The Dee-Annotated Supernatural - Shadow

While I'm talking: happy birthday, tvm. Hope the Winchester boys get magically transported to your house, with the car, but bizarrely without their clothes. *G*

The Male: So what's this episode about?
Me: I don't know. When the fangirls talk about it, they never seem to mention the plot...

Hook up? Totally means what you think it does. Except sometimes, when it just means "meet someplace innocent and have a lovely chat." I'm thinking ... intentional double entendre?

Also, I still don't even watch this show. I just really enjoy your narration, and also the awesome things you and The Male say.

cupiscent May 17 2006, 03:07:13 UTC

Heh, we win. No, really, I'm incredibly flattered that you read these but don't watch the show. HEE!

Me: Sam is made of dork.

*ded from laugh omg*

Me: Him and Keira in the gold-medal fight in that category.

Sorry, Dean, I'mma hafta lay my money on my girl, here. *mentally puts together; has sudden pants-fire*

cupiscent May 17 2006, 03:13:16 UTC

Sam IS made of dork. But no dorks died in the making of Sam. *G*

I'd back Keira in that contest too. But yeah. Let's just think about that hott for a moment.

HEY, ONLY FOR A MOMENT. *G*

bexone May 17 2006, 04:27:19 UTC

DON'T TAKE BUT A MOMENT, MA'AM.

But *damn*, if I go that way, I'mma go smiling. *g*

bex: please.

"Hook up" DEFINITELY = dirty dirty sex. I mean, usually. Gosh, Meg, I didn't know you were that kind of girl.

Your recaps never fail to crack my shit up and I am eagerly anticipating the "Hell House" installment.

cupiscent May 17 2006, 03:15:43 UTC

I had my suspicions about Meg. Girl's WAY fast. *G*

I am eagerly anticipating the episode! The Male squinted at the teaser and said, "So we miss that ep?" and I said "NO FUCKING WAY!" Except I think he does actually have a commitment to play badminton next Monday, so I'll have to tape it and watch it with him on Tuesday.

Also: *glee and curtsies*

I'm sort of in love with these.

cupiscent May 17 2006, 03:16:22 UTC

Thankee, ma'am!

Dean wins EVERYTHING when he says "bitch."

So, I'm curious: were the good Dean parts (see: the bitch line, also? buckets of crazy) enough to get you to overlook the over-the-top horndog stuff (hee, Spanish Fly) or the out-of-character "don't leave me" speech? This is actually one of my least favorite eps from the season due to how heavily-handed Kripke writes him. I can't get over it. (And you read about how Jensen fought against the speech too, right?)

cupiscent May 17 2006, 03:24:33 UTC

Bitch is a special word for Dean. He puts a lot of meaning into it.

Nothing is ever enough to get me to overlook stuff. *G* Call it the editor-training. I can desperately in love with 95% of something, but I'm still going to call the other 5%. I did, indeed, find some elements of Dean just a bit over the top this ep.

I have not heard about Jensen's fight for integrity. Do tell! That scene was... well, conceptually, I have no problem with it. I feel it's something that's been circled around for a while now, and although Sam's the one who excels at whining out loud, eventually Dean was going to have to talk. In the quiet before the this-could-be-it storm is a pretty good place for him to dare his "if I don't say it, it can't be betrayed" reticence. I find just about every "serious" scene in this show to be clunky, and frankly, there's no sin in the "don't leave me" scene that isn't well and truly trumped in the reunion/disunion sequence at the end. Also, Jensen's delivery was just so fucking good that I was only a little troubled by ( ... )

monkiedude May 17 2006, 11:36:11 UTC

Jensen's delivery WAS good, but (at that time in the season) the whole thing just rang falsely to me. Although maybe he was finally so unsettled by Sam's declaration that you're right, he dared to say something he otherwise wouldn't. Anyway. At the Paley festival back in March, everyone (Jared, Jensen, Kim Manners -- who directed that ep, Kripke, and John Shiban) were on panel and one of the questions was favorite episode/scene. From this review/transcript (http://dawnybee.livejournal.com/184557.html):

Kim: “Shadows”. I’m incredibly proud of the Sam and Dean scene ( ... )
