My dad's on a business trip in Ciudad Juárez, but a co-worker drove him over the border, and he called me today from El Paso and he said:

"Hey, I'm outside a Barnes and Noble, want me to bring you something?"

OMG ILU DAD.

So I'm getting vol. 5 and 6 (and 7 if the goodness of my dad's heart is big enough) of Fables, yay.


Ugh, that Smallville ep. about the 'immigrants' is on. I hated that episode and their stupid 'latin' kids that didn't even know how to pronounce their names. And while I'm on the subject on Smalliville: How more crappier can this season get? Lana is making me want to stab something real, real bad. I'll smile during the Chloe, Jimmy and Lois moments, and gag during the Lexana. *shakes head*

Ugh, yeah, I've been catching bits and pieces of Smallville all this season because of Supernatural and it makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a spork for the ridiculousness of it all. I mean, I can laugh at cheesy soaps like Days of Our Lives (hellllo Baby Jensen!) and can wince at badly-plotted or acted shows on the occasion, but... Smallville is just... bad.

I remember when I tried to get into it during its first season and I gave up after three episodes. Whatever happened to Pete?? I miss the good ol' Pete and Chloe and Clark moments. Those were golden.

(PS: icon is from Devour which I just watched last night and it's one of those totally "WTF?!" type horror movies, and I certainly understand why Jensen tries to sweep it under the rug, but... dude! It has Daddy Ackles acting WITH him! *flails*)

I KNOW. I embraced the stupidity for most of the show (a cousin of mine lent me the first 4 seasons last summer, and I treated myself to 8 hour marathons), and season 5 still had it's moments of coolness, but season 6 has been non stop HEADDESK material.

Pete vanished into thin air because the actor that played him got tired of having absolutely no love from ANYONE. *giggle* And I still think Chloe's the best thing that ever happened to the show, and Clark will. still. pine. after that bitch Lana. ugh. Not even Jensen (as hot as he made the show) could save it.

OMG DADDY ACKLES! Is he hot too? (wait, no, let's rephrase that - does he look like he was hot too when he was younger?) because boy had to have got it from someone. Mmm, I've heard nothing but 'omg it was so bad but Jensen was in it so whatever,' from it, and while I'm sooo curious to see it, I'm kinda afraid my retinas will get burnt from the stupidity, too.

Man, Jared and Jensen were lucky to land SPN. It's by far the best they've done....

LOL @ PETE.

Okay, so, Devour. Like, there was this dude who played Jensen's best friend, and, swear to God, it was like the younger Pete from The Adventures of Pete and Pete grew a foot without any other facial aspects changing. So there's this six-foot twelve-year-old-looking freckle-faced redhead running around with Jensen and it is one of the FUNNIEST IMAGES EVER. He also has a best girl friend who is just a wee bit anorexic and annoying. Annoying behaving and annoying acting job. Ugh.

Shannyn Sossamon is the love interest and all she really does is simper and whine and cling to him and scream and half the time I want to rip her hair out of her head. But that's a normal reaction to her (ever since watching A Knight's Tale).

Daddy Ackles? He ain't bad. He's got lighter hair than Jensen--looks almost red in the movie, but that could be lighting. He's actually shorter than Jensen, too. He plays Jensen's dad (though not the dad you'd think) and is a devil worshipper. He does a pretty awesome acting job--Jensen though? His worst acting job is when he's with his dad. It's kind of obvious that he's not comfortable with his dad, I guess. I could only imagine the pressure of that, though, you know? BUT there's this one scene where they're talking and Jensen's sitting in this chair in the CUTEST position ever, LOL.

They used a lot of actual photos from Jensen's childhood in it, too. It was almost like watching THE JENSEN SHOW LOL!1!, you know? OH and he plays baseball in it. ♥

And he has sex with the aforementioned annoying girl, but it's in a chair while they're fully-clothed. Still kind of hot, though. Needlessly gratuitous, but hot because it's Jensen, dude.

It's definitely not as bad as some other horror movies I've seen. The twist in the end makes you want to throw something violently. I watched it twice and am still very "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!!?" about the whole ordeal. It had the potential to be a REALLY good story, but I think they mucked it up in trying to sensationalize it.

I agree, about Supernatural. :-D Though Dark Angel was not too bad for Jensen... his character had some awesome depth in that.

I didn't see the movie but that scene was one of the clips I saw and it made me laugh. And then, you know, not because they zoomed on Jensen's face and um. Yeah.

his character had some awesome depth in that.

Alec was Dean!junior. Except they kept making excuses for his prettiness and his lovely transgenic ass. Whatever.

LOL. YES, exactly. Like, the girl is terrible. And it's hilarious. But then Jensen makes this noise and you're like...... I don't even know. Just. *dead from loss of words*

Alec seemed a little less haunted than Dean... maybe it was just that he was better at hiding it than Dean seems to be. I mean, we never got close enough to Alec to really peel back all of his layers; not like we get to see Dean peel back some of the layers in the second season. And that's all due to Sammy, methinks.

transgenic ass. *snicker*

*nods* Exactly what I meant. Yes. *wriggles*

Well, that and the fact that they were all trained soldiers plus the fact that because of Ben, Alec spent 6 months in psy-ops getting evaluated. It's not that he was less haunted - more so, I think - but that he hid it really well, in the absence of a Sammy figure especially.

