:D :D :D    •   2.01 In My Time of Dying -- this has got to be one of my favorite episodes of all. What do I love about it? Everything. I love Dean wandering around trying to be a Hero while dead. I freaking adore Tessa. I love John's stupid, stupid deal. I love Sam and the ouija board and the dropped cup of coffee. There is nothing wrong anywhere with this ep. Pure SPN perfection at its very best.
:D    •   2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown -- Ash is the best. Dean commits domestic battery. All the feels.
:D :D    •   2.03 Bloodlust-- LENORE!!!!! Gosh I loved her so much. One of the first times we really get to see a "monster" struggling to keep a grip on her humanity. And Gordon mindf*king Dean, whoah, and Dean all splashed with blood. whrrr.
o_o    •   2.04 Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things -- this one doesn't thrill me.
:D   •   2.05 Simon Said -- first Ben Edlund ep! so many amazing moments!!! and at the same time, it plays out sad when the good twin still has to whammy the girl.   The first of the Edlund eps that made me buy the spn DVDs and take the plunge. :)
:) •   2.06 No Exit -- I always liked Jo and was annoyed back in the day about all the folks who enjoyed hating on her. Glad times have changed. yeah maybe Jo has a little crush on Dean -- who DOESN'T.
:D    •   2.07 The Usual Suspects -- this for some reason is a favorite of mine. I love Linda Blair as the lady cop, and I love the tension with her partner and the way Sam gets her to trust him, and I love Dean's way with the police and the scripts the boys run while held separately. Just an awesome story. Cathryn Humphris works on Elementary now. :)
:D •   2.08 Crossroad Blues -- who doesn't love this? :)
:D •   2.09 Croatoan -- my favorite moment in this is actually an Impala moment -- when Dean is idling talking to the guys at the roadblock and suddenly puts her in reverse and does an amazing fishtail turn. So hot for Baby!
:) •   2.10 Hunted a good one but I don't rewatch it much.
:) •   2.11 Playthings -- a lot of good moments in this one made me like it.
:D :D :D •   2.12 Nightshifter -- a top favorite. Sealed the deal between me and SPN. So much awesome everywhere. and Renegade!!!!!
:D :D •   2.13 Houses of the Holy -- I love the images of Michael in the church, and the way there is something more going on somehow that's never explained. A fantastic ep.
:D •   2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign: I remember how we called this BUABS. :) And everyone was hot for Evil Sam (still are).
:D :D :D •   2.15 Tall Tales. Super favorite. This is the ep I use to introduce people to SPN.
:) •   2.16 Roadkill -- I really liked this one. First indication of a ghost with some independent will, and she goes into the light.
:) •   2.17 Heart -- Poor Sam and Madison. Now Sam figures he is cursed. ):
:D :D •   2.18 Hollywood Babylon -- top favorite. I really like the funny ones. Dean is a hell of a PA. I love what that says about him, the skillset he has that is not 100% Hunter, but is more versatile than that.
:D :D •   2.19 Folsom Prison Blues -- so good. Dean adapts to Prison life way too well. Plus Tiny!
:D :D :D :D •   2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be -- perhaps the best ep ever from a Dean grl perspective. right?
:D   •   2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One & 2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two -- series finales don't do it for me like all the other eps.... idk why. Of course Cold Oak and Sam's resurrection and Dean's deal and killing the demon. But what really gets me is the aftermath I guess...

My spn ficlets celebrating the eight seasons so far are inspired by the Midwinter prompt collection at day by drabble , found here under the Midwinter Prompts tag. If you need prompts these are pretty cool for Sam and Dean! Let me know if you are inspired. :)

SPN FICLET for S1: " Longing"

It seemed to Dean that he had always been longing for Sam.
( read the ficlet! )

=====
SPN FICLET for S2: "the Axe poised to Fall"

Dean can see it, hear himself saying it, like a prophecy, the worst kind of nightmare:
( read another ficlet!! )

This evening in honor of the eight seasons retrospective we watched a great episode from s2, Tall Tales.

