I think for me, when I get attached to show like this, I'm watching it sort of as a friend. As in, I don't really care about the Big Bads that much, I just want to know how my friends are doing, if that makes sense. Same way I wouldn't say I wished a friend's divorce had been more dramatic, with more of a clear-cut arc, I'm much more interested in just seeing Sam and Dean interact than I am in whatever the latest apocalypse is.
Which is weird, I realize.
It's safe to say that I don't love Sam or Dean any less than I ever have. I don't "worry" less about them, or laugh less at them. The danger signal for me is when I drift away from the protagonists. Yes, the show can always be better, but then again, I liked a more corporate villain (not in the league of the Mayor, but I think cut from similar cloth) for the boys. It was a nice break from angels and demons, which I was kinda burnt out on.
This person should be booted out of fandom for not calling this: [link] Cas-tea-el.
JUST SAYING.
I just realised more tickled me about this than the punchline.
Jared? Really? That
is
your favourite? You're adorable.
And Misha, I'm assuming that's a West thing, which is +500 cute points to house Collins right away.
I bet it's his favorite NOW. Although my niece's favorite animal has always been the moose, so who knows.
I don't get the West Wing ref, but I do love the looks on their faces when the kid says "vampire bat". Heh.
Not West Wing, West
thing.
West Anaximander.
Amy, I read it as West Wing the first time too.
Jared is adorable.
D'oh.
Jared's face is so adorable there. What I love is that he has no clue his equally adorable baby is going to say things just as surprising one day.
Okay, this: [link] is an interesting premise for an AU. They've taken out hunting and put music in its place. Somehow songs and albums represent some of the arcs and monsters in a weird way. Dean sleeps with everyone, but it's D/C endgame.
It's also written in an essay style.
WIP alert, though.
