trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie

Watching last week's Heroes, I don't know why I still watch this show, I really don't. Obviously there's still something that keeps me watching, but damn if I know what it is. Sigh. Once in a fandom, always in it?

I wanna thank everyone who filled out the survey thing from this entry . There's several comments I'd like to make, but I'm not gonna unscreen the comments to reply, since a lot of the stuff was personal. But just know that I read them and thanks!!!

I can't form a solid opinion on this week's Supernatural. I'm glad its back, of course, but once again I think I'm just a little disappointed. The episodes that air when the show comes back from hiatus never seem to impress me. Must be the hype or something. So, this only like...half a review post, but I felt like I should say something.

I don't hold the highest opinion of John Winchester. I never did, for the way he raised his boys. But he was a good father as best he could be, and this episode didn't change my opinion in any way. To get that statement out of the way. I totally understand Dean's jealous reaction to John taking Adam to baseball games and stuff. But John chose to leave Adam out of the life because there was someone for him. Sam and Dean had no one but him; in his eyes, there was no other choice. That I understand.

Sam and his purple toothbrush. lol. I didn't notice at first. And awkward Dean in the morning. I totally understand that feeling. Especially the "awkward morning in the car" morning. Someone(?) said the beginning had a vague seaon 2 feeling to it, and I tend to agree. John's charged phone in the glove box, all the way through till you hear Adam say "I'm his son." And then things go awry.

I was actually expecting Adam to really be John's son. They'd teased too many things for it not to be the most obvious. But seriously? The boys don't need anymore angst, knowing they had a brother out there and that they couldn't save him, either? That once again, they're the ONLY Winchesters alive? Really. Overkill.

You know why I'm disappointed with this episode? NEEDS MOAR BAMF!SAMMY. Plain and simple. I'm just ready for the big finish already.

I don't know what else to say. I don't think Dean's "take that as you want" at the end was actually meant to be a compliment. I don't think Sam becoming just like John is a good thing. I'm glad they finally acknowledged that though, because DUH.

I did love all the little moments of this episode. "Dean, always with the scissors." Sam and Ghoul!Adam's target practice, and Sam's VERY John-like speech to Ghoul!Adam. Didn't catch the Kim Manners tribute till it was pointed out, very sweet and sad.

Lots of little nuances in the episode that make it good, but I'm really just ready for the final showdown, I suppose.


Harper's Island was interesting, too. I do enjoy brunette Katie Cassidy better. And the creepy little "one by one" girl really needs to die already. Creepy children give me the heeby jeebies. I wasn't watching the show close enough though. Kept getting distracted by Travis Fimmel on The Beast. PSH.

I typed this whole entry with 9 fingers and didn't make too many typos, go me! I think my hands have adjusted to having an out-of-commission finger. I went to grab for my razor out of my shower bag thing yesterday and well, found my razor. The top of my pinky finger is a bit of a gnarly mess right now. NOT FUN. I'll spare the details, but it wasn't a pretty experience.

Carnival is tonight, and while it's not as ridiculously exciting to be packed in a parking lot full of fun rides and drunk college students, it's usually a decent time. And hey, RIDES!!! But the best part? Blessed Union of Souls is playing!! Not that many people remember who they are anymore, but they sing one of my favorite songs of all time, Standing at the Edge of the Earth. Have a Lee/Kara themed video with the song . I was hoping to find a Supernatural one, but it seems no one's made one, yet. But the lyrics fit perfectly in a way. *shrug* oooh, there's a Doctor Who one too.

Ah, Heroes is done. Time to finish the last 4 episodes of Leverage. When's season 2 start??

I thought Adam was going to be the Trickster or something, so I was surprised that he was an actual half-sibling to the boys. I'm sad he died. I don't mind Adam!

I love Harper's Island. Last night's episode was good. I also like Katie Cassidy. So glad that Hunter was the victim. He was annoying me and driving me up the wall. I couldn't stand him.

Season two of Leverage starts in June.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy crap, quick response, lol. I would've liked to have seen a bit more of Adam. Poor boys, find out you have a brother and that he's already dead.

Hunter was pretty. I think I liked the actor so I was a little sad to see the character go, but yeah. He was kinda annoying.

Aw, so far away.

You just summed up exactly how I feel about Heroes, too, lol.

*ignores SPN review as I haven't watched it yet* lol


omg, I stopped watching heroes about five episodes in to the third season...I really loved the first season, I thought it was amazing, the second was a bit of a let down but I still managed to watch the whole thing but now....I just kinda wish they stopped at 2...

SQUEE! LEVERAGE!! I think it starts in July....I think, I hope so! :)

I actually thought Adam was sort of adorable, too bad he was the bad guy all along, but oh well xD

Sam's toothbrush is too cute. Dean probably bought it for him as a joke ;)

HAI I was going to reply to your episode commentary, but I've had no sleep and I don't think I could be coherent enough, especially after seeing your header again. D:

Have so much fun tonight!

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? It's like a train wreck, you can't help but watch or something. IDK.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
GET WATCHING ALREADY.

Exactly how I feel about the show, too. Although season 3 HAS improved from it's beginning. But season 1 should've been the end of it.

I've heard a june and a july, so I dunno. But TOO LONG away!

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He was totally adorable. Magical gay offspring, indeed...lol.

Probably, haha. I think one of them had a pink one in Mystery Spot.

You still haven't slept? WOMAN GET TO BED. Ah, yes, that header is quite gorgeous. I was just using it temporarily, but now it may stay for a bit.

I hope so. I'm meeting up with friends that I haven't seen in awhile. Plus drunk college students...eep. We'll see. But hey, there's Carnival food if all else fails, lol.

