Conclusion: This episode was BORING. Apparently there is little to no plot anymore.
I am becoming increasingly disappointed with the visuals, as well. If anything we always had original plots and crazy awesome sets. Not anymore.

As to facilitate the non-procrastination of posting these entries, I'm not even going to expand on them. I'll do a quick once over. But I just don't have time to do any deep review like I would like. *sigh*. So, onward:

Don't get me wrong. I've been a proponent for Supernatural forever. I was all about the postcards, petitions, etc. But here is a very critical review in the form of notes I took during the show of episode 3.01 "The Magnificent Seven". I love Supernatural, but I don't like where it's going. But I'm giving it a chance. So here are my thoughts, throughout the episode. Be aware that I'm seriously like a crack addled chimp and found amusement in odd things and it reads more humor than serious business. Though I totally mean it all.

So, my massive fail seems to continue. I missed a class last Monday. Seems like it wouldn't have been a big deal because it was the third class, but the professor didn't even bother to show up for the first two. So I was cool with missing it. Well, it meets twice a week, Monday's and Wednesdays. Wednesday I get to class and it turns out that he had assigned a freakin' paper to be handed in right then, and the syllabus clearly states "No Makeup/Late work, unless you talk to him prior". So I'm graciously just kind of yell at myself, mumble a few choice words under my breathe and take it. I e-mail him this weekend to ask an unrelated question and he responds and says I can go ahead and do the assignment. Awesome right? Kinda. Because now I have a paper due by this afternoon and I don't know what the HELL it's supposed to be on. So what's this mean? It means skipping my morning classes to catch up. It also means B.S.ing a paper that I don't even know what it's supposed to be on. The class is a Research Methods and Theory course for Psychology. It's supposed to be one-page, this I know. I'm ASSUMING that it's just supposed to be a standard paper on a Psychological Journal Article. I'm going to stick with the trusty Who, What, When Where, Why. Hopefully, I won't dig myself a bigger hole. Or better yet, I won't hit a water main line and drown myself in said hole.
It takes me forever to find a decent article. I finally decide on this through the American Psychological Association titled 'Virtual Driving and Risk Taking: Do Racing Games Increase Risk-Taking Cognitions, Affect, and Behaviors?'. Sounds interesting enough, considering I just spent the entire night studying and writing out words in phonetics and am quite prepared to shoot myself in the head. And so I'm reading this article. It's a total of ten pages, that's awesome considering the source. But the very first citation goes to, get this, Wikipedia. Hell, there goes all of this articles credentials right there. Sure, I use Wikipedia, but this is an APA article. That. Cited. Wikipedia. Oh, God. Just Breath. I'm going to write this out, pretend it never happened and move on.
And for my own sake, I'm going to post the comments I wrote out based on Bela/Ruby. Why? Because I want to have a central place to keep them and know what I said so that I can put my foot in my mouth/prove my 'uber awesomeness' or just for posterity.

Okay. So, I finally decided to stop being lazy and post some of the icons/avatars I've made. I made these during my "Figure out how the hell to my icons/ avatars" summer vacation.
Feedback, please!!!!

Okay. So I was thinking about how Dean can't get out of his deal with the Crossroads Demon because Sam will drop dead. I don't know if people have mentioned this, but what if Sam technically does die. But doesn't necessarily stay dead. They could easily pull one of those "HOLY SHIT, HE'S NOT BREATHING/ HOLY STAT, HE'S FLATLINING / HOLY FUCK, YOU TOTALLY JUST GOT HIT BY A CAR". And then be brought back shock paddles/CPR/lightning/the love of Dean/blahblahblah. So since Sam DOES die, could Dean break the deal? Maybe actually somehow break it WHILE Sam is "dead/out/asleep"?
I dunno, I'm just typing out a constant stream of thought.

