New family in the neighbourhood...

[castalie]

I watched Supernatural yesterday and was pleasantly surprised as it was pretty cool. It's like a new version of Poltergeist: the Legacy, like say, P:TL On The Road without the Legacy itself, granted, and of course without Derek Rayne, for which we all rejoice. I'm quite happy with the brothers too and really enjoyed how Sam, ie Little Brother, is so not the clueless tag along that he could have been - he's strong and stubborn and competent and he pushes Dean, ie Big Brother, as much as Dean pushes him and isn't beyond manhandling him either and I have to agree with Dean, they make one hell of a good team. And well, it doesn't hurt that they also make one hell of a pretty team, too *cough*

I was a bit disappointed by the ending though because I thought it was kinda, I don't know, easy maybe that Jess - that was her name, btw? - got killed like that. I think I wanted more conflicted feelings about Sam joining his brother on the Crusade. I mean, obviously Sam had to join Dean - or else hi, the series would have had one episode which er, not so good - but I wanted him to do it against his will... here, yeah okay he's still doing it against his will in the sense that it was not what he wanted, but thing is he's now seeking revenge for his girlfriend's death, the conflict shifted. So I was a bit disappointed by what I almost saw as a cope out. Then again, okay why not - if The Big Bad Thing That Killed Their Mom was stupid enough to target Sam directly and make him join his brother, thus a) making the team stronger and b) turning Sam into a vengeful angel, I guess The BBT had their reasons *shrug* And it supposedly makes the whole thing more personal and all, I get that so I won't mention it anymore, promise :-)

Now the real question is how long exactly it'll take me to slash the brothers *snicker*

I also think I'll download the second episode next week *nodnod*

Btw, did you visit the site for the series? I did cause I wanted to make sure that daddy!Winchester was who I thought he was - he looked like Dr Marcase from Burning Zone to me but since it's been ages since I watched that series, I wasn't 100% sure - and the site is insane! It's like playing a game... if you have time to spare you can play around and something cool is that you can read daddy!Winchester's diary. Twas fun. In particulr as you read the entries following mommy!Winchester's death. Plus you have other cool stuff inside.

I need to download Bones now and I'm getting behind in my Prison Break download too - boy, a fangirl's work is never done, is it? *g*

ETA: I love LJ so so fucking much. Why? *points right* supernatu_icons. And the comm went live in July. Why wait for the good stuff, right?

It was Dr Marcase, slightly older and kinda... er, sturdier but it was him. I wish they would repeat this series - Burning Zone - here. I loved it. At least the first half before they kicked out Marcase and the Japanese doc. Marcase was so cool. And he suffered so nicely! Do you remember the ep where he had to pretend to have a terminal disease? Yay! :) Talk about h/c!

I tried to find BZ on the net so that I could download it but zip, nada! :( That really pissed me off! :/

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I knew it! I loved Dr Marcase *happy sigh* And I'm so seconding the repeat thing because I think they aired BZ only once here and I wouldn't say no to watching it again. At least the first half like you said because I didn't see the point without my woobie! Cause pfew did the man suffer beautifully *nodnod*

I'm not surprised you didn't find any torrent or any kind of file re: Burning Zone *sigh*

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I think they aired BZ only once here

Looks like I was lucky then. I saw it once in the Czech TV and twice in the German TV and have some of the best eps on tape. The firs one - the EBOLA plate on Marcase car made me snicker - then the one where he had to pretend he is terminally sick and then the one where they used him for the experiment with afterlife. The best eps! :)

And you are right, when they kicked him out, I stopped watching. The second guy was really blah :(

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The EBOLA on the car was funny yeah lol Kinda told the story of the character all on itself, didn't it? *g*

And I loved the moment when he was sick and seeing all those things from his past - great angst!

