YES! YES! JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST...I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!
Gordon!!! How good to see that you're alive and still juicing your hard-on for Sammy during your unfortunate incarceration. You give cold-dead-eye stare like nobody's business, my friend. Zealot: such a non-guttural, non-Anglo Saxon word. Still, you rock for standing in solidarity with the Winchester boys in bucking that "To be a hunter you must be this tall and bearded in flannel" thing.

The Weakness in Me
Dear Kripke & Co - I don't have issue with Wincest. Some of my best friends are Wincesters. But I think you're outdoing yourselves when even my husband is making fan-girly snickers at lines like, "She knows what your weakness is. It's me." Yes, Dean, you're his Kryptonite. But if he goes crazy, will you still call him Superman? Oh, wait...after that third act I think you can start your own Justice League. Can I be Gleek? (No, I'm not stoned. Just...monkeys! Blue ones!)

Your anagrams are showing, doctor
Sorry, I can't see self-storage units without going all Jodie Foster. Edlund, wasn't that the elevator from Season One "Angel"? Although this one seemed to be powered by other than lethargic squirrels. But I digress. Wow. John's clubhouse is kind of scary. John's keeping Dean's 'My First Sawed-Off With A Compass in the Stock and This Thing Which Tells Time' and Sam's soccer trophy was all kinds of "Aw, Papa!" goodness, but was it just me that thought Sam's trophy was kind of wee for a Division Championship? I thought it was a bowling trophy at first. This could be because my 1988 cheerleading trophy for participation is 2 1/2 feet tall (counting the pom poms on top) but maybe that's an Oklahoma (and 80s) thing. Since it lead to Dean's "Probably the closest you ever came to being a boy," I'll smile in emasculation joy and go on.

In fact it was a little bit frightening, but they fought with expert timing
I had to resort to puppy eyes (despite my eye-rolly eyes that accompany that phrase) to get

elcazavampiros to watch this ep with me. (He can DVR and let it sit for a few days, whereas I'm all "It's Thursday! It's Thursday! Hi-ni-niney and a ha-cha-cha!") But during that 'You stole my Daddy's rabbit's foot - prepare to die' fight, even Caza had to admit all kinds of awesome was ensuing.

Nice tension with Thief-and-Scumbag Guy #1 and ego tripping over the beer bottle at the sink bit. And Ha, Sunnydale Police - I think sometimes you're seeing vampires where there are just barbecue forks. Also - ewww.

No One Can Save Us From Bela the Waitress
You know what my favorite restaurant is? Furr's Cafeteria. Why? A buffet is always yes, I love pie, and I'm also always the youngest customer by a good three decades. I love that Dean shares that with me. Caza did comment on the fact that Biggerson's web master was johnny-on-the-spot in getting that pic of Sam and Dean on their site, but c'mon, the faster they get the pic uploaded, the sooner they can get their sweet Sam'n'Dean manips going.

The second the camera zoomed in on Bela's 'I Know What Boys Like' ass, I immediately thought of Bill Murray's line from Scrooged: "Did our people do that? We're gonna get letters." But as

adis723 remarked, it was a POV shot, not femsploitation. Sam and Dean were definitely pointed and viewing on that ass. I mean, it's not like they freeze framed their DVR on Dean's crotch and then fumbled the remote around for 15 minutes trying to figure out how to work the zoom function. In other words, let she with a free hand cast the first stone.

I may have rewound Sam's pratfall three times. Obviously, ending up on all fours is not a shared Winchester trait. Ouch. "I lost my shoe!" *dies* I have nothing clever here, other than, shouldn't Dean have made Sam walk in front of him? Why does Sam always have to bring up the rear? Discuss.

Ciao, Bela
That apartment was *sweet* Nice set dec, team. (Whereas the ubiquitous motel felt like same room, different filter.) Dean's little "Turn Around" note was hot. (I love that he always has a Sharpie - one never knows when James Hetfield will be signing body parts.) Also, thank you, production staff, for alerting me when Dean arrived in Queens. I had no idea from the previous dialogue and the establishing shot. I liked Bela. Not with the fangirl fervor I'd hoped to (she's brunette and British, I have simple tastes) but her boots were regulation and she didn't hold her gun like a sissy-girl.

