Sorry to disappoint if you are expecting anything fancy in the way of a recap of the episode as I am not up for that sort of thing...but I do have a few comments. ( Read more... )
First, let me say that it's not ME complaining this time. It's an IGN reviewer with whom I just happen to agree. :grin:

Supernatural Episode 5.05 Spoilers
Oct. 8th, 2009 08:44 pmWhat time is it? 8:30
That's late.
Nah, Nah, that's early!
Supernatural night tonight, people. And this is the one that so many fans are dreading. But I have hope that it will be a much needed lighter episode after all of the angst and suffering we've endured for the last, what? 2 years? If we don't count Cas going to a brothel, I think the last really fun episode we had was Yellow Fever in S4. So, let's bring on the suicidal stuffed bears (or wind-up mechanical chihuahuas) and the House of Wax references. ( Read more... )

Supernatural S5 Episode 1...Reaction Post
Sep. 10th, 2009 09:27 pmI'm going to try something a little different. I'm going to do a reaction post as I watch the episode and see what I can catch as we go. Under the cut for Spoilers...and probably a little bit of Wincest sicko squee...as I'm not as pure as I once was. ( Read more... )
Supernatural Fic Rec
Aug. 20th, 2009 07:51 pmAs most of you are now aware, I am watching Supernatural S1-S3 on DVD and sort of getting caught up on the show. My sister has S4 on tape so I should be all ready for S5 to start. In a recent post I went on about how I didn't really get the Wincestuous subtext that seemed to crop up in the show as of S2 and just...continue. Not, that I felt the actors were playing to the idea of being into one another...but that there are definite written references to the concept. And, it struck me as quite weird for the writers to go there.
Oddly, it did not strike me as unsavory, just as not my thing. Slash for the most part leaves me cold and Sam/Dean is no exception to that rule. Even where I find the ship believable...such as with House/Wilson...or Jack/Ianto or Fledgling!Spike/Angelus...I don't really get much of a charge out of slash pairings. And sometimes, I get repulsed...and I'll tell you why...( Read more... )

Fan Vid: Supernatural
Aug. 19th, 2009 12:41 pmOkay...this is another look at that whole Wincest idea that is apparently alive and well online. I love this video. Dean is very hot in it. But...I still don't get the "extreme Wincest" that is given as a warning. Well, except that the song is very naughty in context and yes, Dean is hot. Anyway, I don't believe this vid will squick too many people...even though it is apparently about Sam/Dean love. I think it makes both of the boys look like something you would hit.

apparently immune to Wincest vibes...despite agreeing that TPTB want me to see it. Frankly, I see a lot more heat in Jared/Jensen con interaction.

Supernatural's Gay Incest Subtext
Aug. 12th, 2009 03:30 amTo quote Dean to Sam: "Could you be any gayer?"
Let me first say that, quite by chance, I rented S1, Disc 1 of Supernatural on the very day that Russell T. Davies suggested we all go watch it because the pretty boys are pretty. To be perfectly frank, during S1, which I watched two weeks ago, I was not very impressed with the pretty boys or their writers. And I was a little bit puzzled by Russell's implication that watching the two brothers cavort would somehow satisfy the heartbroken Ianto/Jack fans.
I midway through S3 and I get the connection. But I really still wondering about why the Supernatural writers are turning up the incest-slash subtext in this show. I mean, was it just someone's idea of "hip" behavior to have the brothers insinuate intimacy? I don't dispute that the insinuations exist. They are there in the canon of the show. But Sam and Dean are brothers, as far as we know. Are there loads of people crying out for them to shag? Frankly, I am only on episode 4 of S3...so I could be wrong about this...but I would place good money on Sam being some sort of demon spawn. That would make them half-brothers, I would imagine, but still too close for the politically correct. And frankly, they don't have that much chemistry. I'm not sure I would believe them as a couple even if they weren't brothers. And don't get me wrong, Dean is really selling the "I love my brother, the fairy princess" to me. I definitely see that I'm supposed to be going along with this.
My FList being the eclectic group that it is, I suppose some of you are down with the Dean/Sam pairing. And knowing fandoms as I do, I'm sure it has a huge following. But it isn't translating to me despite the writers trying their best to sell me on the idea. I suppose considering the number of slash fans in sci-fi that's nice of the writers. Makes a change for the people who swing that way (toward slash I mean). What we are supposed to think, I guess, is since the boys are dysfunctional and hanging out in motel rooms...they are getting busy on one another, despite being related.
But I don't know...it just strikes me as desperate. A sort of "throw everything at the screen and see what sticks approach." But, other than that, I do like the show's gumption. They started out as a real piece of drek, where every episode ended with pit barbeque, and they've come around at S3 to something I am actually interested in watching. It's a show with redneck charm.
But honestly...does it need to be redneck, rock-n-roll, demon-hunting, salt-n-burn, slashy-gay, brother-on-brother incest charm? Really? Who is with me on the incest just being the writers trying too hard?
