Life, the universe...and just about anything else

Not really a spam, but these are two of the best images I've seen from PaleyFest. Wowza.  

           

In honor of the season: Groundhog Day, 2 February. And yeah, I know it's only 1 February--I'm being proactive here.  A delicious SPN fic from Big Pink that holds humor, angst, Sammy goodness and Dean whump. My kind of fic, plus it has groundhogs, fer cryin' out loud. Find the link to the pdf file here: 

6 more weeks of winter...

Is that a yellow thing a tooth??

The SPN ep 'Swan Song' was incredibly sad for me in several ways, but I think the thing that I kept coming back to was the fact that Dean broke the first seal. As in 'the righteous man who begins it, is the only one who can end it '. So SS left me a little dry despite the sadness of the brothers being torn apart, because really--weren't they getting torn apart for a couple of seasons already?

Here's my theory: Dean did end it. In a way, anyhow. He left those toy soldiers in the arm of the door in the backseat, and those leggos or whatever, in the front vents. They represented family to him so he even put them back after the Impala was totaled way back when.

Sam saw the toy soldiers through the window as he was beating the crap out of Dean--and stopped. Then the wonderful brother montage--sigh.  Sam got enough strength to slap down Lucy just enough to open the gate and fall into it.

Anyway that's my theory. Crazy or not.

Have been debating on the similarities between the men of Lancer and the men of Supernatural. Not an original thought, I came across a post a while back. But now I find myself comparing the two. Aside from the fact both sets are brothers (and in Lancer, half-brothers) I'm not seeing a whole lot of sameness. I think it's the time period. Westerns simply do not allow for emoting to the point of one male hugging another, even brothers.

Or was it the television script writing back in the '70's vs today's script writing, regardless of the timeframe set for each show? 

And yet I find myself falling into a pattern of writing the characters as if they were the same. Hmmm.....
