Mick Lady July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Sometimes, being married to a guy who's vaguely high-ish up in a federal department can be a bit unnerving. Like when the dad of an intern fired for documented racism/sexism phones and calls him an "injun-loving, faggot-loving, butt-fucking communist". Um. And then phones our congress critter to complain about him and calls *her* racist, sexist names. Man. The world is kicking me emotionally in the butt this week. There are just some really icky people out there. Well, ya gotta hand it to the guy! He can string together a string of insults! Even if he is a total ass! Hope you and hubby had a good laugh! Narrow minded jerks like that you can do nothing about. Sorry you had to be exposed to one. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1374172

AwesomO4000 July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Anybody willing to share their road trip playlists? Warning: This is going to be long - feel free to skim or skip entirely. Oooh me, me... though I'm not sure how helpful it will be. Like DittyDotDot, I have really eclectic tastes, and since hubby and I road trip together and I don't drive, I can play a few things from one CD (and I still use CDs) pop it out and put in another, but I do have a few CDs where I play almost the whole thing straight through. These are the CDs I play while knitting, especially in the beginning of a project or a tricky part of the pattern, because then I don't want to have to switch. So here are my current favorites: The Avett Brothers, I and Love and You: Pretty much the whole thing straight through. You might recognize the 3rd track from season 10 of the show. Warning though: the second track seems a little country-leaning. This isn't typical of the rest of the album. My favorite tracks: I and Love and You, Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise, The Perfect Space, Ill With Want, and Incomplete and Insecure (which weirdly in some ways reminds me of Sam). Cowboy Mouth, Are You With Me?: I start with track # 10 "Louisiana Lowdown" and play it through to track # 4 - I haven't tried tracks # 5-9 enough yet to recommend one way or another. Favorite tracks: New Orleans,* Jenny Says, Take it Out on Me, and God Makes the Rain Keane**, Strangeland: Almost the whole thing. I actually burned a CD with most of this album plus some older stuff. Two favorites - one of mine (Strangeland) and one of hubby's (Myth) - is only on the i tunes store deluxe edition, but likely the regular version for the non-Keane initiated is enough. Favorite tracks: Silenced By the Night, Sovereign Light Cafe, Watch How You Go (beautiful), On the Road, Neon River, and Sea Fog (beautiful)... History - I knew only 4 songs of Keane's when I saw that they were coming in concert in Atlanta in a relatively small venue for their Strangeland tour, but I knew their style and thought the small venue would make for a great concert. So I convinced hubby - who barely knew of them - to go. Both hubby and I were blown away. One of the top 3 concerts I've ever been to in my life. Hubby bought all of their music as soon as he woke up the next day, including the deluxe version of this album. ELO, The Hits: (Actually the first album I ever bought for my new stereo when I was a kid): Almost the whole thing. I only skip one or two. Favorite tracks: Can't Get It Out of My Head, Telephone Line, Showdown, Strange Magic, and Mr. Blue Sky. Bon Jovi, The Ultimate Collection: Almost the whole damn thing, both CDs... or at least until hubby's sick of Bon Jovi (so sometimes I have to play it in parts to break it up for him). Favorite Tracks: probably too many to mention, but especially Wanted Dead or Alive (singing it badly like Sam and Dean), Born to be My Baby, Blaze of Glory, Bed of Roses, It's My Life, and You Give Love a Bad Name. Credence Clearwater Revival, Chronical: Almost the whole thing. Some oldschool Supernatural stuff here, too. Favorite tracks: Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Down on the Corner, Looking Out My Back Door, Long As I Can See the Light, and Have You Ever Seen the Rain? Weird Al, The Essential Weird Al Yankovic: About 75% of it, and there are 38 songs here. Favorite Tracks (tough to choose): One More Minute, The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, Since You've Been Gone, Amish Paradise, Everything You Know Is Wrong, The Night Santa Went Crazy, eBay, and White and Nerdy. heywood banks, Treated and Released: 65% of it. heywood is an acquired taste, but I love him. This album doesn't have my favorite heywood song (Mean to Me), but it has the most in one place. Favorite tracks: You Never Know ***, If I Had a Bulldozer, Dust Mites (awesome for bug-loving me, funny too), The Cat Got Dead, Probably Just the Television ****, and 911 (so, so wrong. Hee) I used to listen to a Joe Cocker's greatest hits CD that included "I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today," but I lost that CD somehow, and for some reason you can't get that CD song collection on i tunes - go figure. Someday I'm going to have to buy it somewhere and replace, because that CD was awesome, and I love that song so much (I saw him sing it live on the Grammy's and it made my dad and I cry it was so beautiful). Single songs I inevitably want to play either via a CD or through hubby's phone: Bon Jovi's Right Side of Wrong and Two Story Town, Augustana's Boston (love this one especially), Joshua Kadison's Jessie and Postcards from L.A., The Polyphonic Spree's Light and Day / Reach for the Sun, Marc Cohn's Waking in Memphis and True Companion (this one makes me cry though), David Allen Coe's You Never Even Called me By My Name, Faith Hill's When the Lights Go Down and Cry a Little, Shakira's Underneath Your Clothes, Little River Band's Cool Change, Crosby, Stills and Nash's Southern Cross... probably more, but I'll shut up now. * Contains one of my favorite song opening lines "The Texas sun beats down upon me like the devil's smile" ** Probably their most well known song is "Somewhere Only We Know" which was done on Glee *** You Never Know... who's got a gun. This song is so wrong, but so funny. **** The payoff of this one comes at the very end. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1374718
Omegamom July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Oooh, Marc Cohn...True Companion and Perfect Love were both "our songs" for hubby and me, along with the Indigo Girls' The Power of Two and...um...okay, there was another one. Anyway, Marc Cohn has some awesome stuff. I really like Paper Walls and Lost You In the Canyon, too...pretty much all of his albums, all the way through. Mellow and alternative stuff: Indigo Girls, all of Swamp Ophelia. Their updated version of This Train is gut-wrenching, about the trains to the concentration camps. (Don't remember if it's on Swamp Ophelia, though.) Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, and their cover of Turn the Page. Tracy Chapman's first album (I think) is pretty good all the way through, specifically Fast Car, Mountains Of Dimes, Ralph McTell does very nice folky stuff about Ireland. Some Lyle Lovett...Church, She's No Lady, If I Had A Boat. Nanci Griffith--Love at the Five And Dime is just too cute. Can't remember specific other songs off the top of my head. Mary Chapin Carpenter--10,000 Miles (the song at the end of Fly Away Home) makes me weep, This Shirt, He Thinks He'll Keep Her. Sting--Fields of Gold, Seven Days is a hoot... Heart--Dog and Butterfly, Steamboat Annie. Eagles--Seven Bridges Road, a specific live version of Hotel California which I can't track down, dammit, but plays on the classic rock station here all the time, Take It Easy. CS&N--Southern Cross, Cathedral (kinda eerie), Suite Judy Blue Eyes, Teach Your Children Well, Guinevere, Our House... Linda Ronstadt--Someone To Lay Down Beside Me, Blue Bayou... Gerry Rafferty--Baker Street. Boz Scaggs--Lido Shuffle, Lowdown, JoJo... Fleetwood Mac--Crystal, Landslide, O Daddy, Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Chains... Jackson Brown--The Pretender, In the Shape of a Heart, Tender Is the Night... Chris Izaak--San Francisco Days, Wicked Game... Paula Cole--Where Have All the Cowboys Gone kd Lang--Hush Sweet Lover, Constant Craving, Hallelujah... The problem with my "mellow selection" is it might be too mellow. ;-) I will follow up tomorrow with my more hard stuff. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1374871

