Television: Good, Bad, whatever, discuss II:

Yeah Supernatural is really good at that. Being self-referential etc. I really love stuff like that.

I am finding myself getting more and more attracted to Sam in season 6. I note it with interest.

[Papa's new wife]

Hollywood Babylon (Supernatural) was awesome. So funny. I love that McG can poke fun at himself.

Oh yayyy for keeping watching
One of my favourite things about Supernatural is its huge sense of humour. Now it does emo very well, but then it jumps out and goes AHHHHHHHHHH and makes you laugh like a loon.
And all the Sam love means Dean needs even more kisses

[Voodoo Lady]

Well, I'll still leave that to you ladies to cover. I'm actually not all that attracted to either of them. I see that they're attractive, but I'm afraid that all my lusting is currently being used up by Cumby and a certain real life bloke. Darn those real life blokes! They ruin all the best celeb-fueled daydreams*!

*In fact, the only way I can even daydream about Cumberbatch right now is if I imagine we meet and hit it off, and then I go to RL bloke and say, "Before I pursue this, could there have ever been anything between you and me?" in grand sappy drama stylee. Yes, I are just that sad.

Just starting in on DOI, and can I just take a moment to comment on Katarina's increasingly revealing tops? I predict next week it will be cut all the way down to her navel. We get it, lady, you have boobies. Enough, already!

EDIT: Sad to see the person go who went, but the preferred one of the two. Sometimes I hate audience voting. Boooo!

In other news:

Supernatural Season 3: If this were Buffy/Angel, there'd be a comical demon attorney they could consult to try to find loopholes. Just sayin'.

It really does make me laugh. Mainly Dean.

Dean will continue to get kisses from me! There is no chance of Sam taking over.

Darn those real life blokes! They ruin all the best celeb-fueled daydreams*!

Wow. If only would be my response to that. I never like anyone real. And if I do then they are gay because I have issues and am attracted to gay men! I do like your plan though. That is definitely something I would go through in my head. I have fantasies about what if this happened and what I would say to that person. Does everyone do that? I mean I literally mapped out a whole conversation for if I won the Derren Brown meal!

Supernatural Season 4, Episode 1 = Stooooooooooooooopid. I'm not all the way through it, but part of the reason is that I can't watch more than five minutes without wanting to yell at someone, anyone, because of how stupid it is! I was already operating under the assumption that most of this show is guilty pleasure/brain candy viewing, and for the most part, I've been enjoying it in that way. But this episode...I don't know that I can turn my brain any more off! Arg! I'm assuming it gets better, but honestly, right now I don't know if I want to hang around for much more. So much of last season was poor (due to the writers' strike, I'm led to understand); I'm not sure how much more of this I can plow through. Still, I see that the almighty "Misha" is in this episode, and out of curiosity, I must at least find out what he's all about. Honestly, you ladies must be due some sort of compensation for turning other people onto the show. If it weren't for you and your devotion, I would never have come even this far!

Please don't mistake me; as guilty pleasure viewing, I've enjoyed a great deal of it. It's just when it takes these bizarre turns that I want to bang my head on my desk and ask, "Whyyyyyyyyyyy?!"

P.S. New "Ruby" = suck.

*hugs tightly*
Sad news, it took most of the year for me to fall in love with Castiel, he pissed me off when he was first introduced.
I really liked series 3, it made me laugh so much.

I fell for Dean almost straight away so he took the pain of any crap episodes away so I guess if you don't go OMGILOVEYOU to any of the characters then you actually start watching the program properly.
I also don't see it the same way as you, I genuinely find it a thoroughly enjoyable series which keeps me hooked (apart from the odd episode here and there, and half of series 6). I love the dynamic between Sam & Dean and some of the characters are brilliant. Bobby for example, I want him to be my uncle. Maybe it is because I am the Sam age as Dean and my brother is the same age as Sam I pretend it means more than it should.
I got lent series 1 of 24 and that was SUCH a bloody slog, I felt my will to live slipping away with each episode (and Saint Misha only kept me watching) and then I tried series 2 and lasted an episode and a half. I am not bothering again, it is AWFUL.
So to last until series 4.... bloody hell!

If you decide not to watch we won't cry, promise (not much anyway ahahahahaa).

