Little Rant Caused By Me Being Ill And Having Too Much Time In My Hands...  
...I mean, even more than usual. :o)

1) The only bad thing about Supernatural is the lack of actually up-to-date websites. I tried to find the air date for the newest ep but alas no luck. At least I finally did dig something up on a general website. And it says Scarecrow will air before Faith, that's just great because I really really really want to see Faith. Meh.

2) Re-watched X2 yesterday. This must possibly the only film I can't watch in English. First, Ian McKellen's voice. I mean, I can easily watch Hooligans and not think of Elijah as Frodo, or I can watch Lost and not think of Merry but when it comes to Sir Ian, he'll always be Gandalf to me. Maybe it's because everyone else slightly altered his accent, but he just spoke the way he always does and it's just - Gandalf. So that had me giggleling several times. And else?

Please, dear US film makers, I know this is a difficult concept for you but the next time you need a character from Germany, why not actually cast someone from Germany? We have brilliant actors here, I promise. That fake German accent of Nightcrawler is possibly among the worst I've ever heard, and it's not much better when he talks in German. Plus, no one would say "Gehen sie raus!" when upset like that. Heavens. (And while we're at it? Please, dear "Lost" crew, cast actual Bretons and Australians, even for the supporting roles. Even I can hear their accents are fake)

/rant

I'm less sniffy today, thankfully, instead I've developed a slight cough. Well, it's a nice excuse for me to do nothing but watch shows and films. :o)

Randomly - did anyone else's eyes water at the end of the "The Doctor Dances" episode from season one of Doctor Who?

Maybe that's why I don't slash them *lol*

rofl. I think it's still a matter of taste.
Btw, I get what your point. You see the fun thing about Sam/Dean slash is that the fics are usually about them *realizing* their love for each other. Because right now in canon, they do not... So yeah, you're also right.

or because he happens to be your brother.

Agreed, but I really don't think either of them is the type to just respect someone because "society tells him to". I really think they would act a lot differently if there wasn't love/respect basis to their relationship. Those two "connect", and I've seen enough people who are related but do not "connect" at all.
And I could get into the whole Ackles/Padalecki friendship - and the fact that they do have *chemistry* - which just "bleeds" into the whole Sam/Dean dynamic.

"Every morning I find Dean in Sam's cradle, embracing him like he's trying to protect him from whatever's out there."

I've never bothered to read the journal. Though I think I've read *that* phrase - and laughed my ass off. (They really should know better than to feed the slashers.)

Through all the episodes Sam is the one who wants to find their father and Dean is willing to do as he's told by his father - doing the job. To me that's mainly why they're doing all the hunting, if it was up to Sam they'd just be looking for John.

I think that was true for the first three/four (?) episodes - later Sam obviously is looking for other cases, too - and doesn't mind staying and helping. Which of course probably has to do with the fact that the trail is cold... But the question is, if they don't know where to go to find Daddy, *why* is Sam still with Dean? *g*

That was the "posession". What's definitely there is the hatred, though.

But the whole point was, that there was no possession. It was all anger. And okay, maybe it acted as an accelerator. But Sam crossed the line... and that being the one line you do *not* cross with people you love.

Hmmm might be, I haven't paid too much attention to his acting on Smallville *cough*

LOL! me neither. (It's on my re-watch list, though). I never really connected with Jason... but then there was Lana.. and the bad writing that is SV.

Oh bugger - I forgot! I will do that later, or tomorrow! (Sorry first there was christmas, then I was ill...)

No need to apologize.. I'm just still curious how you're going to react.

