Re: ooc: volume 2

Well you guys earned it so I'm glad you're excited! Also, we have a new player folks. Everyone welcome Josephine!

Also, before I forget, Kate is still pretty busy so her character will be out of the action for a bit, though she informs me she will be coming back as soon as she's able.

Re: ooc: volume 2

The rumour from Dark Lily is that Penny and Kate are related. The most likely explanation is that Kate is Penny's great-great...-great-granddaughter.

Re: ooc: volume 2

I couldn't help but find out a few things on accident. I have a feeling I'm not going to like this season....sigh. Why do they always have to ruin things? I've noticed the majority of tv shows crap out the longer they've been on. There are only a handful of shows that are good all the way through. I hope they find a way to fix things but my hopes aren't up. Of course I only know the bare bones of what's going on. Lately I've been watching a lot of cooking shows just to get away from all the drama of everything else I watch. No one dies in cooking shows... I get way too attached to characters.

Re: ooc: volume 2

Spoiler-free whinge follows.

Individual stories are still good, there's some gems and some average ones, but there's also too many episodes dedicated entirely to the season arcs, as usual now. But the season stories are just floundering. The first five revolved around demonic schemes, from the Yellow-Eyed Demon's plan to the Apocalypse and were well-structured, but after that, it's just after-effects and increasing problems. They're triggered only by Sam and Dean or Castiel just making obviously really dumb decisions that have obviously catastrophic consequences, or just ignoring and overriding each other's wise decisions because they can't bear to be be without each other. It's particularly egregious now: Dean's got a handle on his curse, has accepted it, is in control, is patient about finding a cure in their own way, and is at last happy and content with his life as a hunter. So Sam sees him as spiralling out of control, on the verge of succumbing, and is panicking and desperate to find a cure, whatever the risks. And it's just the reverse of last season's problem anyway. Each big problem of a season is just the reverse or repeat of one in the last.

A whole new mob of bad guys have appeared in the last few episodes of the season (and one of them has already appeared in this game ;) ), like they were getting to the end and needed something to end the season on. Like with Metatron when he appeared at the tail end of Season 8. Meanwhile, villains at the beginning who could have been interesting new threats are resolved early on.

It's good not to keep upping the ante on threats, but this new pattern is just tiring and doesn't reflect well on the characters. But then, I'm just not a fan of season arcs and big over-season stories. Good, independent stories are what you build a series on and attract viewers with. But every TV series needs an arc these days, even if the writers are out of ideas what to do with them. Ten years is an impressive run, but it's understandable they'd run out of ideas. I think a shake-up is in order: a new format (the city-based Bloodlines spin-off could have been a good set-up), new regulars (Sam & Dean take on apprentice hunters, say), and a new villains with a plot that doesn't come out of the actions of the regulars. In 2012, they could have done the Mayan Apocalypse instead. Unfortunately, Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Crowley are too popular with fans and the writers know it, and keep turning back to them to carry the seasons.

Re: ooc: volume 2

Wednesday my son jumped out of a swing at school. He got a hairline fracture in his foot. I spent yesterday being mommy and today he went back to school with his "boot" on. He is in less pain and I think eager for the attention.

Re: ooc: volume 2

I did that as a kid and fractured my wrist and compressed my spine. I'm so sorry.

Re: ooc: volume 2

Yikes! Sounds painful! We grew up without insurance so we always knew to be extra careful if we didn't want to financially destroy our family, lol. Of course we did stupid stuff anyway so I think it was luck combined with divine intervention that kept me from breaking anything. Kids were always busting their hands playing tetherball too. Good thing I sucked at it!

Glad to hear his mood is up! That always helps!

Re: ooc: volume 2

And hurling yourself off a swing several meters up into the air and landing in sand seems like such a fun thing to do too... And this was after being the very last kid in school to dare try it, at the end of the year, I was the first to have an accident.

Maybe it could have been worse. He could've landed on his butt. :) The fractured wrist was the main problem, I just had a cast for a while. I barely noticed the spine thing as a kid, but maybe I do now as an adult.

Re: ooc: volume 2

I tried that once! I was barely moving cuz I was a chicken and landed on my face in the barkdust and split my lip. Could have been a lot worse. Man, some of the things kids do! I still think I have occasional back twinges from an old red rover mishap. I can't imagine the disk thing. Hopefully it doesn't affect you much, spines are finicky things.

Re: ooc: volume 2

Crazy week just crazier. I randomly seem to have obtained a new client (for now anyway) who is coming tomorrow so it throws off my day. I'll try to squeeze in a post but we'll see. Friday I work all day so no posts then either though Thursday looks benevolent so far..,

Re: ooc: volume 2

Mwahahahahaha! Yes, I am truly impudent am I not? Just wait til I tell you that tomorrow is possibly a no go because of work and Monday the same because my husband is off for the holiday. Oh wait...I just did... ;P

And Friday the 29th may also be out...lol! I swear I normally post quite regularly!

On another note I couldn't help myself and read a recap of the supernatural finale. I won't discuss spoilers here but sigh. Just, sigh. And not the dreamy pleasant sort of sigh.

I am entirely patient and respectful of our GM's time and needs. :p

The finale is still next week here. Ah well. Carry on, my wayward son.
