Ramblin' Rose and Show 8x02

[roxy]

Do you think the CW purposely makes those lame promos so lame? Like, they're so crap that folks talk about them and any talk is good talk as far as they're concerned? I mean, aren't these the folks who lost Chloe's leg? Or was it Lois' leg? Someone lost a limb....

Speaking of losing something, today, I miss Lex and Clark fiercely. It's probably that show Arrow. It had such a Smallville Being Serious look to it. He killed folks though--shocking. I don't want to spoil anyone in case they were desperately waiting for Arrow to show but wow, that guy's kind of cold-blooded. I might have to watch again.

And then speaking of cold-blooded, I don't hate what they did with Dean this season. He's as screwed up as ever, just in the opposite way he was after hell. It's a real treat for folks into Wolf!Winchesters. And next week, we get a look at Heidi!Sam. A treat for those folks into...well, I don't know anyone into Sam pretending to be Fraulein Maria. Maybe it won't be that bad....

I'm not sure I want to watch Arrow. I didn't like Oliver murdering people on SV & if it's a regular thing on the new show, no thanks. I like my heroes a little sweeter.

Also annoyed that they're apparently recycling all the SV sets!

Did you enjoy tonight's SPN? I liked it, though both Sam & Dean were a little too unconcerned for civilian collateral damage for my taste. (Dean makes sense if he's messed up post-purgatory, but where's gentle, caring Sammy?) Also, lol that even in purgatory Dean ends up with TWO boyfriends.

I miss Lex and Clark fiercely.
Always. Our beautiful boys.

Dean is more badass than he has ever been, and I'm loving it. He's been seriously hardened by his experiences and his choices, but I'm loving what a serious hunter that's making him out to be.

I'm not much into Heidi!Sam (god, I love that), but we got a hint this week that Sam did more than get domesticated during his year. He threw out that reverse exorcism like he's done it once or twice before.

I miss Clex, too. I haven't written since last February, and I miss it so much. Plus, there doesn't seem to be that many new stories to read. *pouts*

Sam pretending to be Fraulein Maria is one of my kinks. *nods seriously*

And I'm not really missing the Clex, but that's probably because I wasn't really in the fandom when it was a *thing* so I don't notice the difference so much. Though I do wish people were writing Clex fics more often :(.

Heee! Is Arrow bad? I saw the last bit before Show started and it seemed awfully...overwrought. I dunno. Not something i really care much for. Although i'm perfectly fine with 'our hero/ine' killing the bad guys. That should happen *more* often, really.

Show - oh, Show! Yes, this hardened, super!hunter Dean is so awesome. But sad. I know he's still season one Dean deep down - he's still the guy who stargazed with Sam and got Lucas to talk and loves his family but....

Oh, Dean.
*sniffle*

And yes! Reverse exorcism - there has to be *so much more* to what's going on with Sam. Can't wait for next week!
*twirls you*

Sam as Maria. OMG.

Same with the craptacular promo pics. As long as someone is saying something about it and the promos they count it all good press.

I think the CW's publicity department's motto is "Look at all the fcuks I give!"


I mean, aren't these the folks who lost Chloe's leg? Or was it Lois' leg? Someone lost a limb....

Lois and then Lois head was transposed on to Lana's body IIRC.

Speaking of losing something, today, I miss Lex and Clark fiercely. It's probably that show Arrow. It had such a Smallville Being Serious look to it.

So many SV memories came flooding back like shirtless guys and shady family members. Nothing beats SV but I'm happy with Arrow. It's a nice replacement show.

He killed folks though--shocking. I don't want to spoil anyone in case they were desperately waiting for Arrow to show but wow, that guy's kind of cold-blooded. I might have to watch again.

Even Lex would be like, "I thought I was about that life. It took me years to murder someone and I'm the villain of the story!" I like this incarnation of Oliver. It's a departure from SV and the comics but I love the mythology the show is trying to build.

And then speaking of cold-blooded, I don't hate what they did with Dean this season. He's as screwed up as ever, just in the opposite way he was after hell. It's a real treat for folks into Wolf!Winchesters.

I like it. I'm actually happy. I don't mind tortured! and Niagara Falls Eyes Dean but I love that finally he's borken, like you say in the opposite way. It makes sense considering the future!Dean from "IN the End". I think it finally sunk in that he tries to do all the right things, he tries to keep his humanity yet he keeps getting kicked in the teeth for that consideration. So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And acquire a new boyfriend while you're doing it. He's so Erica Kane.

And next week, we get a look at Heidi!Sam. A treat for those folks into...well, I don't know anyone into Sam pretending to be Fraulein Maria. Maybe it won't be that bad

I nearly fell out when Crowley called him Samantha because I just imagined Sam with his hair in two pigtails and a cosmo in his hand.

I really don't think I'd like Arrow at all. And I still don't, but the fact the guy--the HERO--kills people is AWESOME. I love heroes who are that human and flawed in the extreme; to the point the line between who the bad guy is and who the good guy is starts to blur. Batman killed people (in the comics) a few times and for that reason, he's actually one of my favorites of all time. Because. Batman killed people. He also lost his memory and became a crazy homeless dude at one point, which was also made of sparkly win. Bruce Wayne is so amazingly flawed and fallible that I have adored him for as long as I remember. (FYI: I have a thing for superheroes. Lol.)

Re: SPN: I think I am missing something fundamental here (as seems to be the case with me and show lately). But... What do you mean Heidi Sam? Because picturing Sam dressed up as a chick is making me feel somewhat... something I don't like Seriously. Not in a *HULK SMASH ARRR!* way (because while I'm apparently Pirate Hulk that would still be really silly of me) but in a... I just don't like that idea way. I mean, all I saw tonight was some old dude trying to sell what looked like a mummified dog penis, so I am not in the loop. At all. The way show is these days it's kind of like: Miss an episode, you're lost the whole season. I've missed two and now all I can think about is Sam in a dress. Oy.

Cold though... I like cold-blooded, especially if they're both playing at being glaciers (are they? please say yes). In fact, I would much rather cold-blooded Dean over, "every time you look at me, I will cry" Dean. Then cold-blooded Sam (not in a dress) is right where my happy button is. Jared can do cold so fucking well that it actually makes my skin crawl and I think he should totally do a guest spot on Criminal Minds as the unsub--a complete psychopath of one--someday. Because. GUH. It should not be hot. But it is. So, so, so hot...

Brb, drooling...

DId you notice that the Queen Mansion in Arrow seems to be the Luthor mansion from Smallville? On the outside, I mean.

I missed Arrow, but think I need to give it a try next week.

I love a hardass Dean. He's so broken bad and and when he took his tie off in the interrogation room, I, um, really liked it a lot. A real lot. I knew the guy was in for it.

You had me at Heidi!Sam...
