So I watched Supernatural: The Meta Episode, No, The Other One, No, Not That One, Last Night's
I have no compulsion to be prosaic and coherent about it. Have a chat log.
juls: ok I am watching supernatural for like the first time this season.
Viridian5: Tonight's episode is not a good place to start!
juls: but it's ridorkulous! I don't care if it's awful, I just want to see.
Viridian5: It's not that. It's a meta episode. If you're not really familiar with the show and some of its fandom, a lot of it will fly over your head.
juls: I know it's a meta episode. that's why I want to see it. I haven't been watching this season but that's because I've been watching my droll moan about it in a way that makes it sound boring.
Viridian5: heh. It's been all right. Nothing great, and nothing that makes me go incendiary. I'm annoyed that the arc is "There's something wrong and off with Sam *again*".
juls: ok i'ma cop to this. the main reason I want to see this is misha collins playing himself.
Viridian5: In tonight's episode I was really amused by Misha Collins playing Misha Collins. Hint: He tweets a lot.
juls: daw, really?. is there any reference to a bathtub full of cranberries?
Viridian5: At one point he types in "Mishamigos". Nope. Also, he snivels when threatened with physical violence. *g*.
juls: well. gosh.
Viridian5: I'm always amused hearing his actual voice.
juls: OH OH OH IS RUBY ACTRESS IN THIS?
Viridian5: He's said that if he knew Cas would have a longterm presence on the show he wouldn't have spoken the way he does. Yes. Yes she is.
juls: I WILL DIE IF YAY OMG *EXPIRES*. it's like getting ruby back! except not evil!
Viridian5: She's concerned about endangered wildlife. And she and Jared have an alpaca outside his mansion or whatever.
juls: cracks up. @mishacollins mirrored the tweets.
Viridian5: I was wondering how he'd approach it in his Twitter.
juls: Most recent tweet: My phone was stolen and apparently cast into a parallel universe devoid of magic. I've retrieved it. I promise it won't happen again.
Viridian5: heh. The magicless world wasn't kind to him at all.
juls: yeah i heard. wow the previously ons make this look like it's gonna be major mytharc. that's HILARIOUS. "cassie" daww. I had heard of cas's ex.
Viridian5: I was trying to explain this episode to someone unfamiliar with the series and she was all o.O so they probably thought the Previouslys might help. I was happy to see Balthazar again. He was fun.
juls: they tailslated! daww. haahahah the rubber glass.
Viridian5: Can't let their well-paid babies get injured.
juls: hahahhahahahahhaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah the interview. oh my god this is freaking hilarious. OH THE IMPALAS.
Viridian5: Poor Dean. That's no way to treat his baby-- babies.
juls: I I I clearly I will be capslocking a lot.
Viridian5: Understandable. You'll be capslocking even more later.
juls: oh dear god misha's not castiel. oh boys. practicing lines OH MAN REAL VOICE HAPPINESS.
Viridian5: I told you.
juls: hahahaah "that's fake!me. this must be fake!mine.".
Viridian5: I guess you haven't seen Misha's Misha outfit yet.
juls: god i think it would have been more hilarious if they'd found jensen's dawson's creek stuff on youtube.
Viridian5: Dean really shouldn't be able to sneer since he watched [strike]Grey's Anatomy[/strike] Dr. Sexy's hospital drama.
juls: "wow, I must be the star of this thing".
Viridian5: Some targets that get major zinging in this ep are Bob Singer, Sera Gamble, and [SPOILER].
juls: GENEVIEVE HEART HEART HEART HEART OMG HEART.
Viridian5: hee. She looks good!
juls: "You married fake!Ruby?" mwaaaaah i hope there's more of her. HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG. wow. just totally got more footage for things.
Viridian5: She'll show up again.
juls: zomg.
Viridian5: What now?. Have you seen Jared's cowboy picture yet?.
juls: yes. just, happy. hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahah failure at acting. and misha's little "what the hell". and his hair needs a touch-up.
Viridian5: Dean: "I'm a painted whore!"
juls: hahahahaahahahah calling in Kripke because Sera is *neeeew*. this is ridic. hahahaahahahha the real robert singer.
Viridian5: Their own Uncle Bob.
juls: I really wanna know if that's actually the robert singer or if it's an actor playing.
Viridian5: I'm not sure.
juls: i'll poke imdb later. and there goes misha. sorry misha!. oh GOD. is it wrong to be cracking up at the maple leaves on the caution tape.
Viridian5: heh.
juls: "the scary man killed the attractive man"
Viridian5: The *crying* attractive man.
juls: Yes. http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI5NzAwODU4MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODA3NTgzNA@@._V1._SY317_CR1,0,214,317_.jpg wow seriously? this is the promo img these days?
Viridian5: Uhm. hee.
juls: not actual robert singer. nor actual eric kripke. god good match on kripke though. zomg they have some issues with kripke.
Viridian5: I'm wondering if Kripke sold his idea to Syfy. It sounds like their kinda thang.
juls: oh my god the hilarious hotel room set. okay the failure of the crash effect in episode is KILLING ME.
Viridian5: *g*
juls: i was halfway expecting that last scene with cas to go into "experimental" we technically have them saying all the words mode.
Viridian5: This season has had some weird filming and editing choices ihmo. Like how sometimes the camera spends a long time looking at something for no real reason. Or how some episodes seem to just stop instead of conclude at the end.
juls: clearly what they were cracking wise about.
Viridian5: I was annoyed by the gendered insults thrown at Raphael, but this show is infamous for that.
juls: huh that slid by me. I'm reading fic that handles bigendered angels rather well so it's like the show got a free pass off it? I should watch out for that. or maybe i am just not at a place where i'm treating it like canon and getting as pissed off as i ought to about abusing broadcast media to perpetuate hate.
Viridian5: I've gotten to a place with this series where I enjoy the little things I enjoy but sigh over the disappointments.
juls: in the fic I'm reading gabriel's attempting to court sam, sort of, without changing his behavior much so you know, it's hard to tell. and spends some time as a woman because Sam you know, notices the female form more. And when called on this Sam is like "...yes, okay, I'm straight, when you're a woman I want to kiss you more. however how much I *like* you has to do with how much of an asshole you're being, not which gender you're being."
Viridian5: Interesting. That's our Sam.
juls: ok people on my droll feel like that was more injokes from set and not *handwave* sufficiently transparent to fans. I felt like i got everything?
Viridian5: I feel like I got 95% of it. I've been reading some long fic so I haven't seen my f'list's reaction.
In other news, the Bel in my head, the one who was foolish enough to marry Miles, has gotten stuck explaining to Nikki that one-night-stand with Ivan and differing sexual mores of Barrayar and Beta whilst avoiding Ekaterin's hairy eyeball. To my amusement and Miles's, the point at which Bel is like, "Okay, we're wandering out of kid-appropriate territory" is regarding, um, motivations. Miles is like, "huh?" and Bel snaps back, "Would you explain to a kid about your black moods?" Miles is sort of shocked to find that anyone else ever has black moods. Ekaterin and Nikki are mostly just confused. Somehow (I'm thinking Nikki) Ivan hears just enough about this conversation to confront Bel about "wait, just what kind of self-flagellation was I functioning as for you?" And then Bel facepalms a lot.
juls: ok I am watching supernatural for like the first time this season.
