Random TV Thoughts

Supernatural

I don't usually post my Supernatural episode reactions, because quite frankly, others are a lot more coherent and incisive than I am, but I'll make an exception for 4.03 squee.  Here are some random thoughts influenced by my venerable old age (I was a small child during the early 70's), and some other stuff, too, lol:

• Tab ad on the bus bench - Tab was the BARFIEST cola EVAR
• Dean got a new bracelet ... right? It has beads on it, it's not the leather one of seasons past ... did this just happen?  I am somewhat clueless so I could have missed it.
• Hubby says that the diner where Dean and John first meet looks the same as the one in Back to the Future
• Sonny & Cher ... good God but I REMEMBER watching their variety show as a kid.  When my parents weren't trying to get me to watch that truly horrid show, Hee Haw.
• Question - so Mary's whole family is hunters. Well, now I want to know HOW they got into hunting in the first place!!
• LOL - Dean's mom kicks his ass.
• I love Mary's shirt - the white Western shirt with red roses.  I would wear that.  Does that make me a bad person?
• LOL about that piece of shit old car Dean is driving around.  Hubby says it's not a Pacer but it sorta looks like one.
• "Chatty Cathy"!!! I HAD one of those dolls when I was itty bitty.  Jeremy Carver, you must be elderly, like myself!
• Favorite line in the whole ep.  Dean:  "I've got a chance to save my family's lives. My family." Oh, DEAN!!
• Dean's gramma is a babe for an old broad.
• Ovaltine!!  Oh, Ovaltine. Another memory from years gone by.
• John is sorta a panywaist. I can't really imagine this John turning into the bad ass John we all know and love so well.
• Mary's kiss with Gramps. ICK.
• Awww, the look on Dean's face when Castiel puts his hand on Dean's shoulder.  He's just so devastated.

The last bits of 4.03 convince me even more that Sam is the reason Dean was rescued from Hell.  The good guys are counting on Dean to keep Sam from turning darkside. 

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

Damn, I love this show! I love how well written, well directed and well acted it is. I love the pacing, the touch of religion, the teenage angst, the motherly love, the ass kicking, CAMERON (my one and only lesbian crush), and DEREK (slobber slobber nekkid in the shower with tattoos). Sarah's pretty cool, too.

I heard rumors that the show is close to being cancelled.  NO NO NO NO!!!  It doesn't seem to have a strong fan base, though.  At least, judging from SCC's presence at ComicCon and lack of comms on LJ.  There are a few, but nothing like SPN.

Sanctuary

I'm going to watch this tonight because I've heard good buzz about it and I like Amanda Tapping.  But am I the only one that thinks it looks like a rip off of Torchwood?

Breaking Bad

This is an original show in AMC about a high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with lung cancer.  In order to provide for his family, he hooks up with a drug dealing ex-student to use his chemical knowledge to cook up meth.  Hubby talked me into watching this, since he's a Chemical Engineer and the mere sight of periodic tables makes him froth at the mouth.  Anyhow, I've only seen 2 eps (of an 8 ep season, I think) and it's really good.  Kind of a dark comedy.  It's by Vince Gillian, of X-Files fame.

"I've got a chance to save my family's live. My family." I spent so much of this episode just going oh Deeean. His unflinching determination to save his family at the cost of hundreds of innocent lives, just ... oh Dean. *hands*

dude, I've only seen the first 2 eps of Breaking Bad as well...are more out yet or what? I was really diggin' it when I watched over the summer.

oh god, Hee Haw. My dad tried to get me to watch that when I was younger...ugh. Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm gonna have to agree with your husband, it does look like the diner in Back to the Future (I've watched that movie religiously since I was born). The set up is quite similar with the door/front window/bar stool placement...and the young guy sweeping the floor. 'Course, I get the feeling it was supposed to be that way. lol

Oh, absolutely. This just validated what I've been thinking from the very first episode of this season. Though I do wonder if angels are so powerful, WHY they need Dean to do it.

LOL about that piece of shit old car Dean is driving around. Hubby saw it's not a Pacer but it sorta looks like one.
I think it's a Pinto, right? Well, whatever it is is crap. I know that much. lol

Dean spends pretty much the whole episode devastated. My heart can't take much more of this and it's only the third episode! XD

I like SCC also, I hope it doesn't get canceled :(

I'm recording Sanctuary just to see Amanda Tapping in a wig and British Accent, lol!

[alchemise]

Oh man, I'd managed to forget Hee Haw ever existed. *shudders*

I went to the Sanctuary panel at Comic Con. It definitely looks like it has potential and Amanda Tapping seems to be having a blast. I just hope they know what they're doing making it an all green-screen show.

Mary's shirt was TEH awesome, I'd wear it, too. XD As for the car Dean's driving I believe it's a Pinto!
I've got a chance to save my family's lives. My family. Beautiful, I mean Dean has a HEART!! I am really liking this season so far, it's great GRAND. Also, yesh, the kiss was SO CREEPY. I just get the shivers thinking of the creepy.
And you're so right about Dean's devastated look, especially after Castiel says "he's not looking for you." OHMYGOSH!!! HEARTBREAK!!!

I thought the first season of SCC was really awesome, but I'm not feeling it this season. I don't know. Between the lack of Derek kicking ass and the lack of Sarah kicking ass, I'm sort of bored. Cameron's origin episode was not as awesome as I'd hoped it would be either. *sighs*

I'm still watching, but I'm contemplating stopping. Honestly, it hasn't captivated me. I'm hoping next week will be awesome.

I could have sworn, though, that Fox said it'd be getting a full second season with 22 episodes. Could be wrong.

*goes to check the site*

I can't believe that I wasn't the only who thought that. I watched the premiere tonight, and this series struck me as a cross between Torchwood and Supernatural.

I am IN LOVE with SCC. I regret it has replaced SPN as my favourite show.

EVERYONE in it is just epically hot - man, woman, child machine... mmmmm yummy.

Do you want to hear something truly horrifying? We still have TAB! Yeah.

Also, Dean got the new bracelet in season 2, after he gets out of hospital.
