The Dee-annotated Supernatural: Phantom Traveller

[cupiscent]

I've been hideously crap at LJing, recently. I've scrambled vaguely through the flist once or twice, but I'm absolutely missing stuff. I'm not sure why. I'm flailingly busy at not much at all.

Jerry: Nobody knows what you guys did, but I do.
The Male: So when I said nobody, actually, I meant... oh nevermind.

...same reaction in this household.

as for what channel ten is doing, this is nothing sweetness. nothing at all. what you need to do is not watch anything on channel 9. ever. they fuck their programs so hard...

[cupiscent]

I just don't understand their reasoning. I mean, you explained the 9:30 slot thing, but why now two episodes? I mean, I like it when they help me catch up to the US, but I don't think this move is actually aimed at pleasing the fannish audience, do you?

[qthelights]

okay. first thing you need to know about network tv. they don't give a damn about any fannish audience. in fact, there is no such thing.
second. free to air tv is now the suck. they muck around timeslots, order of episodes, seasons, etc. this is why they make foxtel. foxtel is good and is actually aimed *AT* the fannish audiences what get screwed over. i cannot stand normal tv for this exact reason. they do not care at all. the sooner we all accept that, the sooner we all get foxtel.

;)

I just refuse to pay for television. It offends my delicate sensibilities. *G*

Still, I'm sure the free-to-air stations don't do things purely to screw over the audience. I can't see them at their meetings twirling their mustaches and saying, "I know! This'll shake those last few faithful viewers!"

...Well, I can, but that's because my imagination's weird like that.

That and the "We don't have time for the whole 'the truth is out there' speech right now". The scriptwriters must have so much fun. *G*

This community, it is interesting! *adds it to the list for adding when she eventually gets around to caving and adding a squillion SPN comms*

Dean: [proud] It's home-made!
Sam: [scornful] Yeah, I can see that.
Me: Well, if you're going to bust my gig, you can walk home, bitch.

YES. Sam's such a little twerp, and Dean is far too permissive of him being one. But this is totally one of my favorite episodes just because of Dean. He owns me.

[cupiscent]

I think that's because if they actually wrote the brothers' relationship properly, every second line out of one of their mouths would be "fuck you" and, y'know, timeslot. *G*

Yay Dean. Proud to be owned. LOL

If your icon's from the Republic series, please describe the context!

Alsoalso, the passing reference to Daddy being proud of Sam: Hee! I got distracted from Dean for a whole thirty seconds, I swear.

YOU'RE MELTING.

[cupiscent]

Er... yes? I think it's the Republic series? Before the Republic series was called that?

Anyway, it's from (I think) the "Rite of Passage" story arc. Quin and Aayla track down Villie again and need his help or something, and he's busy gambling, and as payment for his services, Quin fudges the dice roll, and Villie turns around and says something along the lines of "You never told me you could do that before. You are a naughty Jedi!"

You'll agree, it's too good not to be an icon. *G*

Also: It was thirty seconds, la! I stand firm! Especially since later on, Dean was all smug about his homemade EMF meter and Sam sat on his happy. Big meanie.

But two episodes next week! Five and six (I hope). Bring it on, baby! I taste good.

Would you believe I got my crossover idea before seeing this episode? For serious, I just watched it.

Dean: [proud] It's home-made!
Sam: [scornful] Yeah, I can see that.
Me: Baby! Sam, you jerk. *swats back of head*

Jerry - was weirdly great. "Excuse me, I have an idiot to fire." Love!
