Seconds you for Dean and Charlie being platonic life partners. There is just something about them together that makes me squee in a very brotp way. Charlie is just the friend Dean needs to embrace his inner geek (just as Benny was the friend he needed to embrace his warrior side) and, in a way, to help him recover from the trauma that was Hell and Purgatory (which, if you think about it, he's never gotten a chance to do, what with the Apocalypse/Godstiel/Leviathans to worry about) and finally accept himself for who he is.

I so agree. If the show could stay like this forever.... I'd be one happy fangirl. The only episode I've not wholeheartedly liked is "As Time Goes By" (as I think I've mentioned before). But other than that, the writing has been extremely solid. I don't think I've enjoyed the series this much since S4.....

::generally flails in agreement::

Ikr? Do want. So much. They should just have the brother/sister thing going on forever and go to cons together for the rest of eternity, can I have it? Please? This thing with Dean accepting himself AT LAST is making me so happy, seriously.

Yeah same - well, I did like ATGB but really there wasn't an episode this year that made me want to shake my head in frustration or anything like that, so if they keep on like this I'll be extra delighted :D (and I don't think I've enjoyed it this much since S5, though I really*really* enjoyed some parts of S6 - I mean Frontierland should be my favorite episode ever just based on squee levels, so I can't say much, but I generally didn't like the show as much as I am right now in a long time SO I LIKE THIS ALL VERY MUCH)

Well, I didn't discover SPN until October of last year, when I mainlined all then-available episodes in a period of 2 weeks. I couldn't put S4 down - I mainlined it in 18 hours flat - but I agree with you on S5. And parts of S6 were really good, I agree. I think if the writers had given parts of it a little more attention, it would have been brilliant. It had such potential, and while I dislike certain parts of it, the overall storyline was brilliant.

And YES. Dean and Charlie as a fangirl-ing, con-going, LARP-ing brotp forever. And ever. And ever.

S4 is still my overall favorite so I totally get it :D especially if you watched all in a row - my times of watching in a row sadly ended at... I think 3x08, it was the last one aired when I was catching up with it. ;) that said I thought that S5 was generally very good even if apparently it's not an extremely popular opinion, while S6 was half very good while half bored me to death.. but it still was better than S7, which I think just generally bored me with the exception of... maybe six episodes, so I'm totally good with how it's going right now.

I KNOW. I need all the fic where they go as Han and Leia and coax Cas into dressing like Obi-Wan or something ;)

the cookies look great! *sends bunny to get some*

I CANNOT wait for Iron Man 3... I am so jealous of the rest of the world that gets it a week before me. got spoiled for the end of credit appearance and it's exciting, but TONY! he's my favorite, as you know, so I am very very very excited. making plans with my guitar teacher to see it ASAP :)

I watched the Originals and OMG, it was indeed terrible. I mean... New Orleans is one of my favourite place in the world, and I, personally, quite like Klaus... but REALLY? I mean... no. that was really bad. nothing made sense. never been a fan of that type of storyline and I am frankly surprised the show was picked up with that premise. On the other hand TVD was TERRIBLE at first too. who knows. I am not sure if I'll follow it, maybe in a trainwreck kind of way. To be honest I am getting tired of TVD because vamp!elena bores me to death. I need a Caroline and Matt all the time show or something.

what is that reasonable time thing you are talking about? *innocent*

[janie_tangerine]

They came out pretty good too! :D

Charlie is great, isn't she? I loved her in her first episode and since then, they've done a great job fleshing out what could have been a one-off throwaway character. And can I just say that I LOVE that the boys now have friends that they can hug and stuff...it's great. I've always been a big fan of them having a "hunter family," and though the deaths we've had in the past still hurt a bit, I'm glad they've introduced new characters to be a part of that family. Dean/Charlie friendship FTW - I LOVE their connection and their relationship.

As for Cas...yeah, caught the "he's so dreamy" line, which clearly seems like a shout-out to Dean since Charlie doesn't find guys attractive...hmm. I think I'm with you on them being platonic life partners at least...I still don't think the show is going to overtly go there, but I do think it seems like they're going to leave it open to interpretation. So the show ending with the definite premise that Dean and Cas are going to spend their lives together...sounds great to me, and us fangirls can fill

Ikr? I want her around forever. I like her a lot generally and they really made a great job with her - can we have her around forever? And YES EXACTLY I just want them to finally be able to function like normal people, AND FINALLY I'M GETTING IT. Sure I wish that less people died along the way but as it is now I'm good with it :) if they bring Benny back I'm cool thoughThat line.. really couldn't have been about anything else? Like, Charlie isn't into men and she was kind of looking at Dean in the mirror when she said it, not to mention that if she knows him from the books she read them from Dean's POV, so if she says she's dreamy it's.. a Dean-colored vision thing or why would she even go there? I'm still not betting money that they'll hook up for real, but I think that it's ending with the two of them spending the rest of their life together in *some* capacity while Sam gets his family - there's just no way they're writing like this if that isn't at least a possible endgame. I'm totally down with the platonic life partners thing

OMG THE COOKIES!

[janie_tangerine]

I KNOW THEY REALLY CAME OUT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT THEY WOULD :DDDDD

I want to watch for Elijah, but I'm kind of sick to death of Klaus, and it's pretty clear he's going to be the main character.

[janie_tangerine]

I never liked Klaus much in the first place so tbh I'm not interested in watching his show, but if it was good I *could* watch it for Elijah. Except that what I've seen is really not my thing, so.. :/
