Armageddon Multimedia Expo 2008
November 1st
Actors: David Hewlett, Kavan Smith and Gary Jones
Pictures in Photos on the website ;)
I was up late the night before. The Supernatural download didn?t finish until about 3am and of course I couldn?t go to sleep then knowing that I finally had it. We all did get up a little later than I had originally planned but hell we hadn't had much sleep and for once I was beyond caring about us not being on time. My brother?s friend whose name is also Matthew came along with us but for confusion sake we will call my brother Matt and his friend Kennedy (we do that a lot anyway lol)
I got my Mum to drive my car because I don?t like driving in the city and considering I have to for work a lot I don?t want to do it on the weekend lol.
The convention was held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre across the road from the Crown Casino. We parked in the actual car park under the building and I took notice that a daily rate was $26. I don?t particularly like paying that much for parking but it could have been worse and we were still there relatively early so we got a decent park.
The length of the line of people lining up in front of the closed doors was long enough but not so long that I cringed, so that was good. These cons always make me laugh because they have so much more than just actors to meet. There is anime crap and comics and wrestling and books and well a whole heap of stuff and so many people come dressed up. We saw a Wraith queen which was pretty cool and lots of Storm Troopers which is awesome because they always act like them too. Lots of people dressed up in their favourite Anime stuff which means nothing to me but its still cool seeing all the effort people go to.
We go in and as we were walking through the doors there were Storm Troopers on each side of the entry just inside the door and the kid in front of me was in awe over them and was touching them and the gun and then shit himself when the Storm Trooper moved and looked down at him saying hello in that deep voice. The kid jumped in surprise and I tried to keep my laughter to myself.
I headed as fast as I could to where the photo ops for David Hewlett (Doctor Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis) were being sold and found the line was getting long already so I lined up and eventually my mum, Matt and Kennedy joined me. The line wasn?t hardly even moving at all which was annoying. So I left the line (the others keeping our place) to go over to the Hub Productions (the same people that are holding the aussie Supernatural Con) to buy my photo ops for Kavan Smith (Major Lorne from Stargate Atlantis) and Gary Jones (Master Sergeant Walter Harriman from Stargate SG-1) They were separate from the others because they were there for the different company, not strictly for Armageddon. The good thing about the lesser known characters and actors? The easier access you have to them. Being a diehard SG-1 fan I love Walter and Gary Jones is so funny so I was so glad that I was still going to be able to meet him after his original con was cancelled. And Kavan Smith ? he is HOT!! So yeah ? all around, I was happy.
I got back to the line and it still hadn't moved. My Photo op with the other guys was at 10.30am and sure enough we still had hardly moved by the time that had come around. So I gave my mother the money she would need for the photo ops so she could by them for me ad I headed around to the photo booth. There were only two people there when I got there so I pulled up a chair next to them and we chatted for a bit. The lady taking the photos came out and spoke to us and was discussing the spn boys coming out and the hassles the organiser has had from fans about it and how much it actually takes to get these guys and other people like them. It is crazy and really if you go to these things and you want these conventions no-one should complain how much these companies charge because it costs them a fortune to get these stars out. It?s insane but hey you know I won?t complain. The experience is always well worth it!
Gary and Kavan showed up and Gary stuck his head outside the booth and waved and said hello and was every bit excitable as what he has always seemed on TV. It was so cute to see and he is so easy going, funny and nice.. I think it would probably be exciting meeting any celebrity you like but for me? Supernatural and Stargate are the biggest. I cant remember not watching these shows (even though SG-1 has been cancelled and Atlantis is on its way to that end) so when I meet people from them, even the little guys like Gary its super big to me. The two people in front of me went first and then it was my turn. Kavan was first and I got a good look at him. My GOD!! I mean in Atlantis and even that episode of Supernatural he was in he was clean shaven but yesterday he was sporting a goatee and stubble and ? *sigh* it was nice.
And he is so nice. I walked up to him and he held out his hand and asked me my name and I answered when I was spoken to lol and then he pulled me in for the photo. That?s my favourite part most times, being that close to them. I told him thanks after the photo was done and then I got my photo with Gary. Despite Kavan?s hotness factor I was almost in a little more awe at Gary probably because he has been in Stargate for the full ten years and well he might be a small character? But in the Stargate world he is big. He?s been encoding those Chevrons and making sure the SG teams get home safe for all these years and some of the comedic events have certainly come from this man. My mind strayed to the episode commentaries I have heard him do with Peter Deluise and I couldn?t help but laugh in my mind coz I could see Gary was just like he seemed to be ? a loveable goofball lol. They had to take my photo with him 3 times lol. First time I blinked, second time she said that I looked sad and gary thought she had meant him, to which she promptly responded that no he never looked sad, so true lol third time was the charm and I shook his hand and thanked him and left the booth with a massive smile on my face. I rushed back to the line all giddy and excited. I had been3rd to get my photos done and they had been so awesome so I was stoked. Mum and the boys had moved somewhat. They were a little closer so that was something.
Then I notice that behind me where the autograph booths were, David Hewlett was already there. I got all excited all over again because it was him and Michael Shanks that I had really come to see (Michael had to cancel) Wow seeing David in person was such a trip. I took some photos while there wasn?t a lot of people around (when I say that I mean wasn?t a lot of people lining up for the others. David?s line was already long lol
We finally got our photo ops for David and then we could relax. I was surprised too because they only cost $30 each, much less than what I was expecting. I found Mum sitting at a table near the café talking to some woman she had met and we sat and had some food and drink while we waited around. I was watching the people getting photo ops with Gary and Kavan again from across the Café area and saw that there wasn?t a big line anymore. I had paid for Mum?s David photo op because she didn?t have any money and I know she loves Kavan so I made a quick decision and rushed (literally running and dodging people) all the way back to the hub booth to buy another photo op. I ran all the way back coz they were almost finishing up and shoved the ticket in Mum?s hand and told her to go. She did and came back all gushing about how gorgeous he is lol
The boys were off doing there own thing. Kennedy is a big Anime fan so I assume they were off doing something related to that. And at one point I found a stand that was selling a new Stargate SG-1 novel. The author was there signing so she signed the book for me J and in her dedications after thanking her family and friends and other people, right at the end she thanked Michael Shanks for being Daniel Jackson hehe She is a Daniel!Girl and that gave me hope that this would be an awesome story lol
David?s panel was at noon and we probably left it a little late getting up to the room because the line was HUMUNGUS!! We were both afraid that we wouldn?t actually get in there and we would have been spewing if we missed his talk. We did get in ? the very last row but it was still cool. I had no idea where the boys were at this point. They were either missing the panel and I knew Matt wouldn?t be happy about that, or they were already in the room and didn?t see fit to let us know or remind us *eyeroll*
David came on and I think my jaw got tired from smiling and laughing. The man is hilarious. He was up there picking on us, picking on himself and that?s one thing I do love to see in people. When you have no problem giving yourself shit I thin it speaks volumes and he was awesome. A baby started crying in the room and the mother was taking her out, David made a point to tell her that she didn?t have to leave because he was used to people crying because of him. He then bonded with the father who was scurrying after her carrying everything else.
He went on to tell us about when he had first joined the Stargate team when McKay was introduced in SG-1 and how he had tried to make his character as un-likable as possible. He did a good job because aside from some amusing moments I didn?t like Rodney McKay. It?s probably why I was so surprised to find how much I started liking him when he signed on to play McKay in the spin off Atlantis (A show I didn?t want to watch on principle but had to coz Daniel and Jack were in the pilot which allowed me to get a good look at John Sheppard and my fight was well and truly over lol)
He went on to say that when they asked him to come and act on Atlantis it was originally to play this guy called Ingram. He had suggested they let him just come back as McKay (which makes sense to me since he had been in 3 SG-1 episodes) They didn?t want that but when he was auditioning for Ingram they kept telling him that he was too much McKay and that he needed to tone it down. He got the part but just before Atlantis was scheduled to start filming they called him up and said that Ingram wasn?t going to work and that they wanted him to play McKay ?. He was like der that?s what he had said in the first place and boy, am I glad. I might be a John!Girl but my Rodney love grows with each episode and I adore the man now even with his arrogant arsehole ways at times. It?s the Rodney under that that makes me love him.
He talked about his father, his wife and son BAZ. It was so good to see how unhappy he was that Atlantis is getting axed. He was with the rest of us and his reaction to hearing that the new Stargate that they have planned doesn?t even have a Stargate was hilarious. I was right there with him. It?s a freaking stupid idea and I?m kinda hoping it flops to prove that to the network.
He talked about Distribution problems with his movie ?A Dogs Breakfast? and I couldn?t help but be thinking about the problems with getting ?Ten Inch Hero? distributed. I think its kind of cool that basically he and his wife just created this story and then enlisted friends from the show and whatever to star in and help make it. I can?t wait to see it because it sounds funny and seeing Paul McGillion in a dress would be worth it ? how funny. I love how much of a family the Stargate crew and cast seem.
He talked bout the episode when McKay was addicted to the Wraith Enzyme and he was fighting in the infirmary against his restraints (a McKay moment that totally made me fall in more for him. Amazing acting by David in that ep) After the many, many scenes and they walked away for lunch he couldn?t feel his left arm. He?d been pulling against the restraints that hard that he had lost feeling in his arm. Even the very next week when he had his MALP on a stick he had to tuck the stick under his arm because he didn?t have enough strength to hold the stick. We laughed as he was throwing his limp arm around for effect to show us lol
He talked about a whole heap of stuff, including telling us all not to make war in Michael Shanks for having to cancel and that how working alongside him recently in Atlantis was fun. Michael plays a geek and so does he but he made a point to say that if you look like Michael does without his shirt off then you?re not a geek lol
Scott (the guy that ran the Chris Judge Con I went to) came out at the end and as per usual they gave David a tube of Vegemite (YUCK!!!) He said he liked vegemite and squirted some in his mouth and then declared that it?s better on toast. No David, it?s not good anywhere lol
On the way out of the room I took it slowly because he was still standing at the edge of the stage talking to fans and just basically mingling and how cool is that. The con staff were the ones to eventually drag him away. Mum and I walked out practically basically beside him and then headed back downstairs. We wanted to line up for the photo ops straight away because they started at 1.45pm and we knew the line would probably already be long. We got there and it was fairly long but not as long as it got lol. We had to stand there for a good while but I reckon about half an hour and the line started moving and I started getting excited. Everything was going to plan and I kept wondering what was going to go wrong lol
It got to my turn. I waited while I watched the person in front of me have their shot and I though Jared had been excitable and all smiley lol David was like a ball of energy and it was so cute to see that because lets face it, Rodney is a grumpy bastard most of the time lol I walked in and he introduced himself with a huge smile and I am actually capable of looking into their eyes now (see going to cons is good practice lol) The whole time it just kept going through my mind that this is Rodney McKay ? how freaking cool!! After a warm greeting he pulled me under his arm and we got our photo taken. Instead of just thanking them and leaving I actually spoke lol I rubbed his shoulder and told him he was amazing and that I was going to miss him when the show ended and he thanked me and then said ?I?ll miss me too? hehe he?s cute. I then got braver. He shook my hand and then I asked if I could have a hug! He said sure and grabbed me and hugged me ? sooooo cool!! I hugged McKay ? how cool!!! If I thought I had a big smile on my face after leaving Kavan and Gary? That was nothing compared to the look on my face after leaving David?s booth. Mum was right after me so I picked up hers and my bag and started walking off coz I know my brother and Kennedy were just down the line a little. I walked excitedly up to him and rambled in a rush about my photo experience lol He seemed to understand my ramble which was a good thing lol.
We waited for the boys to get out of their shots and Matt said that David had asked him if he was hot in the jacket he was wearing and Matt replied no. David told him that all us Aussies are crazy coz it?s hot (although the room was a little bit stuffy) and we are wearing big jackets. It wasn?t that hot but he had just come from a cooler climate so he wouldn?t be used to it lol but it was cute. Good News is that Matt asked him since the show is ending now at season 5 will there be any movies and he said they are hoping for April!!!! A Stargate Atlantis Movie!!!!! Woohoo. I have my fingers crossed it happens!!
