Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[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.
What Beverly said.
I get scared of how sad Dean will get, what lengths he'll go to for Sam, and what lengths Sam will go to in order to "redeem" himself.
Also what ita ! said, with a strong side order of being very, very scared indeed when the boys' relationship is threatening to fracture. That hits me hard, even though I know the show won't go that way permanently.
For me,
when the boys' relationship is threatening to fracture
that makes me what I would call worried and anxious, instead of scared. I think I'm just splitting hairs semantically, though. Show gives me constant anxiety.
Feral children? All too horribly real and possible. Still makes me shudder. It's why Missy is the very worst of the Benders. The men I can watch like Creature Feature, but Missy? Makes my skin crawl.
A former co-worker of mine used to be a census taker. She once told me her supervisor's story about going to a ramshackle home wayyyyy out in the woods to deliver a questionaire and being paced by feral children in the underbrush to either side of the path on her walk back to her car. It was basically like one of the stalking scenes in The Hills Have Eyes, although the lady made it out safely.
Yikes.
For reasons that I won't go into, I'm now imagining Sam and Dean as Bert and Ernie, in that order.
I'm reading through more J2BB summaries, and this bit had me laughing like a drain:
Jensen Tentackles
The Winchesters had to deal with multiple Gods in season 1 or 2? Which episode was that?
There's the apple god in the first two seasons, as well as Loki. I don't think they address multiple gods in one episode until S3, though, right?
If that was to me, I was wrong like a wrong thing. It was season 3, A Very Supernatural Christmas, and it was a wrench to Dean's teeth.
Oh yeah, the teeth thing was bad.
I've been thinking more on the creepy thing, and I just connected the creepy factor of Family Remains to X-Files' Home. I think Home out-creepied any creepy that any show past, present, or future is likely to come up with. I still get a full-body shudder thinking of that one. And Family Remains was a definite callback to it--at least for me.
Matt, that's just--gah.

Oh god, yeah. Although for a few minutes I was worried The Benders was heading that way, too, and definitely had a lot of the same vibe.