By the way, discussing with you is really fun. Just wanted to say :o)

Right back at ya : ) Really, if I didn't like it, we wouldn't be talking, believe me *g*

[btw, I also keep wondering if you would be interested to attend one of our sleepover/weekend meetings (we have them once or twice a year). It's actually a slash meeting, but we're always talking about a lot more than slash - and we've had other people there who weren't really into slash, too.
And it might be fun to meet in RL. And I think you would fit right in *g* You just would have to come to Mainz. Mareen would probably be there too. At least she was so far *g*]

Cheers for once in my life I was right! *lol* And basically that was what I meant - course they do love each other but only subconsciously. Or Sam probably more subconsciously than Dean. It's the way Dean keeps calling Sam "Sammy" that tells how much he cares for him. Of course it could be the whole "I can't see my brother's grown" thing but whenever Sam gets hurt (like - every ep) it sounds really affectionate somehow.

And I could get into the whole Ackles/Padalecki friendship - and the fact that they do have *chemistry* - which just "bleeds" into the whole Sam/Dean dynamic.

I've never seen those two outside their roles but I assumed they were good friends, you just... you can really see it on screen. They just work as a team if you see what I mean.


I've never bothered to read the journal. Though I think I've read *that* phrase - and laughed my ass off. (They really should know better than to feed the slashers.)


Neither do I, Ijust found that quote somewhere. And was thinking of all the slashers right away :p

But the question is, if they don't know where to go to find Daddy, *why* is Sam still with Dean? *g*


Well let me guess YOUR answer to that :p

Seriously, maybe he just can't go back to college anymore. Or deep down in his heart with Dean is the only place where he feels safe now... (Overinterpreting? ME? *g*)

It was all anger. And okay, maybe it acted as an accelerator. But Sam crossed the line... and that being the one line you do *not* cross with people you love.

He was kind of posessed. And still I think it's not so much Dean he hates but his father, and he sees his father in Dean. Ergo, as he was in a huge huge rage he pulled that trigger. He went amok. And like I said, I don't think that police officer really wanted to kill his wife, either.

(It's on my re-watch list, though). I never really connected with Jason...

Actually my first thought when Jason turned up was "Oh look! They've found her a Whitney substitute!" (Because I must be the only person in Germany who really liked Whitney and is still pissed off because they wrote him out). And don't get me started on Lana *shudders*

No need to apologize.. I'm just still curious how you're going to react.

Aaaand the verdict is in!

I didn't like The Slippery Slope too much but "Man! I feel like a woman" was really funny, surprisingly :o) Poor Dean having cramps, I could so see that. Heh I think they're really funny, as long as they go shopping and whatnot but...the rest is kind of weird. I wonder if I'd even possibly be more into Wincest actually. Got any good recs there, maybe? *sheepish grin*

I also keep wondering if you would be interested to attend one of our sleepover/weekend meetings

Oooooh? Heh that feels like being invited to a secret....sisterhood or something :o) But yes, definitely!

And I think you would fit right in *g*

*bites lip* You think so? Even though I only watch like - three shows, have never seen Babylon 5 AND still kind of like Lost? (Just making sure ;o) )

Mainz eh? I think I could handle that ;o)

Really, you didn't download anything?

but I assumed they were good friends, you just... you can really see it on screen. They just work as a team if you see what I mean.

Yes : ) (If you ever want to the touch RPS, tell me *g*)

Well let me guess YOUR answer to that :p

*looks innocently*

Or deep down in his heart with Dean is the only place where he feels safe now... (Overinterpreting? ME? *g*)

LOL! For not being a slasher, you certainly think like one ; )

He was kind of posessed.

No, he *wasn't*. And that's the crux. Possession means somebody would have had control, but it was still Sam.

And like I said, I don't think that police officer really wanted to kill his wife, either.

Since we know next to nothing about those two, it doesn't really make sense to discuss this, I think.

(Because I must be the only person in Germany who really liked Whitney and is still pissed off because they wrote him out).

LOL! I still think he has fans. I found him kinda lame for a long time... and once he grew on me, he left the show.

I didn't like The Slippery Slope too much but "Man! I feel like a woman" was really funny, surprisingly :o)

There's a sequel popping up right now...
Personally, I liked Opportunistic Lover best of those three.