The biggest tragedy of Dark Angel, I think, is that the 2nd season sucked so badly. Like, Jensen was wonderful and lovely, and stole the limelight out of every scene he was in (or was just mentioned in) but plot-wise, I enjoyed the first season much more. I wasn't even going to watch S1, just Jensen's episode, but I wound up watching all of it, and enjoying it a lot.

transgenic ass. *snicker*

What? Max said it a lot. Alec didn't but only because he was already too pretty to draw attention to his ass.

I--I-- DAMN YOU WOMAN NOW I WANT TO SEE IT.

Mmm, I want to see Papa Ackles! I'm all curious and stuff and I haven't been able to find a SINGLE picture of him on the internet. Boo. Oh, and Jensen's baby photos!! Which reminds me, have you seen that AWESOMELLY BEATIFUL picture of him in elementary school? With his freckles all over the place and wearing this dorky tie? It melts me every time. *sigh* the one from him dressed as a cheerleader, though, only makes me laugh. Maniacally. *cough*

Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten about Dark Angel - I just can't delete ep. 2x06 because there's Jensen and his fake british accent and getting away from Max's pawing and lasdjflasdjflsjdf. *goes off to rewatch*

*g*

I'm evil. And I love it. :-D

It's kind of funny... like... they look alike... but not. It's hard to describe. You wouldn't be able to identify him as Papa Ackles if he were walking down the street, but you can tell they're related when they're together. There was a photo of him, his mom and dad, and his little sister floating around somewhere... it's from back in the DoOL days, though, so it's old.

2x06? Hmm... *goes to re-download*

How more crappier can this season get?

Judging by spoilers and the fact they aren't getting Justin Hartley back as Ollie Queen for the finale? A lot.

And I still think Chloe's the best thing that ever happened to the show, and Clark will. still. pine. after that bitch Lana. ugh.

Seriously! I look at Chloe and how awesome she is every.damn.episode and I want to kick Clark upside the head. And then, I want to kick Al and Miles upside the head because seriously, these 6 seasons of shoving Lana down our throats, and not even people from Vancouver, who used to feel they need to like Lana because Kristin is a homegirl, still feel that way. I get that they can't kill her off, because she's canonic - but hey, they got rid of Pete! *eyeroll*

Not even Jensen (as hot as he made the show) could save it.

I barely remember him from Smallville, would you believe it? I didn't know who he was when he joined the show, all I knew is that he looked like Eric Johnson, who played Whitney, Lana's boyfriend in first season, so I just rolled my eyes at Whitney!clone and discounted him as pretty eyecandy with no plot-related value. Not that I was that far off my judgment, since TPTB did not know what to do with a pretty boy who can act (a novelty for them, I'm sure) but yeah. When I saw Jensen on Supernatural, I almost fell off my chair, because that was the guy I totally wasn't paying attention to? Meep!

A lot.

*sigh* Why, oh why am I not surprised? ;___;

It could be a spin-off! "Chloe and friends", it could be called, and Lana would've died in a horrible, horrible accident AND WE WOULD ALL BE HAPPY, YES. I read this thing, uh, somewhere about one of the writers saying "well, yeah, Lois is supposed to be Superman's big love, but... what if she wasn't? What if he never let go of Lana?" OMG I WANTED TO HIT SOMETHING. *shakes head*

Well, I only started watching Smallville during the fifth season, and I still haven't seen the last four or so eps of season 4, so all I could think of Jason was 'he's not as cool as Dean!!' XD But omg yes, most of SVs people just can't act for shit. Micheal Rosenbaum does kinda change completely different than Lex, but that's about it. *stabs*

Bwahaha! But no, they can't do that - Lana is actually canonic. On the other hand, they did get rid of Pete...

what if she wasn't? What if he never let go of Lana?

Isn't there an IQ requirement to be a writer, or something? Because they don't get that they might love the Clark/Lana thing but nobody in their audience does! *stabs things*

Rosenbaum is SV's national treasure. And the 'adults' - John Glover, Annette O'Toole. Tommy acts only when he's sharing the screen with any of the above. Or Lois, curiously. I know many people don't like her, but Tommy has this weird chemistry with Erica that just works. And oh, he was flirty with Justin/Ollie. *veg* Tommy had awesome chemistry with Jensen, too. He sure likes his young billionaires. *beams innocently*

Yeah, I know, but canon!Lana is married to Pete of all guys, so they could be, dunno, away together? *hopes*

The other day I was with my mom and we stumbled upon Superman III while channel surfing, and WOW, but Annette O'Toole was gorgeous when younger! She's still pretty hot, but man she was kinda TOO pretty o__O It was shocking. I love Lois. Not as much as Chloe, of course (duh), but as you said, she has wonderful chemistry with Clark, and they make me smile as opposed to, you know, want to gouge my eyes out like Clark/Lana does, ugh.

HAHAHA CLARK IS SO A BLACK WIDOWN WANNABE! He just wants them for ther money and their athletic, young bodies. And of course they have chemistry, seeing that they still go out to play golf, and whatnot o_O (Ah, that CW RPS. It like, writes itself, or something. *g*)

Oh, I know! They're all cute and flirty together! It's adorable. And Lois made Ollie do a nose-scrunch *draws hearts forever and ever* So.

And of course they have chemistry, seeing that they still go out to play golf, and whatnot o_O

:D Did you hear the story (can't remember if it was print or clip) where Jared and Jensen made Tommy hide in the back seat of the Impala in first season, for some scene that had them driving and then exiting the car. So, they parked the Impala and three guys instead of two got out.

And we didn't get to see it on outtakes! *stabbity*
