'Out Of Gas'
[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 actually didn't mind the hypersexual vermin thing they had going on, just because it was so different from the fetishisation so many other universes have of them.
But Rick Worthy can't not bring grandeur to the table, I'm fairly certain. He's good, but he's not that good. But, between the original vamps, Lenore, and the Alpha, it feels more human--they are pretty much evil and worth killing as a reflex, but they're not interchangeable, and I feel they're still consistent enough.
Ha I was discussing gender norms (and the difference between normalising male stereotypes and expanding the range of acceptable female behaviour) and in response to me calling out Dean's tears, someone wrapped up their post with this:
Dean Winchester: Bad Ass. Boyfriend to Angels. Single Mom.
Heh. Oh, as usual, DEAN.
I've been watching Buffy all day, and I think some of my initial fondness for Castiel probably stems from associations with Anya, who I always loved. That total *other* thing, and trying so hard to understand the humans.
Oh, man, Rick Worthy is a lovely human, isn't he? I first remember him as Imhotep on SG-1, and he was memorable. Then I was so psyched to see him on BSG. How awesome that the Supernatural role came along as his endurance was flagging. Show.
I don't have any particular attachment to Anya, so I know my crazy angel-love isn't related. It's just because he's his special badassed not-getting-it better-than-you-all needing-someone-to-slavishly-follow self.
Oh, I love Cas for Cas, too, but watching some Anya today, I realized that they're similar in some ways. And it amused me.
Cas/Anya would be hysterical.
Rick Worthy is a lovely human, isn't he?
In many, many ways, yes. I love that he said he knows the Alpha's real name! That's very cool.
There are many things or ways that Dean is never going to feel, never going to describe himself as feeling, and "non-conned" is totally one of those.
Neither real people nor people on TV shows (save maybe Abed, maybe) talk that way.
Okay, I already looked at the tags of a few of these posts, and it's not helping. Where's this: [link] from again?
Oh! And this: [link] ?
Zombie-ghost orgy is from It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester, and the stick figure drawing is from Dead in the Water.
"Non-conned" like ... raped?
Okay, that was Dean's drawing he was showing to Lucas?
Metaphorically raped, I guess. She really just meant "forced". "Non-conned" was totally jarring.
