SPN 2x22 AHBL part 2, again
May. 17th, 2007 11:45 pmMy "real" comments on the episode are here; under the cut is just emotional stuff, not analysis. ( self-indulgent fangirl stuff )
movie and tv
May. 4th, 2007 08:32 pmOMG! the Clay Theater is showing Buckaroo Banzai tonight at midnight! If only you were still here, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aceofkittens! I need see Buckaroo Banzai! Well, only if I were still capable of staying up to the small hours of the morning, too.
Eeee!

Speaking of "Eeee!" ( comments on the latest Supernatural episode )

I have no idea where this day has gone -- how can it be 4:30 already?

not dead, just lazy
Apr. 28th, 2007 03:57 pmI got to see last week's Supernatural with cofax7 and _minxy_ and a friend of hers (kres, maybe?) -- it was a great deal of fun, and I was very well behaved (I hope) until the promo for next week's episode, and which point I began to emit a high-pitched squeeing noise. I cannot wait. ( cut for spoilers for the promo )
In other news, fannish sociability was very nice -- we went up to the wine country to taste some good wine and eat some very good strawberries, then drove back into the city for dinner. Then this morning was the Ferry Building farmer's market -- I buy the food while my parents do tai chi -- although actually I find that market a little too much. And now I am just hanging out and waiting foraceofkittens to show up, for more sitting around and catching up.
It's a hard life, isn't it?

tonight's television
Feb. 15th, 2007 11:03 pmThank you to the people who wrote me valentines on svmadelyn's meme -- I don't make a fuss about that kind of thing (I mean, my husband forgot the holiday and I just laughed), but it means a lot. And no, I have not made a deal with the devil, although if he looked like... oh, never mind.
* * *
( spoilers for the end of tonight's Grey's Anatomy )
* * *
( incoherent laughter and exclamations relevant to tonight's SPN )
* * *
So I have Men in Trees on in the background and ( spoilers, again )
My television loves me tonight. That's all I can say.

Way back in December, I volunteered to do a meta for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_heavymeta on John in SPN 2x08, Crossroad Blues. Then I totally forgot about it, but I got an extension and so here it is.

A little more on SPN 2x14
Feb. 9th, 2007 10:31 amThis is mostly spec -- and I am pretty much entirely unspoiled, so please do not be spoiling me in comments. I don't care if I'm right or wrong, at least not right now.
( a little more about Born under a Bad Sign )

more "Houses of the Holy" thinking
Feb. 7th, 2007 08:41 pm...by other people, anyway. I have no thoughts of my own, but I did have a lot of open tabs. So here are some further comments on the episode:
hossgal talks about Religion in the SPNverse, on the Winchesters and their different ways of relating to the Deity. Both boys, I think, make the mistake of over-personalizing their struggles, of seeing redemption (or grace) as something which is escaping them, and them alone, instead of being part of the human condition.
marinarusalka talks about Sam, Dean and belief, which I love for this particular line: Dean is not the type to be impressed by talk of "mysterious ways" or "God's master plan." As far as he's concerned, if there's a Cosmic Good out there, it's not doing it's damn job. Unlike Sam, who's looking for a loving redeemer, Dean is looking for a fellow smiter of evil. And unlike Sam, who still hopes, Dean is pretty much resigned to having to do all the smiting himself. But he's not happy about it.
dodger_winslow has a post on Sam, Dean and the concept of the true believer. I'm not sure I understand it, but I haven't had much time to think about it.
rez_lo points out that the real issue isn't faith but error: the false comfort of easy judgment and its potentially deadly consequences; how important it is to read the signs correctly, to question orthodoxy of all kinds, examine and re-examine appearances and assumptions, to get the killing and dying right.
elishavah thinks about the difference between religion and Religion, and the way Sam and Dean's beliefs and backgrounds figure in the larger SPN universe.
The posts I mentioned back on Friday are also good, and there are interesting comments on all these posts, as well.

SPN 2x12: Night Shifter
Jan. 25th, 2007 11:18 pmSo I almost have thoughts about the larger structure of the episode, but there's mostly just the usual mess of commentary under the cut.
( spoilers under here )
Also, a totally appropriate icon!

SPN 2x09: Croatoan
Dec. 7th, 2006 11:14 pmNew SPN! Croatoan! ( spoilers and profanity )
And on a mostly unrelated note that I hope will amuse a handful of you, I leave you with the following thought, because I have been re-reading McKillip. John Winchester and Mathom of An -- separated at birth?

SPN 2x08: Crossroad Blues
Nov. 16th, 2006 11:05 pmI changed the channel just in time to see the ugliest ring in the world on Smallville. Enough of that. Let's go on to my preliminary comments on this week's SPN.
( Crossroad Blues )
Also, I have ER on in the background: has anyone else noticed that they're doing a subplot with Bloody Mary and children who fight demons? or something like that?
