The Dean girls will flip when Castiel gets married off to Nathan Fillion in a later season.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty well Dean/Castiel (except they can never leave Sam--those people are crazy--Sam is #1), but I am very pro Castiel marrying just about any of Nathan Fillion's characters. Hell, even Caleb.

Because books.
Caleb? Now, now, let's not get crazy.
Dean listening to NPR alone was a treat, plus tie-flipping before digging into his salad. It's a Terrible Life had a lot of great moments.

I love that story! It's so cute.

I am surprised by all the times I've seen reviewers of the last episode ask "They died before? When?" I get that there might be an implication that there were more deaths they don't remember, but surely the reviewers were paying enough attention to notice the times they did actually die onscreen.
And, Amy, I've gotten further in the Hunt book--I liked your article! I had some problems with some of the others (I found a couple of them too precious in their approach), and one had a big error that totally ignored Sam was willing to sacrifice the virgin in Jus In Bello (HUGE point there). All in all, I'm glad I bought it. Interesting read, but I'm pondering saving the rest of it for after the season ends, when the pickings will be dry.

I just rewatched yesterday's episodes, because I ... wanted to. And the end of The Head of a Pin made me cry. DEAN. JA fucking rocked that scene.
It's not my finest work, ita -- I'm better at personal essays than stuff like that, plus I lose a lot of objectivity talking about Winchesters, but I'm glad you didn't hate it! The book has its ups and downs, but yeah, something to save for the dry days of hiatus.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's the Buffy and Angel? Ew! factor of viewers and reviewers who came to SPN in later seasons. The only backstory they have is the previouslies, and they really don't care so much what got the characters this far. Castiel has always been a major character, Mary always had Insp. Skinner as her dad and was raised a hunter, John has always been an irredeemable asshole, and neither brother has ever died before.
Even if they do pick up backstory, it's layered on top of present mytharc and hasn't been accrued from zero. It gives a different perspective.

They should be ashamed of themselves. Sam died just a few episodes ago. They could at least frame the question differently. I mean, if you're a viewer, it's one thing. But if you get paid to write a column, or otherwise purport to be some sort of authority, at least know you don't know.
