So EW picked their top 15 favourite SPN episodes, and while their list is really not half bad (Swan Song though? Really? That episode was so bad, I actually thought I'd stop watching the new season after it), I've decided to make my own list of 20 favourites plus extra awards for episodes with specific scenes/themes I really liked. BECAUSE I CAN. :D

( My favourite 20 Supernatural episodes! (not dial-up friendly. GIFS/PICS ALERT) )

And now, if you'll excuse me, instead of watching this season's premiere, I have to go and see Alice In Chains in MSG, because my sister's making me. GRRRRRRRR.

Things that are making me happy today:

1. GIP

2. I re-watched Jump The Shark, and realized that not only Dean and Sam are COSMIC LEVELS OF PRETTY, but the episode had unforseen past episode callbacks that I didn't catch the first time!

*SCREAMS*

*FAINTS*

YOU GUYS, I THINK I SEE A DUDE AND HIS THREE AMIGOS.

ETA: I was rightly told to warn you guys for SPOILERS (SOME PEOPLE SAY EPIC) in the article.

ETA 2: Also, spoilers in the comments.

First of all, happy birthday ignited! You, my friend, are a wonder of wonders, full of crack and awesome and did I mention CRACK? ILU! (fic is forthcoming) <33333

Secondly, rhythmsextion asked me things in the five things meme:

( 1. J2 )

( 2. Misha Collins )

( 3. Jon Stewart and The Daily Show )

( 4. House )

( 5. Monty Python )

I know that in the past I've ranted about the way Entertainment Weekly was treating Supernatural. You know, it's a cult show a-la Buffy in terms of fandom with many many references and ties to pop culture both on and off set, and yet EW was treating it like it was, I dunno, Two and a Half Men. And whenever it was even deigning to mention SPN, it was always very annoyingly/petulantly/childishly done.

However, in this week's EW, I'm counting five separate mentions of SPN, and that's without F13 and Watchmen. There's the jacket, an Ausiello "spoiler", the bit (finally) about J2 both making horror movies and a rec, wait for it, for a re-run. We even have an attractive photo of SamnDean this time on Ausiello! Gasp and shock.

Congratulations, Entertainment Weekly, for finally graduating into Sophomore year in life college.

The Dark Knight will be re-released in theaters in January, probably also on IMAX.
FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN, WARNER BROTHERS. FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN.

CAN I HAS MY IMAX TICKET NAO PLZ?

Don't front. You wanna see that movie again on IMAX too. IT WAS THAT AWESOME.

Also, apparently there will be a FAN-BASED OSCAR CAMPAIGN FOR THIS MOVIE. Not even the Lord of the Rings trilogy got this much of a royal treatment from its fanbase. Heath Ledger had better get that damn Oscar.

ETA: THAT'S ENOUGH, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY.

One 50-year-old woman asked the director what she thought it was about Pattinson's Edward that made women of all ages swoon. A Twilight mom in the audience shouted, ''He's gentlemanly and caring and unattainable and mysterious all at the same time!'' Hardwicke laughed and shrugged her shoulders. She said that when she brought her 70-year-old mother to the set she asked her mom if she'd like to meet Pattinson and his costar, Kristen Stewart. To which her mom promptly replied: ''Just Rob.''

Okay. This touches serious, serious wank territory. Because on one hand, there were quite a few moms in the Harry Potter fandom who adored Daniel Radcliffe when he was HALF of RPattz's age, and yet wrote HP smut. But, I dunno, it was FICTIONAL (and Harry was older too in the fics). They didn't actually MACK on the poor guy IN PUBLIC. This in all honesty makes my skin crawl and hope RPattz has some strong medication for his nerves.

Call me a bitch, but even though "Entertainment Weekly" put SPN on their their Must List, I'm still not happy.

I'm not happy, because it was in the readers' choice slot, which is the one with the actual finger on the pulse on one hand, but also the one the magazine seemingly goes condescendingly "yeah, yeah alright" and puts on the list, like the readers are retarded. I'm not happy because they pasted in that choice the fugliest promo pic they could possibly find from the first season of Jared alone. And in light of the new, extremely HOT promo pics we now have, it looks like it was a deliberate choice.

Grow up, EW. You're acting like a girl who got dumped by her boyfriend for another chick, and instead of moving on, she looks at the new girl and goes "SO not hotter than me". GROW. UP.

That's all.

1. Do you know why Kripke says these kinds of things? (re: recurring female roles in SPN are like, well, recurring vampire roles in Buffy except for Spike and Angel)
Because Kripke likes to pretend he can actually create a recurring female role in SPN that he LIKES. 99% of the time, the females in SPN SUCK. They really do. They're whiny, annoying and overly stereotypical. And it seems that whenever they actually DON'T suck, Kripke seems to have a seizure of some sort that makes him go "AKJALDADLKSLAKAD NO. FEMALES. ASLDJSDLASJDLAJDALDA", and they're all GONE. He can't deal with the reality of girls in "Supernatural".

2. And guess what? We can't either. Anyone in here who actually hopes to see Dean and Sam settled with wives and kids, taking them to see the world's second biggest ball of yarn in the Impala, please raise your delusional little hand. Fangirly declarations of the "they belong to US" type aside, do you honestly believe the Winchesters are actually made to be family guys? Seriously? After all of their perfect freakin' futures were ruined in the PILOT? Come the fuck on. Sam and Dean were written in a specific way, and set in specific circumstances so they can never have that EXACTLY. They'll never have wives, kids or the white picket fence, and that was glaringly obvious in WIAWSNB. So you know what? Females in SPN are doomed to be fleeting things, and not particularly of the romantic type.

3. By the way, Dean's repeating bouts of misogynism and Sam's bouts of, well, craziness and obsession do not make for perfect boyfriend material, much less husband and family man. Yeah, so they're hot. Guess what? So are many other men out there who will also never end up having families either because they're way too screwed up in the head, and/or their lives don't allow it.

4. Oh yeah, and did I mention Jared and Jensen don't think Dean and Sam will ever have girlfriends? Yeah. Totally gay.

5. And as for Mark Ausiello, I could swear that guy has Wincest on his hard drive, or he writes some. I could swear.

So please, stop bitching whenever there's discussion about female characters, because at the end of the day, everyone disagrees and then there's wank and then people don't write porn. And I don't know about you, but I happen to like the porn. So there.

From Ew.com, the Comic Con panel coverage: 'and even the cast of The CW's Supernatural were greeted like rock stars'

Dear Adam B. Vary,

1. Clearly you have never been to a "Supernatural" panel before in your life. This is completely standard decibel protocol whenever Jared, Jensen or both are in the room with Teh Fangirls.

2. You make it sound like two lost sons of the Hunchback of Notre Dame were hobbling into the room, eyeing everyone suspiciously before launching into the country remix version of Pink Floyd's "Sanctuary", instead of, you know, two of the hottest men on television who together make one of the best duos on television (which even your esteemed colleagues can't ignore) were strutting into the room in tight jeans, black shirts and awesome hair.

Plz to be rectifying this.

Yours in very Dean Winchester-vs.-Ghostfacers disdain,

Moonay