It recently came to my attention that a grave error has been made. Here we are more than halfway through 2007 and to the best of my knowledge there has been no Impala Birthday Celebration.
Now, regularly a birthday comes and goes with little celebration, but when it's such a landmark as 40, well we just have to celebrate.
40 is that commonly accepted entry into middle age. Your kids are growing up. Things are really starting to slip, dent, and sag. You don't seem to get as much mileage as you used to. You may have had some "work" done. And you just aren't as popular as you once were. There is also the usually much anticipated down hill slide to retirement.
But even though she's getting older, we all still love her all the more.
Happy Birthday, Metallicar!

Having seen the entire Firefly series multiple times and viewing all of the Supernatural
episodes to date, I have come to the conclusion that they are essentially the exact same
show with only a few key differences. Let me show you to my evidence locker...

Here is the official AIM conversation for "Folsom Prison Blues" between
demonessjo and myself.
Enjoy.
Note: It doesn't start until 7 minutes in because I suck and missed the beginning.

Okay. So I was going through pictures that have recently been posted on Supernatural.tv of the Folsom Prison Blues Screenshots. And I noticed some things and randomly decided to calculate (completely though estimation) how much Dean's income from hustling will fluctuate.
I don't particularly think it's spoilery. Unless you know NOTHING about this episode (i.e., what the summery is).

Okay. Okay. Now. Some of you may know.... but this picture came out from the season finale (pt. 1)... so it's like the season finale prequel

Okay. So... here is my immediately meta. That occured sometime after the freaking out, squealing, orgasming, crying, and/or licking.
Oh. And for the record. I am, as is my thing, with season finales, am calling it. I always call what the big thing will be on Veronica Mars and Battlestar Galactica. And more often than not. I am right. In fact. I think I've always been right.

Author: Dementedjen
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Dean/Sam
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2750
Summary: Does love ever really change? Or is it just the relationships that change? When two people meet and become friends and then lovers did their love change? Or did their souls recognize each other and love each other as mates from the very beginning and it is the human perception of love that forces the evolution into lovers? When Sam and Dean discovered their love for each other, Dean had to wonder if he had always loved his Sammy like this... ever since he met him.
Note: Yeah. So. I like writing schmoopy happy things with little to know dialogue. And if you notice. There is only one word of dialogue in this entire one-shot. *is oddly proud*
Disclaimer: Of course you know it's not mine.

Okay. So here's my jimmied-up 30 minute fanfic that I wrote when I was bored and in the process of skipping class. So. Here it is. I will be writing and releasing quite a lot of fic this week. Including a series continuation to my one-shot fic '72'. And then at some point I will be releasing a crack!fic I've been co-writing with
demonessjo titled "Sam and Dean Save Africa". My fanfiction writing output will be a veritable explosion in the coming week(s).

JARED PADALECKI: Yeah. I think as far as -- I think
it was pretty effortless. I don't think -- it was
probably by design of these guys. We're pretty
similar. We have similar interests and similar
hobbies, and we're both pretty laid-back guys. We
take our work very seriously. We like to work on our
characters and like to have a good time and like to
keep the mood on the set fun. And we just got -- we
just clicked. Like I've definitely worked with my
share of people -- and I'm sure he has too -- that I'm
just like, "Oh, man, I'm going to work again. I've
just got to keep my tongue in my mouth and don't say
anything that's going to come back to bite me or just
shut my mouth and do my work." But we have a great
time. We have a fantastic crew up in Vancouver, and
it's just been pretty organic.
author's note: I think that may be a type-o. Everyone knows it's orgasmic, not organic.
JENSEN ACKLES: I think it's also just the common love
we share for the show. We really look out for each
other when we're working with guest directors or
whatnot. And I think that it's just that we truly
want this to be a great program. So when we're
working, if I see something that he's doing or he sees
something that I'm doing, there's this, you know, very
open relationship. We're able to talk to each other
be like, "Hey, let's do this. Let's lock this down.
Let's get this going. I think we're missing a beat
here." So it's really neat to have that relationship
with your costar.