Oh and random - thank you, Dean, for working in a casual reveal of Ruby's name so that I don't have to keep typing Blonde-Girl to stay spoiler-free.

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger - That my best friend was born in a manger
That was the cutest nose scratch in the history of nose scratches. Not just because I made a random 'staples are itchy' comment regarding Jared Padalecki's Alleged Nose Job, or J-PANJ for short. I freaked when Sam attempted to smother the air conditioner fire with the bedspread, because as the victim of one too many drunken college nights in cheap motels combining cigarettes and highly flammable southwestern print polyester, I can tell you that it is NOT a good combination.

I know I will see a million "I'm Batman" Dean icons. I'm not at all saddened by that fact.

The DC-Talk Hunter was cracking me up. As a (twice-baptized, don't you know) Bapti-Costal, I've seen many a frightening Velvet Jesus in my day, but that one was the PASSION and the FURY. Nice. And he even overzealoused Gordon! Super sweet!

But the moment Ben Edlund absolutely won my heart (well, he did that with Smile Time, but c'mon - puppets) was the "Oh, Dean!"-ness of Dean's initial "I can read people," speech to Thief-and-Scumbag #2 and then spinning that into shtick for Bela. That was truly Jossian and breathtaking in its taking of the piss.

Only one nit to pick: 'Sup with the music? Where's my Sabbath, Bad Company, Aerosmith, ELO? (Oh, ELO would rock!) Was there a delegation and the Old Satin Trousers Brigade ran up the licensing fee once they realized that there was a market for "Black Betty"? C'mon, music editor, we need to keep fourteen year-olds in their Kansas ringtones so that their parents can feel freakin' old!

Random: Could anyone tell what kind of car Bela was driving? I still want to write my Ruby/Bela fic - portmanteau: Rubella - (despite last week's Ruby reveal Kripke-ing that all to hell) and it involves car-sex. So...yeah.

I, um, might like this show.

BBQ forks! The homage, it runneth over. eth. I'm not ashamed that I started giggling the minute he put in the dishrack and what flat out guffawing when the panned back to bloody tines sticking out of his mouth (he deserved to die btw, 'cause seriously? My momma taught me that sharp object must point downward)

Why does Sam always have to bring up the rear? Discuss.

He's the tall one. He's darker haired. Please see QaF canon and fanon for trope cementation.

(he deserved to die btw, 'cause seriously? My momma taught me that sharp object must point downward) I know, right? Like, you're reaching over the dishrack to get a glass out of the ~~cupboard~~ cabinet and you get nailed in the elbow by mis-drained paring knife. Tsk, tsk.

He *is* tall. And dark-haired. And we know he has a habit of gitting to places before 'Dean' can git there, so he should be okay. However, lucky rabbit's foot or not, he should *not* having been standing in the strada street outside Biggersons. It was bad for my peace of mind, having re-watched both Mean Girls and Cruel Intentions this week. Stand in street = bus and/or taxi go smash.

I feel all keyed-up and giggly.

Stand in street = bus and/or taxi go smash.

*nods* But I'm proud of them for not playing the gag of it. Oh, Edlund. Please to be writing more and more and more, kthnx.

p.s. Until I have a better j2 icon I will always use this one in response to your Blush & Bashful icon and pretend Jensen is wearing Jared's shirt.

Dude, where's the nose wank????

and pretend Jensen is wearing Jared's shirt how very Kane/Boreanaz of them.

I want more Ben Edlund. I want more clumsy Sam. I like Dean.

I think our Nose Theory is too inexplicable to incite wank. You need to do the before and after pics.

how very Kane/Boreanaz of them.

Or very Xander/Brian Kinney of them. One day I will test out my X/B shirt theory.

Also? Dean.

