Yes, we need our own space. Eric should just post a photo of the current episode, bullet-point a few things, and let us converse. No big time commitment - c'mon, Eric, we promise to be good!

Oh, for sure, the MoL thing needs a LOT more exploration. It's a deep well they've barely tapped. Sometimes, the show burns through story way too fast on things that really deserve watching, while lingering on dead-ends (Mother of All Whatevs) for too damn long. Killing off Henry was a mistake, in my opinion. I wanted…

Ditto on the "genre" aspect - hybridity is a powerful force in storytelling, partly because it can draw on so many traditions and partly because of us, the audience. We bring our own layers and expectations into the viewing experience - things we love, things we fear - and those overlaps integrate and pull us into the…

And was on Days of Our Lives - Sami's twin brother, Eric. SO happy he got a better gig.

Lilith torturing the grandfather was stone-cold creepy. I'm partial to grandfathers.

Yes, please come over and watch that. It's delightful!

This will prepare you for the day you wake up and you're 40. The "fuck" you utter that day will be much louder.

I have always been conflicted on the Angels stuff. Cas was so awesome in the beginning - mysterious, haunted, opaque. Then the writers must've realized how funny Misha is (not Ackles-level funny, but a definite hoot) and subsequently made Castiel a bit of a clown, with fish-out-of-water stories, or "isn't it funny…

I would watch the shit out of a Colt-centered prequel. Or an Elliot Ness prequel. Or a Henry Winchester prequel. Time travel episodes make me completely giddy.

It's good to know that S6 improves on rewatch. I have 6, 7, & 8 standing by and was planning on doing a marathon to see how the arcs work when watched without the natural pauses of first-run TV. I do remember liking when Dean was a vampire, briefly. I liked Vampire Dean!

I always think of him as the awesome small town police chief giving a big fat fuck you to the smug elitist mayor in The Ref, particularly in how he recounts banging the mayor's wife: "She said YOU never went three times. Bob." So I find him non-creepy in anything now.

Agreed. Silly premise, but it's always worth it when Dean gets to be goofy, for any reason. His fierce glare at the startled mailman was awesome. The show has so much unnecessary angst in its late-run wheel-spinning era that these little nuggets of humor are wonderful

I never thought I'd say this, but I preferred Soulless Sam to Demon Dean. Being without soul made Sam a bit cooler, but I couldn't stop feeling uneasy watching Dean as amoral, cruel, anarchic. It felt like far more of a violation for some reason. I'm sure Ackles enjoyed the process, even though the show has always…

Yeah, who knew the King of Hell just wanted a dude bro to hang out with in roadhouses? It's funny that Cas and Crowley are both more than a little bit in love with Dean Winchester. He's conquered heaven AND hell.

The Danny Dancing dance will cause much more than just your computer to smoke. Find it. Find it now.

I never got the Gosling hotness thing either. He's all forehead and chin.

I don't think she was brainwashed off camera because the show took such pains to show the other female SHIELD agent getting wiped previously, with the result being a very blank personality afterwards. Simmons giddy "She's AMAZING!" line would violate the rules the show already established as to how brainwashed agents…

Any normal undercover agent working for a Nazi-ish high-tech corporation would trot out to the nearest Starbucks and hide in a ladies' room stall to send that message. Criminy!

That death stands alone. As it should.

Yes, for sure - that combination of religion and medicine would cover all possibilities about Beth's location and how it might fit into the juxtaposition of church and mortuary that I mentioned. The presence of chapels inside hospitals has always made the overlap pretty natural.
