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.

So, this week's Sleepy Hollow had a wendigo, with shades of both the wendigo episode and the skinwalker, with a dose of rebellion against one's father.

But I can't remember what show had a "Wendigo Industries" or something similar--just know that my "SPN already hit that" sensor went off multiple times recently. Oh! And John Noble would have made an awesome Crowley.

I remember when the show started, people were all "Horseman of Death? Supernatural already hit that!" and then radio silence...

Notably, what the difference an FX budget does make...SPN must cost like Jensen's salary + Jared's salary + .5(Misha's salary). Can't explain the deficit.

3rd November means it's Dean/Cas Big Bang Posting Day. My author hasn't ficced yet, but here is my art mastpost at tumblr and on lj (contains excerpts of story).

It's really good. My mini bang author was good too, but this chick is better.

Don't tell anyone I said that...

Because books.

msbelle, it helps to apply handwavium (no salt) to plot holes liberally.

I'm not following -- do you mean Sleepy Hollow's FX budget is much bigger?

We actually get to see not just monsters, but the transitions. I can't help but think how much SPN has done without showing much, and how much they dared to. I don't know how well the dragons worked, for instance, but I respect them for trying to put dragons in their mythology, rather than sticking to the scope of their budget, which must be vanishingly small.

I know the last time I looked, three or four years ago, SPN had the lowest price for ads on the CW. I'm just grateful about the breadth of what they've done, considering. I just imagine the budget for wardrobe on, say, Arrow and and am just grateful we keep getting renewed.

I'm confused -- why is the 200th episode not on tonight? They had some big party for it last night in L.A.! But my station is reairing the special, and IMdB says the episode is slated for Nov. 11.

Signed,

I thought it was tonight! Now I'm bummed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because election coverage? That was my assumption. Only Fox appears to be airing new episodes of regular programming tonight if I am reading my onscreen guide right.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

That works for me...wasn't going to be able to watch tonight anyway. But I had been looking forward to having it on TIVO when I get home.

That does make sense. Oh well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

huh ... you'd think elections and demons would be a perfect pairing

I was just coming here to ask Amy's question. I love this place.
