metallidean_grl here.As E said, Man in the Wilderness by Styx is so perfect for Dean. I remember going \O/ when it started playing in 8x01 as it showed Dean returning from Purgatory. So perfect. I have always loved this song. Styx' Grand Illusion was/is one of my all time favorite albums. The whole album is gold. When it first came out I wore the grooves deeper in the album from all the times I played that album. It's one of the albums I upgrade to new medium with each evolution of music platforms. In fact, I had to go pull up the album on my iPhone and the album is playing now. Brings back such memories of my college days. :)
In curiosity I looked up the album on Wikipedia, and found this description of the album by Dennis DeYoung of Styx:

the album's theme was the struggle to overcome self-deluding superficiality in order to affirm one's genuine value. This theme was reflected in the lyrics of the album's title track:
So if you think your life is complete confusion
'cause your neighbor's got it made
just remember that it's a grand illusion
and deep inside we're all the same

Random 8x23 thoughts
May. 17th, 2013 08:49 amI was driving to work yesterday, thinking about the brother scene at the end of 8x23, and this song came on my iPod. The words seemed to apt for Sam & Dean in 8x23 that I wanted to share it.
"Cause even stars they burn, some even fall to the Earth. We've got a lot to learn. God knows we're worth it. I won't give up."
Given that Ash48 has basically written everything that I also believe for 8x23, go here and <-- what she said.

8x22 reaction (spoilers)
May. 8th, 2013 09:31 pmFirst off. I liked the episode. Overall I'm liking what's happening with all the major characters in the last 5ish episodes. I've been a bit eeyore-ish about the whole "character growth" stuff. But I'm beginning to buy it. And like it.
I like the way Sam & Dean are working together as a team. I like Dean looking after Sam. I do not begrudge Sam the "opportunity" (lol, opportunity) to do the trials instead of Dean. I read somewhere else that Dean has been and always will be the heart of the show and is always about relationships and looking after those he cares about. I like that about Dean. I do not think it takes anything away from him being a hero. I like Dean's sense of loyalty. And how it's really the one thing he has trouble forgiving. When someone betrays loyalty, he shuns them. He did it to Sam. Now he's doing it to Cas. When I saw the stills from this episode, I commented that it seemed like Cas might not be visible to Dean and Sam because of the body language I saw in the stills. I was wrong. But I was also kinda right. Dean was ignoring Cas because he was very, very angry at him.
I like what's happening with Sam. No, I don't mean I like that he's suffering (well, mostly. *g*) I like his determination. I like that he believes he is being purified. I just really, really like Sam right now.
And I like the brother relationship right now. A lot.
I like what's happening with Kevin. I've always been very neutral towards Kevin. The last few eps I'm really starting to like him.
I like Cas right now. I've always liked season 4-ish Cas. Bamfy Cas. However. I think Dean's reaction to Cas' statement that Cas thought he was trying to do the right thing, was apt. And Cas. Seriously? Maybe closing the gates of Heaven is the right thing. I don't know. But, to me, it feels like Cas is too easily swayed into thinking the ends justifies the means. I think he's making the same mistake all over again.
I even like that Crowley has gotten more evil. I like that Abaddon is back and that she is now loose again. I loved the way she broke free. I don't have a major opinion on whether I want to see the end of Crowley or not. I could go either way.
As much as I hated to see Sarah die. I appreciate that why she had to die. Crowley's threat had to really mean something to the brothers. And just killing off somewhat meaningless people they had previously saved, does not have the same impact of Sam and Dean being in the room when one of their former saved victims that really *means* something to them, dies in front of their eyes. And they fail to save her. Makes the shit REAL.
I really don't have much idea about the finale other than what was shown in the preview. I'm not going to stay spoiler or speculation free. I'm still not totally re-assured about where the show is going, so I'm devouring anything I can about what will be happening. But things are still pretty cryptic out there. Although there is a lot of speculation.
There is still *something* missing for me in the show. I can't totally put my fingers on it. Innocence maybe? Just the number of years I've been following the show. I still remember how episodes in S4 literally ripped my heart out. I still love the show and am very invested and really enjoying the last half of this season. I love the MoL concept and am looking forward to seeing it play out in future seasons. I just, sometimes, kinda miss the old days. But now it's kinda a fond, nostalgic thing. Not a ranty thing. Everything grows and evolves.

Found this very interesting and enjoyable.

SPN 8x14 - happy making
Feb. 15th, 2013 01:50 pmTHIS whole post and the comments on it makes me as happy as 8x14 did. :)
Let's hope this continues down this vein. I'm fully back in Pollyanna mode. I was drafting toward Eeyore, which so goes against my grain. But now there is hope and joy and squeeness in fandom again. :)

via Tumblr: Cheery (no spoilers)
Jan. 16th, 2013 09:50 pmWas looking through Tumblr for episode reactions. Never done that before. Not exactly sure what I should expect to see. Definitely see conversation. Somehow I expected more. What I'm seeing are variations on things I felt. LJ, unfortunately, is way too quiet on the episode (as is typical these days).
But came across this image and had to post because it just cheered me up from RL stuff. Maybe the blackberry was a promise of summer? Don't know. But I just stared at it and smiled.

Someone over on FB just posted this:
Edit: Correction the FB poster was linking to the Winchester Family Business Website, which is where this information came from.
I was able today to get hold of an advanced copy to the Comic-Con Special Edition of TV Guide. My copy has the gorgeous Winchester Brothers on both the front and back cover, Dean in front in the front cover and Sam in front on the back. The magazine features some big sections for "The Big Bang Theory," "Fringe," "The Vampire Diaries," "Person of Interest," "Nikita," "Children's Hospital," and of course "Supernatural," as well as previews for new shows "666 Park Avenue," "Arrow," "Revolution," "Cult," "The Following," and plenty of DC animation.
The "Supernatural" section is 8 pages long. It features the following:
- "Blood Brothers" - an interview with Jared and Jensen by Ileane Rudolph (no spoilers)
- "The Many Faces of Evil" - a look at the "Supernatural villains by Ileane Rudolph
- "Blood/Alcohol Content" - a breakdown of shooting the swordfight scene with the Shojo in "Party on Garth" by John Hogan
- "The Devil Is In The Details" - a "Supernatural" trivia quiz by Alice Jester (gee, I wonder who that could be???)
- "Burning Questions" - a season 8 preview interview with executive producer Robert Singer
( Under the cut is spoilery for the theme of S8-including some bits about how the Dean in purgatory bit is resolved. If you plan on buying and reading the Comic Con Supernatural TV Guide edition - this is a summary of the spoilery bits from a Robert Singer interview that is in that TV Guide. )
