hells_half_acreSo, I timelined 7x12 yesterday...
...and I noticed that Sam didn't specify AM or PM when he wrote 11:34 and summoned Chronos. Maybe it was in the words he said, because he didn't write down the date either...but still...I'd have thought he would have used the 24 hour clock.
Now, a random comment about Castiel in S6....
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who can see what a giant ass Castiel was to Dean. Everyone is always going on like Dean somehow betrayed Castiel and it's all Dean's fault and blah blah blah...but guys, Castiel=BAD FRIEND. You could argue that he doesn't know any better, because he's an angel, but that doesn't mean that Dean has no right to have his feelings hurt and react accordingly. After all, how else is Castiel supposed to learn that his actions were wrong, if not by Dean being honest.
Anyway, that's just been annoying me recently. I think it's Castiel's puppy-eyes that fool people. He's all "I am full of woe" and everyone is like "Oh noes!!" ..and meanwhile Dean is like "But he ignored me for a year when I was the most miserable that I have ever been in life, he then only came to see me when he needed something, and then he lied to me (by omission or otherwise) repeatedly...and then he wouldn't listen when I kept trying to warn him that his ideas were bad...and what? I'm supposed to just hug him and call it water under the bridge?!!" And Castiel is like "Yes, because you hurt my feelings by your reaction to me hurting your feelings...and you called me a baby twice...and even though that's really true, because I'm basically a five-year old, you should still apologize, and do whatever I say, because I helped you out a bunch of times in the past...before I treated you like shit...remember? Remember when I used to not treat you like shit? There we go. Now, let me open purgatory and then forgive me when I unleash unstoppable monsters onto the planet. And uh, don't pay attention to the fact that I broke your brother either and he'll probably slowly descend into madness. Let's just ignore that bit. Where's my hug?"
In other news: So far today, I have been punched in the thumb by an umbrella, I have sliced my finger open on a take-out container, and I have forgotten the naan. :( I'm really hoping my evening goes better.
I am cat/house-sitting for the next 10 days! Woo! Kitties! Thank goodness for allergy medication.

Date: 2012-01-21 05:27 am (UTC)Yeah! I agree. I like complicated characters, but no matter how much I like someone, I can still see their flaws and how they're meant to fit into the story. Cas literally cannot be a permanent character. Just the facts of life. A part of me wants him to always be with the boys, an impenetrable trio, but I know their characters far too well to know it's not even possible. An end to his character is fitting, but I want it done right.
It's funny; because I'm clearly a fan of Cas, I have a lot of fans on my flist who are super Cas fangirls, to the point where one of them isn't watching anymore because he's not in it. I honestly don't care what they do or don't do with the show, but I don't want to get into a massive discussion(mainly 'cause I don't have the energy) about my feels on Cas vs. theirs, so I usually just stick to happier subjects.
I always reserve judgement until something is completely over.
I try to take that approach to life as much as possible. It's the only thing that makes sense(as well as avoiding making you look like an idiot XD).

Date: 2012-01-21 05:42 am (UTC)I mean, even Bobby...at first I was fairly horrified that had killed him, and it's not like I don't want them to find a way to bring him back, I'll be happy if they do...it's just that I'd also be happy if he really was dead forever.

Indeed. It's why my Quick Reactions are always focused on the events of the episode and what I liked (the light topics) rather than me nitpicking every single detail and expounding on whether or not the writers have lost their way. :P

It's kinda wavered lately, but, if I write up a review for something, I try to stick with what I liked. There's always a million people talking about what they hate, so I like to stand out. And also reserve my judgments.

Date: 2012-01-21 05:58 am (UTC)Plus, you know, I only watch shows because they make me happy - so if they are making me miserable, there's something wrong, and I'll stop watching, rather than watch and then complain about it. :P
That being said, when I do truly loathe an episode, I admit it. For instance, I hate Swap Meat from S5. But, usually I leave it at that. "I really don't like Swap Meat", pretty much sums it up. There's no need to go on and on about it.
I enjoy our discussions too! :)
