2nd Sneak Peek

I think it's a huge leap for an 8 year old to make. I can see him at that age making (and it's what I'd assumed) the leap of "You're here for me, he's not. I'm important to you."

I think Sam pretty clearly sees where John failed them (and perhaps exaggerates, depending on who you ask), but the eureka moment of the flip side of that--all of what Dean did to try and fill the gap (and I think it was a pretty good job, until Sam's unrest meant he had to leave), I still don't think I've seen onscreen.

From Dark Side of the Moon, I'm wondering how deep the line "I just never realized how long you've been cleaning up Dad's messes." goes.

I just think that he's more keyed into how abnormal their upbringing was, as opposed to how much Dean did to try and right that imbalance--even as Dean thought hunting was his only choice, and hoped Sam would want to do it too.

A lot of eye-opening happened recently. So he may very well have realised. I just want to hear it. I want to see the looks on their faces during the exchange. I will send flowers. Flowers for everyone.

That sneak peek is terribly tantalisingly short. But angst free, mostly, so that's cool.

None of what ita said, but I did get hit with a strong whiff of the meeting of the Black Thorn or whatever it was on Angel, near the end .

I love their faces, man. SHOW.

Man, I need to do an Angel rewatch. I totally didn't catch that, and I think you're very right.

I'm sure it all portends doom and gloom, just that, compared to some of what we've seen so far? Unicorn lollipops.

Sorry. Crackfic residue.

SHOW NIGHT.

I suddenly flashed on a fic where I think Sam was literally shooting rainbows out his ass. Um.

I can't remember if I said it here, but for those interested JDM is on the Craig Ferguson show tonight, 12:30 a.m. CBS.

Thanks Amy! Woot!

And the spoiler font has me very worried. Because I hated that. Fudge, now I'm in a bad mood.

::thinks about JDM on Craig Ferguson and feels better::

Maybe he will giggle.

Show tonight!!

Well, the good news is that my parents arrived. The better news is that I have a recorder so I don't have to be completely socially inept and order everyone's silence during SHOW. Still, if I post, it will probably be sneaking it from my phone.

Oh and tornadoes are also in the area.

Lucifer may be trying to keep me from Show, but I'm going to put up a good fight.

DVRs FTW!

My father visited me when I was unemployed and pretty much all I did was watch Criminal Minds and other gory procedurals. I know he was appalled, but he kept mum.

I absolutely cannot imagine what reaction he'd have if he had been forced to watch SPN over my shoulder. Much less see me react and IM.

I've been so fannish around my father that he's given me feedback on Mary Sue fanfic, but there are things he doesn't need to be witness to.

My dad doesn't get anything remotely scary or paranormal -- it's just not his thing. I doubt I could get him to sit through SPN. My mom totally would, but then she would natter away with questions and I would have to cut her, which would be unfortunate.

While she was recovering from a knee replacement years ago I tried to get her into Buffy, and she almost fell. Then she discovered Charmed on TNT and watched the whole freaking series. Sigh. She does know not to call Thursdays between 9 and 10, though.

Oh, and Theresa, JDM's last two visits to Craig have been hysterical. You can find them on YouTube. They flirt and goof -- last time they wound up improvising some ridiculous scene and had JDM sitting up on the back of his chair.
