After a summer (cough) I mean winter of catching up on TV and series, I am pleasantly surprised to find myself on the eve of Supernatural Season 5 \o/ calm, cool and collected (with a growing sidebar of excitement). Why? How is this possible?

Well, first and foremost, Lucifer Rising (in my opinion) wasn't the most nailbiting cliffhanger finale in SPN history, and wanting to remain as unspoiled on speculation as possible, I have read NO big_bang or summergen fic until now. So a relatively SPN-free summer has resulted in the following 2 benefits:

1. I am a blank excited slate for SPN 5 and have already implemented a lock down on new fic and reviews
2. I have caught up on a suprising number of 'other' TV series, and found new realms of fic

( TV Ruminations and More )

Todd the Wraith is Alistair???

No friggin' way! (insert here much exclaimation marks and question marks)

I may have a tendency to watch tv series after the fact and not really pay attention to anything besides spn in the here and now but having watched SGA for the first time recently and now rewatching it... and finding out that Todd is Alistair! is awesome. Like Tony and Abby are awesome beyond on NCIS but seeing the season finale of NCIS Season 2, sucks!

Hated Sunday (SGA) too...

sigh

Well I can honestly say that this metaphoric time last year, on the eve of SPN 3 season finale, I was a lot more 'concerned' about what may unfold in said episode. That of course was due to the looming question of will Dean go to Hell or will Sam save him.

AND now, here on the even of Season 4 finale, I can happily say to be operating at a mucher lower level of anxiety, mostly because this episode is a morass of unknowns. I am intensely keen to find out what happens, yet at the same time reluctant to wrap another season and be faced with another break. sigh.

So bring it! I want to see... and have resolution. and then rewatch seasons 1 to 4. :)

I can't believe that its that time of the year again where I am anxiously waiting for the concluding episodes of SPN. Was it really a year ago that No Rest for the Wicked loomed before us?

( ponderings )

I still have yet to see 4.16 and am trying desperately to resist the urge to read people's reviews and reactions and so far suceeding, but seriously, I hate waiting.

And in other news, Season 1 Boys are awesome. Rewatched the first 3 episodes and its so much lighter and amusing... even though Sam's hair annoys me and there are moppets but still, Season 1 was great. :)

So, at last SPN hiatus is over. Hurrah. Huzzah ... times many.

( (rest) )

I cannot believe I sqaundered 4 hours of my life watching the epic disaster that was the Golden Globes.

Mickey Rourke?? Seriously!!!! (I invoke a stream of Grey's Anatomy flashbacks in the name of Seriously???)

My theroy on handsome men winning mainstream awards holds true. Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Leo di Caprio will only win an Oscar or Globe when they are old and feeble (and no longer handsome) or if they die.

Heath Ledger (totally deserved it) only proves my point.

and as much as I like Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep should have got it for Mama Mia. but I am still flabbergasted... Mickey Rourke.... MICKEY ROURKE....

Gah!

I LOVE finding new fic... well written gems that just flabbergast me with wonderment and delight. I get all giggly and content when I stumble upon these awesome constructions of words and characters.

Bad fic saddens me. especially bad fic with lots of reviews and comments... cos' that's just sad and a continued detriment to the standard of literary wonderment. 

So fic rec:

Accidental Documentaries by tassos

and

Hozho by LadyVic on FFnet.

So:

Season 3 of Supernatural is both awesome and depressing. ( (rest) )

Ok, so the spn/smallville verse is still being devoured despite poor Chloe being turned into a Mary Sue, but its done well enough that I can grin and bear it... the writing is still pretty darn good.

However, and it is a weird thought, I warrant, the main purpose of this little entry is to ruminate on the acting skills of Messers Ackles and Padalecki. ( (rest) )

So yeah, one (single) entry does not a journal make.

I have semi-composed an oodle of entries and just never actually put finger to keyboard. So goal 1. of the morning was pay the rent. Goal 2 was make an entry - an actual entry - on the live journal especially after the facepalm moment last night.

Yep, i am reading a lovely new (for me) crossoververse of Spn and am thinking that this writer is prettydarngood 'cept for the fact that she is only writing one shots that really really should be multi-chaps and i am wondering if I am missing something here... and it turns out that I am!

In my defense the 'follow here to additional chappies' links were at the top of the fic in the header and i just ignore that usually.... sigh. so yeah, i sat until the wee hours of the morning reading the first chapters of a rather large number of spn/smallville stories. Sigh.

Blind? Yes.

But I also discovered a new writer on ffnet (new to me) - Psychochick1 - she has some AWESOME oneshots and some pretty heart wrenching stuff too... and if i knew how to do the link think to her profile page, i would.


Right off to read more fic.
