Those were beautiful! How have I not seen this before?

There are quite a few really good things that have happened in 6+. I, for one, love Balthazar, Abbadon, Kevin, and Mrs. Tran enough that I can't write those seasons off entirely. Plus, more Crowley! But, all together, they're not as good or as tight as the first five. Season seven was one in particular that I didn't…

RPM was so good.

Davison and Tennant were who I thought of first too, and wasn't Paul McGann called "The Oncoming Pretty" by a few people?

None of the Doctors are conventionally attractive but they're all arresting.

I've always felt that Supernatural and American Gods would be a wonderful combination, and I think I remember Kripke saying that he was really influenced by Gaiman's work.

I don't really know, and that was basically my point in the whole discussion. But one of them really wanted the alternate future in "The End" to happen for real in the show. He must be so disappointed now...

I think one of my favorite fan-bonding experiences about Supernatural was in my all-male-but-me writing workshop group. One of them had brought in a piece that mentioned an Impala, and one of the other group members sort of hesitantly asked what year Impala it was supposed to be.

I love me some Cas, but yeah.

I'm going to have to rewatch that episode because elsewhere I have people telling me that the Alpha's baby DID shift like a normal shifter—gross skin stuff and all, so the bloodlines idea doesn't really work. And then there's the whole resistant/nonresistant to silver thing. I really don't remember though, season six…

Ennnhhh, I guess that's fair. But if shapeshifters can do quick changes like that, why did the shifter in, say, "Nightshifter" not do that? Why did he do the whole skin change thing every time he shifted, even when it was only for a short time? I still call a teeny, tiny amount of BS on this whole thing.

I was intensely frustrated by how they totally disregarded the previous shapeshifter lore they had going on, i.e. the whole skin peeling, molars falling out thing, in favor of nice, neat transformations (and yeah, okay, that happened in "Blade Runners" but that shapeshifter was in a collection of rare things, so I can…

The bizarre relationship that has developed between Misha Collins and William Shatner on twitter is probably one of my favorite things that has happened on the internet.

I've never heard that comparison before, but it fits exactly!

I'm reading Red Dragon as well! Got a little sick of my friend ranting and raving about all the shout outs in Hannibal to the books and finally picked up a copy. It's kind of an odd experience to go through, since I'm only really familiar with the characters via the show.

I don't know why, but big ships on the lakes are just so cool.

Ugh, that's so true. There's even a "Tropes Are Not Bad" (which seems to have been renamed "Tropes Are Tools" when I've not been paying attention) page, and people still seem to think that trope=cliche=bad writing. Which is not true.

One of the first things all my creative writing professors make sure we're capable of doing in my classes is finding and recognizing repeated elements of stories. Every story I've read in my fiction workshop this semester, and I mean EVERY story, ended with us in class having to describe the "shape" of the story and…

I don't know if I should take that as "But teenage girls have the vampire genre firmly within their grasp, why do they need so many shows?" or "But why do all the shows have terrible vampires?" or "But could we solve this whole problem by releasing vampires on unsuspecting young girls?"

Hey, don't you be ragging on shows for teenage girls. What else do they have going for them?
