One thing about 10x13

Not sure who this was more offensive towards, these kids or gen-xers.

Better to consider it the ep in which Dean was British and Sam had a sparkly pink laptop.

Aww, yay, I'm glad you enjoyed it,a and that you might start watching the eps live !


I liked that there was a lot of interaction between Sam and Dean too, I'd like to have that evey or almost every episode, oo, but the writing.... I didn't mind the ogling much, I missed part of it and don';t feel like checking back for it, I didn';t understaand what Dean said. But I don;'t generally mind Dean's flirting or checking women out.... IDK, I just don't. I agree that it was over the top, probably intentionally, that just really didn't work, IMO. Sometimes the show is a bit cartoonish in ways that could perhaps work - this just really really didn't work for me, sorry.... felt loveless, felt - when Robbie writes ridiculous stuff, or for sure in eps like Mystery Spot of Changing Channels, even The French Mistake - it comes with so much depth, understanding of the characters and the world, so much love - it is present in there! This just felt - I felt it was - cheap and shallow.

I believe you are giving the show way too much credit, but it is beautiful and just a lovely (loving) interpretation, I'm on board with you .


The one teen scene that really rubbed me wrong was the second kill with the two girls. I'm pretty sure it was deliberate caricature, but it was painfully unfunny

Agreed. That was my breaking point... The jokes about Dean and computers made me really uncomfortable, but then this was just - made it a theme .

Edlund was the only writer who ever pulled off broad comedy

Interesting. I give Carver, for all I have problems with his current work, some credit there too, though you make an interesting point, I'd like to ponder!

it amused me to see Sam and Dean framed as "old," because on a network or cable show they'd be the young up-and-comers


I really realy hope so. There have been *so* many jokes about that it makes me so worried and uncomfortable, and J2 have both been talking about that - I just. Ugh. I don't want the show to go off the air cause the cast is "so old", I don;t want them to try to make it young o hip, I don;t want J2's careers to disappear after this cause they';re supposedly so old, and as actors would probably have beenn better served had they left after 5-7 seasons fo a new show... ugh. I really do worry.... I wrote somewhere else here - I saw David Bowie go through that and it was horrible (well, it seemed so and he disappeared for 10 years) - I don't want this to happen. People are so mean.... And yeah, it does have to do with my experiences too - I've been being told I'm over the hill since I was 23-24 for sure, perhaps earlier. ATM I keep being told if I want any job in academia I'd better find a way to squeeze the next five years of studying out of existence, or be willing to leave M and move across the world. That's terrifying. So yeah, I'm worried about that sort of thing.

And it reminded me of my life in fandom, which is the one place where, at the ripe old age of 32, I regularly feel like an old woman yelling at the kids to get off her lawn.

:) Kids today with their fancy female Thor and Facebook poking!


Yea, ok, sorry about the rant. I'm just worried. Jared talked about being pressured to color his hair cause it's apparently going gray? WTF?! Where? Eh, I like guys in gray long hair.
