Oh, excellent, thanks. I try to click on commenters', etc names to see if they write fic, but somehow I missed her. That should keep me going a while.

Ah! Cold Case closed out with The Weight last night. I think I'm hearing a different version from the one they intended. Messing with the visuals too.

I've been trolling the LJ comms for new fics. I can automatically skip the ones that don't appeal to me (I'm not a wee!Chester or high school 'verse, pre Stanford setting fan, for instance). I don't care for Dean/Castiel, which automatically cuts out about half of all the new fics being writen (I suppose I prefer my angelic beings powerful and mysterious but relatively sexless). What I'm amazed by is the amount of Sam/Gabriel fic out there. Gabriel! He tortured Sam by killing Dean in front of him on a daily basis for months (not to mention he killed Dean! and then then left him alone for another 3 or 4 months. He toyed with the brothers in really cruel ways. How do people get slashfic out of that?

I can only read the Sam/Gabriel crackfic. Anything remotely serious is beyond my ken. I found one where Gabriel was harassing Sam by sending him endless texts and it was goofy and OOC but really funny. Mostly I stay away. eta: That's why I can't read Bela/anyone unless it's REALLY angry sex, She SHOT SAMMMY. Sho doesn't get to hit that. Den/Henricksen makes more sense.
Luckily I like Weechesters and the high school stuff and D/C, but a lot of the latter is written like crap. It's a dodgy line, and I'm not sure precisely what Castiel I will accept, but I back out of those pretty often.
Man, I just read an untagged deathfic...for the Impala. Bastards.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Or like dry-aged heal them?
Plei, you are ruining both fic and dinner.
Wow, I just caught up with a lot of posts...
Well, the Whore of Babylon is a Biblical figure.
I was thinking more of the --on a good day, you kill a whore.
I had *thoughts* about this when I watched and I haven't typed them all out in one place, but
The "whore" stuff--on another show, maybe it would have gone down easier, but SPN has its rep. Every time the term was used without "of Babylon" it kinda stood out.
Or what ita points out.
If only they had just had Dean say "and sometimes you get to kill The Whore of Babylon" and changed one or two of the other A whores to the whores. It's only a small change, but it would have made a HUGE difference.
Oh! What Perkins said.
Superhero!kid who took himself off wherever.
That is the only ep from this season that is saved on my dvr. I can't tell how that gun is going to go off in the third act but I love rewatching Good Omens fanfic.

Dean delivers this very flatly, and Leah herself was played completely unsexually. It's like everyone looked at the writers and went "Really? Whore? Okay, they're your words."

For *me*, all they had to change was "a whore" to "The Whore" and then you're just talking biblical and not pissing off some fangirls just because you can.
Personally, I rolled my eyes and just knew I'd be skipping a lot of the internet. But I wasn't OMG, THE MISOGYNY horrified. I just thought it was either weak or pissy of the writer.

Yeah, it was very much the words, and they could have been altered so slightly. The actors didn't seem to run with it.

Oooh I'm so interested in CM crossovers. Ever since someone around here (I'm sorry I don't remember who) mentioned that the CM ep with the hunting brothers was very much like SPN I can't get the parallels out of my head.
Now, I see them all the time. I think my love for both shows is similar too, in that it's predicated on the dysfunctional relationships. The more dysfunctional the more love I feel.
I feel like an internet n00b but what's AO3?

AO3=Archive Of Our Own. It's a community-built fanworks archive. It has a lot of tagging functionality, so if people play nice, it's easy to sift out stuff for your particular predilection. I'm not sure how well-used it is. It's not as pervasive as something like fanfiction.net, but I'd never go trolling ff.net for fic, because ouch.
ehab, you're right about that ep having those brothers raised Winchester-like, but wrong. Interesting.
