Squee Flail Picspam Meta Retwatch Project for your delectation

Sep 03, 2011 21:36

Some while back, when bitterlimetwist and I were discussing my slow-grinding meta project The Road So Far (and suffering hiatus withdrawals), there dawned upon us an excuse to watch boys and flail a whole lot AWESOME idea. We would watch a random episode while having ourselves a typed conversation/commentary on it, and then discuss the deep, deep meta that we ( Read more... )

musetastic: tv/episode, category: wheeee!, show is not a beetle, project: awesome rewatch, spn episode review, the brothers winchester

I was injoying the light-hearted comments and the pretty pix, and then I hit your meta and went "Whoa, is this the same post or did my computer skip to another post?" :)

Head-hurting but thought-provoking meta--well done! (Though I may have to reread it not at 1 am to grasp it's full effect.)

Hee! Yeah, it kind of took a radical turn, there. I hope the re-read isn't too head-hurty. We had so much fun doing both parts of this, we might have got a teeny bit carried away. :)

Oh, Dean's rumpled hair is just plain dangerous. There is no doubt about it. Especially once we went through and found all those screencaps to prove it.

Mind you, the meta got pretty damn involved. There is a definite need to scroll up periodically and balance it out with Dean's hair. And Sam's dimples. For the sake of mental health, of course. *nods firmly*

I should note that for some reason, lj (which has been seriously giving me the irrits in the last few days, and I don't think I'm alone there) will not let me edit this post to correct the colouring which IT GOT WRONG. In the meta section, the three paragraphs following the single blue paragraph are all 's. There's an extra line break there to help distinguish, but HONESTLY. This posting process has been nothing but a giant pain in the persqueeter, unlike the commentary process which was, as aforementioned, AWESOME.

*shakes fist at lj*

So you know that part where I was trying to figure out why the idea of something existing because it's willed into existence seemed so familiar but I couldn't explain why? I didn't follow up on that because I just couldn't find the right words, but of course the other day I came across the very words I was looking for - Destiny is just another form of self-fulfilling prophecy. Which is a nice (though possibly only exists in my mind) nod to Sam's am-I-destined-to-be-evil season 2 arc. Ugh, sometimes I'm so slow. I mean, is it so hard to come up with "self-fulfilling prophesy"? *headdesk* Is there a time limit on the whole the-pretty-ate-my-brain?

PREEEEETTTY. It's not our fault!

Ooh, yes, self-fulfilling prophecy is definitely another angle on that. Hmmmmmmm. Where our "right" to choose - our will - is even more central. Of course, destiny and free will and self-fulfilling prophecy is headache-making of fairly large proportions! Do we want to take a crack at it? :)

I find the pretty to be a rather fantastic excuse for my shortcomings. *nodnod*

"destiny and free will and self-fulfilling prophecy ... Do we want to take a crack at it?"

The easy answer to that is Season 5. :) Dude, I believe you know I will go on any meta journey with you, even if it means climbing Everest.
