Yeah, I cant go over to lj unless I accept the risk, and that risk is great, of being spoiled. I know that going in.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Grrrr. ComicCon links are tempting meeeeee.
I hate knowing stuff ahead of time because it just makes me fret about it before I see how it plays out. One reason I'm (so far) unspoiled.
But the shiny--it beckons! Wah!

Sort of OT, but an interesting comment from Russell T. Davies, producer of Torchwood. There be spoilers for Torchwood in the quotes below:
Reporter's Question: But it's a risky thing to kill off such a popular character.
DAVIES: Absolutely. There's a risk that some people won't come back to watch now that Ianto's gone. I thank them for watching the show and I recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are beautiful.
Really? I admit to being quite shallow, but that's not entirely why I watch.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The rest of that quote could be quite offensive to some people.
I mean, I'm happy that a showrunner on another network has watched and appreciates--in whatever manner he does--SPN. But it feels like a backhanded slap, what with the flattery and then the implication that the pretty was the only reason to watch. Plus the potentially offensive thing--no wait. It isn't potentially offensive, it's concretely offensive to a certain segment of fans, who RTD dismisses by the comment.
Not especially well done, RTD.

Because books.
What is the rest of the quote?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Eh, it's RTD. He's tact-impaired.

"(TW Spoilery stuff) I thank them for watching the show and I recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are beautiful. And don't try to tell me they're brothers."
Which, while it isn't personally offensive, does seem rather tacky. Or as Plei says, tact-impaired.

He said "Don't try to tell me they're brothers"?! Wow.

Actually what the quote says is:
DAVIES: (spoilery stuff) I thank them for watching the show and I recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are beautiful. And don’t tell me they’re brothers. [Laughs] Not in my mind.
Which (I think) has a little different tenor? Maybe still less-than-tactful, but.
(interview is here, don't read it if you care about being spoiled for recent Torchwood.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It's absolutely a slap against the upset Torchwood fans. I'm not sure on the SPN side it's quite as pointed, though I can certainly see how it would be taken that way.
