"I just can't do it, captain! I don't. have. the power!!"
So, after Supernatural, my roommate was like "Why don't we turn to the VP debate since it's still on." I complied. The second the channel changed, I went into full MST mode. I couldn't even stop it. Not to mention it was too BLOODY EASY!
So, we tune in and Biden's going. He starts talking about facts, and they're showing Palin looking through her notes. So, I start MSTing in Palin's voice, "Facts? What are those? Hmm. Let me look through my notes. We don't use facts. Maybe if I can say something strong enough, it'll sound like facts." And then she scratches her face (not her nose, though, which is a sign that a person's lying), which I took as a signal to someone to shoot Biden down because she was losing the debate. And then it's her turn to talk, and my mind is like "Do you really need me here? I'd rather not be here. Seriously, can I go to Gitmo while you watch this shit?" I give my mind a break and we pace a little into and out of the kitchen and my room. And then Palin talks continued bullshit. And really, her only arguments are smirking with her pitbull!lipstick and being like "John McCain is awesome. I'm a Washington outsider. I mock you Washington people, even though my running mate has been there longer than you guys and has had more time to be Washington-ified." And then she looks straight at the camera (totally not mugging, Sarah Palin is totally not a hollow camera mugger, you guys, totally not), and says "John McCain knows true evil." So of course without thinking, I utter "Yes he does. And he picked it for his running mate." And then I changed the channel. Because at that point, it was just too freaking easy. Just too easy. And my mind was all like "Rah!" So, I technically watched the VP debate, if anyone asks. I also technically only watched it for 7 minutes. The Wing episode of South Park is on, you guys. My mind is much happier here.
Now, onto the most important thing on TV tonight. Supernatural!
Spoiler-free commentary: Show's definitely back in its form, as opposed to some of the past couple of eps when sometimes it felt like it was just running normally but not in shape.
Spoiler comments behind the cut:
You killed Gramps and Gran. You bastard!
I am SO glad this storyline was not dropped. I was so worried the writer's strike threw everything off, but they got back on it. So now we know why Ruby was interested in why Sam's mom's friends were all dead. Though I'm still wondering about her doctor. That was the specific one mentioned when Sam was listing them off. Either that was throwaway or it will come into play.
So, Castiel sitting on Dean's bed. Watching him sleep. Because we totally weren't already slashing them. And by "we" I mean me. And anyone else who wants to stake claim.
Also, Castiel has the social interaction etiquette of Batman.
Speaking of crossing fandoms mentally, was anybody else expecting Dean to run into Sam Tyler? No? Just me? Fine. *pouts*
So, the whole dramatic irony of Mary wanting to be "safe" and get out of this was sad, but I guess I just see this technique in so many shows it gets old and has less of an effect on me. I think the more tragic part was why she made the deal in the first place: to save John's life. Considering all the shit that goes down as a result of this, especially what happens to John and why, god, I got chills. That was so damn sad. And they didn't explicitly discuss that, hence the differing from the dramatic irony bit.
I really can't reiterate enough how much Dean Wincester owns my heart. Oh, Dean, if I get to kiss you, you can have my soul in 10 years. You can have it 5, baby!/fangirl moment
I also liked how it was cleared up that Sam and the other kids were made special when the demon visited them. And not necessarily before. They were basically just of good stock, or something. Then again, I may have to retract that if I'm misunderstanding it. Did Azazel guarantee each person would have a kid in 10 years? Could he predict it, or was he just chancing it? It felt like he was just chancing it. And if Dean weren't born four years earlier, he'd have been in the same situation as Sam. That's how I took it, at least.
Is it wrong I wasn't bothered at all by the lack of Sam in this ep? Is it?
And just something random I noticed: they always give backstory and lore to the one-shot demons and stuff they fight, via mythology, religion, etc. But they never give backstory and the same treatment to the big baddies. Like, I hadn't heard of Azazel before, but anyone more versed in religion than I would have (thank you, Wikipedia!). And Lilith. Well, I've known about Lilith forever, and even other theology lightweights like myself would have had the flashers gone off. And they didn't even look her up. They would've found lots of stuff, not just musical festivals of unshaved female folk singers either. I was wondering specifically thinking of what they were planning to do with Lucifer, you know? I guess, with someone like Lilith and Lucifer, there are so many varied lores, I'd like to know which ones they're going with. Or if they're just making up their own and using the names in more of an allusion manner. Not saying it's a big deal. I'm totally cool with Lilith being the Bellatrix to Lucifer's Voldemort, but I'm curious. And these are the kinda things I like to know. /rambling
So, apologies to all, but this should be my last f-list spam for the day.