Next up I had to head over to the Hub Booth again to get Kavan?s autograph. I promised Tidia when he was originally booked at the other con that I would get his autograph for her coz she loves Major Lorne. I lined up and when I finally got up to him he said ?hey Sweetheart, nice to see you again.? I melted it. He has such a nice voice. I?m glad I didn?t melt to the point of mute. I?m better at this stuff now. I told him it was great to see him again too. I asked him to sign the picture to Tidia (well her real name lol) and I was spelling it out when my mind went blank lol (don?t you hate that) He looked up at me and goes. ?That?s not your name right.? Was it that obvious? Lol :P I got my wits about me again and he signed it, gave me a big smile and thanked me and I returned the thank you with one of my own and shook his hand. *happy sigh*
My Kavan and Gary photos were ready so I collected mine and mums and then went in search of her. On my way I stopped by the front desk to see if the David photos were ready yet. They had some of them there but mine weren?t there yet so I went outside and found mum outside the building having a cigarette. We gushed over the photos and breathed in some fresh air. It really was a bit stuffy in there. I opened up the new Stargate novel I bought and did a bad, bad thing. I flipped to near the end to have a look. The hurt junkie in me wanting to see if there was any lol and OMG there is heaps for the whole team but Daniel cops it the most and OMG I was hooked but what was so good about the book also was how in character the woman was when writing all of them. Some of the banter, especially between Jack and Daniel was the best, just like the show. I admit I have started from the middle to the end ? I now have to read the start lol
I went back inside a few times and eventually my photo was there, mum?s too. So I picked up both of ours and had seen Matt?s but thought I would go and find him so he could pick it up himself. I eventually, after a long search lol, found him and Kennedy with some other mates that had showed up. The boys collected their photos and wren we met Mum back outside. We all had a laugh at Kennedy?s photo with David. It was so funny, the faces they were pulling. He needs to give us a copy lol
We left shortly after and the good news was that I only got charged $10 for parking!! Bonus!!
All in all? This was an awesome experience. I had the best time and I was so stoked to see how easy going, funny and nice David is in person. I already loved Rodney McKay but now I know I will have an even new appreciation for him. He?s AWESOME. Kavan and Gary ? Aweome!!! I am so glad to have had this opportunity and so glad that I got over my unable to speak problem and spoke them, to David. Hopefully I?ll be real prepared when I meet the boys ? until I look into Jensen?s face and die lol

Nagambie
All the stress of the possibility of missing Supernatural?s ?Yellow Fever? this week was for Nil. I got off work at 2pm, just as my Mum had finished downloading the episode and OMG, what an ep!!! But that?s another story.
I called Lisa as soon as she had finished watching the ep because there was too much to talk about in regards to those boys and that ep and my Dad chose that time to call my mobile to tell me he would be about an hour late picking us up. So Lisa and I chatted for a good while and my brother, Matthew borrowed my car and $10 to go and buy a board game to take with us.
My Dad turned up even later than an hour and I left Mum with the phone talking to Lisa. Sue, my Step-Mum had already left and was at the Caravan Park in Nagambie with my Step-Brother, Liam (who is 10 years old) and his mate, Saxon. She called my phone about 10 minutes into the trip to give us the code to get into the park with the car.
Conversations in the car ended up straying to my Uncle/Aunty/Cousin problem. Things have developed but again that?s another story. I have to say that I haven?t been on a holiday with my brother and Dad where I haven?t driven pretty much since I got my license so sitting there in the back seat with them up front, country zipping by brought back a lot of memories. It was actually kind of weird. It almost made me feel like a kid again.
I managed to spill some coke on my feet ? yuck and I watched as Semi after semi drove past and I had visions of Impala?s with ?Bad Moon Rising? playing in my head. Obsessed much? *shrugs*
?Say My Name? By Destiny?s Child cam on the radio and wow I don?t think I have actually heard that song since High School and just as that thought crossed my mind I looked straight forward and saw that my brother was obviously singing away ? if his head movements were anything to go by lol
?All Summer Long? By Kid Rock and I sat up and so did Matt just as I was making an unintelligible request for him to turn it up. I never really thought much of Kid Rock but I have fallen in love with this song and I have caused Matt to fall in love with it too. Of course the landscape started getting hilly by this point and we lost reception. But after a while of listening to static Dad informed us that he had CD?s ? CD?s that I remember burning for him ages ago. I let Matt chose the music and I was pleasantly surprised when Matchbox Twenty?s ?Real World? came on. I love all of MB20?s music but I love the old school stuff. The first album is my favourite!!!
We arrived in Nagambie a lot sooner than I expected we would. We brought our things inside the cabin which was right next to a river, another thing I didn?t expect. At this point Matt suffered his first big disappointment. The game he had rushed out to buy? Sue already had it and had brought it with her. The second big disappointment came next. Liam had brought his Nintendo Wii. My Dad has always given him a hell of a lot of grief over playing video games and hence why he decided against bringing his X-Box 360 and Laptop (even though I told him he should bring his laptop because I certainly wasn?t going to go without mine) So he brought nothing with him but a game that we already had. He was not a happy camper. He proceeded to eat one whole packet of Tim Tams like the girl he is ?allowing? Sue and I to have the last two ? so generous of him lol
The two kids (Liam and Saxon) took off and when they came back it started. Liam came in chucking a major hissy fit over the fact that Dad said it was too cold to go in the pool. And when I say hissy fit I mean demonic screaming and yelling and insulting and yes I hear this a lot coz I live with him and yes My Dad and Sue have tried pretty much everything, even specialists and he never changes. He is a selfish, rude, little arsehole and I do find it hard to even like him sometimes. That sounds harsh but it?s the truth. So Liam was thrown in his room and I know Matt and I were thinking he we go. Saxon seemed a little out of place the poor kid so Sue, Matt, Saxon and I went for a walk leaving Dad with Liam. We saw a Mum and Dad Duck with a whole heap of little ducklings ? its soooo cute hehe We checked out the Rec room, pool and basketball/tennis courts and then headed back for dinner.
Matt and the boys played the Wii a lot and when the boys finally went to bed we put on an episode of Dark Angel ( I had accidentally brought he season 2 DVD?s with me) so I could have a Jensen fix and he could have a Jessica (Alba) fix. We watched ?Freak Nation? and I sadly fell asleep just as they had escaped at the end.
The next morning I woke up at 7am which wasn?t exactly what I had planned. It?s way too early on a holiday I have to say but once I?m up I tend to not be able to go back to sleep so I had a shower and got ready for the day ahead. By the time I got out of the shower Dad and the boys were up and Matt was barely awake. Dad was nagging him to help him get the boat in the river and making jokes that no-one really thinks is funny when they are awake let alone still half asleep. Matt told him to wait half an hour and he would get up and help him. Dad ended up leaving and I had a feeling he was going to put the boat in by himself even though we all told him to wait. He came down the river in it later so yes he did go and put it in the water by himself. Not long after this Sue and I decided to go to the Café near the admission place. We had coffee ( I had a mocha coz I?m not really all that into Coffee) and sat out on the dock. There were plenty of ducks in the river and one came up the bank and then right up onto the deck and right up to us. I was getting all excited and taking photos because I am in love with ducks. I swear if I didn?t have a cat that would most likely eat it or freak out (he?s a scaredy cat hehe) I would so want to have a duck. They are so cute the way they waddle and quack. Sooo cute hehe After that we decided to head into town. Our first stop was the local IGA Supermarket where I actually found a pair of sunglasses I liked (it?s significant people because I am picky and I haven?t had sunglasses in a long time). I bought my brother hair gel coz he didn?t bring any of that either and he can?t go out without it *eyeroll* and of course we got alcohol hehe The actual town itself is really small. And typical of your small country town, practically nothing there of much interest lol
Sue suggested on the way to the car that we go to the cemetery coz she likes looking and I knew immediately that when we got back and Matt found out he wouldn?t believe that I hadn't been the one to suggest this move. Apparently Liam?s great grandfather is buried there too so we did have that reason to go. We found it easily enough and parked in the grass on the side of the road outside the gate. It was eerily quiet even with the sun beating down on us and there was a squeak hinge gate that was even more eerie when we opened it and walked through. I have to admit that I have always loved to look through the really old graveyards, like the settlement ones. There is a cemetery around the corner from where my Mum lives that dates back to the 1850?s. That?s really small and isn?t even fenced off but I have always found it real interesting. This one was dated back just as far and some of the headstones were so old. I took lots of pictures because I guess I take pictures of everything. But some of them were beautiful in that old, historical kind of way you know. I?m in love with history so anyways it was interesting and sad to see how many infant deaths there were in the 1800?s.
Sure enough when we got back and we told Matt where we had gone he rolled his eyes at me. He actually looked surprised to learn that it wasn?t me who suggested to go to the cemetery.
We spent most of the day swimming in the pool which I have to admit that it was fun. I haven?t been to an actual pool in a long time and I love swimming so it was good. Of course I have very fair/easy burn skin and I forgot a t-shirt. All I had on me were singlets. Yes, I am an idiot. So I was putting sunscreen on like crazy. I seriously did not want to get sun burnt on the face especially when I have the con with David Hewlett coming up the very next weekend. I would die if I was all red and shiny in my photo with him lmao The kids were having a ball and Dad, Matt and I had a tennis ball that were throwing at each other. And yes I do mean ?at? each other. It was the sort of catch where you throw it as had and fast as you can at the person and the person to miss and drop the ball is a loser. I am really good at catching and throwing tennis balls. It?s one thing I am strangely proud of lol of course this turned into a competition between Matt and our Dad with me throwing them the ball and them jumping all over each other trying to get it. Males *rollseyes* They are hopeless but its fun to watch and since we?ve grown up Matt and Dad don?t always see a lot of each other so from my standpoint it was good to get back to old times. Later on it was just Matt and I throwing the ball to each other in the pool and on one of my throws my ?Dean? ring (yes I have one and I wear it every day) went flying off my finger with the ball and landed in the water next to my brother. Thank god he found it. I would have died if I had of lost it lol
I spent the afternoon playing table tennis with my Dad while Matt and Sue played basketball lol it was good fun.
That night after dinner (where I wanted to strangle Liam for the hundredth time that weekend for being an ungrateful evil little bastard) we got to the board games. First up was a game called SmartAss which was a bit tough for the kids but they gave it their best shot. I won the first game of that. I love trivial pursuit and this game?s questions are sort of along the same lines so for me this game is awesome. Next came Scattergories. Matt had been hanging to play this all weekend. Dad went to bed for it and the kids stayed for one game and then headed to bead themselves. The last game between just me, Matt and Sue had me in near tears. Some of the answers we had written down I literally couldn?t breath. I?m surprised we didn?t wake the others up with our loud laughing. That was fun.
And I have to say that swimming and playing games all day can really tire a person out. As soon as I laid down to go to sleep I was out like a light, leaving my brother to battle the annoying big blow flight by himself lol
Sunday came and it was time to leave. I woke up and remembered that I had promised to do the dishes from the night before. I had a shower and got them don?t quickly before Sue cooked the kids pankcakes. We had our own helping of pancakes and I took over the cooking when Sue was eating. Not a good thing apparently. The pancakes still turned out alright but as for flipping them? I suck lol
We packed up everything and then my Dad couldn?t get his boat started. He tried it like a dozen times and it just wouldn?t start. So he went off in his car to see if he could find someone with a boat that could toe him around the where his trailer was. While he was gone the guy in the cabin next to us jumped in the boat and started it in like 2 tries. I felt embarrassed for my Dad lol Sue took off in her car to catch him and when he came back they stopped the boat and tried again and Dad still couldn?t do it. The guy started it again and Dad took off, my brother driving up in Dad?s car to meet him there. We found out later when we met them down by the boat that Matt had to start it for him too.
My Dad still really wanted us to go for a boat ride on the lake and down the river. Sue and I really didn?t want to get on the boat in case it conked out while we were out there lol But we did to save his pride (damn men and their egos) but it was okay. We made it back without much hassle. Getting the boat back up the ramp proved a little more difficult. I ended up pulling the boat on top of the trailer up with a rope by myself. I have to say I was quite proud of myself for that too lol I didn?t realise I had that much strength. Of course all my effort was useless because he didn?t have the boat sitting on the trailer properly so we had to lower it again and then Matthew got out of the car finally and helped me pull it up the second time.
I have to say that my Dad used to be pretty good at this stuff and either he just had a really bad run on the weekend or he?s gettin? old hehe.
The trip back I admit that I fell asleep, after trying to write my episode review on my laptop in the car which wasn?t as fun as I thought it would be lol In the end I was glad to get home especially because I knew I was coming back to Mum?s and there was not little people running around. Don?t get me wrong, I have nothing against kids, I love kids and Saxon was adorable. It?s sadly my own step-brother that has me gritting my teeth to not say something I know won?t be appreciated. But it?s all over and its back to normal. I only have to deal with him in the evenings when he gets home from school and today after school? He wasn?t too bad behaved for a change ? but I?m sure he?s just lulling us into a false sense of security. In short it?s always nice to get away but it?s always even better when you get back home where you are comfortable and everything is back to normal.

I haven?t been able to really sit down and think about the episode since watching it since I have been away but I still wanna write up something.
