So I caught up on Supernatural and Criminal Minds last night, as a break from the non-stop House viewing. Figured I needed to let my budding hypochondriac take a much needed rest. Honestly, I don't have African Sleeping Sickness, nor do I have Tuberculosis. Nor do I need an MRI, a CAT scan or a lumbar puncture. Really.
So, Criminal Minds. Was a good episode, though I called the 'twists' from the beginning. No reason for Sam (hee!) to be there, if he wasn't the bomber, yo. Same for the ambulance driver. Everybody listens to the order not to bring any first response personnel in except that one ambulance driver? And his partner abandoned him to go in alone? Yeah, okay. And none of the other people thought to question why there was an ambulance in there? With the grief they gave Morgan when he wanted to go in? Hmm. Questionable, at best. Though I suppose the argument could be made that Hotch, at the very least, wasn't thinking straight. I suppose I can give that a pass.
But Morgan. Oh, Morgan. You completely broke me. "Garcia? I'll tell you what you are to me. You're my God-given solace. Woman, you promise me one thing. Whatever happens, don't you ever stop talking to me." Omg. The emotion in his voice. Broke. Me.
And I get what Hotch was going for when he asked Morgan about trusting him with his life, yet I still wanted to beat the man. Leave my poor Morgan alone! RAWR.
And then there's Supernatural. The best thing, is that the spooky is back. I've missed it so. I didn't hate season 2 and 3, but they were nowhere near as scary as season 1. But this... This season brings it.
The big news, of course, is Castiel. (Called that one too, btw! And was so so so hoping I was right. Angel? Very cool.) Except, of course, I'm as skeptical as Dean. I don't trust that he's a good angel, any more than Dean does. Except that Kripke is an evil genius, and thus if Dean doubts so very strenuously, it can only go one of two ways. Kripke is going to give Dean faith at the end of this long journey, or Dean's instincts will be correct, and he'll be more broken than ever, providing anything is left standing once the battle is done. I just can't figure out which it will be.
As far as the rest goes, I'm torn on how this season, and next, play out. Kripke has said repeatedly that he really is only interested in 5 seasons of SPN. The apocalypse storyline seems to bear that out. After all, once you've taken on the end of the world, what is there really left to do? But really, it means this season is nothing but one huge ramp up for season 5. Can't really have the Final Battle, a storyline of this magnitude and finish it in season 4, and then hope to beat it and go out on a high note in season 5.
I'll be sad if there really are only 5 seasons of SPN. I can certainly understand Kripke's position. Better to go out on top, than to roll around at the bottom, remembering what you used to be. I'm just afraid that it will be a long, extremely frustrating season 4 if there isn't a possibility of some sort of temporary resolution before building it even higher for season 5.
... Okay, that didn't make sense, but I'm not really sure how to explain it better. How about this? I like a little bit of satisfaction with my sadism, thank you very much.
I need to watch the Heroes clip show and eps 1 and 2. And I have half of ep 2, and all of ep 3 of True Blood to watch. I really, really want to like True Blood. I keep getting it confused in my head with the Twilight series. Which I did like, but it was... childish. I suppose that's not really fair, but let's face it, Harry Potter it is not. As I said, I did like the Twilight books. I just kept wanting to slap Bella and make Jacob and Edward do naughty vampy/wolfy things to each other. Though I'm sure there's no surprise there. :P And I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of whatshisname who plays Bill in True Blood, (Hee, I'm so with Sookie there... a vampire named Bill? Teehee! Sorry,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halfacork, no offense to your Bill! It's a much better werewolf name?) though that may just be his sideburns and hair. Icky. (Okay, yes, I know. His look is supposed to be 'dated'. But Icky.)
I need to stop writing. I'm abusing parentheses.
But! Before I go...
HAH! You thought I'd leave without dragon spam, didn't you? No such luck, since I'm babysittinghalfacork's baybeez.
Mine - Cuervo, Everclear, and a new egg! -
halfacork's - Everwhere, newborn skywing, and two pretty eggs! - 
Now I really need to go and curl up in a corner. I'm having one of those hypochondriac moments I mentioned up above. Meh. Think good thoughts.
