"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So, clearly I am all over SPN this season, and have enjoyed the hell out of rewatching earlier seasons. But I'm wondering whether I'm being clueless/culpable/whatever in glossing over the show's issues with gender and race.

Thoughts? Either in general, or in regard to current season?

Oh. my, indeed.

One funny thing, until I read Fays second to last post, I thought the screen said, "When God fails...."

Uh, oops? (Though I was thinking, "Wow, writers... ballsy!" Also, I am now wondering what that misread (twice, no less) says about me.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Holy Schnikes. There is excitement, interest, anticipation, dread and revulsion. Sometimes at the same time. Whitefonted promo quotes

"you have no idea"

Beverly, I may need some of that salt over here.

Oh god. I can't watch from where I am and I'm all torn about do I want to know what's causing such reactions. Oy. Oh boys.

Kneel before Glod. ~Stephen Colbert

Holy crap. And I thought the presidential campaign was stressful.

I think I saw Castiel punch out Uriel!

Yes, theories abound, and I wonder now which of my boys is doing God's will and which is the greater evil.

Damn, Kripke is good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, clearly I need to watch this promo. Or maybe I shouldn't so I am more surprised? A dilemma.

Anyway, I just got back from Push, and who should be in the first ten minutes but Sam Weechester! Yes, it's true, Colin Ford can now grow up to look like Jared Padalecki AND Chris Evans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn. I bet he can pull for school dances.

I didn't want you to feel ignored, Fay. Though others can speak better than I, because if you're on that train I'm a few rows back.

That being said, I think this season is doing better than last. (Wishful Thinking notwithstanding...)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Damn. I bet he can pull for school dances.

It's gonna depend. That freaky feral kid from The Road Warrior grew up hot, and Haley Joel Osment went from an angelic kid to a young man who looks like he's wearing a mask made out of an angelic kid's face. A lot can change during those awkward teenage years.

Ford does definitely have really good acting chops for his age, though.
