That's a big gap between DVDs and season start--usually it's not easily enough to complete a rewatch, is it? But that's half a month!
V. sad.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

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.

J2BB has started posting. Reading the first one, and was all surprised that they kept Cas around, and I was warmed to think that a S/D shipper could include Cas in their fic without demonizing or banishing him, except it turns out that he's basically been infantilized with zero growth. I could take the infantilization if he'd been slowly maturing in the background, gaining independence, but he's static, and the fic is almost done. I'd rather he'd been made evil.

Fine. I'll fucking serial post again. See if I give a shit...oh, hey! Saved by the bird.
Look at this! [link] It's way too much for me, but if that really exists, I'll buy that person a shot of their choice.
I was thinking about Mary today. How did she spend the ten years of her life after the deal? I mean, she remembers it, right? And she's familiar with the supernatural enough to know that these trades are traditionally for one's soul.
How do you live the next ten years? I mean, you think you did the right thing, because the man you love is alive again, but that's ten years of waiting for the other shoe to drop, and you know you never get the better end of a deal with evil. They win. It's what they do.
She seemed a little surprised, I guess, when she discovered him in Sam's room, but how surprised could she have been? Was she counting off the days? Could she? How accurate was it?
Suddenly I'm wondering--what if the house hadn't been big enough for Dean to have his own room, at least not yet?
Why am I wondering all of this now?

And, oh my gosh Misha in that oversized shoulder-padded suit-jacket and the ominous voice of 1040s!!!1! Too cute.
You're welcome.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Not only has the main SPN big bang started posting, so has the SPN crossover big bang. There is a SPN/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover. I'm only partway through it right now, but it is glorious in a 'laughing so hard I can't breathe' sort of way.

Hey, my essay from In the Hunt is up on SmartPopBooks until Wednesday! Neat.

Hee. It's awesome so far.

Question: Do you count Swan Song as one of Sam's deaths?
Also, for extra credit, do you think Buffy killed Angel in Becoming II?

I think so, yeah. He was as dead as Dean was when Lilith's hell hounds chewed him up and he went to hell. We just didn't see the body die, but you assume that it did since ... it wasn't going to the cage alive, right?
I think Buffy thought she killed Angel, or assumed that was what happened, yes.

Huh. I don't think he was dead. I think Dean was dead, because they mauled him and left a corpse to be buried, but in my reading of Swan Song (and in a debate maybe no one will call me on over at IO9), I think he just went to hell. Much like Angel did, but without the belly wound.
Also, in my head, what Cas did was reach in and grab the body, not realising he didn't get everything, but for Dean, he went in for the soul and then rebuilt a body to put it in.
