annundrielI didn't mean for it to be a week between posts. Whoops.
- Last Monday I saw the place I will be house-sitting the week of Thanksgiving. It's really out there in the middle of nowhere. I'm not too worried and, yea, they have internet! But I am also taking care of their 24 horses. I...am a little nervous about that, but mostly pretty calm.
- Got my hair cut. Woo. was going to dye it something darker, but once it was cut the hairdresser really liked the way it was red on top and dark on the bottom, so we're leaving it. My hair could use the break anyway.
- Finished watching Sherlock. LOVED IT. Am even fine with the way it ended, and would have been fine had that been the end. Sad it was over, sure, but okay with how it was over. But I like the way Angel ended, so I am a giant freak like that.
I have little ficlets, but I very much doubt they will ever see the light of day. They're fulfilling a need I have, though, so they're not wasted.

Supernatural - "All Dogs Go to Heaven"
No matter how I may have sounded last night, I did not actually hate this episode. I did, however, find the editing poorly done (very choppy) and the overall plot dull. Save for Dean with the rifle. You can blame that on Resident Evil 4.
Okay, I lied, I actually found the whole middle section pretty good, especially the scene where Dean and Sam interrogated the family dog. Possibly because we finally got into something meaty? Instead of it just being: bad thing happens, we must investigate this thing, investigate, Sam isn't Sam, blah.
Speaking of Sam isn't Sam...I'm not sure what SPN thinks a soul is for. I mean, I understand Sam being a better hunter, not feeling anything, etc. but sleeping? Not needing to sleep? What the hell does that have to do with being soulless? I can maybe understand it being connected to dreaming, since dreaming helps you work through issues and events, but full-on not sleeping because you apparently physically don't need it?
How does that make any sense?
Anyway. I guess you could say I got more interested once I realized the comparison they were making between Lucky with his family and Dean with Lisa and Ben. Except Dean isn't part of a sleeper cell. (OR IS HE? DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN.) Dean wants what's best for Lisa and Ben, he wants to protect them, but in the end that only brings more horror and Dean can't stay.
Except that Dean is not a monster.
I wish everything weren't always so black and white on this show. "You can either have this, or that, but not both, never both."
Also, hi, Margot Kidder's niece. Wow, can you really see they are related.

Yeah, I don't get that part either.

Me too. I mean working with demons and angels and various monsters, you would think the characters would learn the world is various shades of gray. It would seem like a natural character progression but maybe that's just me.

Date: 2010-11-17 07:51 am (UTC)Oh, here! We have pin-pointed the problem. There should be natural character progression, but because this is TV and because this is SPN...there's not.
Sure, there's some. But not on this particular subject.

I love Sherlock too. I did love that cliffhanger ending as well.

It's funny, the only reason Sherlock's cliffhanger gets me now is because I now know there will be more. Had I been watching and that had been it...that's a pretty good way to send them off I think...Sherlock and John and Moriarty, perpetually in some precarious sort of balance.

That would have been cool. All things considered I'm glad it's coming back for another series, especially if the writing stays as good as it was in the first series.
