twasadark: (SPN - Sam - ????)
[personal profile] twasadark
Why in the world do so many writers pair Sam and Gabriel?  Was there some connection between them that I missed?? Isn't Gabriel a shortypants?  I just can't get my head around the two of them ...

As for the rest of Supernatural, I'm YAY GLAD that hiatus is OVER, but I'm waiting for episodes that will blow me away. Last week's eppy wasn't that. It had its amusing moments, but there wasn't a whole lot of substance there. Ah, well. We'll see what next week brings.

I don't read fic, but Sam and Gabriel is not a pairing I would ship. I probably missed something also.

I know, right? Maybe people are so desperate for something to do with Sam now that there's lots of Dean/Castiel. Very very strange!

LOL, I dunno, I thought it was a crack ship and people shipped it for the lulz. My impression from canon is that Tricky McGee particular HATES Sam, not the opposite. I've read some pretty hilarious Sam/Gabriel fics, though.

Okay, this is probably the best explanation I've seen! It actually makes sense, too. Hilarious, eh? Intentionally hilarious I hope, lol.

Nods. That's how I feel. Oh and I don't get the Sam/Gabriel thing either. Why Sam and not Dean? After all, wasn't Dean all up on his face?

I've been so confused by that pairing as well. I thought I must have missed some pivotal scene or something.

*shaking my head*

I just figured fandom wanted Sam to have an angel since Dean was being paired with Cas. But isn't that what Lucifer is there for? *g*

Its like someone just slashed them together for the hell of it and then the pairing took off.

I dont get it or like it :(

The episode? I really semi-loved it when it aired, but it doesn't hold up as well on rewatch. I still enjoyed it, but yeah, not much substance. Mostly, I'm so damn happy those boyz are back.

Sam/Gabriel? Really? At least he's not with Chuck. He's not is he? I'm behind on my slash.

Boop!

Meh, I assume it's because the Trickster had it "out for Sam" when they met previously? I don't know. I kind of want to say that people think Gabriel had a thing for Lucifer and now Sam reminds him of Lucifer?

I'M SURE I COULD COME UP WITH SOME TOTALLY CRACKED OUT WAY TO GET THEM TOGETHER. But I don't want to.

I want my Sam/Dean fic back. *sadface*

That right there was courtesy of my cat, who came over and sat on my keyboard while I was trying to think of a reply to you, lol.

LOL about thinking up a cracked out way of getting Sam and Gabriel together. I suppose Gabriel is a step up from Ruby, actually. But not as good as Dean. :-)

Thank you for asking this question! I've been seeing these stories, furrowing my brow at the link, but haven't have the courage (aka interest) to click...Some of the comments above have an explanation, but poor Sam, not a very sexy pairing, IMO, though I could be missing something...

Agreed on the eppy being 'meh'. It had its moments, but left me with an overall feeling of "DO NOT WANT" :( That being said, I loved the lighting in it. It made making icons and graphics loads easier with all the white and brightness, imo.

And Sam/Gabriel? I don't get -What?!

I've been wondering about the Sam/Gabriel, too, 'cause I just can't see it! I assumed it was because of all the Dean/Castiel fics out there (another pairing I'm not fond of, but apparently I'm in the minority sigh). I read a series of rather dark Sam/Gabriel stories in a comment fic forum the other day that were pretty good once I got past the wth factor, but overall I just really don't see it.

I enjoyed the episode, but it had some serious logic flaws. I'm looking forward to the next one though.

Yeah, I kinda figured that people were just so desperate to pair Sam with someone that they picked Gabriel just because he exists ... now that Ruby bit the dust.

You're not a Dean/Cas fan? I must admit that I've been reading that more and more lately. Yummy!

I can't figure it out either. Maybe it's because when I looked at Richard Speight, the last thing I ever want to do is imagine him naked LOL. I could understand the Gabriel himself thing though, outside of the human body. Sam and Gabriel have been around each other a lot more than Sam and Dean, technically. Sam had 100 days alone with him watching Dean die over and over while Gabriel as the Trickster watched Sam. And then they had that big scene at the climax of Mystery Spot. It could be an interesting dynamic. But Richard is just...not sexual at all.


Yeah, last week was meh. I enjoyed it because it was entertaining (until the last 10ish minutes when it was so heavy handed and annoying I wanted to hit it with a stick). I'm hoping for a little more POW in the coming weeks as the season (series?) starts to wind down.

LOL about envisioning Richard Speight naked. Yeah, I'm totally with you on that one. I figured that it was writers just being desperate to pair Sam with someone--anyone--since Dean is now paired with Castiel a lot, but the consensus seems to be that it's a crack pairing.

I'm hopeful that Show is going to be a bit more intense in coming weeks as well. If nothing else it's always full of the pretty!

*sigh* I agree about this weeks spn. It was a relief to have them back but the episode as a whole was not memorable and not as satisfying as I'd hoped it would be. But like you said, bring on the next one...

I think we'll get some better episodes soon. I sure hope so, anyhow!
