This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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.

Because books.

I didn't articulate that very well. It's more that if you are a teenager, you want Dean to have what would make you happy, i.e. a proposal with a kitten and the chance to call someone "fiance".

It's why in so much bad romance, men don't ever behave like, well, men, or speak like men. They turn into every soggy fantasy of the nice guy who only cares about the heroine's feeeeeelings and pleasure and lifelong desires.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Do we know that he's been channelling them in the first place?

I think it's implied that's what he did with the 50,000 he got from Crowley - tapping into them to charge up for that surprise attack instead of bowing to Raphael. But who knows what would happen if he opened Purgatory and started monkeying around with souls that are no longer exactly human.

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

I get the bit where everyone wants everyone to hug. I really do. (MY god, the amount of Batfamily hugging fanart--it's incredible). But the number of authors I'm having to LJ note because they don't seem to be watching the same show with the same characters...I dunno, sometimes the disconnect creeps me out. I don't get what they can see in the canon.

It's implied they were used in some way. But where's the indication they went through him? They may just have been fed into the war machine Rachel mentioned.

Crowley mentioned it being quite a coup for him to take 50,000 of them to Heaven with him, so apparently he has some way of transporting/transfiguring them along with himself. I'm just assuming the mechanism is similar to what we saw with Bobby.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I rewatched Mommy Dearest this morning, and had a Duh, but Hey! moment-- when Cas was interrogating the Jefferson Starship in the jail cell, he was effectively human. but was still a BAMF, at least when it came to torture.

Well, we know they make briefcases that can carry them.

I'm not saying they don't go through him--I'm just saying we have no evidence that they do. It could be for the weapons Balthazar was holding and they just feed into that, or he could be amping himself up. Remains to be seen.

What I liked about that moment was that Bobby looked at him like "But what can you do?" And then...he did what he could do. Because he's hardcore like a boss.

Interesting that the angels had to turn to Dean for interrogating a captive in Season 4, and now one of them is apparently better at it than Crowley.

ETA: I just read that Lauren Cohan's lawyer/angel pilot that sounded like a SPN spinoff wasn't picked up by the CW.

Neither was the zombie hunting sisters pilot.

Man, it is weird watching Castiel and Donna from That 70s Show have sex with each other and terrorize victims.
