Don't make me angry, Show, don't do it.

Can I just say this right here and now that if they dont use the song Carry on My Wayward Son in the Supernatural finale opening montage clips I will cut. a. bitch.

Seriously. They've used it for seasons 2-4 and it fits Show so well. And if whomever made it forgot, yeah, they're dead to me.

That is all.

I still miss all those songs though - rewatching old eps only further accentuates it more about how little they're using now. SAME.

I didn't watch Buffy when it was on. At first, I was too young, and then I just thought it was stupid. In 2008, I caught a few episodes of Angel on TNT and was surprised by how much I liked it, and a friend of mine here (who is incredibly intelligent and whose taste I trust implicitly) went, "YOU NEED TO WATCH BUFFY." And I was like, "Ehhhh, I don't really want to? I don't know if I'd like it? I like stories that center more on boys than girls?" And she basically went, "STFU and watch it." So I gave it a chance. And fell so completely in love with it that it will always out-rank SPN for me now (and saying that? is huge and srs bsns for me). The first season is a little silly and cheesy because they didn't know quite what kind of a show they wanted to make, and even the second can be until about halfway through. Then it just...transformed itself into this very epic journey about heartbreak and finding your place in the world and trusting your inner strength and fighting off all the monsters (literal, but mostly metaphorical) that life throws at you. More than anything it's about growing up. It's such a beautiful, smart show and Joss Whedon is a complete genius in the way he managed to craft all of it. In its lower points (and over seven season, there are some), and at its most transcendent, it's the best use of supernatural themes to cover real life struggles and hurt and triumph that I've seen. And frankly, if it wasn't for Buffy? We wouldn't have Supernatural, we wouldn't have Dean and Sam. I think her path made it possible for the Winchesters to be successfully put on TV. ANYWAY, I could really write a thesis on how much I love BtVS but look at how much I've already spammed your journal. xDDD

Meanwhile, I now find it very necessary to go play Carry On.

Spamming is totally fine, bb! I literally have nothing else to do so reading your comments/replying to them is how I'm spending my afternoon - which is totally fine! ;]

I will definitely need to give it a try then! I've heard soooo much about it but just never thought to actually watch it, myself. I may have seen a few eps in passing, now that I think about it, but never none in full. It sounds like my kind of show though.
Heh, if I do ever watch it I already know it won't surpass SPN for me - I think no show could do that - at least for a while. The love I feel for this show is so great and AMAZING that imagining any other show getting that love is just unimagineable.

I do too, now! haha Unfortunately the only copy I have of it is kind of a bad one. :/

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

Bweeee. That's how I'm spending my afternoon too. :D

I think Buffy is a good way to circumvent Winchester withdrawals. *nodnod* I always feel like I'm over-selling it because I love it so much. You still got monsters and some hot guys. hehe. if I do ever watch it I already know it won't surpass SPN for me. I completely understand that and it's kind of funny because I'd never done a re-watch of SPN, so most of the episodes I've only seen once when they aired live, and having that span of distance changed my perspective a little bit. I'm re-watching it for the first time right now (I'm almost done with S2) and it's inching it's way higher and higher in my heart again. I think I've had some trouble with the writing and OOCness that's happened on occasion in SPN, but the boys? As I'm re-watching it, I'm remembering why I used to always say SPN was my favorite show ever. I love these boys. Such ridiculous, enormous amounts deep in my heart and I'm sure it's unhealthy in some way, but I think you totally understand what I mean. The boys are everything when it comes to SPN and I really think I'll never love any characters the same way I love the Winchesters.

(I can send you a high quality copy if you'd like.)

I feel like I oversell SPN. xD I know, like every show, it has its plotholes and flaws but by the way I talk about it you'd think it was God incarnate on a tv show. I love it so much I'm just able to overlook all the little issues. [Not that it has a ton, at least to me.]

