The Dee-annotated Supernatural: Wendigo

[cupiscent]

I totally did not just rewatch it, and therefore am totally not noting down my thoughts on it.

Last week's slick recapThe Male: Yeah, that's a good idea; load and cock the shotgun, then throw it violently down at groin height

You big fangirl, you. *smirk*

Seriously, do I dare even start? I already have seventy bajillion other things on my to-watch list. MY NETFLIX QUEUE IS AT CAPACITY, HERE. And that's not even counting the ones on the paper list next to my computer that I'm adding as I watch things and sent them back because 500 disks is insufficient space omg.

Also, go answer my poll.

I dunno. I mean, I enjoy it, but it is just TV, after all. It's
pushing the right buttons, as far as I'm concerned, but there are many
things that push the right buttons. When it all boils down (and leaves
sludge at the bottom of the saucepan), there are many things to watch,
and the world isn't going to end if you don't watch them all. Also, I
will still love you even if you don't fan the same things I do.
Promise. *G*

You have a poll? *salutes*

It's less that I'm worrit about you not loving me and more that I trust your fannish taste in these things.

...Not entirely sure why, as it's got me reading SW novelizations, but there you go.

[rogueapprentice]

OMG...

Supernatural has become to you what Lost is to me!

*GRINS*

Sam and Pouty Kid go into the mine.
Both of us: KOBOLDS!

*Is dead of laughter*

[cupiscent]

We are on a big fat D&D geek kick. *G*

And it's possible that it may head that way. Though, see, only two characters in SPN. That's about my fannish limit on an ongoing basis, I think. Otherwise I overload. I'm just talking out my arse now. *G*

I must admit I have not really experienced your bond with Lost. Because I haven't been following the show itself, I haven't been following your fannishness too much. But hey, we all have our fannish proclivities, no? It's why we're here.

[msilverstar]

oh my, you're making me want to watch this!

[cupiscent]

Oops. I'm That Girl who converts people! Wristsmack! *G* It is kinda fun. Have a little look. Your mileage may vary, of course. If it doesn't float your boat, that's fine too. Fandom's diversity is part of its beauty. *G*

[cruelest_month]

I have nothing to say except that I loved reading this. And bwahaha you fangirled. :P

[cupiscent]

Actually, that's good to hear. Because I wrote the first part, in particular, and went, "This is me and the Male in-joking to each other. Who wants to read this?" So yay, validation. Or something. *G*

And yes, I fangirled all over the place. Ew, what a mess.

[cruelest_month]

Aww. Huzzah!

A good mess though. Supernatural is worth fangirling over. :D

[navia]

Oh, how quickly you have fallen. *cackles* My prediction is that you will soon fall in love with Sam. Dean is the obvious cool character, but Sam snuck up on me very, very fast.

Yes, the color is desaturated. Everything is crisp and blue/green/grey.

Their climaxes do get better. Everything gets better, really; I think they just needed time to settle in.

You're making me want to go back and rewatch the first eps!

[cupiscent]

No, I will resist Sam! I will resist like whoa! Bland little brat. *G*

Well, obviously I'm interested in him too, but for being the window character, he's really bloody opaque. I'm going to find it hard to get over not fully exploring inside his head regarding the whole business of his girlfriend getting offed in precisely the same manner as his mother, HIS guilt about that, etc. I mean, they might still do that, in fact, I should bloody well hope they do, but I feel like it should have been done in the immediate aftermath. Not to mention the taking up of his old life, how that feels, etc etc etc.

Er, in other words, the things I'd probably write fic about, were I going to do something stupid like write fic. *G*

Basically, I just feel like I can see all of Dean - not explicitly, but the silhouette he makes and the shadow he casts. Sam's not there at all for me. Yet. Of course. *G* You may yet be right.

AHAHA, just remembered one comment that I forgot, which went something along the lines of:

Haley: *kisses Dean* Thanks Sam. *

[navia]

Oh, my dear, are you in for it. *g* Trust me, they explore both Sam's and Dean's feelings about everything you could hope for, but they do it slowly, ep by ep. (The show is an earnest family drama cloaked in a supernatural adventure show.)

but I feel like it should have been done in the immediate aftermath.

But how? He's trying to be a man about it, and Dean is content to let him have that for now. Don't worry, it doesn't last long. Also, the idea of Sam as the window character is somewhat deceptive, b/c what's new to us is not new to either of them. It's almost like...they share a POV, and they share secrets, and the audience is left waiting for one or the other or both to reveal these things. Sam is opaque in a way Dean is not and omg, I am ready to watch some eps right now.

[cupiscent]

Hmm. I think maybe it's just that all my instincts are, after eight years, attuned to movies. It affects the way I think about pacing and character development. I can only consider what I've already seen as a complete unit. *G* What is this strange ongoing television thing?!

That said, let me re-examine my feelings at this point in time... I mean, I do have a problem with the way Sam is at the moment. He's just not meshing for me. I think it's that we don't really see that week in Stanford when he's working on the problem itself. It seems like he goes straight from "Shit, my girlfriend's defying gravity and on fire!" to "Daddy will know what to do!" Whereas, actually, he would probably have any knowledge that his father had on the phenomenon (because he seems to have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of everything else), and having been the key central figure in both manifestations of this, surely even he can see that he's more likely to be able to get to the bottom of it than Papa
