It's still Grover, isn't it?! Oh my god, as much as I love Elmo, that book *needs* to always be Grover. I read that book in Grover voice to all of the kids more times than I count, and lemme tell you, that's not easy on the throat by the end.

Plus, Grover! Grover's my man. Monster. Whatever.

I think it's actually considered a sequel, where Elmo begs you to turn the pages, while Grover protests. I've managed to never actually read it, because I'm afraid it will taint my childhood memories. Or something.

So. Wrong.

I am very sad that I never read this book. I mean, I can still read it, but I have clearly missed out on the formative childhood experience. And I heart Grover.

Meanwhile, my self-control has crumbled - I've only got one chapter left of my story, and so I figured, what the hell...and am now mainlining my SPN disk of 4.11 through 4.16. Have watched first 4 eps. Have enjoyed them all v. much indeed, although am now sad. Oh, Dean. Oh, Sam. Boys, boys, boys.

I liked Family Remains v. much - nice Old Skool horror film vibe, v. well done (although it did make me a little squeamish with the shout-out to the Austrian family. That's a little too recent, and I squirm at the thought of any of those kids stumbling across that if they watch the show. Which they might). Loved Chris Angel is a Douchebag to pieces, with the old guys being awesome, and tragic, and Dean getting sent to see "the chief" (I'd guessed Leather Bar, which was close), and all that jazz. As people had previously said, Young!Dean in After School Special wasn't as good as he could have been (and I found him distractingly not pretty), but, dear God, High School is horrifying. I mean, not the ghosts and murders, but just the everyday awfulness. I look back on my High School and marvel at how comparatively unhorrifying it was. Anyway, yes - Wee!Sammy was love, just splendid, and, Jesus, it broke my heart a little bit. Also, Coach Dean was comedy gold, in a cringe-inducing way. And then Sex and Violence, with the hot doctor who was SUCH a SammyGirl (and I have to admit, much as I adore the hell out of Dean, I have of late been coming to an increased appreciation of Sam. Or possibly I mean Jared. Maybe both. But the shoulders are definitely part of the equation, so I may mean Jared), and the Siren being the fella who plays Hoyt Fortenberry, from True Blood! Man, I love him on True Blood - never cared much for the character in the books, but he does a great job of being disarming as you like. Bless. (I was absolutely fine with Bobby being the deus ex machina, and had forgotten that he was going to save the day, and was sitting there thinking "...but how are they going to get out of this logically? For they are totally fucked!" and I don't think I'd have bought either one of them magically resisting or overcoming the poison. Although it would have been lovely if Dean could have done that, particularly when his weakness and neediness and uselessness was being made such a point of - but I don't think it would have been plausible. Satisfying, yes, but plausible, not so much.

Oh, boys. You are so fucked. And Sam is a better hunter, and stronger, and more ruthless, and all those things. It's true.

is sad

I love Fay loving SPN. That's all, really, right now. As she says, bless.

And Sam is a better hunter, and stronger, and more ruthless, and all those things. It's true.

Hmm. And yet I suspect that Dean's "weakness"--that he's not ruthless, in particular--is what's going to save them both. It would be a nice switcheroo from their positions at the beginning of the show, where Dean was the ruthless hunter, convinced of his superiority compared to mundanes, and Sam was always concerned about mainstream morality.

And Sam is a better hunter, and stronger, and more ruthless, and all those things

Though it looked to me like it was going to end with Dean killing Sam, if Bobby had not interrupted. Do I misremember?

How nice was it to see Kristin's Save One Show and not have horse in the race? THIS nice.

I have a couple! Wah.

::hugs P-C::

There are a couple that I am sad, but honestly, I've lost track of watching them. The only one left for me was T:SSC and the show took care of me being invested in that last week with a bullet to the brain. This is the first time though that my current One True Show hasn't been a likely cut. Or an already announced cut. eta: Not literally the first, but you know, seems like it.
