That was a pretty funny vid. Reminded me of old school TWOP.

I love the girl crying in the outer room. And the guy who has to keep loosening his collar. Awesome.

It's sad that there's no S3 love. I don't really feel it much either.

I still maintain that Kripke could have done some interesting things with Bela's character if he hadn't freaked out at the craxy fangirls' reaction.

And I still like Dean hyperventilating over the missing car.

I like my memories of S3 more than the actuality, it seems. There are definite moments that I like, and fierce-assed Sammy is ♥, but S1 and S2 are better. However, it does have A Very Supernatural Christmas which is a top five heartbreaker love for me.

Dean's hyperventilation and Sam's completely sincere concern about it crack me up.

I don't have as big gender (and race) problems with the show as many people do, but I definitely think Kripke caving to the nutjob fangirls and removing recurring female characters from the tapestry is major major fail.

Also looking forward to Sam's speech to Dean in ... whatever the episode is called when Gordon returns. That was a heartbreaker.

That's tomorrow! And then A Very Supernatural Christmas is Wednesday!

Unfortunately that makes Malleus Malleficefuckarum Thursday, but you can't have everything.

I'm trying to work out my favourite episodes. I'm holding out on S3 and S4, because I'm not episode-specific on those yet, but if I were going to list ones from S1, 2, and 5, I'd probably go like this (in airing order):

S1

• Skin
• Faith
• Asylum
• Shadow
• Salvation
• Devil's Trap

S2

• In My Time Of Dying
• Crossroad Blues
• Croatoan
• Nightshifter
• Houses of the Holy
• Born Under a Bad Sign
• Heart
• Hollywood Babylon
• ...okay, pretty much all the rest of S2. Damn.

S5

• The End
• Changing Channels
• The Song Remains The Same
• My Bloody Valentine

Oooh, I'd have to look at the episode lists to do that properly, and I can't because I need to finish writing copy, and then tackle another chapter of the book.

I keep meaning to ask you if got the SPN essay anthology, and then I worry that you hated it. In which case, sorry?

Well, for when you have time, IMDB SPN episode list and summaries. You know. Because I need to know.

I got the book this weekend, but I haven't cracked it yet. I don't read as much as I used to, or I should, because of the headaches. But essays should be easier to consume. I'm looking forward to it.

You're so helpful. With TEMPTING DISTRACTIONS.

Oh, I already went there. And then closed Notepad and the IMDb tab. It's useless really. I'm such a character whore, and even the less-than-well-written S1 & S2 eps have important character and backstory notes my completist heart craves. I didn't get as far as S3, because even MM has redeeming ('cause, no, not enough to redeem) some good moments, primarily the last scene with Dean and Ruby.

I'd do better listing the handful of eps I really didn't like. And even then, some gold among the dross.
