Heath Ledger

A Knight's Tale is on BBC America.

Almost any time I see something with Heath Ledger acting in it, it's driven home yet again what a great loss to the acting world has been his untimely and way too young passing.  It was immediately clear to me when I first saw him in The Patriot as Gabriel Martin what an incredibly talented actor he would become.

Do you think Mattel’s new Game Designer Barbie doll looks, uncannily (and coincidentally as far as I know) a lot like Supernatural’s Charlie Bradbury, portrayed by actress Felicia Day?

Supernatural: The Return of Jacob Pond

I was just discussing at Supernatural Insider something about what characters from the past in Supernatural we'd like to see return.

What would you all think of a story idea like this one?  It's about the return of Jacob Pond, Amy Pond's kitsune son who swore to get revenge on Dean.

I'd tell a much more complex and interesting story than just a simple one of Jacob chasing Dean for revenge. Perhaps something like the following:

As the witches were gathering to help fight Amara, one among them, acting on her own and in desperation, cast a spell which freed a really deadly and powerful ancient creature from a magical prison it was in, a creature she was hoping to use to help fight Amara. She lost control of the situation, however, and the creature killed her and is still on the loose. Now, it's out there hunting and killing every kitsune it can find.

The reason why: the only way to destroy it is with a platinum arrow dipped in the blood of a kitsune. Seeking to render itself indestructible, the creature, which is also deadly and dangerous to humans, is trying to destroy all of the kitsune everywhere. And one of the story elements I'd put in is that a kitsune cannot touch platinum, so none of them can destroy the creature. It has to be done by someone else.

Enter Jacob Pond. A teenager now, he's gotten his girlfriend pregnant and has a son. He, his girlfriend, and his son were attacked by the creature and only barely escaped it with their lives and are on the run.

Jacob knows one person who may be able to help him save himself and his girlfriend and son and destroy the creature. The man upon whom he swore to avenge his mother. Dean Winchester. Dean, who feels some guilt at having killed Jacob's mother and is inwardly a bit bothered about the entire situation. Having just gotten his and Sam's mother back into their lives after so many years, he feels an unexpected empathy for Jacob's loss of his mother at Dean's hands.

The creature, as it hunts down and destroys every kitsune it can find, is also killing humans. Jacob and Dean need each other and have to put aside the animosity between them to stop the creature.

And this story happens, if it were up to me, right after the events of the last episode of Season 11. Sam has been shot and taken prisoner back to England by the woman from the British Men of Letters chapter. Dean and Mary are about to try and go to rescue Sam from them, knowing the British MOL want to also capture Dean, then bring him and Sam to trial before a Men of Letters tribunal.

A couple hundred thousand souls

Hmm, if each soul has the energy of 100 suns, then 250,000 souls would equal the energy of 25 million suns.

Supernatural and the fight against Amara

If they’re gathering an army to fight her of all the powers in the universe: God, angels, Lucifer, witches, demons et al, didn’t they forget one group? Why haven’t they also gathered all the remaining demigods, too?  Athena and others like her, for example.  Arguably, their power is as great as that of the witches or the demons. And, as far as Michael being in no shape to fight, isn’t even 20 percent of one more archangel better than nothing?

Or the fandom is post-racial, so they don’t think in those terms, instead think of it as not mattering what ethnicity someone’s partners are?

Fandom is racist example #58924

Rey and Jessica Jones both have awesome hero love interests who are black. So fandom ships both women with white villains who have tortured them.

That’s Katie Cassidy, isn’t it?  Same actress as Ruby in Supernatural?

Best of Laurel Lance in season 4 - part 1/?

What do you think of it if one group of white people who do the wine and cheese set and hobnob with university professors, politicians, and celebrities and watch tennis or golf look at another group of white people who, for example, drink beer and eat nachos and watch football on the weekend, and the first group points their nose in the ear at the second group and calls them “rednecks” or otherwise puts them down as “plebeian” or some other criticism?

Black people who don’t know AAV are still Black. Black people who don’t like or take part in traditionally Black activities are still Black. You don’t get to revoke someone’s Black card because they haven’t watched this movie or don’t relate with the #growingupblack tweets. Your Blackness makes you Black and being Black in the diaspora is a multi faceted, complex identity. No one would tell an English person that they aren’t English if they don’t like fish and chips or tea.(or they wouldn’t seriously mean it/ostracized them)

On the flip side, not identifying with certain aspects of Black culture doesn’t make you better than anyone else. You aren’t more enlightened or intelligent because you listen to Beethoven and like classic rock. You aren’t more worthy of respect because you don’t speak AAV. Liking anime doesn’t make you special. Not listening to trap music doesn’t make you smarter. And I know this from a personal stand point that a lot of Black people that don’t identify with Black culture feel like other Black people who do are less deep than them, more of a stereotype. They aren’t two dimensional or more shallow.

Don’t disregarded the diversity of the Black identity. We are amazing and complex and should allow for that space. We need to stand together. I love my people and we need to learn to love and accept each other.

     Ferris is kind of casual, loose, the rules don’t apply to him, and the master of every situation into which he gets in one way or another.  His sister, Jeannie, has an aggressive sibling rivalry with him because she thinks he always gets his way about everything in life compared to her.  And Jeannie constantly hears her brother’s name from other people EVERYWHERE and/or sees his name EVERYWHERE she turns almost as if he’s the god of high school and the patron god of the city of Chicago, which only annoys her even more.  You’d really have to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, though, to really see what I mean.      The way Chuck sits around the bunker in a bathrobe chilling, using Dean’s laptop, and all the rest, his general demeanor, seems very Ferris Bueller-like, as if all of eternity is, to put it a certain way, Chuck’s Day Off.  Perhaps Amara has a kind of darker version of Jeannie Bueller’s aggressive sibling rivalry feelings towards him.

Chuck and Amara

“Isms, in my opinion, are not good.  A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.” - Ferris Bueller The atheist prophet tells Chuck/God that ten minutes ago he didn’t believe in him, that he was a part of an ism: atheism. Then Chuck says “That’s okay.  I believe in me.” ______________________________________________________________     I find myself wondering if there’s a hint at something about the troubled family relationship between Chuck and Amara with regard to the ongoing storyline.  Especially since, a lot of the time, Chuck does kind of act the part of the insouciant and snarky rascal like Ferris.     Kind of like the sibling rivalry between Ferris Bueller and Jeannie Bueller, except darker and obviously divine.

Chuck and Becky

That moment you realize that if Chuck in fact is God in Supernatural, then Becky Rosen made it with God and for a time was his girlfriend and didn’t even know it.
