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.

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

I remember forgetting the ending to Devour, and I'm pretty good with that. I knew the ending before I watched it, and then watching it erased it from my brain.

Because books.

I don't remember it, either, but I know it pissed me off a lot less than MBV's ending.

Boys need to make some non-horror movies (much as I love horror). And no more movies about cheesy painters, either.

Yeah--at least I managed to get through the horror movies. Stonehenge Apocalypse is the only one I enjoyed, and the Christmas Cottage I couldn't finish.

Action where they're the hero, or something where they get a sex scene--or both. But I'm not quite ready to give up the security of Show for it yet. I'm selfish and smallminded in that regard.

Oh, I'm not either. I realized the other day (as if this should be a revelation -- you think you're an emo fangirl) that one day the show will end, and then not only will I have no more Sam and Dean, I won't get any more updates on Jared and Jensen's shenanigans, or future children, or whatever.

I couldn't finish The Christmas Cottage or Stonehenge Apocalypse. But I'm willing to try the second one again either drunk or with some weed, for sure.

I not only finished Stonehenge Apocalypse, I discovered a couple days later that I regretted deleting it, and quickly illicitly obtained a version of it and saved it on my TiVo so I can rewatch as desired. Yet? 10 Inch Hero? Still unwatched. I don't know what I'm waiting for. It's, like, the only movie any one of them has done that people say is any good. Maybe that's it? I'm afraid of not suck?

I guess--I was lucky to segue from the Whedonverse into Supernatural. There wasn't really a gap there where I felt I didn't have anyplace to put my fangirl feels. I do not expect that to continue after Supernatural ends. Part of me isn't sure I can even do this another time. But I want to! It's the normal state of things. But spinning up for a new show! (Movies don't count--they're blips on the radar, not consistent crests) That's hard--I have fun with the Teen Wolf or the Leverage (which isn't supposed to last much longer--don't tell anyone I told you that...) or whatever, but it's not the same. And that's for good and ill.

What happens when I don't have at least one half of a pairing appearing in 22 episodes a year anymore? Who will I be?

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

MBV is the movie where Jensen accidentally clocked Kerr Smith in the face with a pickaxe handle, so on the basis of that alone the movie justified its existence.

I heard Jensen tell that story, Matt. Good times.

Part of me isn't sure I can even do this another time.

That's my problem. I mean, I thought I was a huge, hardcore Whedonverse fan, and I am to various degrees, but my Supernatural fannishness? A little startling, even to me. I think my instinct is I probably *shouldn't* do this again.

I love Leverage, and I love White Collar, and I love Justified (which probably comes closest to the level of emotional angst I apparently need), but they're all too short, frankly. There's only so far I can go as a fan with twelve episodes here and twelve episodes there.

I think I'm in the process of emotionally disengaging from SPN and transferring my mania to Teen Wolf.

I would love to see what SPN would have to do (or how I would have to change) in order for me to emotionally disengage. I think Teen Wolf is all sorts of fun, but it's never going to make me gasp and cry and cheer in the Pavlovian way Supernatural can. This I predict. Kripke has rerouted neural responses in me that will take years and repetition to undo. Carry On Wayward Son, Renegade, Knocking on Heaven's Door? I appreciate any show's attempt at trying, but I don't know if I have it in me to do that again. I don't know if I can break for characters the way I broke for the Winchesters (and Harvelles, and Singers, and odd angel...) again. Or cheer.

I feel the same way. Now I get what all those Smallville fans were doing in S17 or whatever. I'm in this till the end.
