Technology Makes Everything Better
Mar. 29th, 2018 07:09 pmSo tonight is the Supernatural animated crossover with Scooby Doo. I've been looking forward to this episode for months. I even binge watched the episodes I was behind on last night so I would be all caught up for tonight.
Guess what? My cable provider has blacked out the episode in my viewing area. That means that friends of mine who only ever watch the show when I tell them there's an event episode will get to see it and I won't.
::pulls hair out::
Seriously, why do I bother?

I've been going through the Dreamwidth posts that I imported from LJ looking for import fails (any video I embedded in LJ didn't survive the move to Dreamwidth is one issue I've found), and it's been fun reading some old episode discussions. It's also been fun reading my predictions on how a story arc would go to see how right or wrong I turned out to be. Then tonight I found this in a reaction post I wrote for the Supernatural ep "Hammer of the Gods":
I wrote this as a joke on April 22, 2010. It took a few more seasons, but I did get Nicholas Lea and Gord (twice!). Supernatural has been renewed for another season. Can we get Chris Potter's agent on the phone?
Matt Frewer as Pestilence? You have no idea how happy this makes me! The only Canadian actors I have left on my wish list now are Nicholas Lea, Chris Potter, and Gordon Michael Woolvett. Every other Canadian actor I've ever wanted to see on the show has already appeared.

Chibi Sammy Finally Has a Brother

I may not be posting Supernatural episode reviews anymore, but I haven't forgotten about the show or Chibi Dean. He's finally finished!

He's looking a little blue because it's very overcast today.
The backstitching on Dean was even more of a nightmare than it was on Sam. At least Sam had a white shirt and a tan jacket. Backstitching in black on dark grey and darker grey was giving me fits. Ultimately I wound up cranking up my lamp as bright as it would go, using my LED headlamp, and using my 10X lighted magnifier while wearing my glasses all at the same time to try to see what I was doing.
Only one more project in this series and then I never have to use this horrible, horrible fabric ever again.

The Squee Is Gone
May. 5th, 2015 06:28 pmSo, it looks like I've stopped writing episode reaction posts. This was not a conscious decision on my part, more like a confluence of circumstances. Most of my shows are currently engaged in long-term story or character arcs that I actively dislike, while at the same time I've hit an amazing run of really good books in a row. I keep looking at the TV and thinking I should watch my shows, then reading instead. As a result, I'm way behind on many of my shows and uninspired to write about them, but I've completed 80% of my reading goal for the year on Goodreads.
I have no plans to leave LJ; I'll just have to find something else to post about. I also can't swear I'll never do episode posts again, but I just can't dredge up the squee to do them right now.
P.S. -- Where has Listopia been all my life? Gay Romance Featuring Psychics/Mediums/Shamans/Spiritualists was not a thing I knew I needed in my life, but guys, I am reading all the things.

SPN Ep: Paint It Black
Mar. 25th, 2015 10:13 pmOh, Illinois. It's so cute how you have to bust out the team news coverage for a lead story about a 2.9 magnitude earthquake that did no damage, caused no injuries, and that most people didn't even notice. California we are not.

SPN Ep: The Things They Carried
Mar. 18th, 2015 10:13 pmI'm pretty sure I've complained about this multiple times before, but why are family portraits on TV so badly Photoshopped? Seriously, I see more realistic manips done by fans on LJ and Tumblr every day.

SPN Ep: There's No Place Like Home
Jan. 28th, 2015 09:22 pmI should stop watching Justified right after Supernatural. It kills the momentum that usually sends me straight to my keyboard.

SPN Ep: The Hunter Games
Jan. 24th, 2015 03:11 pmWGN has the worst timing. Season finale? Preempt it. Game changing episode? Preempt it. Return from hiatus? Preempt it. And they used to at least run the preempted episodes sometime on Saturday when I would be awake to watch them. Now they run them very late on the same night, which I can't stay up to watch because I have to be at work at 7:30 a.m.
( Spoilers )
And now for the grand unveiling. I finished Sammy!

I already have the supplies I need to make Dean, so I'll be starting on him next episode.

SPN Ep: Girls, Girls, Girls
Nov. 26th, 2014 08:44 pmI think this episode should win some kind of award for having a plot that least resembled what the trailer implied it would be about.

SPN Ep: Ask Jeeves
Nov. 18th, 2014 11:58 pmI always feel bad for any episode that follows a truly stellar one like last week's. There's no way it can't suffer by comparison.