I almost felt bad for the other guy but it didn't work. Also, I remember watching that episode and I had no idea what the hell had happened and I kept waiting for my guy to appear... talk about a trauma. At least now with internet, you know beforehand what is going to happen if you want to - spares you the trauma lol

I was a bit disappointed by the ending though because I thought it was kinda, I don't know, easy maybe that Jess - that was her name, btw? - got killed like that.

See, what I started thinking is that whatever it is, it has something to do with Sam in particular, and the women he's close to. In the beginning, the lights first started fritzing in Sam's room and presumably no where else since nobody else noticed. Then his mother was killed when she went into his room. Jess was killed when Sam got home, and I don't think it was any coincidence that it happened right after Sam got reinvolved in the supernatural stuff.

So I think on the surface it could look too easy, but I also think there's plenty of potential there for us to find out that there is other stuff going on and that's why it happened the way it did. It will be the long arc that we only get hints and glimpses of now and then, like Mulder's quest for his sister was on the X-Files.

PS: Dean is gorgeous.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I like your theory much better *nodnod* But okay - I'm thinking, her mother seemed to have been killed for a reason. As in, she might have wanted to save Dean from The Man In Black, or didn't even have time to do so but something happened in that bedroom anyway. And here, when Jess was killed... he wasn't even there at the time, he was only coming home. I like your idea that Jess' death might have something to do with his joining his brother again, but technically he wasn't going to get involved anymore since it was clear he was trying to cope out entirely from the whole thing. His "I might join you later" didn't sound really convincing, know what I mean?

So there's something missing here to me and eek I'm curious, alright lol I'm really curious to know more - and since we're just one episode into the season, I know I'll have to be patient lol - about the whys because it's like there's a broken link or something.

PS: I totally second your PS.

I missed about the first five or ten minutes of Supernatural but I think it's going to be an awesome series.

I went to the site, and it is so cool. I tried to access Hunter's blog but I can't seem to figure out the login name and password. Heh.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Seriously? You missed the first five/ten minutes of the episode? Cause er, that was kinda important... as in important.

I was frustrated at first when I went to the site - I was like "dude! All I want is a fucking name, I don't wanna play around!" then I did play around and I was all "ohhh shiny!" I'm easy, sometimes *g*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

I've just watched the pilot and the boys are so slashable! I love the dynamic between them - the way they manhandle each other *g* - and they are gorgeous. And Dean's accent is so sexy!
Oh, and I liked the story too.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

They are! So very slashable, alright! Dunno if it's because Don/Charlie opened the gate or something but seriously! They're so doing it... or so wanting to be doing it. Someone must help them omg!

Hopefully the next episodes will hold my interest like the pilot did *fingers crossed*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

They're so doing it... or so wanting to be doing it. Someone must help them omg!
Absolutely! That much sexual tension can't be healthy! *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That much sexual tension can't be healthy.

I couldn't have said it better! So we would do them a favour if we made them do each other *eg*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

*nodsnods*
Et puis, on fait vraiment ça pour eux. C'est pas comme si on avait un quelconque intérêt là-dedans... *bg*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Exactement! Nous à la limite, on se forecerait presque, hein, parce que vraiment... quel intérêt pour nous?

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Oui, là, y'a vraiment pas d'intérêt pour nous! C'est pas comme si ça nous ferait quoi que ce soit s'ils se sautaient dessus et se mettaient à s'embrasser et se caresser, à enlever leur vêtements...
Qu'est-ce qu'on ferait pas pour leur bonheur... *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Tu m'étonnes! Comme si on pouvait apprécier l'image de ces deux frangins en train de se murmurer plein de trucs sexy à l'oreille, se touchant avec plus d'instance pendant que l'un pénètre l'autre, chacun tenant l'autre serré contre son corps, sentant la chaleur de l'autre l'envahir...

Nous tout ça, ça nous ennuierait presque! D'ailleurs, j'ai failli m'endormir en écrivant ce commentaire - mais parce que je suis généreuse et pense toujours aux autres, j'ai quand même continué jusqu'au bout!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Wow! Quel courage! Je t'admire... Ca a tellement dû te coûter d'écrire ce commentaire. D'ailleurs, t'imagine pas à quel point ça m'a coûté de le lire!

