode might come from reading the TWoP boards. The pokes at the fans were the best thing ever. I think Dean's Vonnegut reading it probably a poke at the TWoP DeanGirls who are constantly complaining that the show makes Dean look dumb. There is a "simpatico" who posts on the TWoP SPN boards, too. (I don't recall if s/he's a DeanGirl, though.)
So I'm guess this was a good episode to catch after not seeing the show for this season.
You might be all caught up, connie.

I'm calling him Donny (Dawneeee!)
Donny - hee.
I hadn't realized that there is an actual Twopper called Simpatico.
(I skip and skim the Twop boards.)
Now I wish I had posted on the SPN TWoP boards because, come on, how could they have resisted using Polter-Cow, right?