This episode started off hilarious and it just kept coming. I knew what this episode was going to be about, especially since reading the sides but when I saw Dean running for his life with the sound of hellhounds I thought he might be dreaming. I mean we all know he?s been having nightmares about hell and he remembers being torn up so I thought that maybe he was dreaming about hellhounds chasing him. I burst out laughing when I saw the dog with a pink bow. THAT was ? well that was just priceless. My poor, poor baby lol It set the episode up perfectly
I was appropriately disgusted and giggling when Sam got squirted with the yucky spleen juice lol Oh and the Coroner? He was in Stargate once and I?m sure he?s been the in the X-Files before right? Anyways. I loved that scene. And If I miss important bits I?m doing this after one proper viewing and I?m trying to get my thoughts down now so I have time for other stuff I need to catch up on lol
The snake? I have held a snake before but seriously those bastards creep me the hell out. So Dean freaking out, ghosts sickness or not I could totally sympathise with. Don?t like them and I once made my brother and Dad leave a nature park less than 5 minutes of walking down the track because one slivered across the track in front of us lol
I still love watching Dean totally getting into his eye of the tiger in the car and I was doing a lot of smiling as he jumped when Sam knocked on the top of the roof and my eyebrows rose along with Sam?s when he sniffed the donuts and just chucked them on the seat. The whole ?Dicks? dialogue and the total brotherly way that was played out had me giggling. But what got me most about this episode was as the Ghost Sickness started to take hold Dean seemed more and more like a 5 year old boy and OMG how adorable is that. I think I wanted to hug and squeeze him throughout this whole episode. The way he admitted that he was waiting in the car because their room was on the forth floor ? and it was ?high? OMG he?s so freaking adorable.
One thing I have to say about this episode is that Sam really stepped up in this one. What really stood out for me were moments like when he came back to the room just before Dean brought up the woodchip and he sat down and kicked Dean?s foot and told him not to pick at the scratches and when they went to see Luther?s brother and Dean was freaking out about the ID?s and he told him to take a deep breath and then asked him if it helped and Dean shook his head and looked at him with those big trusting green eyes *dies* and then followed by them walking with Sam ?s hand on Dean?s back again warning Dean not to scratch. To me? In this episode Sam stepped up and seemed like the older brother and its so rare to see this. Sam so calm and confident and looking after his brother every step of the way. The way he handled Dean made me like Sam even more in this. I have come along with the way I feel about Sam and even tough I?m worried about where he is headed I am liking this new competent Sam ?. And him taking over the carer role has always gotten my support. I LOVE IT!!! And Dean looking and acting like a little boy ? *dies again. I know its insane but I really think I am in love with this man lol*
Anyways back to the point at hand. In the room. Dean reading about Ghost sickness. Those words shining out at him hit me a littler hard and made me want to hold him because Dean always puts on this tough façade. It?s very much Dean and now with this hell business (whatever he remembers) I fear for how he must feel or will feel when he remembers everything. Ohh and I knew the clock was going to meet its end lol
?I don?t wanna be a clue.? Awwwww
Even just the look on Dean?s face when they pulled up at the Lumber Mill had me wanting to hide him away from anything that could hurt him.
?I?ll man the flashlight.? With that smile on his face, that little boy smile *more giggles*
And OMG the screaming lmao made even funny with his ?That was scary? lol Ohh I love this guy. Again all of us couldn?t stop laughing (again My Nan and Matt stuck around to watch with us.) And wow you know it?s serious when Dean leaves Sam like that and the poor baby skulling his whiskey *hugs him*
I have been hanging and hanging to see Dean drunk. Ever since ?Playthings? and we got to see Sam drunk (which was adorable) I have been hanging to see it and how adorable is he swaying and looking at his hand like its an anomaly and calling the deputy awesome heehhee Drunk!Dean is cute.
The next scene I?ve already mention so you know what I think of it. I just loved him taking the cues from Sam for a change. For four seasons Dean has been the lead in a hunt (for the most part) so seeing him take a back seat and follow his brothers lead was really awesome because Sam is so capable now and it nice to know the kid can do that when Dean really needs him to.
I am in love with the speech after seeing Luther?s brother. He still came across to me like a little boy and I love how everything was laid out in the open like that and I like that by Dean having a (comedic, come on it was lol) meltdown like that let us hear what we all write about. We know it happens we know Dean listens to the same stuff and sings along annoyingly and that they must drive each other crazy with how much time they spend together but it was nice for that to be put out there in a non obvious way if that even makes sense. And when he told Sam he was gassy? The season two gag reel came to mind with Sam farting in the van hehe
God the look on his face when Sam walked into the motel room and Dean admitted he?d ran the whole way back I was starting to really feel sorry for him. I mean he was still cute and funny and adorable but he just had this helpless little boy look on his face, looking at his brother for answers that I really felt sorry for him and wanted to just bundle him up and this ????
?I?m gonna die, Sammy.? BIG AWWWWW the way he said that broke me. I swear he?s the only guy in television that can totally break me with just four words or a simple look on his face or a flicker of his eyes and he does it so well every single freaking time. If anyone should be blamed for me being so totally obsessed with the show it is Jensen Ackles. That man is absolutely freaking amazing.
Wow Sammy with yellow eyes. How freaky. This whole seen was intense. The calm way Sam stated that it was about time Dean went back to hell had my breath caught in my throat. I have to give credit to the little brother too. Jared Padalecki has really come into his own. He does an amazing job and this really stands out for me and I have to say as much as I like Darker Sammy? I breaks my heart a little to see him evil by choice. I know Dean can save him ? he can!!! I might not know where my faith is for the man upstairs but I have total and 100% faith in Dean Winchester. Sad, I know, huh? lol
The way Dean whimpered and tossed his head when evil Sammy put his hand on his chest *dies again* This is Dean?s worst nightmare and he has been carrying it around for a very long time. An god, I love hearing Sam shout Dean?s name like that. When Dean came out of the delusion I was able to start breathing again. I would have loved to see that scene from Sammy?s POV.
Enter Bobby!!!! YAY!!!! I LOVE and ADORE this man and wow he speaks Japanese and considering the amount of Japanese lore there is out there it should have come as a surprise but him showing off is too cute.
I laughed that Dean was watching Gumby and that it was Pokey that got lassoed considering Dean called himself Pokey in ?The kids are alright? and Dean flinched that that part too ? cute ?Oh that?s not helping.? *loves him* The phone call with Sam was amusing. Sam telling Dean that have a great plan and straight as he hangs up Bobby tells him the plan is terrible. Have I mentioned how much I love Bobby yet?
Dean?s mixed feelings fear and horror at watching the sheriff die broke me a little more. I swear that mans facial expressions will kill me. How does he do it?
I was giggling at Sam crawling to the gun a couple times only to get pulled back. It was cute and then his little laugh at Luther before he was slammed into the ground a few times *ouch* ?Bobby, punch it!? I love that line?. Doesn?t Anakin say that in Star Wars at one point? Or am I delusional too? Well obviously he doesn?t say ?Bobby? lol
Dean actually clutching the Bible ? wow. It came as a shock and I still don?t know whether I would personally put my faith in the man upstairs but that was something big and Lilith? That little girl is a damn awesome little actress coz damn is she creepy. She does an amazing job and now we know Lilith was down there with him. God my heart cries for this man. Just the enormity of going to hell stops my breath. 4 months is like 40 years ?. My poor, poor boy *hugs him tight* I want to know what went on down there. I want to see something, or hear him talk about it or something. There is so much to work with here and I loved the prospects of it when I first entertained the idea of Dean going to hell and towards the end seeing how deathly afraid he was I was starting to backtrack ? I didn?t want him to go simply because ? well its hell but now that they did go there I wanna know. I have a sick disease but I know I?m not alone in this lol She says Dean remembers. I know this lilith was just a hallucination but I don?t know whether he does or doesn?t remember everything like she said but maybe its all in there somewhere and his mind is protecting itself. I?m sure something will break the memories free eventually and I?m going to be holding on tight for this emotional rollercoaster that Supernatural/Dean Winchester/Jensen Ackles is.
On a totally random note? How green are that boys eyes *happy sigh*
The end scene. The best!!! The teasing? Awww seriously? That?s what makes this show. It?s the familiar/family type banter, how comfortable they are with each other that teasing just comes natural and no-0ne is truly offended. That is the best thing about being in a family and what makes this even better in THIS show? It comes across so natural with the actors too. It makes this show feel all the more real an probably enables my obsession (I know its not real. I?m not that crazy yet. But you get what I mean right?? It reminds me of a quote I read from Jared today ??
In short this episode pulled everything from me that make me love the show. I was laughing and holding my breath and my heart was breaking all in the right moments and I truly do love all of these guys. Jensen, Jared and Jim. I love them all. They are in my house every week (I wish) and I almost can?t remember a time when they weren?t hehe
The extra at the end? *laughs and laughs and laughs* Jensen Ackles you are the most amazing human being EVER. I have watched that over and over and over and over and Jared?s laughing and cheering in the background makes me laugh even harder. These boys would have to be the best stress reliever ever. Even though I have been run ragged over the last few weeks they always put a smile on my face without fail and I think I simply love that we get to see these little things. That was a really good reward and almost makes you feel part of the supernatural family yourself when we see so many glimpses into their antics and days on set with interviews and stuff. This is the best show I have seen in a long, long time. And on another note, same subject. Did you all see that boy move????? In those little moments there when he was really grooving and his whole body was moving *mouth goes dry* I think I would drop dead if I saw him really dancing. That smile at the end was priceless too. He gets that shy smile that just makes me love him even more ? okay this wasn?t going to be too long after how long it took me to get the time to write it but they drive me insane and I cant help but ramble and ramble ? I?ll shut up now.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have run out of downloads for this months so this weeks ep will probably take forever to download *cries*think of me when your watching lol

With the news of an Australian Supernatural Convention ?All Hell Breaks Loose? The last two days all I have been able to think about is Supernatural and those boys ? and okay that?s not a stretch on what my mind is usually consumed with but even more so with the knowledge that YES I have tickets. I am going to meet Jared again and Jensen for the first time, should nothing go wrong on their end !!! Bring on April 2009!!
As for this weeks episode? Monster Movie was great! And luckily it was quiet at work today so I was able to leave early and watch it as soon as I got home. This time around not only was my mum watching it with me but my Nan and Brother were sitting around the computer too!
We were giggling right from the start. This show isn?t afraid to do strange things and having the intro in typical old movie style was awesome and hilarious. Reminded me of some of the old movies my Nan watches.
Jensen Ackles in black and white is always so damn nice and I laughed at the music they had playing in the Impala and then promptly rolled my eyes at Dean?s ?straight forward, black and white case.? Haha, Dean lol
The town they arrived at? As soon as I saw it I was pointing at the screen going ?that?s?that?s?? Immediately I recognised the town from the Season 7 episode of Stargate SG-1 called ?Revisions? The episode where the team find those people living in a dome that was shrinking to accommodate its power, using a link system attached to the residents minds, to convince them to kill themselves to walk outside the dome ? annnnyways I was excited to see that and it makes sense since Stargate was made in Vancouver as well J
As soon as Dean mentioned that they needed to see the new Raiders movie I had to laugh because I had a feeling Sam was gonna say he had seen it but what I really loved was the fact that Dean was so being Dean in this part. He really has the attention span of a 5 year old sometimes and it was also nice to see Sam smile and shake his head at his brother as Dean took off after the huge pretzels lol That was cute.
Agents Angus and Young? Lmao Seriously? If I didn?t know those boys and they came up to me (I would die from the hotness lol) I would so laugh in their face if those were the names they gave me. At the same time? OMG I love it every time they us AC/DC in any form. Acca Dacca have really become the man band in this show!! Awesome.
I then had another Stargate SG-1 moment when the Sheriff came on screen. Russian Colonel Chekov. I always liked him in SG-1 and I was so not happy when they killed him and wow it is weird hearing him talk without that Russian accent.
Dean and Jamie. It?s good to see Dean getting back to being his normal self and I had to laugh when she questioned his Fed story but OMG when Dean started on the whole Maverick story I had a good laugh and a roll of the eyes and again I loved watching Sam?s reaction to this. I love watching him watch his brother if that makes sense. His ?Okay Maverick ?? and bringing them back to the point at hand was funny and very Sam lol
Ed again had me in fits with his water drinking and his hand movements and his explanation of a vampire with the whole hiss and everything just killed me and oh god the boys faces? this was a classic.
The whole lipstick thing Lucy was doing was suspicious to me right from the get-go.
Dean?s excitement over getting to simply hang out and enjoy Octoberfest was cute. His speil about Sam not drinking coz he is a Christian Scientist brought me back to the many other times Dean tells a ridiculous story about Sam ? like the doll collection in Playthings. Sam?s frustrated reaction is always fun to watch and I liked that Dean struck out with Jamie the first time here ? it had me smirking and whoa that was a big glass of beer!! Lol
The fact that he has come back from Hell totally clean, no scars I found interesting. I hadn't been sure whether it was just the hellhounds marks on him or whether it was the whole thing. Turns out its all of it and of course Dean?s first thought about this comes down to sex lol I burst out laughing when he said that his virginity is intact ? coz seriously I?m with Sam, nothing could do that to Dean. Not with the slut he has been lol And god Dean is just so cute ( I know cute isn?t the only word I would use for him but in these moments I find him cute) and OMG Sam, seriously does the boy have a life. All he does in times like this is go back to the motel room to get some sleep. Old times are back apparently:P
The Werewolf setting looked weird with a modern day car but ohh god do girls actually fall for those lines? Men .. god they are pathetic. Loved the whole totally fake hands in this scene too. They really went all out to make it old style monster movie lol Which I really like this show for. They are not afraid to do things like this which I think is really cool.
