I see all that shit, songs, wincest, meta, as part of the thread culture.

Right. And I can adjust myself to that now that I see that. I see now that where for me fic is a tangetial topic or is more clearly demarcated from show discussion, for others the two are far more intertwined and in fact cannot be neatly separated. Knowing (and now, understanding) that helps me a LOT.

This must be the fandom version of the grown-up's table.

Which is why I love this place.

Does that mean we get wine? I approve.

I certainly don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I'm fine with skipping until we get more show. I agree that any kind of tagging is too awkward for normal thread discourse.

You mean, we aren't drinking now?

As a mostly lurker (I tend to tivo and not watch for a few days, so by the time I get in here, everything's been said :) )I've just been skimming by the fic discussion, I figured that it was being discussed because there was no show to talk about. I didn't think that it was thread shift, just boredom. My .02, FWIW.

Well, it's nice to be all official about it.

Simon Said is on. I miss Andy, and Sam's visions. Sam's psychic freak thing, especially the telekinesis, definitely didn't get enough play.

Dean was very touch-y in Simon Said. It's fun to watch now and realize that JP was stoned on pain meds for the hand surgery when the ep was filmed. He's said he doesn't remember a lot from filming that ep.

Lordy, I miss Andy too. He was fun.

Wow! You people had me worried that something happened with Show. I saw the number of posts and I got a sick feeling that I didn't realized hiatus was over last Friday.

Holy smokes, I'm going to go drink something.

Ack! I am so sorry, Theresa! Alas, we have two and a fraction weeks left of hellatus.

Yes to all of this. I do wish they'd explored a little bit more of the whys and hows of the psychic freak thing. Did it go away when he got his demon-expulsion powers? Or was that a natural evolution?

I'm still miffed that Andy is gone. Ditto Ava. With Andy, one thing that strikes me is that all of the Special Children we saw (not counting Lily or the one Gordon killed - we hardly got to see what they were like), Andy was the only one who did not seem to have or develop a pattern of acting violently.

Lily didn't act violently. She was passively lethal, and burnt up about it. Did we ever see her act aggressively?

We didn't, but then again, she was onscreen for so little there was hardly anything to judge by. Anson and Max were already trouble when we met them. Ava changed dramatically, and I also thought Jake started out as seeming like a nice enough guy. And Sam, well... maybe I'll just have to re-examine the evidence. Again. And then again, just to make sure.