Yes, where is the music? And I'm glad this ep got at least a little bit of the shadow/light thing back. The first two eps seemed to be far too light. And i miss the music.

damn, now i'm watching the commercial-free finale of Mad Men, and so cannot, i feel, properly express my squee, but. Dean! with the shtick! Yes, that was awesome.

And i loved how one man's bad luck is another man's good, and the question of: is it God or a rabbit's foot? Is Jesus just a big furry foot? Hm.

And Gordon! He can haz minions. I am very excited to see him.

Why does Bobby get to know all about john's locker but the boys don't? and is it me, or are they going to start villifying John now that he's out of the picture? Bela's line about sociopathic hunters + landmines in secret rooms = I am suspicious.

But he kept the trophy! and it's the closest Sam ever came to being a real boy. Yes. I loved it.

Why does Bela live in Queens if she's so rich? Is it to stay lopro? although i do enjoy her decorating sense. I look forward to seeing her again.

and in conclusion: SQUEE. My show! Those boys are so pretty.

And I'm glad this ep got at least a little bit of the shadow/light thing back Totally agreed. I liked the brightness for "The Kids Are Alright," but I'm glad to see some of the gloom coming back. And I know they needed more of a budget for 3.02 for effects so the music had to be shelved, but where was the soundtrack for this ep?

It's the "Mad Men" finale?? I have it DVR'd and was going to watch it tomorrow. Hmm...it's Fall Break. I'll just stay up late tonight.

is it God or a rabbit's foot? Is Jesus just a big furry foot? Hm. I liked that, too. (Strangely because it works with the Fate or God paper I'm writing at the moment.)

I didn't feel vilification of John, necessarily, but it does make me wonder at how much Bobby still has the boys in the dark over.

Why does Bela live in Queens if she's so rich? Is it to stay lopro? Hee! Maybe she did the whole globe spinning 'where does a queen live' thing from Coming to America when she came across the pond?

I second your SQUEE and add a shimmy of Thursday happiness.

Yes! Tonight is the finale, I think you must stay up and watch!

Maybe she did the whole globe spinning 'where does a queen live' thing from Coming to America when she came across the pond? hee! That must be it!

and I'd noticed a couple of shout-outs to Buffy, as well. The onion blossom reference! *facepalm*

Ohh, and a paper on fate or God? neat! Is it in reference to medieval literature, or is it for a different class?

I didn't even think about the onion blossom (they're brilliant)! I was too busy giggling over the barbecue fork (oh, poor Joyce! "We don't even own a barbecue fork!")

Fate or God is for my Chaucer class - The Knight's Tale. I may have to reference SPN. :)

I think you chould absolutely reference SPN in your paper. Chaucer's nothing but SPN before electricity. Fate or God in The Knight's Tale sounds like a seriously interesting topic.

and omg, Sue! The finale of Mad Men? 0_o

So. Awesome. I love Pete Campbell. I just do. And Draper. Oh man. oh man oh man.

OMG! The finale! Oh, Draper!!! And dude - the Peggy thing? I had a RL friend who did that. NO LIE. I will have to share this story with fandom someday. I can't decide if I want to shake Pete or give him a hug.

Pete! yes. He's such a brat!

and wait, which part of Peggy's thing did your friend do? I don't want to put any spoilers here, but... was it the first part of the ep, or the second part?

I think I need a Mad Men icon.

RE: Peggy - the second part of the ep. The big shocker. Yeah. Totally had a friend who did that. I'd love to share the deets because GREAT STORY but yeah, spoilers. I may have to email you because TRUE STORY.

I so need a Mad Men icon but I'm still shagged out from my extended Gilmore Girls icon search of last week. New fandoms are hard. Plus,

adis723 doesn't watch Mad Men so I can't con her into making one for me. :(

OMG. For reals? Whoah. Yeah, maybe not spoiler it here, but.... whoah.

And Yes! man, finding a new fandom's icon repository. It is hard. Especially if you're like me, and depend on like, two people to make all of your icons. *g* i think i need to make

apreludetoanend start watching Mad Men too.

it's my show, sue.