Eeek ..Sam playing with the guys insides with a pencil *shudders*
For some reason I found the boys sitting down having lunch together really cute and yay Dean said Monster Mash (hehe Lisa) and then the whole ?Hey do you think this Dracula can turn into a bat?? LMAO ohh the look on Sam?s face is priceless then followed up with ?That?s be cool? with the beer moustache ? how much do I love that boy!!!!!!!! So freaking adorable!!!
The Mummy lol You know this episode did kinda remind me of an abbot and Costello movie. What I always wonder in these instances is why the victim stands there. If it had been me I woulda been out of that room so fast. I wouldn?t stand there and watch as a Mummified corpse gets out of his sarcophagus and attacks me lol
Ohh and I have to say that its good to see the boys not having to hide from the cops. Would make investigating a lot easier.
?This is stupid.? Hehe Loved this line from Sam and the way he said it ? too cute.
Dracula? Hilarious!! Especially when she hit him with the spray and suddenly he didn?t sound so Dracula lol How awesome are Dean?s punches *sighs* This fight scene between Dean and Drac was great but Drac getting away on a motorized scooter? Priceless hehe
Kudos for the Intermission lol
So Shapeshifter ? which I kinda already knew obviously from the DC?s but Sam?s face was funny when Dean told him to touch the ear. And yet again another Mulder and Scully reference. That for me being a big X-Files fan will never get old. And I think it was cute how excited Sam seemed to get when explaining the characters from the movies and novels and the fact that once again, Dean didn?t know them.
Dean?s moment with Jamie was nice. I like that she chose to use the word responsibility for what the boys do. Considering all that they have sacrificed time and time again and the amount of times Dean has been faced with the whole have a family or save innocent lives scenario. I had a smile on my face as I listened to him talk, admitting that he does good and that he does save people. It was nice to finally hear Dean talk about himself like that even though I knew where that would be going lol Dean celibate HA yeah lol God how nice is it watching him kiss!!! Dean?s false smile when Lucy was offered to drink with them made me chuckle ? the boy so didn?t want other company.
I love it when Sam has the wrong guy. The scene in the movie theatre brought me back to Sin City when he thought Don S. Davis (RIP) was the bad guy. Trying to pull the guys ear of was so funny but even more so was the ?oopps? little smile he gets on his face when it happens to him. Very funny and cute.
Okay, I have found another Dean fetish!!! Drugged!Dean is adorable! I have enjoyed it in fiction but seeing it on screen was awesome. I know this makes me a sick freak lol but seriously I loved watching the slow reactions on his face, watching his sluggish mind work over what was happening and trying to fight it even as he was standing. All I could remember thinking at the point where he passed out was ?please don?t fall on the bottle?
LOVED the outfit lol Hansel!! Cute, Dean!! We all had a good laugh at that one but I have to save right now. I love Dean?s throaty growl. LOVE IT!! What is it about Dean and electricity? I thought it was really cool how normal the shifters house was and the Pizza delivery guy? Have you ever seen a person look so bored while delivering Pizza to a Dracula?
I do love watching Sam as he works something out. The expressions on his face show a whole series of events from lazy ?Oh Dean?s out getting laid? to seeing the bottle and knowing something was wrong, to seeing the napkin and the light going on, realising who the ?Bad Guy? was. It?s all played out on his face. You probably wouldn?t even need to see the ques lol
Drac?s speech to Jamie about what it is like to live life as a shapeshifter did have me feel sorry for him but only to a certain extent. He doesn?t have to kill people.
?Hey there, Hansel? ?Shut Up!? lol God, I love this show and these guys!!! Dean and his long socks ... too cute :P
I have to say something here. Sam can be a weak bastard at times lol I mean he?s this big, tall strong guy with powers and yet it usually only takes on hit to take him down. I had a feeling Jamie would be the one to shoot him. Not a bad shot too. Ended like a typical monster movie lol I wont say ?Dean told him so!? :P
Back to Dean kissing ? and yummm I love watching him kiss. Sam?s little smile when Jamie looked over Dean?s shoulder at him was cute and it was just so good to see the boys doing what they do best, on a hunt, saving people, instead of trying to solve something with the whole world on their shoulders.
And Sam proved that he really does know his brother lmao Porky?s 2 ? what a shock! :P
I loved this episode from start to finish. I think I was pretty much laughing from start to finish. This show just gets better and better and these little breaks are always awesome!
On a random note? How big and pretty and sexy are Jensen?s eyes *happy sigh*

LOVED this episode. LOVED it! And hopefully I will get through this review if my brother stops talking to me and talking shit and teasing and carrying on ? The boy drives me insane ARGGHHH!! *takes a deep breath* Here goes ?
I started out feeling worried. And for the record? I HATE Ruby! She?s screwing with Sam, helping him go darker and a nasty death would be appreciated. That said, this scene had me really worried for Sam but even with that darkness there is that little boy that keeps me from being pissed at him. The thing is, Sam is dealing with stuff and just because Dean is home again doesn?t make everything magically better. I?m not excusing Sam. I think what he is doing is wrong, I think Meg was right to call him on the fact that he?s slutting around with a demon who is riding a poor innocent girl. It?s wrong. He?s trying to do the right thing but going the wrong way about it and I feel for his confusion. I smiled a real gueniune smile when Sam felt for a pulse and found that the guy was alive. I could really feel the happiness pouring off him. The kid really does want to save people and I know that but it scares me because his powers came from evil and I do believe that the more he uses them the darker he will go and the harder it will be to come back from that.
I gasped and held my hand over my mouth when Dean showed up. I mean of course I knew he was going to show up but I still had that moment of ?Shit, Sammy.? Because I knew it was going to be an explosion. But god it was even more than that. The first time Dean came out of the dark and spoke, actually spoke? He sounded hurt, betrayed and that hit me more than if Dean had rushed in angry. Of course he was angry but to me? It was the hurt that really shone through to me.
This scene was so intense and I was sitting there holding my breath through the whole thing. And I was cheering when Dean launched at Ruby. I don?t care what they do with Ruby even if they make her a fucking saint I won?t like her. But what I think said the most? Was Dean walking out without saying a word. That hurt to watch even though I agree with how Dean?s feeling wholeheartedly. I was expecting to go into this episode pissed off with Sam but right from the start I just felt worried and concerned for him.
OMG the punch. I knew it was coming but it still caught me off guard and please I hope I am never on the receiving end of one of his punches ? OUCH!! And then the second one ? ouch!! But the way Dean said ?And I have every reason to believe you.? Broke my heart. This is a problem. Dean?s had the one big secret. John?s whispered words to him. Everything else he has told his brother, hell even the deal with the crossroads demon didn?t last long for him to tell Sam yet Sam is constantly keeping secrets from him and they aren?t small ones, they are massive ones. How can Dean believe what Sam says as the truth? That comes up again when Sam slips later on ? if Sam isn?t caught out he doesn?t say anything and even after the big blow out and the apologies he was still keeping shit to himself. ?Slippery Slope? Right on, Dean. Sam is on a very slippery slope. What?s that saying? The Road to Hell was paved with good intentions ? and using Demon blood powers doesn?t make that any better. My hand was back over my mouth when Dean smashed the lamp. It?s just out of three seasons I have never seen him THIS mad, this scared for Sam (and yes I?m a sucker for emotional torture as much as physical lol).
?If I didn?t know you ? I would want to hunt you and so would other hunters.? I cant help but agree with Dean here and understand why he said that as much as it was an omg statement coming from him. It?s true and then in that same instant I felt for Sam because he was alone for four months, he?d not only had to deal with hunting alone but his brothers death. Everyone handles things differently and poor Sam is messed up and even with Dean back he still isn?t quite dealing all that well. Almost like he doesn?t know what to do. Ruby got what she wanted when Dean died, Sam was vulnerable and willing to do anything and she?s using him ? I would bet on it. And God are they trying to kill me, you go from Dean?s heartbroken look to Sam?s kicked puppy look. It?s totally not playing fair. And Dean?s shortening Castiel?s name now? Haha For some reason I found that cute lol but wow if his voice keeps wavering like that he?s going to have me crying every week. No-one does that to me quite like Dean/Jensen does. I liked the reaction from Sam when Dean told him what Castiel told him. It really hit him hard. Sam?s always been the one to have faith and so that?s a big revelation for him. He looked like a freaking little boy.
Jack Montgomery. I really, REALLY felt for this guy. I was disgusted watching him eat but I felt for him. Even not knowing what was going on he was trying so freaking hard. You know, I hate that part in Skin when the shapeshifter changes out of Dean?s skin *shudders* and I was thinking when Jack was attacked by pain in the bathroom that I please didn?t want to see anything moving ? and of course that?s exactly what we saw *eyeroll*
I loved Dean talking to Sam about his time travel and his adoration for his mother really just shines through. It was a nice moment until Sam made his big slip lol. I literally gasped out loud. But again just proves that he is still keeping stuff. Yet he wants Dean to trust him. It?s a two way street, Sammy. And does he think for one moment that maybe Dean wouldn?t freak out as much as he does if he learnt about this shit the same time Sam did ? keeping it from him only makes him more angry and hurt and in true Lethal Weapon style I really do believe that with Dean its ?what happens to you, happens to me.? What happens to Sam also happens to Dean. It might not be the same but it doesn?t affect him any less. The whole ?I should have told you, I?m sorry? will start to loose meaning soon if he keeps repeating the same thing over and over again.
I really liked the interaction between Jack and his wife and I was again grossed out like I was with the DC?s over Jack eating the raw mince ? YUCK!!!!! Dean?s disgusted face was cute hehe
I always enjoy meeting old friends of John?s. I love the interaction the with boys and makes me wish we could have seen the boys as adults interacting with Pastor Jim and Caleb and stuff. Made me laugh the way Dean contradicted Sam?s no with a yeah, sure is when Travis asked him about being a mathlete. And his little dig at Sam when Travis said how proud John would have been at them sticking together.
Dean?s word of the day! HA! Long pig. I loved how he latched onto that. It?s those little things that I adore about him.
We all know why Sam wanted to save this guy. The same connection he had with Madison and her werewolf problem and the thing plus even now Sam still has that part of him present. He always has to try and you gotta love him for that. I?m sure a lot of people will have issue for what Dean said to Sam on the way to talking to Jack. I don?t. Dean?s pissed, scared and doesn?t totally trust that Sam is being totally honest with him and he?s trying to make sense of this too ? without Sam?s help. Dean has never looked at Sam like he is a freak, not in the sense that Sam is saying ? it probably looks like that to Sam and Ruby telling him that in the finale doesn?t help it. Sam is paranoid about how others, especially Dean, see him because HE feels like he?s different. I really felt for Sam when he yelled at Dean that he has demon blood in him and he can?t ever get rid of it. That IS one thing they can never fix and Sam has to deal with that.
When they approached Jack, the guy looked so dejected just standing there with his garden hose and I knew this was all going to end badly but there was still this wish inside of me that hoped that maybe Sam was right. So when Jack was outside the woman?s home and seemed to give in I was like ?Noooo Jack.? But he turned away and I do believe because part of him knew he shouldn?t. But the boys slamming the door in the door and Dean?s ?We?re here to save you ? I guess? OMG I was nearly on the floor. It?s these moments on this show that really keep you there, keep the dark parts from swallowing you. My brother who was doing his own thing on the couch behind us burst out laughing at that part (obviously he was watching a little) and commented that he misses that on the show and he wants to see more of it lol and Dean shutting the door with the little ?sorry, we fucked up? smile was too funny and too cute. God I love him lol
I have an issue with Travis. I liked the guy. Thought it was great meeting yet another hunter friend of John?s and I do believe he thought he was doing the right thing but man if he had of just went to torch Jack then I wouldn?t have been happy but I could live with it. But torching the wife too, jus coz she?s pregnant. He didn?t HAVE to do that. He could have at least given her the option of abortion or something but no ? he goes straight for the easy way and to me? I think this moment is what pushed Jack over the edge, forced him to unleash the monster in him and condemned him. I?m not saying that Jack could have been saved, taught to fight against his urges but he had been doing well with it. He?d stopped himself each time but he wasn?t given the chance because he was made to attack in order to save his wife. Travis is the reason that Jack didn?t even stand a chance and that annoys me coz I really was on Jack?s side lol
Dean unconscious
I?ve been waiting for this since I read the sides lol We don?t get a lot of long standing unconsciousness while still in present danger (and no a coma does not cut it in that respect) and yes I?m sick but I was looking forward to it and OUCH for Sam that had to of hurt. All my cheering for Jack was stopped at this point because every time he inched closer to Dean with that hungry look on his face I was telling him to stay away but at the same time I had to smirk at his dialogue (sue me, I like sarcasm) And there?s something about Dean slowly coming to that is just ... so very nice.