I haven't cried, and as for what's wrong with me, I'd guess a lot. If you need a road trip playlist just take a look at Los Santos Rock Radio from GTA V. "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas, "Lonely Is the Night" by Billy Squier, "I Can't Wait" by Stevie Nicks, "The Break Up Song" by Greg Kihn Band, "I'm Free" and "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen, "Fortunate Son" by CCR, "Circle In the Sand" by Belinda Carlisle, "Burning Heart" by Survivor, "Rain" by The Cult, "Peace of Mind" by Boston, "Cat's In the Cradle" by Harry Chaplin, "Shadows of the Night" by Pat Benatar, "Night Moves" and "Hollywood Nights" by Bob Seger, "Photograph" by Def Leppard, "We Built This City" by Starship, "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles, and "Roundabout" by Yes. Generally if I'm going somewhere I'll just play my Star Wars playlist (every song from 6 movies), a playlist of songs from Marvel movies, playlist of songs from DC movies and television, a playlist of songs from Chuck, or a playlist of songs from wrestling.

FlickChick July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) I absolutely, positively, cannot watch the warehouse scene with Dean's "family" in What Is and What Should Never Be without crying. And that's only after I've recovered from the earlier scene at "John's" grave. I almost always cry when Dean is holding Sam's body at the end of All Hell Breaks Loose, Pt. 1. Also, the first time I watched it, I cried when Sam said "I'm supposed to wake up" while holding Dean's body on the first Wednesday in Mystery Spot. To be honest, I've cried in more episodes of this series than I have in any other in my long, long TV-watching history. I guess these characters really tug at my heart.

