When you see this on your flist quote Supernatural:
Awkward.
I watched Supernatural tonight on tv as it was actually being broadcast, and I'm not sure, but I think this is the first time this season that I've done that. So I wanted to make
one of those spoilery "please-excuse-my-squeeing-while-I-attempt-to-incorporate-new-canon-into-my-worldview" posts.
I don't much care for heavy mytharc; I much prefer the MotWs. And I especially love the silly eps. Still, though, I might have wished Hollywood Babylon to be just a little less cheesy, and a little more scary. But so what, I still enjoyed it.
It was so very very meta! They must have had a blast coming up with this one. Gilmore Girls. Practically Canadian. The in-show trailer, and I can't wait to find out what all the fine print says. Did I hear her say that Boogeyman had a terrible script? Heh.
Dean, you are such a glutton. And you are such a FANBOY.
I've been trying to keep myself spoiler-free for the past couple of months, even to the point where I refrained from reading the episode's title and summary until just a couple hours before it aired. And now I wish that I'd spared myself even that much; I think I might've enjoyed it more had I gone in completely fresh.
Well, after the show went off but before I could hit the power button -- (I was dazed! I was trying to bask in the afterglow!) -- I accidentally saw a second of next week's preview. But when my brain processed what I'd seen, it threw everything out the window and said WAIT! Forget that! I want to seeeee! So there commenced a frantic battle between my brain and my trigger finger, during which the tv got turned off and on three times, and I managed to see a total of about five frames of the preview.
See, this is the exact same reason you don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, and you don't wait until the second round to pick a designated driver.
But what I really want to say is that I am deeply impressed by the care with which SPN fandom handles spoiler warnings. I'm pretty amazed at how much control I've been able to have over my own spoiledness. I really appreciate it, thank you!