Jacks wouldn?t have wanted to live like that, he never wanted to hurt anyone but now he was beyond that point and he gave Sam a reason to torch him. It was sad though because you just know even without looking at Sam?s face that he is condemning himself.
But the end conversation gave me mixed feelings only because Sam saying that he wont use his powers again makes me wonder is he ACTUALLY telling the truth this time? We all knew that Dean has never been comfortable with Sam?s powers and here he admits that that scare the hell out of him but in that same instance we know that will never make Dean feel about Sam any less and he will never let Sam handle this or anything else alone. He is his big brother and he loves him, no matter how Sam feels that will always be the truth. But I understood Sam here. (if he tells the truth lol) He?s not going to stop using his powers for anyone but himself, because HE doesn?t want them. He saw what happened to Jack and he?s seen what happens to the others. You use them and it sends you darker. He knows this and has known this but his recent encounter with Jack I believe really brought that home for him and I?m actually glad that he wants to stop for himself because that means its what HE wants and if its what he wants then he has more chance of keeping that promise.
All in all. I loved this episode. It killed me, made me laugh and really made me feel like only Supernatural and Winchester brothers can. It scares me, only 4 episodes in and my heart is already just waiting to be ripped out, if it hasn?t been already lol They are just perfect ? JENSEN is just perfect and ? well I just loved it!!! Bring on Next week!!

Again may I say that working on a Friday sucks? Knowing the download is sitting at my mums just waiting for me and knowing I cant leave til the end of the day is like torture. Especially when certain people come online and IM me with a whole lot of OMG?s! and News of Big Revelations and then not telling me what they are when I ask lol *cough*Carol*cough* I don?t think this well be extra long but then I thought that about the last review and it sort of gets away from me ? so lets just see how I go lol
Dean asleep! *Sigh* Have I said already how much I have loved this? That boy has been sleeping so much lately and as my mum keeps telling me ? the boy did just get back from Hell ? I worry for him though. He can?t be getting much rest with those images in his head. I almost don?t want to know what was going on down there but at the same time I have a morbid fascination that I think is human lol But I also think that this lack of actual rest if what?s helping Sam be able to sneak around as much as he is behind Dean?s back without him knowing.
Sooo ? Ruby gets points for the car. The car was nice. But aside from that I am really unsettled by Sam. I have been constantly saying since season 3 that I believe it is wrong that Sam is working with a demon. Katie grew on me as an actress but the whole working with a demon thing seems worse to me than when the SGA work with the freaking Wraith. Now? Putting aside the fact that I am not at all impressed with this actress I haven?t liked the idea of Sam working full out with this demon but even so last night just really got to me. I think the more Sam uses his powers the more he is inclined to change. Ava, Jake, Ansem ? they all changed, went evil, got power hungry when they stopped fighting it and when Sam walked out of that room and got into that car with her I just got this real ?wrong? feeling. I don?t like it. Its just wrong.
I absolutely adored the whole Castiel and Dean moment. I love the way Dean reacts to this guy and didn?t seem like he felt it was all that weird to wake up to find the guy sitting there and the way Castiel speaks and looks sometimes just makes me laugh. He?s cute (when he?s not threatening certain people with hell)
Dean waking up on the bench was cute. I liked his confusion. I had seen the directors clip for the whole ?back to the future? diner scene and personally I really liked John. When I first heard this was happening I was wary as much as I wanted to see it because JDM is some damn big shoes to fill. Jeffrey has such a presence that I couldn?t for the life of me think about who even I would choose to play a young John Winchester but I was happy with this guy. Some of you will know my mother is a big John fan; some would save obsessively defensive lol so there was also this worry going into watching the episode too. And I know she?s not overly impressed but I think they did a good job, I think he did a good job. The look on Dean?s face when he realised it was his Dad was a breath holding moment, the look in his eyes and the sound of his voice as he said ?dad?. I?ve always loved the way Dean says ?Dad? with so much awe and respect. Even when he?s pissed with the man that word, that man still holds a place at the top of the world for Dean. I got a good chuckle at how disturbed John sounded that Sonny and Cher had broken up ? cute ? ohh and his USS enterprise comment too hehe But the look on Dean?s face right up unil after John walked out of the diner ? woo.
I love the expression on Castiel?s face when he looks at Dean. It?s just ? cute. Almost like a he?s a child and trying to work him out. And the man has some delicious stubble (it?s my weakness, I admit)
Ahhh the Impala scene. I have had one of the promo pics for this scene as my computers wallpaper for over a week. It?s so funny looking at the Impala there and knowing she?s only 6 years old here. I loved John?s excited little look when he lowered to look inside the car. You could see him falling for her already and you can see his love for cars right in this moment. I did love the whole ?My Dad taught me everything I know? that statement meant so much staring at young John and made me sad. I really do miss John and I really feel how much Dean misses him. Makes me sad coz when Dean gets a certain look in his eyes or tone inflection in his voice and you can really feel his losses and John and Mary hit really deep for such a long time its always a little suffocating ? and kudos to Jensen ?Perfection? Ackles to bringing that to life so scarily well. The man IS AMAZING!!! And then I had to laugh and shake my head as he goes straight into the whole cattle mutilations question ? that man does not do subtle lol he?s so cute hehe
And God, the sound of the Impala just never gets old huh? I had a good laugh at Dean?s choice of vehicle lol
Again, the whole ?Mom was a babe thing? I saw on the DC?s and was smiling all day after watching it. ?And I?m going to hell ? again? Have I stated how much I love this man already? I had great fun watching Dean get kicked around by his mother. That was a little funny.
So Mary and her family are hunters. I have been saying this since season 2. Of course I didn?t know for sure but it?s been my hunch for so long now that I was actually quite happy to have that proven correct. I liked how confident she looked and Dean?s shock of course :P
Grampa Campbell. Mitch Pileggi. I LOVE this man. I adored him as Skinner, was ecstatic when he joined Stargate Atlantis cast as Col. Caldwell and I was jumping around like a freaking loon when I found out about him being their grandfather. I can?t even remember when I found that out but I was just so sold on the idea as soon as it was released. He is PERFECT and an amazing actor and I just fucking LOVE this idea of him as their grandfather and Grandma? OMG how cool was she chopping that banana? I was in total awe, smiling through the whole lot. I smiled proudly when Dean answered Samuel?s pop quiz correctly hehe
Dinner with his mother and grandparents ? I just loved this scene. I loved the back and forth between Dean and Samuel. It was nicely played and I just can?t say enough how much I loved him in this role.
Dean?s smug little smile when the door opened and he saw Samuel and Mary standing on the other side, Samuel wearing an identical Priest outfit. I think Dean gets a secret thrill about dressing up in costumes. He always seems to have fun with it and OMG if he was a priest I would so go to hell!! I have always found him so incredible sexy in a priest outfit ? and that?s enough about that I guess lol
Dean?s reaction to YED ? He started breaking my heart from this point on, from him telling his grandfather they weren?t safe and that he was going to stop YED because he killed his family. His face and the emotions rolling off him just kill me.
But really? Him asking what John is like and the reaction he had when Mary said she wasn?t going to allow her kids to grow up hunting gutted me. It wasn?t John?s fault. The man didn?t have much choice after Mary died and even though I understand why she made the deal I cant help thinking that she should have told John Because the man was thrust into a world so violently that even with all his flaws I think he did a damn good job keeping above the surface and in retrospect? If he hadn't of trained the boys like he had? They would be so screwed right now. John did the best he could but things could have been so much different if she just had of told him. It?s a true tragedy. But Dean really broke my heart when he asked Mary to not get out of bed on Nov 2nd 1983. This man is just amazing and pulls at my heart like no-one else I have ever been devoted to on TV because he is just sooooo good at what he does. When he punches these scenes out you really feel it all with him. That?s talent.
Ohh and one of my FAVOURITE scenes was when Mary found out Dean had taken off to her friends place and demanded that they helped. Samuel?s reaction, the whole ?she does wants to hunt, she doesn?t want to hunt. Is this some female time of the month thing?? and then the ?what?? in that clueless male voice when his wife turned away. Just TOO funny!! lol
I like that Dean hesitated in giving Samuel the colt (cool seeing Elkins btw). I really liked that Dean told him about who he was, that he was his grandson but makes me even more upset because it was YED then.
Okay now I have to say I have missed YED and Mitch? Brought YED to life again for me. When I watched him I could so see the old YED (Fred) the expressions, sarcastic tone and words. He kicked ass!!! And see He has obviously studied the role. Whereas when I watch the new Ruby I don?t even feel like she?s trying to show us the Ruby characteristics that we learnt over season 3. Mitch did it marvellously. It totally sucks that Grandma and Grandpa bit it but I think I kinda expected it anyways ... still sucks lol Explains why John didn?t even have them as backup.
John?s ?just let me get through this.? Made me laugh. Nice way to start a proposal of marriage but totally what I would have pictured from him lol. I knew that YED killed him (I cant help but read your review?s Gaelic lol) but it happened so fast that every time I have watched it since it still puts me in a bit of shock. I felt sorry for Mary. I really, really did. In one blow she had just lost her parents and the guy she loved so I totally understand and empathise with her making the deal. YUCKKK and having to kiss her father though *shudders* but the look of despair and sorrow on Dean?s face just cut m down again, mirrored by Mary?s. God he just really does kill me. I thought John was adorable upon waking was adorable, the way he sounded so confused when he called Mary?s name and the way he hugged her to him, in shock himself.
I like Castiel for the most part but man; threatening Sammy to Dean lol I know Castiel is this strong almighty being but the look Dean gave him ? that?s the one thing he doesn?t take well too. But I am sooooo glad that Dean knows now about Mary and about Sam having demons blood and that he knows Sam is up to something because dammit Sam needs to wake up to himself. Dean is gonna be PISSED when he finds out about Ruby.
I loved this episode. LOVED it! I think this season is going to kick arse and I think its only just getting started. I think Mary was aweome and the actress did a great job. I could totally put her against older Mary and think ?yeah.? I liked John and I think it was really surreal seeing this side that JDM always gave us small glimpses of without them being jaded by what they had all been through. I enjoyed seeing YED again and fell in love with Dean when we looked up into the yellow bastard?s eyes and told him that he would be the one to kill him. That? Go, Dean!!
Next week?s promo? I remember reading the sides for and was jumping up and down. I am sooooo overly excited. Why is it not Friday already?

So another episode down and the show is amazingly awesome as usual. It was extremely hard sitting at work all day knowing that my mum had gotten the download at 1.30pm. Of course I am sure it was a lot harder on my mother who was sitting there with the download available to watch but was under strict orders NOT to watch it until I got there after work. I walked in and her first words were practically are you ready to watch it, which of course I was lol.
As much as I think this season is going to rock for a lot of reasons I think it?s also going to be hard for me. All this religious crap gives me a damn headache and leaves me feeling annoyed; it always has ? so moving on from my opinion on God and Religion I think I will talk about the episode which will obviously lead me to talking about religion because I obviously can?t escape it all ? damn them.
First off, kudos for having a female hunter at the start of this. I mean aside from Ellen and Jo and maybe one or two female hunters we saw at the Roadhouse in the background ? oh and Tamara, most of the hunters we encounter have been male and it?s nice to see that there are female hunters out there, not psychic or anything special, just a normal every day run of the mill hunter. I was so thinking ?cool? when she opened her weapons compartment :P I knew she was going to die. It?s rare someone shown at the start of the show survives but I was allowed to have some misplaced hope right? lol
Despite my earlier statement I enjoyed the start of this episode with Dean and Sam arguing about Castiel and whether he really was an ?Angel?. It?s honestly not that I don?t want Dean to have faith in a higher being but I have always appreciated his view point of this subject and I was happy to sit there and listen to him ask question after question on how it could possibly really be God and Angels. I admit it, I am sceptical, not just of Castiel, but of the whole thing. Not saying I don?t believe in anything but I think God and his damn bible have a lot of holes and I have never been 100% satisfied with the answers given so hearing Dean question has me nodding my head along with him. Of course on the other side of this it upsets me that Dean never considers himself worthy of anything. I don?t know whether to smack him or hug him half the time (hugging is much more pleasant :P) Like I said this whole subject is going to be hard for me. On one hand I am asking the same damn questions as Dean and more but on the other hand I?m thinking dammit Dean you really don?t realise how much you?re worth. Probably makes me hypocritical or double standard but no more than God or the Bible seems to me so oh well. I?m just feeling very conflicted. One thing I have to say ? ?I?m not going to believe this thing is an angel of the Lord just because it says so!? This line from Dean had me saying THANK YOU! I hope Castiel is telling the truth but I need a little more proof ? real proof.
