Buffy Mention du Jour: I watched "The Body" and "Forever". "The Body" is one of those episodes that makes me feel like it's the first time I watch it. No matter how many times I actually did in the past. I don't think it'll ever leave me cold; it makes me ache so much. And the ending of "Forever" will always freak me out and breaks my heart...

Also watching "Forever" made me think of "Bargaining" and in turn those episodes led me to think about SPN, that is "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" and "All Hell Breaks Loose II".

I mean, I keep wondering what is actual foreshadowing and what's just, you know, a writer deciding to write about one particular thing in an episode and then, later on, deciding to do something else in another season and then going "dude! I think I just created retrospective foreshadowing! I iz so smrt!"

Unrelated. I got paid today! Money! In my bank account! Even better yet, money that I earned, as opposed to benefits. Which is just awesome :-) Though I keep thinking it's ironical that I find a job that pays nicely and it's one I can't keep. But still, I got three weeks - might get a fourth one, too - instead of just one, so I'm still happy about it :-)

Something else that makes me happy: new New Amsterdam for me tomorrow \o/ What new revelation will this episode bring, I wonder? And considering how 1x03 ended, I'm hoping for some nice angsty!John :-) With, hopefully, Omar being all concerned about him and everything.

Oh "The Body"...the choice to have no music in that entire episode is so unbelieveably effective and chilling. Makes me want to start watching again from the beginning.

It truly is, that was a streak of genius. It made things so much more intense and so real, scarily and painfully real...

I wonder if I could watch that episode if I'd lost my mother, actually.

Anyway *shivers*
