Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

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

it's unlikely your head is going to stay perfectly straight unless you make an effort. Which you can't, if you're dead or comatose.

I don't think your head will tilt if you're dead, and when I pass out from drugs, I'm straight up.

But I like the idea that Dean tilts Sam's face so he can look at him from the other room, and that he has a specific way of arranging his brother while he goes to do something stupid. Or waits to see the results of the last stupid thing he did. Because it's a habit by now.

Oh my, Misha.

He's on roll, right? Feeling a little punchy.

And the video about octopuses was quite funny.

Also, it's unlikely your head is going to stay perfectly straight unless you make an effort.

Maybe TMI so I'll whitefont: My mom's stayed straight. Didn't shift at all. What did happen is her mouth was slightly open and after about a half an hour, it closed. Gases.

I hate when someone is trying to make a point about show biases and conveniently can't remember any exceptions. Show is racist because you can't remember Rufus, Victor, Missouri, Tamara, or Joshua? Sexist because you define Mary, Jo, Ellen, Meg, and Lilith by their genitalia? There's a point at which you have to admit you're doing some of the heavy lifting.

You really have to do more to convince me that Bobby is significantly more complex than Ellen.

Because books.

I know I don't come from the same place a lot of people do in watching shows like this, but the feeling I keep getting is that no one is ever going to be happy. And that a lot of people are doing unnecessary heavy lifting.

Bobby gets more screen time than Ellen did, but more complex? No.

I love Bobby, but complicated he's not. If you're going to bitch that he gets nuanced writing and Ellen never did, I don't know what you want out of the show.

Of course, if you say Dean continually hit on Jo, I'm also not sure what show you were watching. Jo hit on Dean, nobody hit on anyone, Dean hit on Jo. There was no continual.

I'd love if the show had more heavily recurring black characters. But I don't think it's racist because it doesn't, because it doesn't treat the black characters any worse than the white ones.

I'd love if the show had more heavily recurring female characters. But that has nothing to do with how well they can write a woman when they actually want to make her a character (instead of a pinup in jeopardy). Although we've had a slew of nubile victims, we've had a bunch of great and interesting women too.

What you said.

Also, I need to rewatch the last episode again. Just ... because.

I'm trying to set up a script for QA testing an application I'm working on, and I just realised my first seach instruction was "Search for 'jake'" and my second was "Search for 'abel'".

My subconscious surprised me on that one.

Heh. Poor Adam. I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened to him, or if we're supposed to assume housing Michael just blew him to pieces.
