Which makes me laugh, because of how much Dean would hate most of my music

Yeah, I don't see Dean liking Gomez, Will Derryberry, Citzen Cope, or Matchbox 20. But maybe Sam would like it. Didn't they have Sam's iPod playing some country pop when Dean came back from hell?

But there's amazingly so many songs talking about endtimes and brothers and being tired... no other show has done this to me. Never wanted to vid Farscape or Buffy or Due South or Doctor Who, but Supernatural, that at times I have been apathetic to, keeps popping up in my playlists. There must be something primal about it that speaks to me like Life and Firefly did.

So, this archituethis guy, from what little there is to be gleaned, absolutely intrigues and fascinaes me. He's the guy I was talking about earlier that had disappeared from LJ back in 2009. I want to poke him and rave, but am also afraid that it's one of those instances of someone withdrawing themselves from the scene on purpose, or, more horribly, involuntarily.

Oh, and going back a bit before the SHOW! overwhelmed further discussion, I think the reason a couple of us recc'd his fic is because you recc'd Thursday's Child, and strangeandcharm recc'd it in her notes somewhere in her LJ.

And while I'm here, Morgana's post about Dean being Jim Morrison made me larf and larf. I love the dude, but so much Yes. I had a Tinkerbell Doctor moment, but with less motts. Especially with Castiel all but transferring his belief in his heavenly father to Dean. Because I'm still hopeful that this pans out in some strange way that isn't lame.

Well, male slash writer! I want to stare and stare and stare. And that's before you get to his actual authorial personality, which seems fascinating.

Castiel all but transferring his belief in his heavenly father to Dean

All but? He totally did. I think he switched them out before he found out God wasn't playing anymore. When he went against his garrison, I think he was firmly fixating on Dean as substitute leader, even though he still had freaky angel mojo. He's not an archangel. He needs a general. And that's the thing Dean has, why Sam who might be book smarter and bigger and stronger will keep looking at him first--because he knows how to give people orders.

Of course, his motivation can be compromised, but still. He's Daddy Winchester's good boy.

This is destina's post about "Two Minutes to Midnight." I'm not sure that I buy her analysis of how all Four Horsemen so neatly and conveniently played their parts in moving Dean and Sam towards their destinies; I think her view is a little too antiseptic. But it's worth looking at for the screencaps and pictures of the horsemen's rings and alchemy symbolism. It's an intriguing side issue to think about. She also talks about the use of color (I've read other meta posts about the continuing use of color throughout the show - the use of red, yellow, and blue, and so on).

Futoncritic sez:

"Supernatural" is heading to Friday nights as repeats of the series will follow "Smallville" at 9:00/8:00c starting May 28.

Said news comes on the heels of today's announcement that encores of the short-lived CBS drama "Moonlight" will assume "Supernatural's" regular Thursday, 9:00/8:00c time period on June 3.

The move will undoubtedly fuel speculation that "Supernatural" will permanently take residence there for its sixth season.

I'm just waiting for tvmerch to start marketing Horsemen's rings the way the Noble Collection hawked Barahir and Nenya. Thanks for the link, Morgana.

The color meta is interesting. I hope no one's attributing more import than is actually intended to the colors, but interviews with Serge Ladouceur indicate the color choices and use are deliberate and planned.

Well, they did miss some meta by recolouring the Horsemen, since pestilence was supposed to be in white horse, and death in pale.

Pestilence did have a white coat and Death was pretty pale. I'm stretching it too far, aren't I?

Didn't Death arrive in a white/cream-colored (meaning "pale") car?

Pestilence drove a pus-green, rusted out beater - probably an AMC station wagon or a Chrysler K series from the 70s. Death drove a white classic Cadillac in pristine condition. Famine's mode of transportation was two gas-guzzling Cadillac SUVs, while of course War drove the cherry red Mustang.

Gomez, Will Derryberry, Citzen Cope

OMG. I am my mother when she asked in a very Jewish lilt, "So what the hell is a Who??"

BTW, did anyone else catch the Herpexia poster at the beginning of last week's teaser?

I like the notion that it may be Michael/Adam delivering the beat-down to Dean rather than Sam. I'm okay with never seeing Adam after this. (I know nothing - I am uncharacteristically unspoiled for the finale.)

P.S. Anne, you'd better be prepared to speaketh on Monday. None of this I-was-too-tired-from-the-trip-to-watch nonsense.
