Sneak peek at this week's episode.

So, coming late to the Supernatural party, this evening I purchased my THIRD set of pirate DVDs and these seem to be the least crappy ones so far. I've now watched Monster Movie and Yellow Fever. Enjoyed both of them quite a lot (Dean in leiderhosen, and Sam's response to same, and Dean's attempt to be threatening whilst looking like Hansel, was worth the admission price), but I have to say, Yellow Fever kind of lost me with Bobby and Sam being so fucking calm about Dean being two hours away from dying. Which - especially when they have the well observed character note of Bobby refusing a beer at the end (recalling his descent into the bottle after Dean's death), struck me as an extraordinary directorial choice. I mean, yes, okay, it's a funny ep, Jensen is goofing around, I'm laughing, ho ho - but if your premise is that Dean is genuinely on the brink of death here, then surely to fuck these two people who had been so gutted by his death are going to be at least A BIT worried? For fuck's sakes? Instead of all 'Hey, it's a teevee show, we know it'll all be cool, let's just be blase,' like it was the fucking A Team or something. I mean, Bobby speaking Japanese was charming, bless (and well done clever actor dude for knowing Japanese - most impressive), but I was too busy going "But...WHY ARE YOU BOTH SO UNSTRESSED????" to enjoy it.

Grrrr.

It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester looks a bit more promising (why hello there, angel of the Lord!), but I'm going to go to bed now, I think, rather than stay up for another hour. Time's winged chariot, and all that.

Man, I do have a mighty love for the brothers Winchester. And Dean's little feathered friend.

And by love I mean porn.

Yeah, Fay, I have a similar reaction. I can enjoy it if I sort of wank it back to say season two, but not now, not when they've just gotten him back and know where he's likely going if it ends. It really doesn't sit right.

Right?

Also, I have to say, since Dean was supposed to be being haunted - if I were Dean, or Sam, I'd've been running a bath and filling it with salt water and chucking Dean in. Because I figure, hey, it couldn't hurt, right? What with them not having a fucking plan.

(...no, this thought wasn't prompted by the impulse to see nekkid Ackles. Nekkid Ackles would just have been a happy and optional side effect of this pragmatic thought. Honestly.)

Hey, did anyone else notice it's Thursday?

I did!!! As soon as I woke up. I needed a reason to get moving. Though now I'm questioning why rolling over and sleeping until SPN time didn't occur to me.

Does the Thursday dance.

I see Fay acknowledges the beauty of nekkid Ackles. Smart woman, our Fay.

It's Thursday! I know it! I've been counting down since ... Monday night, which is just sad, really.

SHOW!

Woo hoo!

I have the day off, and the day is Thursday, so I am doubly happy. And I have sound on the CW again, so, yay for that.

Whee!

...Nope, that's all right now. Maybe more later. Wheee!
