I used to be able to W&P, but with new eps I'm usually too mesmerized to say anything.
That's what you do during commercial breaks! If you're not using them to make munchies, that is.
Regarding "Lazarus Rising" -- I always wondered how Dean and Bobby managed to levitate so they could paint all those symbols on the tops of the walls and the ceiling of the picturesque yet empty (but electrified) barn.
Other random comments...one of Dean's first comments to Sam is "Don't lie to me," which sets up the big theme for the season. Yet Dean has no problem lying to Sam about where he's going with Bobby (he's planning on summoning a dangerous entity; for all he knows he could be endangering his life and Bobby's as well. And Sam would be left not knowing what the hell had happened to either of them.) (And of course on the other hand, Sam was off on his Sooper Seekrit mission not telling Dean what he was doing either.)
I was making note of Castiel's attitude of people as cannon fodder -- he has no hesitation towards killing the vessels housing the demons, judging by the bodies in the diner.
Dean's casual dismissal of Sam's gung-ho readiness to attack the diner demons despite Sam's knowledge and his experience killing demons always sets my teeth on edge (seen in the flip "well the smarter brother's back" comment and the lack of any discussion). I'd put it down to Dean's greater first-hand experience with the nasty side of demons if he hadn't told Sam he didn't remember any of it. Instead it just comes across as bullheadedness. That and the tossing of the iPod into the backseat (since the driver picks the music and Dean drives 99.8% of the time, does Sam ever get to listen to anything he wants to hear?) just annoy me. Yes, perhaps I am easily annoyed today.
I didn't get to watch much of the next episode, but I always enjoy Sam's sheer glee at the idea of angels and his absolute trust in the idea that Dean deserves the attention of God and the heavenly rescue squad.
Two and a half hours to the return of Show!!
Dean can lie to Sam, because Dean is the big brother.
No, I don't think it's a good reason, but I think it's a Dean reason, and a directly-inherited-from-John reason.
When does hell come back for Dean again?
Aargh, I have to unsub from this thread in two hours. I hate you all (except for those of you I don't hate, and that should be perfectly clear).
Totally not the right east coast's fault we get everything first.
::preens::
Having annoying relatives on Facebook suddenly makes me want a funny story where Sam has to deal with Facebook. Dean, too, actually (once Sam tells him what it is).
Oh, Christina Hendricks made #2 on the chick list! Many of those women leave me cold, but Salma and Christina are made of buxom win.
Okay, finishing up today's repeats.
Rosario Dawson is my other girl-pick off that list.
Man, those photos were so assembled by a straight guy. The women are soft core porn shots. The men? Well, apart from the random RDJ shot, mostly just photos.
Castiel! Just walked into the barn. Man, I wish I could revisit the WTF of that and of Sam exorcising the demon and the Ruby reveal. I need to go read the watch and post for that.
"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition." And loved you ever since.
Must be that RDJ is the only one that James didn't think looked like a douche posing sexy. Except there's that Ian Somerholder(?) shot...
Does Ian Somerhalder
ever
not look like a douche, though? He always seems to be prissing it up for the camera.
I'd also toss Sam Worthington off the list, unless I were drunk and and in a mood.
RDJ made me weak in the knees. I should look again, though, since I was scrolling quick to find Misha and Jensen.
On rewatch, I think Castiel is a little more badass in these two episodes than he is later. Which is fine with me. "You should show me some respect" and Dean's lowered eyes and swallowing was made of win.
W&Ping inthread is kinda awkward for the West Coast because we have to unsubscribe while the East and middle bits of the country watch. Or just get totally spoiled. So it's not really that we don't want you to see our reactions, it's just logistical.
The genderfails for me were twofold: oversexualising female victims, and caving to fangirl aversion to regular female characters. But neither, obviously, enough to overcome my love for the show. And the women I like, I like a lot. Ellen and Mary and Pamela and Missouri rock. Meg, as played by Nikki Aycox was pretty cool too. Ruby, as played by Katie Cassidy, I kinda liked. But Ruby in general makes me all overprotective of Sam, so it's hard for me to appreciate her with any sort of sanity.
ita absolutely can speak for me on SPN and women from now on. Because this is precisely how I feel.
Okay, unsub time now.
