Lots and lots of SPN things!
Boy, I’m away from the computer for a day and a half and look what happens. :-)
First, there’s an interview with the author of the upcoming SPN tie-in book, Nevermore.
Then there’s a pic of the boys from episode 19.
And THEN there’s this freaking hysterical vid of the bloopers of Jensen and Jared doing their voice over thingys for the Channel Ten commericals. I love them to pieces!!
And last, but certainly not least,sen1995, dairwendan and tecetyeintyale– you guys ROCK. The great discussion you guys have going is too cool! It would take me pages of my own comments to reply back to all of yours, so let me sum up instead:
Ok, let’s start with Wendigo – heck, I didn’t have a problem with it, either. Loved the peanut M&M’s and Dean’s line about not wearing shorts. :-) But just in general, the brother moments were great, which makes it a winner in my book.
As for Jess and Ava and Madison and Sarah – I find myself in the Sarah camp (sorry, Deborah!) Not that I have anything against Jess, but of the four women, we got to know her the least – just a few scenes, whereas the other ladies had an entire episode. So there’s just more of everyone else to form an opinion on, IMO. I didn’t have a problem with any of these gals, but of them I thought Sam and Sarah just fit together better. But honestly? I don’t want to see Sam with anyone but Dean. And yes, you can take that in a gen or wincest way. ;-)
Let’s move on to Bugs – while the actual “bug” aspect of the episode was totally stupid, we get some GREAT brother moments in this, and more insight into Sam, Dean and John’s relationship. I always wonder why people are so quick to dismiss this episode – why they only remember the bugs and not all the family stuff. And really, how could I not like an episode where everyone mistakes Sam and Dean for a gay couple. [snerk]
Route 666 – certainly my least favorite of season 1. Only watched it a couple times. Butdairwendan, you summed up the ONLY reasons why I’ve watched it more than once.
Season 1 vs. Season 2 – yes, S2 has definitely moved me more than S1, as it should, really. In S1 you establish who the characters are, etc. and what motivates them, and in S2 you should start delving much more deeply into that, which S2 has. But sometimes S2 episodes are just painful to watch – in an emotional way, not plot wise. There is SO much angst in S2 I find it sometimes difficult to go back and rewatch them as many times as I have S1 episodes. Anyone agree with that?
And yes, I hated John until the last two episodes of S1 He’ll still never win Father of the Year from me, but now that he’s gone I do miss him, I hate the fact that the boys are now orphans, you know? And he gave his life to save one of his sons. That earns a gold star in my book.
Many thanks to those of you guys who commented with what you'd like to see happen in the remaining episodes of season 2 - I think some of them have a really good chance of happening!
Geez - only FIVE episodes left?? Where did the season go??

You got it in one, Barb!
I know - I didn't think that was possible either! Duchovny is certainly an angst expert - and you mentioned watching Return to Me this weekend, too - boy, that scene right inside the door, after his wife dies? Gets me every time. Like the scene toward the end of One Breath where Mulder is waiting in his apartment for the people he thought had taken Scully so he could kill them, then her sister comes and shames him into going to the hospital to be with Scully instead, and when he returns his apartment is trashed so he knows they actually showed up but he missed his chance to kill them and he just slides down the wall until he is crouched down with his arms hanging between his knees - OMG, gets me every time, too.
Speaking of Mulder and Dean - I found a video at youtube tonight that investigates whether Dean Winchester is really Fox Mulder, and is Sam in reality . . . a red-headed woman? It's great - you can see it here:

OMG! Deborah! This was BRILLIANT! You find the BEST stuff on YouTube on a consistant basis, you know that? :-)
I loved every single thing about this vid - she matched Dean and Mulder's and Sam and Dana's actions to a tee! (and I didn't remember that Ash was in both!) My mouth was hanging open in between laughing at the choices she used. Man, I love creative people like this. :-)
Thank you!!
