news from television land
i. My mother, on Community: "So when are Troy and Abed actually going to start dating?" This from the woman who loves both Life on Mars and White Collar, but thinks that Sam/Gene and the OT3 are far-fetched notions. Hey, Community writers! My het-centric mum thinks it should be canon Troy/Abed time!
ii. After ... roughly six years of a quiet internal will-I-won't-I and laughing at the fandom from afar, I ... appear to be watching Supernatural. I am watching it in a way where I am vetting episodes via wiki summary, and mostly watching the arc-plot stuff or the episodes with guest stars I like, and it is entirely possible that I will hit "Can't do this, too many dead women," sooner rather than laterbut on the other hand I watched all of s1 Game of Thrones. In any case, this television viewing brought to you by Dragon*Con, or more specifically Becca and Pali's two-hour late-night pitch about a show of, yeah, problematic stuff, but also codependency and moral ambiguity and other stupid things I love. And also Mark Sheppard's face. MARK SHEPPARD, WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT SO MANY SEASONS FOR YOUR FACE.
iii. I'm not actually sure I have a third television thing! But it seems asymmetrical otherwise. Eh, it's okay, I should be devoting more energy to writing than to watching things anyway.

See, I really enjoy the Sam and Dean Are Not Functional Humans show, especially when they awkwardly try to talk about their feelings or point out to each other how much their childhood warped them. But I think what I'm enjoying most is how they're working things out now that John is out of the way and they can't just operate my automatically obeying (Dean) or disobeying (Sam) his orders. They actually have to make decisions for themselves! They have to evaluate the world and come to their own conclusions! They have to make incredibly stupid decisions based on their epic co-dependence and inability to even pretend to be functional humans without the other person in their life!
I mean, okay, they don't have to do that last one. BUT STILL. And then John shows up and suddenly they're like kids again, and Dean's just obeying and Sam's just rejecting, and while that's... probably pretty true to, you know, psychology, I just can't get into it as much.
