Popping by to say hi and stuff..

[ash48]

maichan808 is a star and I really have no words. I can't WAIT to show you the work we have been doing on our collaborative vid - mainly because her stuff is so cool. It makes me just dance with glee. She is such a professional and her work is masterful. Really. I have learned so much. :D

In between vid making this weekend I been have been an Athletics Mum. My daughter picked up 2 bronze medals in the Little Athletics State Championships - one for javelin and one for shot put. So yeah, proud mum. We have to wait now to find out if she's made the National Team. It's unlikely, but she is up there with a slim chance. If so, it's off to Queensland in 3 weeks!

Show Talk

It's less than a week until MY SHOW RETURNS!! \o/ (it is, isn' it??!!!) I have missed you show. I really have. I would have loved to have had the time to make a vid leading up to the return. Like a promo. I was listening to a Muse song today. And this....

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Oh yay baby! I can so SEE this vid. But, alas.. no time, so I will just have to imagine it. (unless there's a vidder out there... *koff*...)

Season Five reflections: (because I need to talk show...)

Favourite episodes so far:

The End Possible all time favourite. (Though "What Is and Should Never Be" is still right up there). Best Jensen performance to date for me. And best directing. Great episode.

Song Remains The Same The actors they cast to play John and Mary were spot on. And Jared's look when he sees them? Priceless. And Dean's protectiveness of Sam? - melts me every time. And Sam got to die AGAIN. What's that now? 3 times now?? 4? Surely that has to have some impact on our poor boy... (though do we count all the time Dean died in Mystery Spot.?)

My Bloody Valentine Thrilled they made no reference to Jensen's movie. Loved this for all the thinky thoughts it produced. Loved the angst and the return to Sam's blood addiction.

Least favourite

Hmm... Toss up between The Real Ghost Busters and Swap Meat. (Really? Dean would prefer that guy over Sam?? Raised my hackles it did! Still does!!)

Favourite Angst:

Torn between Dean listening to his brother's pleas for help at then end of MBV or his prayer for help to God after theat. Both together I think. Oh and Jo and Ellen's deaths. :((((

Biggest change of heart:

Hated it when it was revealed that Sam was Lu's vessel. But it makes sense I and can see that it's kinda the whole point... but at the time I was not thrilled.

Highlights

Sam playing poker - 'cause *guh*
Changing Channels - that's just because... you know.. :)
Every time Sam was restrained in some way (Oh come on, I have to enjoy my kink when I can..)
Sam and Dean returning to each other (epic love!)
The Sam 'n Dean montage in "Free to Be You and Me"(best montage ever!)

There are lots more but those ones are off the top of my head. Yours??

Hopes for the future...

I don't speculate a lot or "hope" things pan out in a certain way. I'm along for the ride and I mostly just trust.. but if I had to pick something I would like to see the Supernatural books and our resident Prophet actually mean something. I want the end to be clever and something that finalises this arc. And I have no problem with simple. (I loved that John's "secret" to Dean was to kill Sam. Seemed so small and simple at the time but really...??? Powerful stuff). So BRING IT show! I'm ready!

Is it Thursday (well, Friday for me) yet!!??

Feel free to share yours if you are in the mood... :D :D

That song is on my personal SPN playlist. \o/ I always think of it as Sam and Dean and Castiel thumbing their noses at Lucifer and Zachariah.

I see we have some of the same Sam kinks. *koff*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Every time I hear that song it I slip in SPN mode.. thinking about my wonderful show.. :)

I see we have some of the same Sam kinks.

\o/\o/

SHOW!!! Can't wait to have it back. *counts the seconds*

Yeah, The End is one of the best episodes till date. I guess it comes in 3rd on my list, after WIAWSNB and DALDOM. *nods*

Oh, MBV was an angst-fest, wasn't it? Can't wait where they'll go from there.

Is it thursday yet??

[ash48.livejournal.com]

*checks my watch* ... getting closer... \o/

And I can't wait to see how they pick this up in relation to the last episode. Hope it's not all forgotten. They were both pretty broken after that one.

I'm sure yours and Christel's vid will be kickass! I'm really excited about mine and Toni's too! I love this SVS challenge! :D

MUSE!!! ♥ So many Muse songs are appropriate for SPN, Buffy, etc. because of the apocalyptic/epic undertone! Love them.

I totally agree about your least favorite eps! I think the writers need to ease off the meta a bit, especially in Real Ghostbusters with the conventions. I mean, I'm showing the series to my brother for the first time (we're on season 2) and he really enjoys it, but then I think about how over-the-top the show will get with the overzealous fans like Becky and whatnot and it's not like my brother has an inkling of what fandom is to even understand the jokes, much less appreciate them. (And even I don't appreciate them all that much! Once or twice is funny, but I think it's overkill a bit.)

