Sneak peek #2

I wonder how long I'll be able to hold out for this one. I wonder if there's even a point.

I have just finished "Eat it, Twilight!" and it was fantastic. I really enjoyed this story immensely.

I think the appeal of the CM/SPN crossover is in the tropes they have: 1. BAU thinks they're dealing with a serial killer, they're not, 2. BAU thinks Sam and Dean are serial killers and all the awesome outsider POV that goes with this, and 3. Sam and Dean educate/charm/help the BAU with their case.

Sigh it's a crossover match made in heaven for me.

I love the "now that I've looked at the files in detail, it seems Henricksen never noticed the crimes start before they show up" and also "the escalation pattern makes no sense--these crimes and the victimology are all over the place."

I've bumped into a couple NUMB3RS crossovers, and they jump through the same hoops.

Even though they are the same hoops, I do like the outsider POV that comes with it.

Okay, that resolve didn't last long.

Watched the second sneak peek. Cried.

I'm totally on the edge of my seat for Thursday. Whetted.

Totally want a Medium/SPN crossover.

Watched.

::bounce::

I know this finale is going to be fraught. I think that's why I decided to go ahead and just watch the damned clip. To dissipate the tension. If I can get some of the emotional reaction done now, then I can pay more actual attention during the episode itself. But that last clip is a true teaser, because no matter what you're feeling during it, you know it cuts off before the real emotional payoff.

Toronto Sun interview with JA

I found this interesting:

“I was just talking to Josh Jackson (currently of Fringe) who did six years on Dawson’s Creek,” Ackles said. “He goes, ‘You are moving into your sixth season (on Supernatural), aren’t you?’ And I did the sixth season of Dawson’s Creek with him.

“I said, ‘I remember you guys (on Dawson’s Creek) were just champing at the bit to get out of there.’ He said, ‘Yeah — are you about ready to be done?’

“And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not, actually.’ ”

I tell you what, in my own personal opinion, which is worth exactly jack squat, I think those actors have very different career goals. JP wants to be a name, a Hollywood actor, something of a celebrity.

I think JA wants job security. He likes the family feeling of the SPN-Vancouver set, and he's learning a lot of behind-the-scenes technical stuff with an eye to moving behind the camera. The whole eye of the public thing is something he does because it's part of the job. I think JP eats it up, enjoys working a room, and would miss being in the spotlight.

As I said, opinion only, based on interviews and observation.
