i'm just hoping for a middling episode at this point. if i had to point to one plot thing that opened the door to so much of the nonsense of later seasons, it's the whole men of letters concept. like a neverending excuse to make up new magic, monsters, good guys, bad guys. i like that it gave them a home, but i really don't enjoy that set. it's so sterile and meh. wish they had a crusty weird house packed with shit, like bobby's place. anyway. long held irritation over mol. and the british men of letters storyline is like all those things i hate x1000. i see how they're kind of working ketch like crowley, what side is he working for, loyal to himself in the end, etc. but i just can't give a flying fuck about ketch because of the infuriating b!mol arc. and mark sheppard had years to work into that role and for them to develop it. meh!
tentacle monster coming through the nexus with the beautiful young flapper lady is chained to the table...... ok....
also where did those randos get archangel grace in the 20s
dean, come collect your man, he's drooling on the books again.
by collect, i did not mean put "kick me" sticky notes on him -_-
well that little research montage sequence was cute. is the "jinkies" thing to tease sam about velma kissing him? or just general acknowledgement that the scooby episode did actually happen -_-
spn s13e17 key to chapterhouse / hannibal s3e6 reunited in the uffizi / the magicians s3e5 key to fillory clock door
so two things that jumped out at me about this scene. first, it just had a little more atmosphere and pretty for pretty's sake with the crumbled leaves falling through the shaft of light - which all kind of hit the magicians buttons for me. and secondly, the music... (this is a lennertz episode) it has brief shades of bloodfest (the music used in That Scene in hannibal s2e13 mizumono and kind of became will and hannibal's big emotion music) which automatically makes the spn music hit all sorts of emotional buttons that it didn't earn. now i think they've used that sound before, but combined with the scene and the atmosphere which is so often lacking in the later seasons, it really hit for me. (totally cried just getting that small clip from hannibal with the music, think bryan fuller said something about this piece of music resonates at the frequency of his tear ducts)
i have posted a lot about the musical score in hannibal - here's my masterpost :S ok one more thing about that piece, an essay by kate schau talking about brian reitzell's score in hannibal:
In a 2014 interview with Vulture, Reitzell describes it as “musically, probably the crown jewel of the whole season.” While most of Reitzell’s work for the score is predominantly sparse and percussive, “Bloodfest” adopts a more tonal, texturally dense approach. As a nod to The Silence of the Lambs’ association of Bach’s Goldberg Variations with Hannibal the Cannibal’s violent impulses, “Bloodfest” takes its well-known opening aria and slows it down by a factor of twenty; here it also undergoes pervasive electronic distortion. The resulting work is beautiful, haunting, and utterly essential to the atmosphere of the scene. The syrupy-slow melody of the aria gives it the trancelike quality of meditation, but none of the objectivity; like a premonition of heartbreak, it seems to operate in a temporally detached space of reminiscence where emotion is both immediate and far away.
i often bemoan the show that could have been with a different composer at the helm, but will add to the list if they could have kept the look and feel dark gritty messy aesthetics of the early seasons. so much of the later seasons is just too bright, too saturated, too sterile. sucks the vibes right out. it's sad.
um ok. asmodeus is juicin with archangel grace.
i mean just. we're really going with hentai tentacles
i don't care how many times they do it, i love it every time. never gets old
ok. tentacle monster is a god, sure
SAM
Dean.
OPHELIA
If she fed on him, he would be here.
SAM
So what, then?
MARCO
It’s like we said, if she’s not feeding, she’s breeding.
so ketch is gonna bring gabriel to the boys, how convenient
sigh ok. better than a woman in possibly-sexual-peril i guess
DEAN
Oh my God. That's tragic. It's like a Hallmark movie. But with tentacles.
good one, dean-o
YOKOTH
I like you, Dean. You’re strong. And I enjoy looking at your face.
it's a good face, can't argue with that
SAM
So, that’s why we came. I mean we--we--we--need the Seal to get our family back.
DEAN
If it could take us somewhere other than, uh, tentacle porn land -- not that there’s anything wrong with that.
being that sam outed your "animated japanese erotica" hobby to jody in 12x06, we know, dean. we know
(this is my periodic attempt to remember where cas is and failing. why)
KETCH
Was working for. But when he finds out that I stole his prize milk cow, well, I imagine he will hunt me to the ends of the earth. So...this is the only safe place I know.
SAM
What? Do you think you’re gonna just move in?
KETCH
Dibs on the top bunk?
SAM
No.
DEAN (speaking at the same time as Sam)
Deal.
SAM
What?
DEAN
I don’t know what the hell’s going on here. But if this helps us get Mom back, helps us get Jack back, then...sure. Whatever you want.
okie dokie. also convenient taking the moral quandary of extracting more of gabriel's grace for the spell, ketch just had it bottled up from asmodeus's stash
SAM
Fine? So you want Ketch to go and not me?
DEAN
I don’t care if he dies. Hell, I’m kinda rooting for it.
SAM
Still, you can’t --
DEAN
No, I have to. It takes something that’s been over there to open up the right door, so that’s either you or me. So I’m gonna go. And if something happens to me, if -- if-- if time runs out, then I need you to come and save me, and save Mom, and save whoever else, okay?
SAM
It’s safer if we go together.
DEAN
Oh, there’s no such thing as safer over there. You know that. I know you don’t like this, okay? I don’t expect you to. This is the way it’s gonna be.
sammy gettin a little jealous there. railroading sam on a decision like this feels like poking the bear. poking that giant little brother you don't get to make decisions for me bear. but i do at least appreciate that dean actually explains that a) he would worry about sam dying, unlike ketch and b) that sam can come save him if it goes sideways if they're not both there. script had dean saying please. guess they decided no please was necessary
sam looking sad/resigned, dean looking determined, gabriel suffering in the background
i asked for middling, i think that mostly qualified
Top 5 doctor who characters that only appeared in one or two episodes? I want your obscure favs. Your glup shittos.
not to give a cliche answer but sally sparrow my BELOVED
CANTON EVERETT DELAWARE THE THIRD!!! tia/dotm was my first exposure to mark sheppard and i've loved every character of his i've seen since. canton was such a good addition to eleven's team tardis i miss him
brian williams <3
nancy from the empty child! i'm so glad she and jamie got their happy ending they deserved it
and the whole team from silence in the library. i would watch a prequel spinoff about them or a sequel spinoff about their shenanigans in the cal mainframe in a heartbeat
9 & 18 for the Spotify Ask Game. I'm a bit curious (and have never participated in one before).
oooh thanks!!
9- what comes up as your fourth recently played?
Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift off my McShep playlist! idk why or what it is but there's just something about this song that gives me mcshep vibes but it does. plus i just like to imagine Rich Business Man John Sheppard its great
18- what artist do you anticipate at the top of your spotify wrapped this year?
ooh that is a very good question! i feel like probably taylor swift bc i went through a phase at the start of the year where that was all i listened to for a few weeks and now half my playlists are full of her songs (every damn love song she has works for mcshep ok it's insane) but it could very well also be brian falduto bc i am OBSESSED with his music rn i play it on repeat constantly and i love him everyone should listen to gay country music more tbh

If it’s more comfortable for you, you may message me anonymously and I will not post it; I will just tag what needs to be tagged.
