this is a post about supernatural and the lion king (and maybe tv too)
+ I don't really want to talk about last week's Supernatural, if only to say I was really enjoying it until it ended, and then for about seventeen hours, I hated Dean Winchester for the first time. I've gotten over that and maybe come to an understanding of his actions, but am choosing to pretty much ignore that episode until the ramifications of his actions (hopefully) show through in the next episode.
+ Boyfriend and I went to see The Lion King in 3D on Friday (okay basically I dragged him to see it, and I paid and everything and jfc 3D is expensive) Literally the moment Circle of Life started playing there were tears rolling down my cheeks. It's like...it was kind of like Toy Story, how Andy grew up and gave his toys away (you know you cried at that part), I felt the same way. The Lion King is the first movie I recall seeing in theaters, and even that memory is a little shaky, but it was like truly reliving my childhood for 89 minutes, except this time I'd already seen it enough times to know every single moment in the movie from the dialogue to the music cues to the phallic symbols in the stars.
There was a little boy several rows behind us, however, who did not, and after the stampede and Simba's crying, he said, "Where's his daddy?" And then when Scar walked up and the little boy said, "Scar is a baaaaaaaaaad man." Then Simba runs off, you know, and stumbles into the desert, etc etc, then when Timon and Pumba find him the little boy said again, "But where's his daddy?" And he kept asking it through the movie, and each time I had to choke back a sob.
+ I'm absolutely trying to watch too much new television right now and succeeding miserably. American Horror Story is the latest show I've picked up, and while I'm not so much a horror fan, I am a fan of Dylan McDermott's ass, so I'll be watching more of it. Pan Am is absolutely adorable, if not totally sexist and 60s cliched, but I'm terribly fond of Collette and the overwhelming sense of adventure of the show, so I'll keep watching it. I watch all my CW shows 4 days after they air, as that's when they hit the CW mobile app and I can watch them at work: Ringer, The Secret Circle, and Hart of Dixie. They're all mediocre (Hart of Dixie is adorable as a bonus) but I'm still curious enough to keep watching. The Playboy Club already is canceled so goodbye there, and I haven't managed to catch a full episode of Terra Nova though I am mighty curious. IDK, eventually I'll fall behind somewhere and not bother to catch up, but I have no idea which show it'll be that gets the cut.
+ i was trying to find one of those tumblr graphics with sam winchester and simba together on it, I KNOW THEY EXIST, but i apparently tagged them something funny. :|

That little boy sounds like he would make ME cry.
Don't bother with Terra Nova. Really. Not worth the time.

I can't comment on SPN because I only caught the last 30 minutes + end of the episode. It was a powerful ending and just brought the dread. I didn't hate Dean tbh but I do have a lot of issues with what he did. I am glad he didn't kill the kid because monster or not, he didn't hurt anyone. This is gonna bite him in the ass and Sam too but I think this is who Dean always was making the hard decisions, shoot first and don't bother asking questions later but still the episode has gotten under my skin and I haven't decided if it is good or bad.
I caught that comment on SPN meta and it was essentially ideal suicide with him doing the worse thing. This! I can agree with the themes from last year and this is meshing when it comes to Dean and very well but I don't know the whole thing bugs me on one hand I get it but on the other he lied to his brother, went behind Sam's back then killed the monster girl in cold blood. I was thinking he was gonna let her go also but this issue is anything but black/white though. I think Dean has reached a point of no return and this early in the season it showed already with Amy. I do think Dean trusts his brother in his own way but didn't trust his decision. Does that makes sense?