So okay pause for a moment and I just want to take a moment to think about how freaking sexy Dean Winchester is. Seriously? I think that man has gotten even sexier ? didn?t think it was possible but *sigh* Jensen Perfection.
And moving on ? Bobby had some fantastic lines in this episode, Starting off with calling the boys chuckleheads and stopping the argument from escalating. Ohhhh and I had a Stargate moment :P It was only a little one but when Bobby said some of the writing was in Cuniform I couldn?t not think of Daniel Jackson hee!! And back to the boys. I really like the attention to detail with these actors. Dean placing a hand to his shoulder while looking at the picture in Bobby?s book was a nice touch and ?
?Airlift your ass out of the hotbox?? See? Bobby has some of the best freaking lines ever. Never fails to put a smile on my face. And damn ? when Dean asked ?Why me?? and the look on his face. I think I died. This is one main reason I don?t want Castiel to be wrong. I mean I don?t know what I personally believe but if anyone is worthy of having ?God? save them it?s Dean. It doesn?t matter what he does ?Stealing, ditching chicks? lol Deep down, Dean has to be the most beautiful person, he has an amazing soul (totally not just me loving the ground that man walks on :P)
What I love about this show is its ability to have my heart in my throat and then the next second smirking and laughing. Dean?s reaction to the books Bobby put on the desk, making Sam get him some pie was great. Dean Winchester and his freaking pie lol I actually laughed out loud when the next scene had Sam in the Impala re-assuring his brother that he would not only get the chips that at some point got added to his food run but that he would not forget his pie ? ?when have I ever forgotten the pie?? You just had to know that he was going to forget it after a comment like that lol
I am trying not to judge simply on the fact that I don?t like the character of Ruby but I?m really not liking this new actress. Katie could occasionally get me to laugh. This one just, I dunno, rubs me the wrong way. I?m not at all impressed with the way she delivers her lines *sigh* I swear it?s not ?fans must hate all the women on the show? thing. I?m just generally not impressed with the actress this time. And yes I am still annoyed with Sam working with her. She?s a demon and I don?t care how she gets painted in this show I don?t think I will ever like her but now I can?t even appreciate the humour she used to bring. I have something to say about this but it can wait till later in my thoughts because I was so cheering ? but yes I will get on with that later ?
So yes Sam did forget the pie and the look on Dean?s face was priceless (LOVE that boy to BITS) I am so enjoying watching all this interaction between Bobby and the boys. They really have become a little family since they came back into Bobby?s life and it just continues to grow it?s just so enjoyable to watch. I loved Dean?s reaction to Bobby having to walk from the room when they found his hunter friend. It?s not often that Bobby is put in a position to show us that side of him. And once again I so appreciate Bobby?s dialogue. When Sam said - ?Something?s up, huh?? I was two seconds in front of Bobby with the ?Ya think.?
And two episodes in and I have seen a shit load of Dean asleep and LOVING IT! There is just something about that boy when he is asleep that totally has me going awww and I think it looks even sweeter when he goes to sleep in the Impala hehe
I wasn?t expecting Hendrickson to go to Sam first so when he showed up in the bathroom it was a surprise and even though I hated him for so long before liking him I think I miss him. He was awesome. I was cringing as he was kicking Sam?s arse ? that would have bloody hurt. All the way through I was going ?come on, Sammy? and then finally turned it to ?Dean? and then came my boy with his trusty shotty ![]()
Those girls were freaky and this was the second time that when searching for Bobby in Bobby?s house that Dean has sent Sam outside while he checks the interior ? and that?s just a random observation. It?s nice to see more of Bobby?s house. It?s bigger than I originally thought and that upstairs window is really nice. It was so awesome to see Meg again, despite the whole beating on Dean thing ? which wasn?t all that unpleasant either but all the hurt fans understand that :P
I admit that when Meg was first killed I hadn't put much thought into her family. I don?t blame the boys for her death (although I do think it was a bit wrong that they had grown up hunting with John, had Bobby as an uncle figure yet didn?t know the diff between a demon and a possessed person but I blame that more on the show itself than the Winchester boys ? they do what the script tells them lol) So I don?t think it was there fault but nevertheless it will get to them that they couldn?t save her. I will never forget the look on Dean?s face when he finally realised that she was dead. Meg haunted him from that point on. I was cringing when she was telling him about her baby sister ? like I said I hadn't really put much thought into it but there was so many consequences to her possession than just her pain and death and that has given me more to think about now when I watch the show. I felt sorry for her and her family and damn Nicki Aycox is amazing isn?t she? Meg was one character that I fell in love with straight away (Putting aside that she killed Jim and Caleb ? NO Caleb is alive! I like to live in that fantasy thank you lol). She was awesome and we haven?t had a female star on the show that I enjoyed watching quite as much as her. Now that?s a girl that can act. I was really impressed. In this part I felt sorry for her and for Dean. Smart boy shooting the iron :P
I was yelling at Sam through his whole search of the junkyard trying to tell him where Bobby was lol of course Sam cant hear me through the computer, as I said the girls were creepy ? oh and I loved seeing more of Bobby?s junk yard. We haven?t seen much of it aside from ELAC.
I cheered when Sam found him and Bobby and Sam got rid of the girls.
LOVED that Bobby?s panic room. That is just so awesome! I could so see John making one of those if he had of stayed more in one place lol Again I loved more of Dean?s questions ? so many of the same ones I have questioned when in religious debates lol but I loved even more that Bobby wasn?t even going ?touch that with a ten foot pole? smart man lol
I was soooo happy to see Ronald and Dean?s reaction to him and his reluctance to shoot at the start was adorable. I really loved that character. He was so sweet. Poor Ron.
Okay so hear comes the Meg part that I was nodding to. Her time with Sam upstairs I appreciated the most because she brought to attention how wrong Sam is by working with Ruby for things that that I always knew but hadn't really thought about. She is riding an innocent girl. That girl whoever she is a prisoner within herself and that is beyond wrong, yet Sam does nothing about it, he works with her willingly. Everything she said there I was nodding and saying ?yes?. I really hope Sam wont take all season to realise how wrong it is to work with her. Again, Nicki?s acting is awesome. She really knocked this one out of the ball park and brought real emotion to it!
I knew Dean was waiting for a chance to get some iron to fight off Hendrickson but I also knew at that point that he wasn?t going to be fooled lol if that?s true what Hendrickson said about the cop station ? I don?t even know what to say to that. Dean?s reactions in these moments kill me and why does everything go for his heart. It?s getting as bad as Sam and the choking lol there was Faith and then the nurse in Folsom and now Hendrickson lol I liked that he said ?No? when Sam asked him if he was alright lol
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time during the attack and Bobby?s incantation. It was fast paced and exciting and when Bobby got caught Meg I gasped. I know he?s in more episodes but I hate to see Bobby hurt coz I don?t trust it 100% that he will be safe the whole series. I will die if Bobby ever does. I?m confident for 9 episodes at least lol
And then yay more sleeping boys. I had to wonder considering how big Bobby?s house seems to be, yet the boys are asleep in the living room ? cute. I have to say it. I love Sammy but he?s not as cute as Dean is asleep ? maybe that?s just my Dean love but ? well yeah.
So ? Castiel again.
?If you say mysterious ways so help me I will kick your ass.? A-fucking-men ? pardon the pun ? This is one phrase that pisses me off to no end and I was freaking ecstatic when Dean interrupted. I was pretty much smiling through Dean?s angry speech but that part had me congratulating him. Once we got into the back and forth and discussing about what we?re dealing with I really enjoyed this interaction between the two. I don?t dislike Castiel; I?m just wary right now.
I go back to my earlier thing about liking the fact that Dean said he wasn?t going to believe Castiel. So I did have serious issue with his ?You should show me respect? and then the ?I brought you out of hell I can send you back? So much for free will ? sure there?s free will, you can choose gods/Castiel?s way or the highway ? Respect has to be earnt and I think after 20 odd years of hell and the fact that Dean never asked for any of this he has the right to question. He?s not a mindless soldier and has been doing good and saving people?s for years without gods help. I sympathise that other angels fell in battle but Human?s have been fighting the battle against evil for thousands of years without help and the losses have been great. ? So I think the attitude is in poor taste ? but that?s just my opinion *shrugs*
Ahhh and Dean asleep and gasping awake on the floor of Bobby?s ? I don?t know why but I find it cute. And I LOVED the ending. This season is going to fantastic, despite the issues im having and I sooooo cannot wait for next week. I cannot get enough of this show, the boys ? *happy sigh* Dean ?

It's FINALLY back and WOW what an episode. I was actually surprised by how soon it had been aired and how quickly we managed to get a download. A shout out to Lisa who's internet went down right on the worst day possible. I hope you get it back soon dude because I hate that you havent seen it yet!! Back onto the episode? This could get long because I tend to get rambly on a good day so anyone who actually reads this ... well good luck ...
Okay two things I have to say first off? The Red lettering of the title. I love that they have changed that every season and I really liked the read, i dont know why coz red has never really been a big fan of red (other than liking Dean in that red shirt and owning a red car with red and black seat covers ... still not sure how that happened) but i really liked it. The second thing? "Shook Me All Night long" playing through out the whole recap - LOVED IT!!!! I so had the biggest smile on my face and was singing through it. What can I say? I love my AC/DC. I think it would be downright un-australian not to so I am stoked everytime they are mentioned or their music is played and they are so perfect for this series. I know I always think of the show when i hear them now (okay, i think about the show pretty much all the time too but thats beside the point)
The scared eyes, bathed in blood and the screams. I was wincing and had my hand over my mouth coz it didnt take much to realise what we were seeing and even those little flashes seemed so intense and they should be because we know what they were and where he was.
Now I was one of those incredibly weak individuals that searched out the first 5 minutes when i heard it was shown at comic con and it had me pysched and needing more but I'm happy to say it didnt ruin a thing. Seeing it without the crowed at comic con talking, without the blue tinge and weird angle? Made me feel like I was watching it for the first time. Due to the conditions of the videos on YouTube I missed alot of important things. Dean's voice breaking with un-use was just ... well it was so ... good without sounding strange and I'm kinda glad they went there and rememberd tiny details like that. I was cringing when he opened up the coffin, knowing all that dirt was going to fall down on top of him.
But how good does that boy look all dirty? I was mesmerised but him. The complete WTF, confused, scared, lost look had me wanting to make it all okay for him. BUT OMG Dean Winchester, walking down the road alone in jeans and a black t-shirt, shirt tied around his waist ... OMG That man is absolutely perfect in ever fucking way!!! Gah!! I think I died a little at that image. I had a good chuckle at the date on the news paper! That was pretty clever, I have to admit and his busty asian beauty's mag lol Ohh and also going back to him chugging down mouthfuls of water? How Hot was that!! I think I am in Dean Winchester overdrive right now lol My god, that chest of his ... his body ... gah!! Yummy!!
I was worried when I first saw the "whine" and glass breaking on YouTube but now that I have seen the whole episode it made me worry a little more. I loved watching him in the telephone booth. Calling the only two people in the world he has poor Bobby. I did feel sorry for him and then I felt sorry for Dean when the man hung up on him. His look when he saw the only car available was pretty priceless lol
Again, I had already seen the Bobby/Dean reunion but it lost no excitement for me! The way Bobby's breathing almost hitches and gets shaky nearly brought a tear to my eye when i watched the DC's and it was the same. The way they clinged to each other .... it was just so full of awesomeness. But then we got to the part where the DC's cut off and it was another aww filled moment when Bobby statd that it was good to see him and Dean responded in kind ... and the splash of water in Dean's face totally caught me off guard and had me laughing hard. The splash, the pause, Dean's face as water dripped off his chin ... it was priceless and probably something I should have expected because I rememberd when I had watched the DC I was thinking he hadnt tried holy water yet lol Too CUTE on both Dean and Bobby's account.
I got so excited when Dean stated the name Wedge Antilles. I actually shouted "Ha! Star Wars!!" as I laughed at that. I love this show for the pop culture references!! Especially since i can connect with so many of them.
Everytime Bobby mentions how hard it had been in the months after Dean's death it puts a lump in my throat and to see that when he lost Dean that he also lost Sam is so sad and makes me want to hug Bobby too ( I so want to just hug them all really) I like that he stressed "and for me" as well when stating how hard it had been for not just Sam but Bobby too. Those boys are like his own sons.
*Sigh* Finally the reunion between Dean and Sam. I was riveted to the computer screen as soon as I heard and then saw Sam. The way he stopped and stared at Dean like he had seen a freaking ghost. I felt for him because I knew that he didnt have anything to do with Dean beng brought back so of course had no idea that this was ACTUALLY his brother and for him in that moment whatever was standing there wearing his brothers skin would have been a painful reminder of what he had lost and I doubted he even realised Bobby was there until the older man grabbed him. That whole scene with Bobby holding Sam's shaking body as he tried to convince him that it really was Dean? Well it really was as amazing as I was hoping for. I have never and probably will never be anything close to a Sam girl but the boy over this last year has been killing me with his emotions and this was no different. God the way they hugged each other and then tightened that grip again ... This show absolutely rocks!!