And what a show it is, Danny!

Still, you rock for standing in solidarity with the Winchester boys in bucking that "To be a hunter you must be this tall and bearded in flannel" thing.

I jumped for joy (side note, please don't ever do that on a treadmill, bad things happen) when I saw Gordon. I love Gordon. I love him particularly because at the end he was pretty much "all I have is a crazy man. Let's forget about the irony of my own obsessions, because those are logical and thought out. What sits before me right now, though, is a whack job. Dammit! But, still, if crazy is all I got, it's still gonna get me the hell out of here."

Also, the actor who plays Gordon? Is freaking beautiful. Andrea doth sit up and take notice (again. Kids, don't do this on a treadmill).

I adore Edlund. Not just for smile time, but because his humor is consistently hysterical without being pure slap-stick, with a level of darkness that just makes it work. He wrote an actual honest-to-god episode: smart, pointed, layered. The fact that it was funny was honestly a bonus; I've seen stuff like this that's cheesy as hell. The only cheese there was the cheese he wanted, and did I mention the dark? I love that. I loved it especially because I freaked out during the bottle scene -- until I saw the fork. At that point? I was dying with laughter because hello, can we say homage?

Dear Ben: I would have your babies. Call me, for serious. I'm in the book!

Sam doing his ultimate mournful puppy-dog is as close as he's ever come to winning me over. That was -- freaking adorable. (note, to everyone not Sue or Vinnie reading this: I know Jared is an excellent actor, I do; a lesser actor could not pull this off. Still don't like Sam, though)

I. May need an 'I'm batman' Dean icon. Because, well, he is. Only snarkier and with more joy :)

Have I mentioned I love Dean? I freaking love Dean.

God, if more episodes were like this, I might actually love this show instead of just like it. This was great.

Hi, I'm rambly in the morning. Sorry I didn't call you back, I was in the middle of watching SPN when you called, and by then I'd fallen off the treadmill (twice! I win!) so ice and sleep were pretty much the only things in my future.

DO NOT JUMP ON TREADMILL!!! Eeeek! But, still, if crazy is all I got, it's still gonna get me the hell out of here Yes!!!! Hi, Gordon!!!

There isn't a single 'funny' episode of BtVS or AtS that I don't like (you know this about me, and we've shared my "Beer Bad" love) so I can usually get behind the funny ("Tall Tales" and "Hollywood Babylon" are two of my favorites, but I've read around in fandom - both this one and Buffyverse - to know I'm usually alone there) so I could have taken pure cheese (nothing but Sam getting his feet stuck in things? Yes, please.) But that they layered it so and had the Gordon mixed in and the bit with "the things they carried" from John - that was nice.

I freaking love Dean. I love how well he sold throwing that pen into the gun. I also loved Sam's "Yes. You're Batman." Heh. Only snarkier and with more joy :) Yes!!!

You can ramble! I just called to say, "Eeeeeee! Show!" and you've pretty much read what I had to say. Stay on that treadmill!!! *loves*

You pretty much said everything I think about this episode, except funnier and with more pop culture references than I can manage. LOL

How much do I love Gordon? All the way down to the tips of his psychopathic toes. You know when Gordon Walker's doing the nutjob eyeroll that crazy Jesus dude is seriously on the fringe. As if the decor in his RV wasn't a big enough clue.

Sam falling down ALL THE TIME is awesome. That second time when he falls down behind the couch and when he gets up he has tears in his eyes? *loves* Kiss it better, Dean? Also, that shot of him sitting in the chair and watching the airconditioner spark where you can visibly see him weighing the merits of getting up vs staying in the chair--I thought I would lose it.

Fave line: You went all spastic and knocked yourself out. *g*

I just counted and in a ep recap of just over 1000 words, there are 22 unique pop culture references unrelated to said show. *sigh* I need a life.

