I'm definitely selfish enough to want season 6. And unless it sucks, when it's coming to an end, I'll probably want season 7. But right now, that seems like asking for too much.

I still don't know how I feel about season six. I would be okay with May being the end of the series.

At the moment, given the emotional climate of the show, it seems like we're barrelling towards whole buckets full of doom and gloom for a season finale. If this would be the series finale I would fear a sendoff much like Angel, and I don't think my heart could withstand that. I'm too invested in the Winchesters. As much as I dread a dropoff in quality the same way we experienced it in seasons 6 and 7 of Buffy I would really like the time to see Sam and Dean smooth out some of the rough edges between them and regain their dysfunctional codependence.

I'm always going to want more Winchesters, and more JA and JP, but I just wouldn't want it to suck.

I've already forgotten every reservation I had about S6. Now I'm just picturing my summer spent panting for it.

I could actually deal with an Angel-like sendoff. People die but you keep fighting. Even with a gut wound. You want to slay the dragon.

I was hesitant about getting a S6 because Kripke always talked about a five-season arc. And I'd rather have less amazing tv (Firefly) than something ... else.

If they can do it well, I will want more. But I also believe that tv shows, like relationships, sometimes end and they should end with grace and not drunken, crying recriminations*.

*eta: I don't want drunken, crying recriminations as a viewer. The Winchester boys? Yeah, they're pretty when they cry. Especially when they've started the end of the world.

eta2: guT wound, not a guy wound. Though SPN is chock full of those as well.

Happy birthday, Amy!

I just found what's supposed to be the original pilot script. Is it a DVD extra? I haven't made it all the way through the first disk yet.

I feel like there is a script on there that I never looked at, but I'm not sure. All the extra features are on the last disc.

And thank you, ita!

"Angel or not, I will stab you in your face" could be one of my favorite lines ever. Oh, Dean.

I just re-watched The Benders and I was struck by how well casted the show is.

Everyone in that episode was fantastic, from officer Kathleen to Missy Bender and Pa Bender.

I wonder who does their casting because really they're yet another behind-the-scenes talent.

Also, I'd love Officer Kathleen to reappear one day. Jessica Steen is great!

The pilot we got is so much better than that script. I much prefer the history of the boys raised as hunters, rather than being raised by family and distrusting their father from afar.

I have to say, It's A Terrible Life is lovely eye candy. JP in short sleeves and JA in dress shirts and suspenders--delish. And at least something to smile about, a little.

In season 7 all evil has been vanquished and the boys open a pizza place.
