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.
I was TORTURED in a Twitter chat for 90 min., and every other word was either LOL or ROFL. I watched with one eye, and have no idea what happened.
If my editor and I hadn't been texting snark to each other during, I would have killed someone.
Now, to sit and watch properly.
Orb of Thesulah was the container for Angel's soul, right?
yup!
Dean was pronouncing it strangely.
yeah...they pronounced it "thes-eh-lay". i'm still considering it a shout-out.
looked up the writers on imdb and this is, like, their first tv writing gig. i was expecting to find a Buffy/Angel connection.
Well, at least we know they (the new writers) have good taste. And they can't be held responsible for how the BOYS pronounce things. They were probably at home cringing themselves.
well...the store owner said it first. i think they were just going with how he pronounced it.
Good point. It was maybe a conscious choice to have the store owner not know accurate information. Then the boys just repeated what they heard.
eta: Maybe the store owner is related to the BBS?
OK, a BBS that is way more bad ass.
LilyDale could also have been like Sunnydale, where strange things are expected. "Forget it Sam, it's LilyDale".
Well....interesting previews.
I think Dean said it differently than the pawn shop guy did, but I put that off to Dean saying shit wrong, like he does.
When pawn shop guy said he was psychic, I groaned, because that is not the quip to make when you are *telekinetice*! It made no sense! Also, he should have been homlier, because that guy could have cleaned up alright enough.
Show is playing directly into my issues right now (I wonder why I was surprised to be diagnosed as having sex on the brain earlier on), and it's kind of hard to watch. So I wasn't as upset as I'd normally be to be watching it on delay. But I'm still addicted, so I catch up before going to bed.
The pacing of the transition from cold Sam, hinging on "You'd have killed her if you didn't know her" to a bit of a warmer Sam worked for me. The smile he gave in the cafe just about broke my heart with happiness.
The plot itself was less...anything. I called that it was the wrong sister, and that it was the pawnshop guy as soon as they went to him for credit card information. But Sam looked great with his gun, as did Dean with his plethora of weapons and getting the shit knocked out of him.
I think the pawnshop guy's point was that he had no charisma, no showmanship. So even if he cleaned up, he'd still be a lump on stage.
OMG, did I ever love GTA!Dean. Fucking loved it. It's almost as good as alkie!Dean. I love when they're not being heroes, and they are being criminals. Boys! What kind of car did he steal? And, of course, we can assume Sam stole a car too. I wonder what sort it was...I want to know these things about him, dammit.
I love it when Sam steals cars (or makes fake 911 calls or whatever) even more, I think, because that's when you see that the casual criminality is just as second nature to him as to Dean.
I do love that Dean walks around with one of those door-lock thingies in his jacket, though. And he stole a nice car, or it would be, cleaned up.
I think it was a GTO, but I'd have to look again.

It's the lock-picking that gets me.
