Upending the Hunter’s Ethos: Reversed and Upside Down Shots in “Sin City” (3x04)

A little post-turkey meta.

This is late. Sorry. Meta hasn’t been coming so easily lately, which is strange because I thought writer’s block was reserved for fiction. *doublepalmface* But because we don’t have an episode prompt entry for 3x04, I thought I should do one, and this was such a mytharc-juicy episode that it deserves to be talked about

I may have figured out Blue, which is also leading me to thinky thoughts about the role of Good and God in the SPN-verse.

Oh, excellent! :)

you (uh... I think it was you.. was it you?) told me once that Blue moderates the effects of the combination of Red and Yellow

I'm not sure if I said "moderate" (but I could be wrong), but red and cyan are complimentary colors as are yellow and blue. Using complimentary colors together helps create visual contrast, which can be useful when highlighting opposites (heh ... warm colors = evil/demons and cool colors = good/God? Nice.) or making certain (conspiciously colored) things in a scene pop out. Maybe that's what you mean (or I meant) by "moderate"?

Here's a neat little website that shows color harmonies if you're interested:

Hope that helps a little. If you need someone to bounce ideas off of I'm always around. :) I look forward to reading your meta when you have it finished. :)