DittyDotDot August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 Actual crying? No. There have been a few times my cold dark heart was warmed: What Is And What Should Never Be the scene with the family in the warehouse is pretty heart wrenching, but it's when Dean is looking at the magazine and realizes Carmen was the beer ad girl that gets to me; All Hell Breaks Loose I with Dean holding on to a stabbed Sammy; the scene of them fixing Baby at the end of Fresh Blood; when Dean tells Sam to remember what he taught him in No Rest For The Wicked. There's not too much after S3, though--I think they may have over-played that card by then--except Dean's little stone one speech to Sam and Bobby's death in S7. Fan Fiction had me almost tearing up at Chuck's reveal, but I'm sure that was more due to me not keeping up on the dusting than anything. ;) 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1377761

I didn't really mind either version of Meg. Meg 1.0 was definitely the edgier, meaner version and that fit her character at the time.

For the most part, it seems women fall into two categories on this show--hot and snarky badass or mother-like figures (who can also be snarky and badass)--I find it's the actresses who make them feel like individual characters. Ellen, Jo, Naomi, Abaddon and Pamela are probably more down to the actresses who played them than the actual writing. That could also be said about the male characters too, though. Little kids are always so hit and miss for me anyway as kid actors don't generally have the experience and emotional maturity to find a character and instead just play themselves, IMO. Supernatural seems to do well in finding the right little kid for the role. Audrey, Todd and especially little Lilith were very effective. I think the problem with teen characters is they rarely are played by actual teens, but instead young adults who seem to be overplaying their roles.

The CW would promote the heck out of stuff like Gossip Girl, their 90210 and Melrose takes, and Vampire Diaries, but not advertise Supernatural and Smallville. Let's not even get into the network's decision to postpone the returns of Smallville and Supernatural with less than 24 hours notice, because Vampire Diaries had to go against American Idol (which both Supernatural and Smallville have had to at times), so they could show Vampire Diaries and Nikita again. I have such a hard girl crush on Sarah Shahi. I remember her 2 guest spots on Reba, which is another show that got screwed by Dawn Ostroff. The best guest spot included the line from Van (played by Shahi's husband) when Shahi's character said she was falling apart, "I don't see anything falling, but I do see parts."

I also think that Dylan Everett did a great job playing Dean as a teen, and especially as adult Dean in a teen body in "About a Boy". 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1396065
Demented Daisy August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I've come to think the female characters who have come off okay for me might be down to casting. For the most part, it seems women fall into two categories on this show--hot and snarky badass or mother-like figures (who can also be snarky and badass)--I find it's the actresses who make them feel like individual characters. Ellen, Jo, Naomi, Abaddon and Pamela are probably more down to the actresses who played them than the actual writing. That could also be said about the male characters too, though. I keep forgetting about Naomi. That makes me sad because Amanda Tapping deserved a much better storyline, IMO. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1396170
Mick Lady August 8, 2015 Share August 8, 2015 Psst...I believe they have used Deep Purple. End of a S6 episode where Dean uncovers Baby and gets back out on the road...didn't they use Smoke on the Water there? And, for some reason I'm thinking they used Mountain in a S1 episode, but I'm blanking on the episode or even the scene right now. There was quite a bit of music being played in the background of some of the bar scenes in S1; I have a hard time keeping them all straight anymore. My God Dot, you're right! Thanks!

Mick Lady August 13, 2015 Share August 13, 2015 This is how she's getting her vengeance on us for making her obsess over theories in the spoiler thread Damn right! I admit, when Snakebite showed me this site, I thought of you all immediately! I need my sanity and the spoiler thread is driving me crazy! Believe me, you haven't lived until you've sat around with a bunch of the "*81" and argued about Supernatural! I put up the spoiler thread and it started a discussion that lasted for hours! More than one Biker told me, "You tell anyone about this, you're dead!" They bookmarked site though. Never saw so many guys whip out their phones so fast! I told them, "I have the coolest friends ever!" 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1411214

AwesomO4000 August 13, 2015 Share August 13, 2015 Awesom04000, don't you have something better to do??!! You know, like write? Says the woman trying to distract me with potentially drawing stick figures ; ) ... *Will not click on link* Actually I'm supposed to be finishing my presentation / lab prep for my Integrated Pest Management lab tomorrow, so I'm not sure if that's better or worse. Sometimes Powerpoint drives me crazy though... to the point that I talk to the screen: "No, I'm trying to move that one, the one I'm clicking on you stupid...." *mutter mutter mutter* But I promise that I'm also writing. Lab will be done tomorrow afternoon, and then I'm free to write again. I'm almost done with the next chapter, and I had a major plot breakthrough for the story as a whole, too, so that's a good thing. Okay, break over: back to the bugs... 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1411302
Mick Lady August 13, 2015 Share August 13, 2015 I get it AwesomO4000, I spent the last five years of my "professional" life on oral boards and sponsoring PhD. candidates, so I get the stress! But meanwhile, we have a bigger problem. Omegamom has a thing for hamsters! It's getting out of hand, and I thought catrox was the one we had to worry about! You guys are nuts! But you've given more fun than I've had for a long time. Thanks to everyone of you! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/14/#findComment-1411364