Hopefully Carnival food doesn't upset your tummy!

I skipped the SPN and HI parts if that is okay :)

But about Heroes. Okay, seriously... last weeks episode was so ridicioulus. I'm considering quitting but I guess NOT YET. The final straw is not reached, yet, I suppose. Just, seriously?


Obviously, with being away and stuff - what happened to your finger, bb? *hugs*

[identity profile] lavidacobra.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't watched Heroes in forever. I keep wanting to but then I'm like meh. Zachary Quinto is about the only thing holding me to it.

It took me FOREVER to realize that was Katie Cassidy. I was like why does she look like old!Ruby with brown hair...ZOMG IT IS. Yeah I rode the failboat for a while there.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, it's perfectly fine. BUT WATCH THEM ALREADY!!! lol.

I reached the final straw earlier in the season when they killed off Elle, stopped watching for 3 weeks, and then I don't know, decided I was too curious to stop? All I do is bitch about it, but I CANT STOP WATCHING.

Pretty much just went to reach for my razor and found the wrong end of it pretty badly. Mangled up the tip of my pinky pretty decent, had a terrifying moment in the shower of "OMG IM GONNA PASS OUT" but realized that I was a dumbass and know how to take care of a bloody cut. Now it just hurts and I need to change bandaids.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same here. Sylar's kinda the only character left I still enjoy, sadly. And even that is touch and go.

I love her with her brown hair, but she does take a bit to recognize, haha.

[identity profile] jbangelo.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I was talking to a friend yesterday, and he asked me why I was still watching, and I was like, "Well... um... it's... uh..." LOL!

[identity profile] queenjazzy.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, Heroes. I've seen the first two seasons of it and that's all. I have no clue what's currently happening on it.

Sam's toothbrush was purple? I totally didn't notice that, lol. Ah, I loved the scissors moment. It was a nice callback to Heart. And I didn't catch the Kim Manners tribute the first time, but I caught it the second time I watched the episode. Very sweet and sad.

I had mixed feelings about Adam being dead yesterday, but after my second viewing of the episode, I no longer have them and am sad about it; I liked the kid. Also, I figured they'd kill him, but to kill him before the boys met him, well, that just hurts and sucks. Ah, but the show does love it's angst.

I've been watching Harper's Island. It's got Jim Beaver and Katie Cassidy! <3 And like loads of other actors/actresses I'm familar with too. =) Katie looks so pretty as a brunette, not that she wasn't pretty before, it's just I think I like her better as a brunette.

Ouch about the razor thing. That must of sucked.

I need to catch up on Leverage. I've missed a few episodes. And I have no idea when season 2 starts. I've heard June and July, so I'm confused.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, I wouldn't bother trying to catch up. Show should've ended at season one.

I am sad that we didn't get to know him better, that Sam and Dean only discovered another family member just to lose them. :(

Yeah, like HALF the cast of Harper's Island is somehow SPN-related.

Yeah, my finger's still shaking, actually. But I changed bandages today and looks okay, so I dunno.

Sometimes in summer is all I know. I still have 2 episodes to go, then I think withdrawal might set in. *uses shiny new leverage icon*

[identity profile] queenjazzy.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I currently have no plans to catch up on Heroes. I'm good not knowing what's happening.

I'm tired of Sam and Dean losing people. Especially family. I wish they and we could have gotten to know Adam better.

Yeah, like HALF the cast of Harper's Island is somehow SPN-related.
I grin every time I see someone from Supernatural on there and I have to point them out to my mom and remind her what their name is, what episode they were in, and who their character was. I, of course, only do it the first time we see the person as doing it every time we see the person would be annoying. Also, I am known for doing this with any actor I recognize. I just can't keep it in and need to tell someone.

Well, hopefully your finger is okay and that it'll get better soon.

Ooo! Pretty Leverage icon.

[identity profile] j-boo-bubbles.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I completely agree. I was so ready for the big finale like five months ago. Don't get me wrong, I love watching SPN, but I just feel like the writers are just filling in time with a bunch of unnecessary, unrelated plots...I do realize that there is going to be one more season and originally this was the last one...but seriously. It is driving me mad!!!

[identity profile] kefira.livejournal.com 2009-04-26 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
So I totally forgot about the Kim Manner's tribute and I had to delete the episode off my DVR since my DVR is made of fail. Where was it in the episode? Or what was it?


BTW I totally have songs by Blessed Union of Souls on my itunes :)

The screencap's in the comments there. :)


Yay! As well everyone should. XP There were songs they sung that I didn't realize was them!

[identity profile] kefira.livejournal.com 2009-04-26 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
I should get some more of their songs probably. I always have enjoyed them.


Thanks for the link. I have been sick so focusing on just the basics of the episode was hard enough :)

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-26 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
I only have 3 of their songs, so you might have me there..

Yeah, the episode was really layered, like most of the episodes are it's hard to just focus on anything but the big pictures.

[identity profile] force-oblique.livejournal.com 2009-04-26 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Who are Blessed Union Of Souls? lol

Awws the little girl on Harpers Island is freaky and so is the voice which says: One By On.. creepy kids make me nauseous! lol


I loved SPN. i felt bad for Dean because I knew he wanted to live so many more things with his dad or generally and it seemed that Adam had that with John well sort of!!

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2009-04-26 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Band that was kinda one-hit wonder but not really. They sing this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU5c7zhOmY0) and this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icZBUS_T-aU), that you might recognize. YT links those are.

Creepy kids scare me more than pretty much anything else.

Exactly Poor Dean.