Dude! Gordon's reaction to Mr. "On a Mission From God" was fantastic. That second time when he falls down behind the couch and when he gets up he has tears in his eyes? YES!!! I loved how he made himself seem smaller when he lost his shoe. The expression on his face during that whole air conditioner bit was amazing.

You went all spastic and knocked yourself out. Heeee!!! My favorite line has still got to be Dean repeating, "I read people...you're a thief and a scumbag..."

Gods I love this show. And SGA comes on tonight and I may or may not have read a whole bunch of spoilers and be dying to see it already!!!!

Also, in non-fannish news, last night I was putting up groceries and a can of Manwich (Because We're Poor TM) fell off the top shelf of the cabinet and onto my hand and I AM IN PAIN! The kind of pain that makes Sam scrunch up his brow and flare his nostrils.

Caza is watching SGA but despite his and

ladycat777's best efforts, I don't keep up with it. (Other than to reiterate that thigh holsters are HOT.)

Ouch - I'm wincing in pain and flaring nostrils for you. But hey - Manwiches are a meal. I'm a fan of the BBQ flavor, but Caza's an Original flavor man. We are also poor but tend to be a Tuna Helper family. You don't have to desecrate a grave with your ouchie hand, though, right? *gives you juice and cookies*

You don't have to desecrate a grave with your ouchie hand, though, right?

Only because I want to. Not because I have to.

I must admit I have an inordinate fondness for Manwich. Tuna Helper I have never liked, but Josh does. Actually, my favorite we're poor meal is dal because lentils are so so so cheap.

Only because I want to. Not because I have to. *adores you*

Damn our poorness and the states that keep us from fangirling and drinking cheap beer in person. *cries*

I, um, might like this show.

Um...yeah...I guess I'll give it a few more views.

Like a BILLION times infinity more!!!!!

^_^

*hugs liek whoa*

Like a BILLION times infinity more!!!!! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

*dances you around in fannish glee*

Btw, I get tons of comments on the awesomeness of this icon. You're the greatest, baby!

Thank-you doll!
I've been lax in my icon making...perhaps the perfection of this last ep will motivate me.
*crosses fingers*

I only liked two things about the entire episode: I'm batman, and John's storage room. Seriously. That was it. I'm not about to post that in my lj either.

Really??? This was so my kind of episode. From the moment that gun flew back into Sam's hand, I was so there. But I tend to lean toward the funny eps, regardless of fandom. (I was shocked to find out how few of my fellow fen shared my love of "The Girl in Question" at the height of my AtS love.) But nothing beats John's storage room. You share whatever you need to here, baby! I'm like a library - A Safe Place. :)

I know you are darling and immediately confessed in my own LJ. Seriously, I'm the worst SPN fangirl in the world.

This show is just...it's what QaF used to be for me. My crack show. With sadly less sex and no Brian Kinney. Whatsoever.

Oh! You finished the Brian/Lex!!! *bookmarks*

I did! I really, really did. And I personally think the ending is fucking hilarious and crack myself up every time I read it.

Randomly? I'm snickering at your section headers. Hee!

I mean, it's not like they freeze framed their DVR on Dean's crotch and then fumbled the remote around for 15 minutes trying to figure out how to work the zoom function. In other words, let she with a free hand cast the first stone.

So, just for scientific purposes, where would such a scene be? ;)

I'm so very random. I had "Jesus Freak" stuck in my head, and then I went everywhere from "The Blues Brothers" to Billy Dee Williams in "Mahogany."

Hee - my failed experiment with the zoom function was the scene in "Hollywood Babylon" right after the "Why would ghosts be scared of salt?" bit and right as Sam walks over to head-set wearing Dean and says, "I thought you hated being a P.A.?" Dean looks down (ostensibly) to check out his rockin' tool belt, and we are gifted with at least a 30 second shot of Jensen's crotch. I was never able to get the zoom to zoom-zoom-zoom, but it's still a nice shot. (My research project with slow-mo during the bed-wrestle from "Tall Tales" was much more successful. All in the name of science.)

Hee! Yay for science. And nice long shots.
