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.

I was thinking more of the --on a good day, you kill a whore.

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.

I know we already rewatched the whole series so far, but I'm home every day and have no reason not to watch the pretty again. (And again. I'm sure you're all shocked.) And in Skin, it really strikes me how gorgeous how Dean is in a T-shirt. Why why do they insist on the layers and the long sleeves all the time?

Don't objectify him.

::pauses, waits to be struck by lightning::

Right! God is off duty. So I'm safe.

Snerk.

I'm wondering (really only to satisfy my curiosity) why AO3 was created in addition to the already existing and heavily tag focused delicious? I haven't really used either one so I have no idea what subtilties I'm missing.

I am struck by the sheer volume of SPN fanfic sometimes. It boggles the brain. There are some very talented writers in amongst the dross.

I'm into S2 on rewatch and loving it. Sam seems so "healthy" vs. deeply damaged Dean. It makes me sad that they really seem to be backsliding. Sad in a love/hate kind of way.