Oh, and Sam is married to this Ruby IRL.

[Voodoo Lady]

I will probably give it a rest and then try it again in a bit. If I still can't get into this season, I may drop off.

I don't mean to imply that there's nothing about it that I like. There's certainly plenty, or I wouldn't have stuck it out even this long. Just certain things annoy me, and when they seem to start to take over the show, it's tough for me to look past them. There was much of Season 3 that I liked. Some episodes were proper scary, and I laughed my butt off through Hollywood Babylon (Do you guys know that 10-1 is film crew code for "on the toilet, doing a number one"? So when Dean is on the headset and says he thinks the starlet is on a 10-1, he was saying she was having a wee. ) It's just toward the end it got pretty bad. Ghostfacers or whatever was one of the worst-written episodes of TV I think I've ever seen. Okay, maybe not, but it felt that way at the time.

It's funny, Katie, because my youngest brother (the weirdo "Josh Rodgers" on facebook) says he likes the show because the brothers' relationship reminds him of himself and Ian, the Bro that lives with me. So I guess that's not an uncommon draw for the viewers. I think I get it, but I definitely don't see myself in either of the characters. (I think I know what Josh sees, but duuuuuuuude, he is SO far from being like Sam it's kind of sad.) I sort of feel like anyone who has to remind their sibling why they're helping them *five times an episode* (Dean, you're my brother, and I have to help you. Sam, you're my brother, okay? I'm supposed to look out for you.") can't have that great a relationship. I know, I know, at least half the time it's exposition in case of new viewers, and I'm not being fair 'cause it annoys me. It happens sometimes.

Oh, a sort of side note: I really liked Bella, and thought that the way they left her was kind of stupid. Granted, they've left it open for her to possibly come back at some point. (You just can't get good hellhounds these days.)

[miss denton]

I seem to be addicted to US shows at the moment. The Walking Dead is back and just gets better and better with each episode. Homeland is unmissable for me. I have jusrt seen episode one of Grimm and i am loving it, it is very Buffy. I started watching Death Valley on MTV (yes Mtv. I haven't watched that channel since i was 16 )and i love it. I missed the first couple of episodes but i love it, it's really funny.

[Voodoo Lady]

Okay, I watched Supernatural 04:02, and it was back to the fun yay/scary business, which is what I enjoy about the show. So I'll carry on.

For now. =shifty eyes=



Quick question: Is Dracula this season? I'll have to watch at least until he comes on, or I'll never hear the end of it from certain friends.

[Papa's new wife]

Episode 5 'Monster Movie' (I like it a lot as well, you'll see straight from the start why).
I would reply properly to your previous post but I killed myself with beer last night (BAD Sarah!)
If you watch Episode 5 and want to stop you are not allowed until you have watched Yellow Fever straight after it

[Voodoo Lady]

Hahahahahah! Yes, ma'am! =salutes= As that's only a handful of episodes away, I suppose I can hang in a little longer.

[Voodoo Lady]

DOI: Result.

'Nuff said.

No ill will intended, I should add. Just...there's one every series, isn't there. :/

[astrid]

Agree! Total tit, glad they are gone. It's going to be tough next week as they are all so good. The public dont seem to like Chemmy much.

[Voodoo Lady]

Yeah, and I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's 'cause she's not as soft and girlie as the others? Or could it be that she's an Olympic athlete, so people assume she's come into the competition with an advantage, personality-wise? I think Chemmy is fab. I don't see her lasting much longer up against such talents, but she's done a great job, and it's been fun to watch her.

It's funny, Jorgie REALLY reminds me of *ahem* a recently former friend of mine, so I sometimes find her hard to watch. It's too bad because I actually really like Jorgie and think she's cute as a button. All of her girliness and "blink, blink" seems genuine, which helps. So often people put that sort of thing on 'cause they think they should, and it comes of as so disingenuous.

Obviously, it's all about Matthew and Jorgie for the finals, but it's been fun watching the others catch up the way they have. Jen has brought tears to my eyes the last two weeks. I wish I could see more from her, but like Chemmy, I think she's bound for the skate off soon.

PS What is it with every single female contestant this series being blonde? How the hell did they manage that? Surely it couldn't have been intentional.