The look on Dean's face when Kristie asked if they were together, as if wondering why they were always being pinned as gay, made me laugh but then I was back to smiling warmly with the way Sam said that Dean was his brother. There was so much weight in those words.
One of my favourite parts came next. the Kathy/Kristie mix up and Sam's grin as he leant on the door frame. That look reminded me so much of Dean and my brother who had obviosuly been watching the screen behind us burst out laughing speaking exactly what we were thinking lol And then all cuddly moments were over and you could feel the tension, Dean's anger at Sam doing something stupid and detrimental to himself to get Dean out of hell. Again I as riveted as it turned physical for a moment. Again Sam did me in with those damn painfully sad and hurt eyes as he confessed that he hadnt been able to save his brother, that he had tried and tried but nothing works but in true Dean/Jensen fashioned he had one up on Sam when he admitted that it was okay, that he believed him. The look in his eyes and the shakyness went along way to say what he was thinking. If Sam hadnt done it then what the fuck did?
I have to admit when Dean said he had almost forgotten the Impala we were like "what???" but i was soothed right away with the way he talked to her. but OMG THE funniest moment in the episode i would have to say was the IPOD and the music that played through the impala when the car turned on. Dean looked so disgusted and insulted and annoyed and it was soooo good to see that. God I loved it.
I really like Pam. I liked the way she was so easygoing with everyone but flirty in a way that didnt immediately annoy me. I mean come on if I was a friend of Bobby's and he brought the boys around I would be looking too lol And see just goes to show that i dont dislike all females that come into this show - I liked Sarah, Meg, Madison(a little), Carmen, Missouri, and Ellen eventually and then Pam ... but are you seeing a pattern? All the decent females die or we never see them again. Pam is supposed to be reacurring though isnt she? That's something.
My other FAVOURITE part was the DC we saw of Dean thinking he was in good with Pam only for her to say "You're invited too, grumpy." to Sam .... the best part was what the DC didnt show - Dean and his "You're NOT invited!" That was a classic and had me in fits way into the next scene ... I love these parts so much i dont even know how to articulate it properly lol
Of course right in the next scene you have Pam feeling Dean up which kept the chuckles going until Sam saw the hand print on his brothers arm. That expression said alot and to me he almost look like he wanted to get up and do something about it but of course there was nothing he could do. Dean opening his eyes in the seance and looking to see if anyone else was sneaking a peak cracked me up. Reminds me of the church scene in HookMan when Sam has to nudge him to get him to lower his head and shut his eyes for some reason lol
I have a serious issue with eye injuries (i still havent watched the actual part in TIOMS when the doc goes to carm Sam's eyes out) so seeing empty sockets kind of grosses me out ... and how bad would that be? *shudders* And see I liked her ... I may be a jinx.
Dean's Perky Nipples have had me laughing well after watching the episode. That comment struck me as funny and continued to well after watching lol But in all seriousness the way Sam looked like a raging pitbull ready to go off at a moments notice yet held back without Dean actually having to say anything after four months of not being with him had me on the edge of my seat. I said im not a Sam girl BUT you get Sam protective of Dean, of him getting that dark angry look on his face while protecting his brother? and I LOVE it!! ADORE it!!! That is the Sam that really gets me.
Dean handled the scene in true Dean Winchester fashion and I breathed a sigh of relief with him when they exited the diner ... OKAY, STOP FOR A SECOND! .... I need to take a moment to make mention to the Diner's name ... any Brotherhood Fans? Johnny Mac's Diner lmao How fucking funny. Mum and I nearly died of laughter at the coincidence of that lol OKAY BACK TO THE SHOW!! ... Dean saying Mo'fo brought a smile to my face because I love that they try to allow the boys to swar like that as much as possible without them ACTUALLY swearing due to censors lol
Okay, Now I need to take a moment and revel in the utterly adorable and sweet sight of Dean asleep sitting up on a fold out bed. I am in love with that man, pure and simple! There is just something about that man that sends me crazy ... he is perfection and I seriously love watching his face when he is asleep ... and enough of that.
When the glass breaking and whine came back i kept yelling at him to move his damn arse from under the ceiling mirrors. I couldnt stop smiling as Bobby burst in to save the day ... i dont think i can stop saying the word adorable but man ... these guys are just ... adorable.
Ohh the out right lying starts and has me worried. I'm used to Sam keeping secrets .. he's been doing that for a while now but now its even worse and Dean is keeping secrets himself and I liked that Bobby seemed unsure and weirded out by Dean not telling Sam the truth besides the fact that they could have used Sam's help.
Sam's powers .... WOW just how strong is that boy and did YED know exactly how strong the boy was when he gave him his blood? That exorcism although kinda exciting is worried coz like you said, gaelic, Yoda was right. The darkside is more seductive but easier as well ... its part of what makes it so seductive and I have nothing against Sam using his powers especially because he seems to want to be good and do good so much but im worried that the more he uses them the harder it will be to fight the darkness ... his gifts did come from a demonic source after all.
I'm not sure what I think of this actress yet. She doesnt come across very natural and even though I have disliked certain characters like say Jo, Ruby, Bela etc i have never disliked their acting skills, in fact Katie Cassidy earnt a lot of respect especially in the finale ... this actress playing Kristie/Ruby I'm really not sure I like. And I'm sorry but Ruby stating that Dean's his brother and she doesnt want to get between them. I jsut cant stomach that. I dont care how nice and "humanised" Kripke wants to paint her shes a demon and i wont accept her ... and i hate Sam working with her. I would rather he worked with his powers on his bloody own. See this is where I wish for the Brotherhood to be real. He has Mac and Caleb to help him with his growing powers
But in the end I guess we'll see but I cant ever really see myself liking him working with Ruby but thats just me. That said, Ruby is right. Dean is going to be a hell of a lot more pissed should he find out about Sam using his powers by someone else. He needs to tell Dean regardless of how angry the boy gets. This storyline worries me to know end BUT excites me at the same time because I am the first to admit that i didnt really like Sam all that much until i saw BUABS and he stood out to me in that ( I mean i liked him coz he was Dean's brother and all but it took me a while to get over some things with him and to actually like him majority of the time. Kinda like loving him on default for being Dean's little brother until he came into his own lol)
I LOVED the reaction Dean got when he asked Bobby if he got the summoning spell correct lmao That was way cool and the way he figited and looked bored ... there's that Alec/ADD kid in him that I love.
So Castiel, the name(although I know its big) means nothing to me since I'm not an overly religeous person. I took religeous instruction in Primary School and treated it almost like a free class. I have my own issues and skeptism with religeon that I can relate to with Dean (without having to go through the life that Dean has gone through) and its not something I really pay attention to unless the subject is brought up ... to which debates ensue usually lol But as I said I know enough to know that this is big. I glared at the guy when he touched Bobby even though I know he obviously didnt kill him. Dean's self worth has always been something that kills me a little. He is so beautiful, inside and out and probably one of the most self sacrificing person i have seen. He is so much more than he gives himself credit for!
Okay the wings? Mum and I both gasped and I know we were both thinking of Lisa's Protectors 'Verse where we have given John large black wings upon his return from hell. It was playing right into our little AU and Lisa, I have a feeling we are going to have fun with the manipulations we could make of this ... i hope we see more of those wings
god that was awesome lol
So in the premiere alone I had Johnny Mac - Brotherhood Reference and the black wings Protectors Verse reference ... thats just awesome!!!
I am not used to leaving the boys apart at the end of an episode and now my god I am hanging for next week to come fast. That episode was an awesome starter. I adored it! I loved it! I love them! All three of them! This show has to be one of the best I have seen on TV in long time. Theres not one episode I really hate and the characters keep growing and growing (and yes getting hotter and hotter!!!)
Happy Supernatural Day Everyone and I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

Supanova ? The Night Before. Thursday
My Dad had graciously given me the day off on Friday and possibly Monday so that I could drive to Sydney to attend the Supanova Convention. So all week leading up to the Con I worked, trying to make up for time I was taking away from work to see Jared.
Thursday I worked until 4pm and then was allowed to leave early which was a good thing because I had to stop by Coles Supermarket to pick up some food for the trip. I got some rolls and some meat and some salad and some chips and some chocolate to munch on the way and then headed to my mums. It was already getting dark and I still hadn?t cleaned out the trunk of my car ? or the backseat. I pretty much live out of my car half the time so believe me when I say it needed to be cleaned out. Normal people would have done that before the night before the trip lol
After arriving at my mums I got my Nan to give me a few garbage bags and I filled two of them with clothes and empty bottles and old childhood soft toys that my Mum had nagged me to take home with me and then never left the trunk of my car. I cleared it all out while in the dark and the rain. I almost felt like Bobby and Sam must have felt like in my current fic, without the whole Vampires holding Dean thing. It was freezing but I accomplished that task. My car was fully ready for luggage and whatever else it needed to carry ? including us.
The making of the rolls was more of a hassle. One wouldn?t think it was so hard to make some meat and salad rolls but it is quite difficult when your younger brother (who is actually 21 but still a child ) is busy bowling a miniature tennis ball at you down the length of the kitchen. For some reason the kid was in a extremely annoying mood, even more so than usual and it just happened to be while I was trying to concentrate on having everything ready for our big road trip. I ended up slapping him with some lettuce leaves only for him to grab them and put them down my top ? little shit (well I should say big coz he towers over me lol)
Food prepared and packaged it was then time to check that I had everything ready to wear. Picking out an outfit for my picture with Jared might sound lame but it turned out to be a very important activity as I was having trouble deciding. I finally decided what I would wear for Saturday?s photo session and then went on to figure out what I would wear to his question and answer panel lol I turn out to be more of a girl than I thought I was sometimes. I guess it?s the fan girl in me coming out lol
That done my mother and I spent the rest of the night downloading and burning music for the trip, Supernaturally related of course hehe.
Caroline (carikube) called me during all this to negotiate my original plan of a 4am start. Shelley (ephiny63) my friend and a massive Sam!Girl was oming with us but was staying at Caroline?s for the night and I had to agree with them that I wasn?t looking forward to having to get up that early either so we all agreed on 5am.
I eventually got to sleep at 12am.
Supanova ? Day 1. Friday
After a 12am bedtime I really wasn?t happy when my alarm went off at 3.30am. A necessary evil for this trip but it didn?t mean that I was happy about it. I almost fell back asleep but thanks to my Nan, she came out and made sure I stayed awake. I had a shower straight away to wake myself up and then checked my email because I would be email-less for the whole weekend and that alone will probably kill me lol.
Just before we were ready to leave I realised that I couldn?t find my shoes. I knew I had taken them off in the living room the night before but for the life of me I couldn?t find them at all. I was like "why now?" Eventually I found them under my Nan?s jacket that had fallen to the floor covering them.
So off we were in the car with our clothes, food and music. First stop was Caroline?s to pick up Shelley. It was still dark and freezing and Shelley was still in the shower when we got there so we sat down talking to Caroline while she looked for the coffee she had promised Shelly that she had. She found some that wasn?t totally outdated and we all sat around talking for a bit before we hit the road.
Caroline is a major Sammy fan too and I wish that she had of been able to join us but she is planning her new American trip to visit with Emily (A-Black-winged-bird) so Shelley and I will try and get her a photo signed, but it?s a surprise hehe
We started the road trip off with "Back in Black" which I think was very fitting considering why we were on this road trip and who we were going to see. Filling up and getting everyone drinks we were finally really off. "Carry On My Wayward Son" was next on the list and it felt good to be on the road. I have driven up the Hume Highway a lot since I have gotten my license and it?s always been during the day so driving up it in the pitch black of early morning was an experience.
Soon enough we realised that the CD?s we burnt our music onto were crappy. They were my brother Matt?s and I will have to make point of telling him when I get back how crappy his discs are. We mostly heard 3 ¼?s of the songs we burnt because that?s all his CD?s would play. I proved that it wasn?t my CD player by playing my proper Matchbox Twenty Album and it had no problems.
Soon enough we hit light and had made really good progress, probably because I have a bit of a lead foot and once I?m on a highway I sort of just fly lol. We stopped at a McDonald?s at a rest stop so that Mum could have a cigarette and so Shelley could get a coffee. Turns out my rolls weren?t half bad even though Matt had tried his hardest to distract me with his mini tennis ball.
After stretching our legs we got back on the road and I continued in the roll of driver. We talked sporadically in between songs about Supernatural and general stuff. We had a discussion about the Winchesters height and we found it amusing that on "our" road trip we had a Dean!Girl (ME), John!Girl (MUM) and a Sam!Girl (SHELLE) and that just like the order of tallest to shortest in the Winchester clan goes Sam, John and Dean? We were in the same order. Shelle, then Mum and then me being the shortest.
