Some minor music-related news picked up from the FL:

Ricky Wilson has learnt his lesson after getting hit by a car. Namely never leave a gig early. Awwww.

Maximo Park were at the England vs. Sweden match. Awwww. Maybe they saw Ray Winstone there.

Supernatural last night was all right, I did like their version of vampires. Though I think the high point of the ep was the head vamp's words when he first returned to his nest, that thing about revenge not being everything especially when it winds up getting you killed. Compare that good sense to John Winchester who was quite prepared to try taking out his nemesis knowing full well it would likely be fatal and obviously hadn't actually thought that *maybe* his children would prefer to keep one parent intact whatever the cost.

In general John and Sam irritated me this ep. Do I get where they're coming from? I think so. I'm just not very good at feeling sympathetic. They were both throwing their weight around leaving Dean to try and keep things civil. At least they didn't cry and hug at the end like last time, urgh.

On the plus side, the vamps were very cool and very fun. I did grin like anything when that one turned round to find Dean right behind him. Oh yes :) Dean in general was great this ep. I find it interesting that he's prepared to blindly obey his father in order to save time... until he realises that his Dad is basically prepared to orphan him and Sammy. And then we got that very nice scene where he just puts his foot down and points out the obvious - namely that success is more likely when you have three capable hunters rather than just one.

The less said about a f**king magical gun made under the light of a comet the better.

MAXIMO PARK! Paul Smith, how I adore thee. *sigh*

It's like that frikkin' sythe all over again.

LOL, my head was in my hands when they came up with that tale. Honestly, could the writers at least *pretend* they've been working to some vague greater plan, LOL!

But Dean! *bearly contains the bouncing* Dean! DEAN!

Okay, I should probably try and be more coherent than that. I loved the vamps, if anything slightly more than Joss' vamps. All dusty and dirty and so damn cool. John and Sam to me in this ep were much more in character than in Shadows.

In fact, John in this ep seems to be more realistic than the huggy guy we saw in Shadows. For a guy who's been fighting this stuff successfully for twenty odd years, he seems to lack any sort of forward planning ability. And good sense. I love the guy, but he's a bit of an idiot.

And I know we're supposed to focus on John and Sam in this, but all I was seeing was Dean stuck in the middle, getting bitched at by Sammy for sticking up for Dad, then getting bitched at by John because he was pissed off at Sam. The touch-up comment. Love the wee look that Dean gives Sam. He tries to smile it off, but you can see how it hurts.

The magical McGuffin gun. It's pretty to look at. There's that...

Yep, the vamps and Dean rescued the ep for me. I think my problem is that while I feel for John and Sam, I just don't feel very sympathetic - that talk between them should have left me bawling, if it had been the equivalent between Wes and Roger I would have been *gone*, but instead I was left feeling bored and just wanting them to stop blathering and get back to the cool vamps.

I do agree about Dean being stuck in the middle, and I loved his exasperated 'Terrific' over the pair of them. For all their bitching and whinging, so far the real loser of the three of them is Dean I think.

And that gun. Pfffft. LOL!

I know I just got in to SN and I already asked but when and what channel is it on? And wha tseason are they upto?

*points to icon*

[lonelybrit]

It's been shunted around at the mo because of the footie. At the moment it's on ITV1, Wednesday at 11pm. We're drawing towards the end of Season 1 I think.

Heh, and yes, I agree with your icon wholeheartedly.

I didn't really enjoy this ep (or the next one) just cause John annoys me that much, and they're the only two eps the whole season I'd say that about (well, maybe Route 666 as well) although the gun doesn't bother me, magical weapons are common in mytholgy, Thor's hammer, Arthur's sword, so a magic gun just makes me go, *shrug*.

[lonelybrit]

Ah, but Thor's hammer and Arthur's sword have been around for ages, so personally they have more street cred than a gun or scythe made up on the spur of the moment. Now if they'd have had the ep about finding Excaliber, that would have been fun, LOL!

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

but just think, probably eons ago, some viking guys were sitting around and one said, "You know, that Thor story is pretty cool, but do you know what it needs, a magic hammer!!!"

Although an enchanted water pistol would have been good, something ridiculous, like a 500 super soaker that was bright pink. :)

Heee! just watch the pretty men and ignore the story, it is all good. *g*

[lonelybrit]

Well the men are *very* pretty, I will give them that =)
