Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
It felt like the whimsy of Wonderfalls without the compensating factor of Tim.
Which? It pretty much was. I love Lee Pace *so* much, and the rest of the cast was strong. The production design was engrossing, captivating.
But the actual plots, the emotional arcs I was supposed to get caught up in?
Left me utterly cold.
For the record, I should cop to not liking Dead Like Me much either. As much as I encouraged Colin to go for the Munster role, it wasn't...okay, fine, it's never... all about me.
Ugh, could not get into DLM. Left me cold. But I was captivated by the unbearable sweetness of PD. Which is also why I think that a SPN/PD crossover would work. A little rock salt for all that sugar.
I can't see them meshing at all, really, for that reason. It's like the kitten-rescuing curtain fics where Cas frowns at Dean until he teetotals, and Sam becomes a well-respected lecturer at the local law school.
Basically--either the Ugly Sweater!Verse, or the mute!Cas verse.
I would love to see a SPN crossover with Wonderfalls. I think the tone could mesh with SPN's goofier side. Also, Dean vs. Jaye would be epic.
For a minute, I thought you said JaYne, and I realized the Firefly crossovers are probably there for a reason. I would totally watch/read that, and Wonderfalls, too.
God, Jaye's skepticism blow off the top of her head, despite her talking brass monkey.
Wonderfalls had, I felt, potential edge. The world wasn't on the line, or anything, but still.
The snark was fantastic. And Jaye had that cynicism going, too.
I still keep coming up with shows I would have loved to see on Changing Channels -- something animated, like The Simpsons, and even something like a PBS round table show. Which probably only I would have found funny, but I can just see Dean scowling at Charlie Rose.
And Sam engaging in earnest discourse. Indeed.
I don't know anything about PBS, but I will never not think Dean+Oprah=comedy gold.
I am trying, in another window, to write down everything I ship. It's clear that if there is such a thing as a "shipper", I'm clearly one of them. Big ol' shipper ho. Someone asked who I shipped, and I'm so disappointed with the list of about 15 couples I tossed off, because it looks like I don't care about Captain Jack/Ianto, and that's clearly untrue...fuck--I didn't even remember Sam/Brady.
I'd have to think about who I ship. I only do it with some shows. Bobby/Sheriff Mills was a favorite sort of secondary one for SPN. But I also draw a line between who I think would have hot sex and who's in lurvvvve, in my head. (For example: Sam/Brady? Hot sex, maybe once or twice. Dean/Cas? Lurvvvve.) Meaning that I don't really consider it ship unless it's the latter. For me, anyway.