Et puis, leurs gémissements, leurs soupirs de plaisir, les mots tendres et sexy qu'ils se murmurent à l'oreille me donneraient presque la migraine. Je pense qu'il vaudrait mieux en bailloner un, d'ailleurs.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Je crois que je suis pas la seule à avoir du courage parce que regarde moi ça! Tu continues malgré ce que ça te coûte. Je suis heureuse d'avoir des gens comme toi dans ma flist *est toute émue*

Je pensais, non seulement il faudrait en baillonner un, mais il faudrait peut-être aussi lui attache les mains? Comme ça, il serait totalement à la merci de son frère et ça ferait des caresses en moins dans l'équation. Ca pourrait peut-être nous aider.

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

On est vraiment des battantes! Les super nanas du slash!

Tout à fait! Tu sais quand ils sont sur le pont et que Dean plaque Sam contre le poteau? Je pense que ça serait le moment d'utilser les menottes sur Sam. Et je suis sûre que Dean en a une paire! Du coup, on n'aurait plus à s'occuper de Sam; on le laisserait à la mercie de Dean! Tout serait beaucoup plus simple pour nous...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Supers nanas du slash? Ca mériterait bien une icône, jt'assure lol

Mon seul problème avec ça c'est que pour le moment... je crois que je préférerais voir bottom!Dean, donc les menottes faudrait que ce soit Sam qui les utilise sur son frangin... dilemne, dilemne!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Hm, bottom!Dean? Oui, ça serait pas mal.
Ben, comme Sam est pas du genre à se laisser faire, je pense qu'il serait tout à fait capable de pousser Dean et de lui prendre les menottes. Le fait que son frère ait voulu le menotter pourrait même le motiver un peu plus!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Au début j'étais un peu désolée de voir que Dean semblait être l'alpha du duo mais il m'a pas fallu longtemps pour me rendre compte que Sam était pas du genre à se laisser faire et j'adore le fait qu'il malmène son frangin autant que Dean le malmène... et ils sont au même niveau je trouve, ce qui fait que bottom!Dean fonctionne parfaitement pour le moment - et comme là tout de suite, c'est Dean que je préfère, ça me plait bien *g*

Donc tout ça pour dire merci - parce que oui, j'aime beaucoup comment tourne ta scène là *nodnod*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Oui, ils ont une dynamique super intéressante et loin des clichés où les frères sont soit tjs en compétition, soit l'un domine l'autre. Ca tombe plutôt bien pour notre scène! *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ca tombe même super bien *eg* Et oui, j'aime beaucoup la dynamique qu'ils ont, ça promet d'être intéressant.

Hey trop fort! Je suis en train de regarder Monk là et le guest star, et ben je crois bien que c'est daddy!Winchester! J'adore. Cet acteur, je l'avais plus revu depuis son rôle dans Burning Zone, ie y a plusieurs années et là en deux semaines, boum!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Trop fort! J'adorais Burning Zone! C'était terrible cette série!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Sérieux tu regardais? Je la loupais jamais - même si techniquement, je peux pas dire qu'il s'agissait d'une bonne série.

Btw? Si tu réponds à ce commentaire, tu crois que tu pourrais ouvrir a new thread? Parce que ça devient illisible sur le LJ - j'adore ce layout, mais il pas toujours pratique :-)

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

LOL
On a complètement détruit ton lay-out!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

"On"? Tu as détruit mon layout, moi... je n'ai fait que te suivre malgré moi, évidemment. Toutes ces discussions slash en plus - ça m'a un peu gênée, j'ai tellement pas l'habitude!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Ah, oui. Evidemment, c'est ma faute... Pardon? *puppy eyes*
C'est vrai qhe c'est super osé! Et on est trop des novices! On fait vraiment preuve d'un courage impressionnant en s'aventurant dans ces trucs sombres...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

J'espère surtout que personne ne lira jamais ce qu'on a écrit. Je veux dire, on a une réputation si lisse que j'ai vraiment pas envie que d'un seul coup, on nous compare à tous ces perverts *shudder* Les trucs sombres c'est tellement pas mon truc!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Oulà, on risque de perdre notre réputation de blanches colombes!

