Unfortunately, you develop diabetes and all the insulin went bad. I would decorate my house with $500 square ft granite countertops.

It was a four lane road with turn lane, and I was in the left lane. What got to me is that the folks in the right lane heading southbound, and the people heading northbound just went through the intersection as if there weren't a giant fire engine barreling towards them at full speed. It could have turned right, turned left or gone straight, and there's no way any of them could tell, but I was the only one who stopped.

I had an unpleasant experience a couple of years ago when I heard and saw a fire truck as I approached an intersection. I stopped. SUV #1 swerved around me, missing me by inches. SUV #2 stopped dead, missing my little car by inches. SUV #3 hit SUV #2. Meanwhile, people kept going through the intersection as the fire truck bore down full tilt. Luckily, it turned right, but they had no reason to assume that, and they would have been t-boned if he'd gone straight or turned left. What the hell?! Did they repeal the law about yielding to emergency vehicles? Aren't we supposed to stop when we hear a siren? Did I do anything wrong here?

I figured Demon!Dean wouldn't last that long and that he wouldn't do anything too evil. There's no way that TPTB would sully their hero. Now if it had been Sam, they wouldn't have hesitated to have him go full on evil.

So am I. It really comes across as a form a narcissism. I want to see Sam get some good, juicy, emotional scenes and actually have a friend of his own.

How about a reboot of the Gilmore Girls? I'd like to see a version with a more mature Lorelai, a Rory who had an actual personality, and a non-surly Luke.

This one agrees with you 100%. I simply do not believe that Ackles would re-sign for a long past it's prime genre show on a netlet if he had been offered a big, juicy, movie role. It'll be straight-to-DVD and/or the Lifetime circuit for him once SPN gets cancelled.

I've known plenty of real-life Lindseys, both male and female, so I found her entirely believable. I just think that Dean was a perfectly nice, normal boy who wasn't perfect, wasn't Rory's soulmate, who made mistakes like anyone else. I don't get the extreme vilification of the character.

I'd feel a lot sorrier for Lindsay if she hadn't been sitting on her keister while whining for a townhouse, while Dean worked two jobs, then whining that he didn't spend enough time with her. I can't blame him for getting fed up, although he should have formally ended it with Lindsay before jumping into the sack with Rory.

They wanted her to attend a big party in her honor! They wanted her to graduate from a top university and date high-achieving men! The bastards!

I'd love to see Mr. I'm Smarter Than Anyone Else In This School in today's job market. The application software would automatically filter him out. I really don't see too much long term potential between a high-school dropout and a Yale graduate.

I've never understood the idea that Dean had a miserable, deprived childhood while Sam was The Pampered Prince Riding on His Backseat Throne. They had the identical childhood. Either both of them went hungry or neither of them did. And since Dean was given the car while Sam was disowned for the heinous crime of taking a once in a lifetime opportunity, I don't think Sam was the favored one.

If I found out about an underage runaway living in a shed with a baby you're damn right I'd call CPS.

I'm still trying to figure out why nobody called CPS about Rory living in a shed. Aren't teachers mandatory reporters?

Because Dean is always right, and he has a natural right to make all the decisions, and Sam is supposed to follow Dean's wishes blindly, and he's a bad person if he has any ideas or wants of his own.

Not with me! Between the self-pity, hypocrisy, grudge-holding and general dickish behavior, I can't stand Dean. It wouldn't be so bad if the show didn't go out of it's way to marginalize and blame Sam for everything.

What I hated about S5 was everyone's amnesia about their own role in the apocolypse. Dean started it by breaking the first seal, Cas facilitated it by lying to both Sam and Dean all S4, and letting Sam out of the panic room, and Bobby was urging Dean to let Sam out of the panic room, feed him demon blood and sic him on Lilith. Then when Sam got out of the panic room, drank demon blood and killed Lilith, Bobby was all, "Sam you monster! YOU started the apocolypse!". Poor Sam got all the blame for being tricked into setting Lucifer free and is still getting grief. Meanwhile, Cas gets tricked into breaking heaven, and it's all, "poor Cas, he has such a big heart", and gets no blame. Don't even get me started on Cas's betraying Sam and Dean to work with Crowley, and deliberately letting the leviathans out, being responsible for Bobby's death, which has NEVER been mentioned by anyone. Another bitterness: Sam got fewer lines last week than Crowley's butler. He's still the first billed character, isn't he?

All I'm saying is that there were a lot of nearly identical posts in a bunch of different threads under different names. I'm talking about blue book length anti-Sam screeds all with the same grammar and syntax. Draw your own conclusions.

Is liking Sam really such an UP in the real world? Outside of the TWOP b b with it's four psychotic Sam haters and their numerous socks, from what I can tell, he's pretty popular.

Yes, and what makes it really funny, is that ever since S4, he's been growling out his lines in this ridiculously gruff, faux-batman voice. Between that and the "Single Manly Tear", I just can't take him seriously as an actor. As for 'versatile', I watched My Bloody Valentine and he was Dean, right down to every facial expression, vocal inflection, and movement. Nothing personal against Jensen, he seems to be a pretty nice guy IRL. And since he keeps re-upping for Supernatural, it's pretty obvious that he knows his limitations.

I liked the episode. It's always good to see Bruce Campbell. I liked the different incarnations of Santa, especially, "Odin wants BEER!"

That's a perfect description of the TWOP Supernatural forum. It started out well, but ended with a group of Dean-obsessed fans driving all the fans of the other characters off the board, and posting endless screeds about how Sam/Jared Padelecki was THE WORST PERSON EVAH11!!11!, and Dean/Jensen Ackles is THE BEST PERSON EVER AND HE SHOULD BE A MOVIE STAR IF HE WEREN'T FORCED TO CONTINUE SPN. With additional hate towards Bobby because he occasionally gave Dean mild criticism. Worse yet, apparently the show's PTB followed the bb and believed them when they ranted about Bobby, which led to Bobby being killed off. Back to the topic: My UO - I like Clara on Dr. Who. Another UO: I don't like live TV productions. The undercurrent of nervous tension sucks all the enjoyment out of the show for me. I'd rather see relaxed actors giving their best performance, than actors obviously terrified they'll make a mistake on live TV.

I think the show is getting better, but I want Ezekiel and Cassandra to leave. I'd like to see Ezekiel steal something from the library, get locked up in prison, and Jenkins deciding to leave him there. Cassandra, they can kill off anytime. They should center the show around Christian Kane.

I've been a fan of his since Angel, so I'm glad he's back on the screen. I just wish they'd beef up his role and make him a full librarian.

My people! I realized the same thing, and yes, it's a lot of the reason I don't like Cassandra.
