Some stuff I want to share with you
Mitch Pileggi is returning to Supernatural. Shit fuck damn. Why do they taunt me with something to make me watch this show in Season 6?

The Internet as a Forum for Debate (Or: Living in Fear) by
icarus_chained I was pretty, um, unimpressed with this entry as originally posted. As amended, I'm still not impressed, but I'm a bit thoughtful.
HL would get the boot too… about the Washington Post letting go a reporter for a posting to a private e-mail list. cofax analyses how this relates to fandom
The Scifi Channel remake of Being Human is chugging along with things like casting. I am withholding judgment, but would love it if a Smallville fan could say about what Witwer was like as Doomsday.
I asked why bingo and people answered. Reasoning seems to break down along (1) Yummy, yummy prompts! (2) but not tied to a particular fandom (3) or a disappointed exchange recipient if you flake out (4) but with a deadline. Also, points are fun, either as a way of measuring oneself or competing against others. And kink bingo got several mentions with kink, specifically, being something people wanted to support, explore, or promote. But don't just read my summary, the answers are worth reading themselves.
So, victoria asked the other day, being a fan, What episode of a show I love haven't I watched more than 5 times? Well, I'm a fan, and I'm fairly certain that I haven't watched a single episode of anything* five whole times. In fact, I'm not sure that there's any tv series which was on for more than one season which I've watched in its entirety. I'm the sort of media fan who finds television less enjoyable than other fan pursuits, like reading fic, reading meta, and writing meta. (I do like watching TV much more than I like writing fic, but I find writing fic actively painful, so.) I mean, if I had to gauge the intrinsic pleasure of TV watching, it would probably rank about up there with icon making. (I think I've made about 30 icons in my whole life.)
*If someone were to do an actual complete audit of everything I have ever watched ever, it might turn out that I've watched one or two episodes of Law & Order five times each. I submit to the gentlebeings of the jury that, for the purposes of this discussion, that's brainwashing by TNT, and doesn't count.
Also,
femslash10 assignments came out last night, and I plan to write a Dear Writer letter in the next few days. Also, to do those frakking panel write ups.