Derek Rayne

...

*hurt* why do you hate me so much? Why bring back some repressed memories? why try to ruin everyone's day by mentioning the unmentionable?

some names should just be left unspoken, and then maybe we would be able to forget them *glares at D.R.*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry?

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

...
yeah, you know, when you put a question mark after 'I'm sorry' it kinda sounds like you're not sorry at all... Although it sounds like something Chandler might say - so yeah! *giggles*

[enigel]

*grumbles and waves IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT banner*

Yeah, I downloaded the pilot, because I don't have dozens of CDs that I haven't yet watched, and my harddisk is most definitely not choking with yet to be watched episodes of stuff... As I said, All Your Fault.

Dean is not exactly my type*, but Sam is, and I haven't watched any "ghost-story series" since Millennium and X-Files, which were a looong time ago. I'll download the second episode. (I do hope their father won't go the way of Mulder's sister, though... Or if TPTB do that, then they should at least make the Mulder&Scully of this series canon, too :D)

The way the Thing went after Jessica thus practically forcing Sam's hand... yeah, it offered an easier way out. But maybe this is what we are supposed to know about the characters - that Sam wouldn't have followed his brother if it weren't for this personal attack. He'd be a different guy if he had left Jess and the prospect of a "normal" life just on account of his father's disappearance.


*OTOH, I also disliked Mal and thought he was kind of an ass for my first episodes of Firefly, and that changed, so who knows...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*grumbles and waves IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT banner*

Dude, not that banner again! What did I do this time?

*reads* Ooooh. YAY to that banner again! I'll take full responsibilities for that one - my pleasure!

Also, technically neither Sam nor Dean are my type - or more precisely, of the two, Sam should be. Yet, I'm rooting for Dean something fierce. I guess I was able to find some of the elements I love best in a character with Dean, anyway :-)

You go and download the four episodes, mate, you do that *cheers*

But maybe this is what we are supposed to know about the characters - that Sam wouldn't have followed his brother if it weren't for this personal attack.

I guess so. Or else it was just too - easy and all.

Also, some people think Sam has something to do with both his mother and Jessica's death because, and I quote "he was there both times" but technically, he wasn't there for Jess. He only arrived when she was already glued to the ceiling, didn't he? So I mean, yeah, there's certainly one hell of a connexion with Sam - he has to be the link somehow, or an important part of it, but I can't say HE was responsible per se. What do you think?

[enigel]

I was just thinking how similar the scenes of discovering the Loved Woman on the ceiling were, which would draw a parallel between Sam and his father.

The fact that the Lurking Silhouette was hovering next to Sam's bed (back in the past) would indeed suggest that Sam was the target of the Thing (in which way remains to be seen), but she interrupted whatever it was, so she was punished. Though, in this case, the women seem rather objects than subjects, so it could be that the Thing was trying to get to the father by killing his wife.

OTOH, what the Thing accomplished was that the man became a relentless hunter of the occult. And now, in the present, this is exactly what it accomplished with Sam, too. A force that recruits its warriors by destroying their ties to the "normal" life?

This could be just worthless babble, anyway... but you asked what I thought, and I'm feeling unusually verbose after a day of mindless image-cropping for the job :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

A force that recruits its warriors by destroying their ties to the "normal" life?

I certainly like that theory better. I mean, when I saw that Big Bad Thing had killed Jessica, thus pushing Sam into going hunting and actually giving him the right motivation to do so, my first thought was "how stupid can those forces of evil be, really". So yours is more interesting *nods*