I love how fully formed the character of the Trickster already is in this episode. The knowledge that he is also a renegade Archangel with all the powers of an Archangel makes it even more wonderful. And Bobby! Jim is so great in this ep, really whipping the boys back into line.

My favorite thing about this ep of course is the way the boys jibe at each other. I love the way they misremember Dean at the bar with Starla -- each in their own way. Jared is having such a great time in this ep! :D Sam is so cross with Dean throughout the ep, and Dean is mostly a put upon big brother and annoying in his own way. :) I love the whole vibe where the two of them snipe at each other and Bobby calls them an old married couple. The payoff is at the end when they apologize to one another wordlessly over the roof of the Impala. What a great ep. Now I want to watch all the Gabriel eps one after another. :)

The fight on the bed is so fun!

I still hope to do a few drabbles for these seasons. I had a busy weekend and then had son and husband home today sick. So, I'm behind!

I set quite a few challenges for myself in 2009 and made a big leap forward in terms of numbers of stories and words posted.
Thanks so very much to all who commented! I know some people say "you write for yourself" but personally, I write to communicate my ideas to others. I am honestly very interested in whatever you have to say, be it positive or politely negative.

72 pieces, includings stories, ficlets, poems and drabbles (77,000 words)

plus Seven Substantial Metas.

And a Song!! :)

LOVE IS COMMENTS. :)

I honestly don't know whether I'll write this much again in 2010, as my goal is to do more personal writing in my private journal, which has fallen by the wayside in recent years, and to write more poems and songs about real life.

I'll also be posting that roundup meme. Cheers to you, flist! Happy New Year!

( SEE THE LIST IN ITS AWESOMENESS. )

THE WOMEN OF SEASON TWO! 18 pieces = around 14,000 words. :)

Thanks to

alias_chick for hosting 42 Days of Metallicar. This completes my series about the Women of Season Two!

Summary: "Greetings to our sisters in St. Louis, from the Winchester Girls in Little Rock. I, Mara Daniels, Attorney at Law, do attest ...." This is all well and good, till Becky gives it to Dean and he reads it!( Read more... )

This weekend, guess what I was STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO? ALMOST RIGHT! the 1968 Chevy Impala two door.
I thought my heart was going to fly out of my chest. The sound of it! SQUEEEEEEEEEE! Just, I was RIGHT THERE NEXT TO AN IMPALA. RUMRUMRUMRUMRUMRUMRUMRUM! It was so beautifully restored. I made a fool of myself in front of all my RL friends, who DO NOT UNDERSTAND CLASSIC CARS. They drive, like, a PRIUS, and NOT BECAUSE AN ANGEL MADE THEM. Which, is actually a good thing, my own car gets 42 highway, but IMPAAAALAAAAAAA!!!! tears of midlife envy and heavy heartfelt sighs.

IN OTHER NEWS, I completed my kamikaze remix, which features Ellen! and Jo! and I am fairly pleased with it. Kamikaze Remix Reveals will be on Sept. 12. It is the unrevealed WOMEN OF SUPERNATURAL story #36! :)

So Here are four more Women of SPN. I only have one or two more to go from Season Two -- YAY!

( Bobby had some unfinished business. )

With season two, Supernatural takes a marked turn-- in s1, most women did not recur for more than one episode -- the exception is the demon, Meg. With s2, however, we meet three women who have big recurring roles -- Jo, Ellen, and the Crossroads Demon -- and also Tessa, who we meet again. I've already written a couple of stories with Tessa in them (The Long Hall, about Dean, and The Night Weighs Heavy, about Sam), and about the Impala appearing as part of a Reaper (the Layla story), so I need more time on Tessa, and I think the Harvelle women and the CRD need pretty strong stories, since so many people have worked on them. So, I'm breaking chronological order to present these two POEMS for two women of s2. Thanks for reading!
