I'm pretty sure it's not from the first two seasons (beyond that I have no clue) -- but Sam's face still looks so young. Poor baby. No wonder the puppy dog eyes were so effective.

None of the ones I've seen appear to be complete. I saw a really clear infographic that was easy to understand, but it was done just before the beginning of Series 7 and was never updated afterward.

One last observation about the episode: The focus on dreams and dream states--especially being unable to control them--is very much a take off on Dickens' dream ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future.
Oh, thanks for that. That seems so obvious to me now, but sometimes I miss the obvious. :-) The Santa thing was so on-the-nose that I really couldn't get into it, but the subtlety of Christmas-ghost theme -- I can actually see this as a Christmas episode to me now.

Sigh. I've already seen Inception, and I don't like Alien-type movies, so I immediately knew what was going on and was not really interested in watching most of that process. I did enjoy the sequence with Danny; I've always liked Danny, while simultaneously recognizing and being annoyed that he was being used almost exclusively as a plot point or source of conflict. (It became clear as the series went on that Danny was never going to get to become "his own man," a character in his own right even quasi-independently from Clara.) I couldn't help but enjoy him nonetheless when Clara was loving her dream and unwilling to let it end; it was pretty sweet to watch. And I loved the sleigh scene. The joy in the Doctor's face as he drove the sleigh, the peacefulness as he let Clara hang on to him and they enjoyed the ride together -- I could watch that all day. So here's hoping that's the relationship we get next year, instead of secrets, lies, or belittling.

Which scenes/episodes do you guys watch with the most frequency? And, since we're all among friends here...how many times have you watched them?! You won't be mocked ;)
I might have mentioned it before, but the scene with Sam, Dean, Audrey, and the teddy bear got me through a long stretch when I was constantly sad/depressed for various reasons. Every time I would lay in bed and not want to do or think about anything I would watch that scene and it would just cheer me up. I really have no explanation why, but it did. It might be my favorite
comedicscene of the whole show.I also watched the first half of "Mystery Spot" a lot too. And the first half of "Faith". And the Ouija scene in "In My Time of Dying." And their argument at the beginning of "Are You There God,..." And Sam relocating Dean's shoulder in "I Know What You Did Last Summer." And the intro scene of "Dark Side of the Moon". And Dean's snarky off-the-rails attitude in "Point of No Return." And Dean talking Sam of the ledge in "Hello, Cruel World."
And Sam getting visions. And Dean's single tears. And them talking in unison. And them yelling each other's names.
So basically, the whole show.

I know she's been in a bunch of television stuff as regular characters (most notably Kim in Yes, Dear) and guest stars, but Jean Louisa Kelly will for me always be the young hussy who tried to seduce Mr. Holland in Mr. Holland's Opus. I literally could not watch Yes, Dear for that very reason.

You might want to have straight-jackets and/or protective custody available for them as well in that case. ;-)

Oh, and it looks like they're on track for another 200K week, which means that they'll hit the platinum mark!
I may have just clapped and did the sports-champion fist-pump in my office. :-) Their success over the last couple of months has been like getting my own gift -- an "I told you so" button I can play for all the people who looked at me quizzically when I started obsessing about them three years ago.

Oooh, you wren't the only one. I cried laughing at that blooper reel, almost as much as Debra Messing. I always remember as one of my favorite moments."that nurse who couldn't pass her driver's test in Will & Grace:: "This is harrrd."
OMG LOL. I thought I was the only person that found that to be one of the funniest things ever. Did you see the blooper reel for that? Funnier than the bit because Deborah Messing could not make it through.

My concern is less about the CW network in general and more about the particular showrunner(s) who are[n't] pulling the strings on this relationship. It won't matter how mature and stable the CW can be if the people in charge of Arrow don't actually want to see that happen -- if they are so sown up in the stories that come out of the comics that they cannot fathom emotional conflict beyond what is seen in those comics (i.e. triangles, secrets, and death).

We've been speculating that Oliver will reconcile his two identities and get together with Felicity by the end of this season. While part of me hopes that these two will finally get together, another part of me is dreading it. As soon as Oliver and Felicity get together, you know that the EPs won't let them just be happy as a couple. Instead, they will immediately start thinking of ways to create conflict in their relationship.
[snip]Couples usually don't stay together on CW shows (with rare exceptions like Nikita) because apparently their writers and producers don't know how to create drama without breaking couples up. Also, I think shows like instigating shipper wars because they rile up fans and lead to increased online discussion. For that reason, a part of me hopes the Arrow EPs drag out the 'will they-won't they' relationship between Oliver and Felicity for a long time.
I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS.
Honestly, if I could just get 4-6 episodes of pure, unadulterated, "we're in love and we don't care who knows it" Olicity, I would be fine. I'm so done with the contrived conflict in any form though. "Will they/won't they" is just another unnecessary conflict in my books. I don't even know if I"ll last the season, much less any time beyond that if they don't get it together. (And by "they", of course I mean the showrunners.)
