202: Hurt/Comfort, Vid Style

Feb 15, 2010 20:55

I keep a list of vids I want to rec, divided into three main categories: Dark, Neutral, and Lighter. (There are also a lot of minor categories, like LOL Animation and OMG Pairings. This is why it takes me so long to rec things: I have to translate my notes into English. Anyway.) The idea behind this was to keep all the vids in a given set roughly ( Read more... )

dollhouse, twilight, vids, mythbusters, supernatural

Who's that girl? laughingacademy February 16 2010, 06:15:57 UTC

The young blond in the first vid is Jo Harvelle, a character introduced in the second season of Supernatural. Jo and her mother, Ellen (the older, auburn-haired woman), owned and ran Harvelle's Roadhouse, a Hunter hang-out. Jo's father was a Hunter who had died years earlier working with John Winchester. Jo wanted to follow in his footsteps, over her mother's strong objections. The Roadhouse was destroyed at the end of season 2 and the Harvelles disappeared from the show for a while, only to resurface near the start of the current season.

Personally, I think it's a shame we didn't get to see more of them, but their final episode (assuming they don't return as ghosts or something) was one of the show's high points in terms of writing and acting.

Which episode was their final episode?

And you mean final as in the coffin kind of final?

Alriiight :D

How did the fandom react? (I've been out a while...)

I cried, and then remembered that the only non-dead non-evil named female character to appear in multiple episodes is now Becky the Wincesting Fangirl, and then I started sharpening my knives.

LOL, maybe she will die a gruesome death sometime?

Re: Who's that girl? laughingacademy February 16 2010, 06:29:25 UTC

We last saw the Harvelles in ep. 5x10, "Abandon All Hope." The vid thefourthvine is reccing in this post makes their fate pretty clear.

Thank you!

And, huh. So there's a whole Hunter community? Do they have message boards and password-protected websites about demons and so on? *curious*

Re: Who's that girl? laughingacademy February 16 2010, 06:51:46 UTC

We've met a few other Hunters, but aside from Bobby Singer (who is made of win and awesome) most have been one-shot characters and/or total whackjobs.

There is a Hunter grapevine of sorts, but it seems to operate largely through phonecalls, postcards and word of mouth. There used to be a character, Ash, who was a mulleted redneck programming genius with a knack for digging up and correlating useful data, and the Winchesters are forever using their cellphones and laptops, but I don't think there's a central repository or clearinghouse of Hunter info, in either cyber- or actual space. The closest thing I can think of is Bobby's enormous ramshackle house, which features hundreds of books on the supernatural and a bank of phones.

Oh, almost forgot -- there are guys who call themselves the Ghostfacers who've had some awkward run-ins with the Winchesters. The Ghostfacers have a website with a vid demonstrating the things they learned from Sam and Dean, which came in handy when the Winchesters had to fight a ghost while under a form of induced amnesia.

sidenote: the most important thing about Bobby is Bobby's character = Cooter from The Dukes of Hazard. :)

Re: Who's that girl? ariadne83 February 16 2010, 10:57:05 UTC

Yeah, but the Winchesters aren't hugely a part of it. Probably because *Mary* was actually the one from a Hunter family; John just took on that role after Mary died.

Re: Who's that girl? laughingacademy February 17 2010, 04:16:17 UTC

Plus, John didn't even know about Hunters until after Mary's death (aside from one incident that was immediately wiped from his memory), and may never have know that the Campbells were into that.

That said, nearly ever other Hunter the boys have met has mentioned their dad, so he either made a name for himself fast or it's a fairly small group of people.
