A book meme, stolen from
riyirowe:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series'.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.
Note: since a LOT of my books are actually in boxes still, these are just ten books I own that happen to be

Anyway, the real reason I am posting (since I obviously have nothing to contribute to the meme) Supernatural!!!
So, I just watched Jump the Shark!!!! And omg! It was made of awesome. Well, the whole show is made of awesome, but this one in particular was made of win. Larping! The Prophet Chuck!! And and SLASH!!! AND AND AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I almost died.
THREE MORE EPS UNTIL I FINISH SEASON FOUR AND THEN WE START SEASON FIVE AND OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!
Okay...I'm good now. But I'm not! I am so very very worried about Sam and Dean! It is so hard for me to watch because every episode I keep expecting them to just be unable to handle it anymore and shatter into tiny little pieces! I just want to box them up and put them on a shelf were all the demons and angels can't get to them, and maybe they can go by the names Smith and Wesson and live together and be happy...but that isn't going to happen. It is strange, because once I start watching an ep, I am fine, it is just convincing myself that my life isn't going to end if bad things happen to them (and bad things are definitely going to happen to them). Okay. I shall stop ranting on your lj now.

AHAHA! Uhm, yeah, about that... :P The poor boys do kind of get put through the ringer, don't they? I think any sane human being would have broken. (I guess it's lucky that you can't really qualify these two as 'sane' in the strictest sense.) But I have to say, I love Chuck! XD
(PS: Feel free to geek out about SPN here ANY TIME YOU WANT. I am more than willing to join flails and/or entertain rants. :D)

Though that was one of the other things that I really liked about the episode with Chuck. You get to see a bit more of Sam's motivation. At least, what he is trying to convince himself is his motivation. He is trying to be the strong one for Dean. Trying to shoulder the burden so Dean doesn't have to. *sighs* My heart breaks for them.

The Jump the Shark ep is actually rather clever of the writers! If you look up the ep on the SPN fanwiki, it gives all these examples of how Team Kripke snuck in references and allusions to classic tv and sort of mocked themselves in the process. (It just makes me love them that much more! XD)

I liked that aspect of the Chuck ep, as well. Season four really focused so much on Dean, Sam ended up going a bit one-dimensional in parts. So it was great to see more depth to his character again.

But it is more than his hands, too. Especially at the beginning, he is such a giant woobie (I don't think I've heard/used that term since I was in the CSI fandom, wow)! I am always a sucker for inexplicable powers. And the nice boys who have horrible things happening to them. Not that Dean isn't a nice boy, but you don't get that at first. It takes a while for us, the viewers, to really see Dean, and who he really is. And Sam used to have a tendency to wear his heart on his sleeve. Not anymore though...damn Mystery Spot and damn Lilith. Though Azazel had his part in it, too, for killing him, which forced Dean to make a deal. Damn Yellow Eyed Demon. (But of course, then there wouldn't be a show, lol)

I have actually caught myself noticing Jared's shoulders in recent eps. Seriously, the man is BUILT - there's no denying that. I don't notice his hands so much as his shoulders and forearms, personally, but still - 'guh' is right! (Though, really, Jensen is nothing to scoff at. XD) I'm more drawn to Dean's snark than Sam's sweetness, tbh. I can't get enough of his smart mouth! (And I mean that in all ways... :P) Also, his scruff. (I have a thing for scruffy guys, apparently, because it's the same with Cas! YUM!)

Sam very much is a demon magnet...they stripped all the innocence away from him, and he hasn't figured out what is left, and there isn't anyone to help him either. Dean was in hell, and everyone else he had turned to in the past had died. The only one left was Bobby, and I can see him subconsciously thinking that it would be better to stay away.
Btw, what the hell ever happened to Ellen and Jo? I mean they kinda just dropped off the face of the earth after season two. They were both alive last I knew, but they aren't even mentioned after ABHL part 2.

Don't say anything spoiler-ish!

No freaking kidding! Ah well, I suppose that the whole 'married' thing means they'd be eye candy either way, for me... :P But what wonderful eye candy they are!
I think that Dean is closer to Bobby than Sam is. I mean, they both love him, and he loves them, but maybe Sam feels like he can't turn to Bobby without Dean there, or something. The only strictly Sam-Bobby interactions I've seen have always felt a bit stilted, on Sam's side. Also, by the time Dean was in hell, Ruby had already gotten to Sam; I'm sure she didn't do much to encourage him to seek out the company of other hunters or especially Bobby, who never made a secret of how much he hated her.
I love Ellen, so much! (And Jo was also awesome, before they screwed her up. I wish they hadn't done that - she went from being kickass in a normal, human way, to being kind of useless.)
