Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Furiously offended, more like.

I dunno. I saw LARPing girls, the bad ghost wasn't the woman, and the gay guys lived! For Supernatural, it's practically progressive!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And there was a black guy LARPing too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I saw LARPing girls, the bad ghost wasn't the woman, and the gay guys lived! For Supernatural, it's practically progressive!

As mottsy as I found it, I absolutely have to give you that. They saved people and hunted things. And even felt like a family. Perhaps I might end up liking this ep more than I did on initial watch.

There was! At least one!

Which is more than I think I saw my whole time LARPing at conventions! (Which are notoriously white and ooky around here.)

I dunno, I think it's possible that my point of entry into fandom was so different than a lot of my media fandom friends that the frame of reference I have is not theirs. I mean, I started going to conventions at 16, almost 20 years ago. Fangirl fandom, which I prefer to the fanboy dominated space, that's only since 2001 for me. The thing is... there are tells, right? And I prefer fangirls, but I was raised by fanboys. All mentors I had as a teen were fanboys, or fangirls in fanboy culture, and I know their ways. Like, the pigtail pulling that's going on? It's not coming from the place of "You weirdos are so weird!" so much as the "I know you are, but what am I? (yeah, fine, I'm one, too!)" place. So other people are seeing it as mean, and I'm seeing it as, "Holy crap, were we at the same [fannish event] or something 15 years ago? We own the same role playing books, don't we?"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Okay, those little outtakes at the end? ARE THE BEST THINGS!

There were outtakes at the end? How did I miss that?

dropping by for a rare appearance....

I loved LOVED that when Real!Sam and Real!Dean "tagged" along on the cemetary expedition they had to go in character as Bobby and Rufus... now that's attention to detail.

Art Crawl!!!

Hee. Loved the episode - and your w&P is totally made of win and made me love the episode ALL OVER AGAIN.

Someday, I'm going to get me a laptop so I can W&P properly too.

BTW, Mo Ryan may drop by the con tomorrow afternoon. (So fun that the con episode was aired the day before the Chicago con!)

I know my friends at the con will be looking for her.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

shrift, you around? I'd be interested to hear what you thought of this ep, given your earlier Motts.
