Stuffity stuff...

Remember how I didn't write a review/reaction for 10.22 and said the comments would work as one? Well, I'm pleased to say they did! The comments from everyone are very interesting and thoughtful and the discussion pretty much covers much of what I would have written.

Some interesting points raised were - why Cas held back when Dean was beating him up, whether Dean was Dean when he said those horrible things to Sam, why Sam was "stupid" thinking he could kill Crowley with something from Rowena, and whether the Winchesters are likeable anymore. So yeah, check the thread out if you're interested in the variety of thoughts on the episode. And it's very mixed - positive, negative, constructive, hopeful and despairing. But never rude or inconsiderate.

The Love Meme is one of the nicest things to happen in fandom recently. I can't express my gratitude and love for the comments left. Thank you! <3 They have re-invigorated my enjoyment of the show and fandom. I've been feeling worried about being honest about the show (especially when being critical), so it's been nice getting feedback that some of you actually don't mind that. I seriously hope to leave love to you all. It might be a little slow now, as I am getting ready to leave for the the convention is Sydney! \o/ But, my plan is to get over there and leave some more love for you all. *hugs*

I am very excited about the up coming convention. I am very sad and disappointed that I won't be able to meet the lovely Jared (though of course I totally appreciate why he pulled out and am so glad he is looking after himself), but I am thrilled to be meeting other fans and of course Jensen, Osric, Mark, Mat and Richard. :D

Lastly, good luck with the finale! If it's true to form it's bound to be a heartbreaker. Personally, I think I will burst into tears just seeing Jared after everything that's happened this week. I would love to be able to watch it with someone, but I will be on the Central Coast of NSW when it airs.

*clings* to you all. Catch you on the flip side! *meep*

Have fun at the con!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm sure I will :))

[fanspired]

Central Coast? Whaddaya know? My home town :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Ha! :D My family live there - parents and 2 sisters. :) Wamberal, Long Jetty and Bateau Bay. :)

[fanspired]

Just round the corner! Tumbi :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Haha! Are you going to the convention?

[fanspired]

Nah. It's a lot of money and I didn't have anybody to go with.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is a lot of money (but you would have had someone to go with…<3). I would love the chance to meet you while I'm up there - but I know my family has my short time with them tied up..;/. But still, it would be awesome to meet in RL if we had the chance. And maybe if no this time, next time I'm up there. I visit a couple of times a year (if I can) and usually for longer times. It would be cool to meet one day. <3

[fanspired]

That would be cool :) Next time you're over this way, if you have some free time, drop me a line.

I hope you have a wonderful and amazing time at the con, and I'm looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back (well if we all survive the finale, that is ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I am thinking I might not survive the finale!!

Hoping to have some fun stuff to report! :)

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Have fun at the con bb! I want lots of details (when you wake up!) and good luck for Wednesday night (Thursday morning for us mere mortals in England)

I too enjoyed the hell out of that discussion/poll post! So thank you!

You always manage to expand my views or at the very least give me the tools to do so myself :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you honey!! (and it's Thursday afternoon for me! Ark! One more day *bites nails*)

Glad you enjoyed the discussion. It was great! :D

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I've got a sneaking suspicion the entire of lj is gonna be ghostly for a few days O_O until people have watched or caught up!

[hugemind.livejournal.com]

YAY, have fun at AHBL! <3

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm sure I will!! :DDD

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I think the Aussie con is going to be great - the guests who were at JIB will still be on a high because they had such fantastic time and Jensen is in such a great mood lately. He wants to be with fans and feel the love and that makes a HUGE difference to how he relaxes with us these days - it's wonderful.

Can't wait for both the finale and to hear how you get on at AHBL!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I am really looking forward to it. That great to know about Jensen. I wondered how he'd go by himself (and how tired he must be!). But it looks like JiB was great fun!

Enjoy the finale!! (if you we can even use that word! *meep*)

[sothcweden.livejournal.com]

Have a blast!

And I have found this week that the outpouring of concern for JP from fandom, as well as the careful, considerate discussions I've seen here (and tebtosca's comment about how TV actually works) have reinvigorated my love for the show and its fandom. Even if I don't agree with where the writers go, I so enjoy the enthusiasm I see from the cast in con vids on YT, in the fanworks created, and the wonderful meta and discussions that the canon may be superfluous for me these days. (Though I'm still anxious about the finale!)

I hope you have a wonderful time at the con! <3

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I'll PM you…:)

[sarahk-1963.livejournal.com]

have fun!!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Have fun, lady! While it'll be a little bit lop-sided without Jared, he has to take care of himself so that he can come back to us and the show. I'm so glad everyone's being lovely about it. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Everything I've seen has been nothing but support for your darling jared. It's been lovely. I'm hopeful he'll be able to make the trip another time. :))
