Though it might appear otherwise, I'm neither MIA nor have dropped off the surface of the Earth. Just a bit caught up with RL and taking a bit of break from active Lj fandom.
But not from pondering over and ruminating on on-line communication and interactive fandom involvement altogether (what? I do that for a living, in case you're wondering).

Part 1, Part 2 

( Sam, Unforgiven )

Got carried away beyond reason. Part One of this overview here.

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven...

Before we proceed with the overview, I have to confess, that upon first viewing the episode left me more within the realm of disgruntled wrt to both our intrepid protagonists characterizatoin itinerary of ( Read more... )

Sure enough, as I was about to post the SPN episode 6.10 review, my Internet connection decided to go down. So I had to retype the whole thing from scratch!
But on we go, at the long last, with the latest SPN episode overview. 6.10 "Caged Heat".

A little something by way of SPN fanfic, coming out of nowhere, as usual.

I've always had trouble coming to peaceful terms with the sort of father John Winchester panned out to be. Especially once it turned out he had a 'beta' family on the side and never bothered to tell Dean and Sam about it. Much as I *want* to believe John did love his elder ( Read more... )

Given the current state of affairs in the Winchester Brotherdom of Woe, it's probably not the soundest idea to go back and skip-rewatch season 1, yet there you go. And in all honesty, through most of 5 pushing on to 6 seasons of the show worth I've hardly ever felt worse for Dean, than in 'Shadow'. Provided, I more often than not am compelled to  ( Read more... )

Technically, I'm not in any remotest vicinity of plausibility am supposed to be bored, for there're about a million an a half things I am to do or could be doing at the moment. The research project report I'm stranded to supervise and the deadline on a thesis review pending, notwithstanding, there're a couple (okay, about four or five) aborted or ( Read more... )

As ever, I'm facsinated with connecting the Lee/Dee centric narrative dots of BSG season 2.
