SPN 8x19 + some other things

1. First thing, quick fic rec for anyone who might be interested (idk how many on here are into both, but it's so brilliant I have to share): this is an ASOIAF/Father Ted crossover where Stannis, Renly and Robert are priests living on Craggy Island and it's the most beautiful crossover that ever crossovered in every history of crossovers. Seriously

KIDS THESE DAYS. Poor kids, can't bring your iPod to class, cry some moar.

[janie_tangerine]

Ikr? at least my cousin has it going for him that he doesn't think that they should use them in class, but jfc seriously? I can't. (also hiding your ipod in your *boots*? What happened to the old 'stuff shit under the desk'? XD

She's obviously trying to make it so that Dean distrusts Cas since obviously she can't get hold of Cas anymore, and... nopedonotlikeitonebit.

I suspect that Naomi will do whatever it takes to get her way, to get the angel tablet back, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if she manipulates Dean into tracking down Cas for her -- after all, she and the angels can't seem to find him, so yeah, get the human to do it. It sounds like exactly the sneaky, underhanded type of thing she'd do. "I told you you could trust me," indeed. (Then again, Dean doesn't seem to be ready to trust any angels right now, so . . .)

at least we had a decent conclusion and we saw him again and ;_____;

Look at it this way: Bobby's OUT OF HELL, up in heaven being cranky, getting pedicures, and probably causing a ruckus. Go, Bobby! ;)

Benny owes a lot to Joshua from Fevre Dream - I thought it first because YOU KNOW VAMPIRE PIRATES ON BOATS IN LOUISIANA in Citizen Fang, but the more I look at it the more it seems like a) he's the basic same kind of person, b

[janie_tangerine]

Yeah I suspect the same, but I just really hope that Dean is smarter than that. I think he is, tbh, also because they already did the 'they don't trust each other and it ends badly thing', so I think it's gonna turn out different. ;) still, STOP MESSING WITH PEOPLE NAOMI, I like straight villains better

[cassiopeia7]

he's probably hanging up with Rufus in Heaven. ;)

LOL, the Hunter Odd Couple in Heaven. Lovingly snarking at each other for all eternity. Oh, how happy that image makes me. \o/

you're like the only person I know who read that book

Yeah, and you're one of the two people I know who've read it. One of the best vampire novels ever written -- EVER -- but hardly anyone has heard of it. Man, that's just WRONG. Everyone must be off playing Angry Birds instead. ;)

where he visits Dean's grave one hundred years later

;___; That scene broke me when it was "just" about Abner and Joshua. Turning the characters into Dean and Benny is killing me. *cries*

the left-ish people are seriously considering talking to B.

Yikes. Are the left-ish people not familiar with the concept of "deals with the devil"? Or have they just been on another planet while B. was in office?

Checking the PMs now . . .

[janie_tangerine]

Ikrrrrrr Odd Couple in heaven ftw! I really hope they're there all bickering ;___;

I know it's a travesty that everyone knows about Twilight but NO ONE READ THAT BOOK D: it's so good! Why can't everyone who's into game of thrones track down at least that one? D:

... I think I might even be considering writing it and trying to dissuade myself at the same time because as you put it, that part killed me once already, NO NEED TO MAKE IT WORSE right. ;___;

No, the thing is that if they don't play nice with B there's no government and we have to go voting again, and if it happens it's 100% sure that they lose and there's a good 80% of chances that B. wins -____- I mean, when this is the scenario I suppose they're trying to find out the least painful way to go at it. Still, it's just fucking depressing -_-

100% agreement on everything SPN - yes, it had continuity errors, but it wasn't enough to interfere with my veiwing and/or enjoyment of the episode, so, largely, I can move past it. (And 10000000% agreement on keeping Kevin and Crowley, and getting Benny back). Also, I will eagerly be awaiting your Benny and Balthazaar coda, because that combo can only be amazing.

[janie_tangerine]

Yeah same - or better, I'd be bothered if it wasn't a known issue XD I like it better when there aren't glaring continuity errors but if there are I usually just shrug and go on since it's no news. And other than that I really enjoyed it, so :D now I just really hope we can keep the people I want XD and lol at some point I decided that it's a travesty that Benny & Balthazar never met because between the snark, the accents and commiserating over their bffs not having fessed up yet IT WOULD BE GLORIOUS, so I decided that I'm hitching them up and that's it ;)

[aadarshinah]

I really would have liked to have seen so much more of what happened in Purgatory - I mean, if you can get to the exit in 1 day or so from where Sam appeared, Dean must have spent MONTHS just looking for Cas, either alone or with Benny, and that would have been so interesting to see on screen, at least for an episode or two. As more than a flashback, at least.

And angels. I'd have liked to have seen the dead angels in Purgatory. I guess you could make an arguement that, since they were never ensouled, they would never wind up there, whereas the monsters who do once had souls, but still. Balthazaar and Benny would be great - or both of them and Gabriel!

(On a side note, what do you think of the theory that's floating around that Gabe might have something to do with the video game-esque episode that's coming up in a few weeks? Because no one ever stays dead on SPN, not even angels, and the writers have know how much we all love him...)

[janie_tangerine]

Yeah me too, I think they should/could have had a lot more of it D: and yeah exactly omg I can't even take the idea that Dean looked for Cas for so much time - MY SHIPPER HEART ;______; also I suppose that he must have looked for a while with Benny or they wouldn't have been that tight when they got out

[janie_tangerine]

... woah. AT FIVE? I just - when I was five people gave me books at most, NOT AN IPAD. I wouldn't have even known what to do with an Ipad ffs O__O but yeah at least that! These new generations...