And yeah, Swap Meat, definitely not my favorite either. (And I still think they should've had Jared play Gary-trapped-in-Sam's body! Would've been so much funnier!)

Torn between Dean listening to his brother's pleas for help at then end of MBV or his prayer for help to God after theat. Both together I think. Oh and Jo and Ellen's deaths. :((((

I can't believe I didn't appreciate Jo/Ellen's deaths when I first saw them. I blame my not having seen S2 in such a long time and forgetting how AWESOME they were. I could see Jo wanting to sacrifice herself, but Ellen. Ugh, that breaks my heart.

And yeah, surprisingly, I found Sam's rehab in MBV so much more heartbreaking that the one in WTLB. I think it's because we just HEARD Sam scream and watched Dean's agony. Ouch.

My only hope for the future is that JDM makes a return. Because, damn, I miss him as John Winchester! (Although I think young!Mary and John are phenomenal as well! ♥ And adorable! :D)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! You and Toni!! :D Can't wait to see everybody's. :D

And I still think they should've had Jared play Gary-trapped-in-Sam's body! Would've been so much funnier!

Absolutely. I would love to have seen Jared do that. And I think it might have also helped us understand why Dean found it so hard to pick up that it wasn't him. That still irks me quite a bit.

I could see Jo wanting to sacrifice herself, but Ellen.

Yeah - these women really grew on me. And Ellen's sacrifice for her daughter was heart breaking. I'd do the same for my daughter. (But my god, I hope I never have to!! *g*)

Yay! JDM - that would be SO cool... I think they'd have such a hard time getting hold of him now... with all the movies he's making etc. But you never know. *fingers crossed*

Hey, honey! I've quiet too, nose to the grindstone as I try and churn out my BB story.

Congrats to your daughter! That is awesome, awesome news. My sis was a jock all through school, yet though she was an All-Star, she never made the national team of anything. That possibility is HUGE.

I can't wait for our show either!!! It's been a long bloody Hellatus II, hasn't it? I love the way you recapped the season to date and pointed out what you loved and kind of didn't. I may steal that format away mid-week, and post something similar. I want to get my episode commentary mojo flowing again.

I had to laugh about your "kink." Have you seen the icon with Sam tied down (I think it's the shot from Sam Interrupted)? The caption simply reads, "Must Be Thursday." I laughed like a drain.

Best of luck on your vid. Can't wait to see it. I have an idea for my next one too, but there will be none of that till the story is finished. I have a feeling April is going to feel pretty brutal.

Take care.

Hey gorgeous!

It's been weird being so caught up in this vid ... it's like nothing else exists while I'm in vid mode. (I can't wait for you BB story!)

That possibility is HUGE.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. They only pick 11 girls out of about 50. She's a pretty good all rounder, but she probably needed to get a gold over the weekend to make the team (she got Gold in shot put last year). But so proud of her because she really put the effort in. :)

I may steal that format away mid-week, and post something similar.

Please do. I just HAD to talk show... it feels so long since I've done so. This Hellatus II has seemed like forever!!

Have you seen the icon with Sam tied down (I think it's the shot from Sam Interrupted)? The caption simply reads, "Must Be Thursday."

Yes I have! One of my flisters use it. I love it! :D :D (She know my little kink too.. ;) )

Best of luck on your vid.

Thank you. Into the tweaking stage now...

*hugs*

Wow! 2 bronze medals for your daughter. Good for her! (And you.)

Oh my, all those reflections you have about Supernatural! (I just watch it...) But I do have to say that 'What is and what should never be' is still my fav epi. It reached my heart in a way that can't be topped. But that doesn't mean that there wouldn't be room in my heart for all epis (so far and to come).^__^

And talking about coming...(is it Thursday yet?)...*g*

:D:D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

(I just watch it...)

Hee! Sometimes I wish that's all I did... I certainly think far too much about it. :)

And Thursday is getting closer ... \o/

[maichan.livejournal.com]

Aww, you're making me blush! It's truly been a pleasure working with you on this project. I haven't been this excited about a vid in a long time and I have you to thank :D

Oh, and congrats to your daughter!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey. It has been a great experience. :)

now *waits nervously for beta notes...*

xx

[maichan.livejournal.com]

I just saw that she didn't CC you on the email, but she'll be reviewing it during her commute today.

*waits nervously along with you*

[babycin.livejournal.com]

I love you answers!
The End Possible all time favourite Yeah, I agree!

And I can't wait to see what you are doing! ;)
