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.
@jumblejim My favorite @jarpad remark ever: after delays setting up a shot: "C'mon guys! It's not rocket Scientology."
Heh.
Great. Now Xenu is going to devour him whole. SMART MOVE, BEAV.
(Hey, I wonder if they can battle Xenu in season 8?)
(Who's Xenu?)
He's pretty much the big bad of Scientology.
I didn't know they had one of those. But all I know about Scientology pretty much = Tom Cruise and John Travolta, so.
He's the only deity anyone ever mentions, which means he's used interchangeably in snark for bad guy or worshipped guy. I have to admit, I have no idea if they do have a benevolent deity, because that would be paying more attention than they're worth, IMNSH(at all)O.
I'm just tickled that Jared was snarking on it.
For more detail than you want David Ehrenstein's fablog has a good outline of the mythology (including the parts Scientology tried to copyright so they could sell access at a high price) somewhere. On the dying computer (been dying for more than a year now) so not going to overcome various computer quirks to find the link.
Oh, if only I didn't find Ehrenstein insufferable.