Poor Dean having cramps, I could so see that. Heh I think they're really funny, as long as they go shopping

see? Told you so *g*

and whatnot but...the rest is kind of weird.

LOL! Yes, I can see why.

I wonder if I'd even possibly be more into Wincest actually. Got any good recs there, maybe? *sheepish grin*

Umm.. yeah. I'm just not sure which one to give you *g*

Oooooh? Heh that feels like being invited to a secret....sisterhood or something :o)

It's more like meeting a lot of insane people *g*

But yes, definitely!

Really, you didn't download anything?


I started watching about - 10 days ago or something? And then I downloaded all Doctor Who eps so I kind of - didn't :o) But seems like I should. OMG I think I'll be getting a new RPS obsession.

If you ever want to the touch RPS, tell me *g*)

*polite subtle cough*

Really I have no problem with RPS. Actualy I read more RPS than FPS. The only thing I have a problem with is RP Het...because the line between what is fictional and what not isn't that clear anymore. And it's boring :o)

For not being a slasher, you certainly think like one ; )

Heh I have the brains but not the heart! :o)

No, he *wasn't*. And that's the crux. Possession means somebody would have had control, but it was still Sam.


But he was like some kind of insane version of Sam - so...kind of... not really himself?

and once he grew on me, he left the show.


I heard he was written out of the show because the Clanas kept whining. Can I say FUCKWITS? :o) Seriously, apart from Lex Whitney *could* have been the most interesting character there. Once he turned into someone with problems and fears he really got potential.

Meeting insane people sounds good :O)

LOL! RPS will probably always be a "subfandom" to me. (And well, the Padackles RPS fandom is still really small...)

*g* that what people say about RPS, too.

I heard he was written out of the show because the Clanas kept whining. Can I say FUCKWITS? :o)

Really? Does that make any sense? I mean they couldn't have done Clana that early on the show anyway. How idiotic.

Yeah, at least he wasn't as dumb as Clark constantly proves to be.

Yeah but to me there's still a difference. I mean, we know they're not actually gay, right? So it's clearly fictional. RP Het is not because... well, they're straight? :O)

At least that's what my brother says and is the biggest SV fan I know. And you forgot, Clanas don't care for teh plot they only care for OMG TEH TWU LUV so they can identify with Lana and dream of shagging being with Clark.

Yeah, at least he wasn't as dumb as Clark constantly proves to be.

Yeah and he got real problems not the OMGWTF I'M DIFFERENT I CAN'T HANDLE SUPER POWERS issues...

*cough*
Actually, I'm not sure they're not gay. How can you tell?
And some of them *certainly* are gay or bi - and just don't admit to it.
I mean: Keanu Reeves = bi. Tom Cruise = at least bi, certainly gay (apparently he a) had sex with some male porn star and b) the lead singer from Matchbox 20 - and then Katie Holmes suddenly turned up - how convenient *g*). George Clooney = quite probably gay (at least he's living with a man... and a pig *g*).


btw, I'm not home for the next few days, so answering might be slow... just that you know.

Okay let's put it this way: they're officially not?

Oh I didn't know that about Tom Cruise, Keanu and George Clooney - I guess I'm just not a gossip whore *lol* Anyway...

...oh well. I'll admit it. I like RPS. I'm a bad girl. :p

hi!

*is back for 48 hours*

...oh well. I'll admit it. I like RPS. I'm a bad girl. :p

I like it, but I don't think it will ever really be a main fandom for me. It's just that charactization is really a problem - and the plots are kinda limited.

Did you read the Padackles RPS story, btw? Or anything SN for the matter? *g*

Oh, good. I was afraid I'd be the one always cutting in with "But in Harry Potter..."

Nah, it's not that bad. I have a couple of fandoms, really. Like Buffy, Angel, Lost, SPN, Doctor Who, HP, LOTR. I just don't dowload as many shows as you guys do :o)