Yeah, IMO, you really need to see the old episodes first if you ever decide to watch the show because that's when it's really shown how much the boys care for each other and how much they mean to the other. [It's obvious still in more subtler ways nowadays but it was REALLY apparent back then and, IMO, you're missing so much if you don't see those.]
[Oh S2, my fave! I always cry at the end of AHBL and beginning of AHBL Pt 2. Every single time. :( ]

I do agree that this season the writers have made them a little OOC at times, but I think it's just because we have new writers who aren't fully aware of the show [like us fanatics fans are] but with Sera coming in big next season I have high hopes since she's been there all along. ;]

Oh God I understand you so much, no explanation needed. Before SPN I have NEVER loved a show this much, ever. [Well, I digress, I did for American Idol s8, last year, but that was a reality show so it doesn't count. ADAM LAMBERT FOREVAAAAAA!] So just the fact that I am SO in love with one now is really new to me [specially since I'm a rather new fan of the show, as well] and I'm not used to adoring fictional characters so much that I literally cry when they feel pain or laugh when they're happy. To me - and I'm sure as it is to j2 - they're real people and I dont want to see them get hurt or go through rough times [but with SPN, unfortunately that's pretty much all they go through :p] but be happy.
I just...adore those two boys so much on such a highly ridiculous level that even I know it's ridiculous. My dad used to give me grief about it but I think he's starting to get used to it. It's like "Yes, I know they're not real and yes I know they're not really going through that but STILL!" And
I don't care what anyone says - I have never seen a show anywhere or time where two characters love each other so much that they would literally sell their soul for the other in a heartbeat. That, right there, is why I love them so much; because of their complete and utter committment to each other and for family itself.

/longwinded

Oh that would be awesome! I would really appreciate that. :D

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

The old episodes are the foundation of the show. They had fun back then. They researched things and traveled around and snarked and really had to prove how much they loved one another. Not that I don't appreciate the Apocalypse storyline, because I do, but I miss that sometimes. I miss the way they sparkled with life at the beginning. The show has spent so long torturing them and I really want next season to give the boys some happiness. They deserve it at this point, damn it! xD

(I had forgotten how amazing S2 was. I'd actually forgotten a lot of it in general, a lot of detail other than the over-arching plotline. I guess that happens when years go by and you watch a ton of other stuff in the interim? lol. So it's really like seeing some of it with brand new eyes and I'm just loving it SO.VERY.MUCH. And I understand crying because I am an enormous weepy.)

I have a lot of faith in Sera. *nodnod*

I've never watched AI. xD But I tend to become a fan by osmosis of contestants later, and Adam Lambert is.really.amazing.

I'm not used to adoring fictional characters so much that I literally cry when they feel pain or laugh when they're happy. Oh honey. Welcome to my WORLD. I've been doing this with fictional characters for a long time. When I connect with something I tend to feel it so deeply that it becomes a part of me, and that's actually really cool because you'll never lose it. Those feelings will stay with you (or at least they always have for me and you seem similar in that way), and no matter how far you travel from it or what happens in your real life, when you need to feel that or need to find it again, it's always going to come right back to you. When someone criticizes someone else for connecting in a complete emotional, soul-affecting way with a fictional story, they've just never had the wonderful experience of feeling that way, and that's a shame, because it's kind of a miracle. ♥

Carry On (http://www.mediafire.com/?omjdo5d3xqz). Tell me if for some reason it doesn't work. :D

[gothic-elvis.livejournal.com]

I know, I feel the same way. I loved those beginning episodes with MOTW and just driving around having real no set plan. I miss that aspect of the show. I, too, like the Apocalypse storyline fine would like it better if it werent for Castiel but I'll be SO glad when it's over with this season.

(Yes! S2 is the best, at least to me. My ultimate favorite season ever. I adore a lot of episodes in other seasons, of course, but as far as storyline and just overall greatness, for me S2 takes the cake.)

Me too! I think she can really do this great and I don't understand why so many people are nervous about it.

xDD I normally don't watch it either! But by some chance I saw advertising for S8 and went "hey, I've got nothing else going on, might as well watch" and my God I'm so glad I did. -miracle-

I mean, I'm like that with celebs but SPN is the first show that this has ever happened to me with. It's all so new to me, feeling so strongly for characters that aren't even real. I'm not complaining though! I really love it - most of the time. haha[Of course I cry at movies and all that but it's not exactly the same thing.]
I know what you mean, just this morning I squee'ed "ONE MORE DAY I'M SO NERVOUS!" to my dad and he goes "It's just a tv show, remember it's just a tv show." I just kinda 0.o at him and "You don't understand." lol Which he doesn't; I'm so completely enamoured with that show and those boys and I dont even think he fully understands it. In fact I know he doesn't. It it something magical though - when something fictional is able to pull you in and drag you down and in with it. I love that feeling now. <3

Ohh it did work; thanks so much! :D