We stopped off at yet another McDonalds a few hours out of Sydney because by this point we had been driving for 8 hours ? well actually I had been doing the 8 hours of driving. So we at some McDonalds and took some much needed relief from being stuck in the car all day.
Back on the road I was behind the wheel again with my mother bitching that I was a stubborn bitch for not letting anyone take over the driving. I was getting tired but not the type of tired that I couldn?t drive. At this point I was damn determined to finish this trip by myself. Ten hours later we arrived in Sydney and our trouble began.
We found our way to the Dome and Shelley rang her friend, the one that will be working with Jared while he is here and she told us that there was no use turning up till 6 so we decided to go and check into the hotel we had booked. We found the road, found all the numbers except for the street number of the hotel. We called the hotel (after having to call them at least 4 times during the week to fix their mistakes) they couldn?t tell us how to get there. They work at the freaking place and couldn?t tell us. I went for a walk around the block to see if I was missing something and then went into one of the stores near by. Apparently we were in the wrong end of the road which put us in the wrong suburb. Sooo, we headed towards where we now new the hotel was and eventually found it ourselves. I went in to check us in and find out that I had to sign something like a rental agreement form and pay bond which they just used the money that they were supposed to reimburse me (long story) but what hotel makes you do that? That was just crappy and we don?t even have our own bathroom *sigh* that sucks but oh well, we will live.
So then it was time to head to the Dome and check out where we were supposed to be going and to pick up our tickets. We found a car park right out side the train station and headed over to the ANZ stadium which we thought was the Dome. We then got told where the Dome was by some staff at the ANZ Stadium and walked across the road to it. Turns out the place was literally around the corner maybe less than two minutes from where we had parked but we had walked right around it instead lol
To top off our "Good luck" The staff at the con had three people working on one person?s entry at a time. It took THREE people to work out one persons tickets and I started to get a bad feeling because they so looked like they didn?t know what they were doing. Gets to our turn (I had bought and paid for our three tickets and had to pick them up from the venue.) I give them my printed out email receipt and they have issue with it saying it doesn?t prove I bought three tickets. By this point I had so had it and I wasn?t going to allow this to happen. I told them I had paid for three! My voice indicating that I wasn?t walking away without three. Eventually the three women handed my receipt to one of the guys who went and saw another guy who eventually said it was fine! So now we are all sporting yellow wrist bands. But we have our tickets and I am happy that we have that at least.
We met up with Shelle?s friend Carol and then decided to go out and get something to eat before coming back to watch the Australian Premier of Stargate: Continuum. We ended up at McDonalds ?. AGAIN lol We will all be so sick of Macca?s by the end of this trip lol By the time we got back to the Dome we had a look inside the room that they were holding the new Stargate movie and saw that even with time to spare it was packed so Mum and I decided to head back to the Motel. Shelle is spending the night with Carol.
So we get back to the Hotel and I get a text message from Shelle saying that we have to be on the ball, quick with getting things done tomorrow because Jared?s VIP?s and Super Hero fan passes are all booked up and we don?t wanna miss out on a photo with him.
And I am sitting here right now listening the band play LOUDLY from downstairs. I forgot that we were staying above a hotel and it is Friday night. It?s very loud here right now but the band is at least decent so it?s not as bad as it could be. Oh and we have a window like Roger Miller?s window in "Nightmare" hehe
I hope we have a good day tomorrow. I am still processing that Jared arrived here tonight and is just around the corner from me in his hotel ? OMG! That in itself is surreal for me.
Supanova ? Day 2. Saturday
I think I woke up and was ready by at 6.30pm. We knew we wanted to be ready as early as possible with Shelle?s warning. So 7.30am and I drove over to the dome and dropped mum off to meet Shelle (she stayed with her friend Carol) at the station while I drove over to the stadium next door and parked my car in the multi-level car park there. From there it is only a 5 minute walk from the dome. Shelle and Mum were waiting for me and they told us to line up we got FIRST place in line
. We were going into this determined to get what we wanted out of it lol.
We had to stand around for what seemed like forever but while we were there Shell was telling mum and I about what she heard from her friends about Jared?s arrival in Australia! It was so good to have the inside goss. Made the experience even better to know what was going on with Jared behind the scenes.
Apparently Jared?s plane was diverted to Cairns and more things went wrong for him which I wont go into right now but I found it amusing that Mum had been bitching about all of our bad luck and that Jared was probably relaxing in his hotel room, with no trouble and the poor boy had worse trouble than what we had lol.
When the doors finally opened I saw how smart it was for us to make sure we got there early and how important it was for us to make sure we got first in line. That first day, for a start, I heard that the line went right around the outside of the dome and I would believe that because the line outside was getting scary long. Upon entrance we were given showbags which held most Anime crap but did have a bottle of shaving cream. Why? I don?t know but I thought it was cool because that was what Dean had given Sam for Christmas in the Christmas episode.
Shelle had been allowed behind the scenes the night before so we knew exactly where we needed to be in order to get photo tokens and stuff. We got there with hardly anyone there but people were crowding fast. Autograph?s for Jared cost $40 each and unlike the Chris Judge Con where you had to pay for the photo separately. I picked up one for me, mum, Lisa(angelustatt) (coz my poor friend was missing out now that Jared cancelling in Perth) and for Evelyne(alwaysateen) I also bought mum and I photo tokens to get our portraits done later. So while Michelle went to the toilet, mum and I kept our place in the line for Jared?s signature even though we still had a little while to wait. Turns out we were lucky enough to get right behind the VIP?s and SupaHero fans again. Which means after the "special people" we were first in line. We were told by staff that if a VIP or someone with a red wrist band came that they were allowed to get ahead of us and as frustrating as that was it wasn?t too bad I guess.
All this time it still almost didn?t feel all that real. I mean yeah I had just driven 10 hours to Sydney to meet Jared Padalecki but I hadn?t actually seen the man yet so it was still all just talk. I mean these guys never do this in Australia. I have seen so many cons on Youtube and so many of my friends have met them now so it was weird to think that it was actually happening here. And all this time I?m thinking yeah this is exciting but it?s not like its Jensen. I can handle meeting Jared and not go totally spastic. That all changed when we heard cheering and I turned around to look at the autograph tables and Jared came walking out. He was smiling and waving and looked genuinely happy and I was like OMG this is actually real. Jared Padalecki is standing maybe less than ten feet away from me. Now without sounding totally crazed? I spend so much time (work and spending time with friends aside) watching these boys, thinking about these boys, writing these boys and making videos about these boys and I cant really explain what it was like to actually be not only in the same country, not only in the same state, not only in the same room but standing right across from him. It was just really surreal and all I think was OMG OMG lol
Okay before I rave more about the beautiful person that is Jared I will say that Nichelle Nichols from the Original Star Trek was there at the table, as well as someone from Battlestar Galatica and Jewel Staite from Firefly and Stargate Atlantis. We found out that Carol (Shelle?s friend) had been taken off being Jared?s PA because the boss?s daughter or neice or something like that had wanted the job and coz she was more Jared?s age they decided it might be better for him. Carol was pissed and I personally don?t see the point of changing it but anyways Carol ended up being PA to Nichelle.
Back to Jared ? Getting closer and closer to him as the line moved was exciting and as you do in these situations you keep snapping photos and more photos and then I thought to call Lisa. I seriously felt wrong doing this without her and I wanted to give her as much of the experience as possible and I just needed to talk to her since Jared was getting closer and closer and he was laughing and joking with people and smiling and just gorgeous. Lisa squealed in my ear and I wasn?t totally understanding of why until she told me later that she had hear Jared laughing over the phone lol.
My mother turned into a bigger fan girl than me. I mean I have always been a little ?who cares? when it comes to Sam but I have had a deeper appreciation for him over the last couple of years but my mother is worse than me with Sam but he made an impression on her. She got Lisa?s photo signed for me as well as her own. Shelle was before me and then it was my shot and I was literally standing there with just a table between me and Jared, between me and Sam Winchester and how weird is that. He was staring off in the distance when I got there and I was quiet taking the opportunity of his distraction to take him in. As I have just been saying I haven?t exactly ever been a Sam lover but I?ve always known he was good looking but Jensen?s more my type of guy (AND STILL IS!!!! Dean will always be my boy lol) but I have to say that in person Jared is gorgeous. He has a really sweet face, a really likable face and he had STUBBLE!! Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I have a huge love for stubble lol and it was a good look on Jared!!
So anyways he turns back to me and smiles and I melt. His eyes are beautiful, something hasn?t really appreciated enough before (Jensen has a habit of not letting me notice anyone else?s eyes: P) He says hi and I introduce myself as Tara and he gives me a big "Hey Tara" and leans forward, smile still plastered to his face. His voice was so Sam, so Jared, so familiar because between dvd?s and youtube I at least hear it once a day it was so cool, so surreal. I thanked him for coming out at the exact same time he thanked me for coming which earned me an amused smile. I got him to sign my and Evelyne?s photo?s and then thanked him again. It amazes me that no matter how much you prepare yourself you still don?t say what you would like to but it doesn?t matter because the experience was just awesome. I walked out of the line and back towards Shelle and Mum and they both have the biggest grins on their faces and to my utter surprise my mum was more excited than I have seen her ? well in a very, very long time if ever and it was over Jared. Not that she doesn?t like the guy at all but seeing her like that over Jared was funny and I understood because it was the best. When you meet these people, celebs that you really love and invest so much time in, you don?t want to be disappointed if you get to meet them and I think even just those 20 to 30 seconds of photo signing exceeded any expectations I had. All I know is that if this is the way she acts with Jared then I might be actually scared if she ever got the chance to meet Jeffrey Dean Morgan. God, how will I be if I ever get the chance to meet Jensen? Lol
After we finished with the autographs we walked away with a fan that had been talking to in the autograph line all 4 of us rambling and laughing and rambling some more about the coolness of the whole experience. We headed straight for the area where the photo?s would be taken and stood there waiting. It was still a couple of hours before Jared was due to do photo?s but we wanted to make sure that we got there first in line. We put our bags on the floor next to the wall of the room and people joined us slowly against the wall. We kept one person at our spot at all times while the others could walk around and stuff. Eventually the staff made two lines. Our line was for normal people and we were first in line and the second line was for VIP?s and Supahero pass?s and both lines kept growing and growing and growing ?
We were standing there next to the volunteer girls and they were looking at the lines and were looking concerned worried that not all of the "normal people" would be able to get done. Mum and I looked at them like don?t say that because by that point we had been standing there waiting for like an hour and half lol. They laughed and said to us not to worry they would make sure that we did because he had been there for a ridiculous amount of time to miss out lol That made us feel better.
Shelle came back to us with this huge big smile on her face and she told us that she had been feeling a little sick and her friends had let her sit behind the scenes to have a drink and something to eat and Jared had been there doing TV interviews and they had lifted up his shirt to fix the microphone to him and she got to see his stomach lol I thought she had been gone long lol.
Long, long time after that Jared arrived at the photo booth for photo?s. The "Special people" started filing in and they were trying to do it fast so that no-one would miss out. I could see Jared but he was only on the other side of the thin wall and the guard was right next to me and I could see people coming out smiling back into the room and stuff and at one point his guard told Jared that he needed to move things along a bit lol Apparently he couldn?t stop chatting and joking around with people which I think is great. He makes it really sorta personal if you know what I mean. He makes the short moments you have with him special so you can take that with you and I think (well to me anyways) that you can tell that he really enjoys mingling with the fans and you have to love the boy for that. They managed to get all the first line through pretty fast even with Jared still talking with people and then it was our turn. Shelle went first and she had already organised with the photographer to have the photo taken on Jared?s opposite side because she has an injured shoulder. Jared joked with her that his right side wasn?t good enough for her until she explained why to which he then gave her advice on what to take for it after the photo was done ? How cute hehe Then I let mum go ahead of me and he apologised to her for being so tall, to which she naturally replied that she liked tall guys lol. He then replied with one big cheeky smile that well then that?s good coz "he?s tall" ? again, how cute!!!!
All I could do was smile when I walked in there and he held his arm our becking me closer. I said hi and he reciprocated back with that gorgeous big dimpled smile of his, a "hi" of his own and then pulled me close and OMG that boy is STRONG! It?s like a shock to the system when you can feel his body pulled tight to yours and his stubbled chin resting on your head hehe I wrapped my arm around the back of him and rested my hand on his side and I could just feel the hard toned muscled there ? wow. It felt like he was leaning right into me and because of his height, right over me lol. He pulled back and looked down at me and asked me if I wanted a stool because he was so tall lol. I shook my head and probably looked star struck or something but told him that I was quite fine with the way things were lol Hey, who was I to complain when I felt tucked into his body? No I was quite happy where I was and just trying to accept the wow-ness of the moment, standing with my arm around Jared Padalecki. So he got close again and the photo was taken and I rubbed his side as I said thank you, he smiled, I smiled and walked out and almost died coz wow that was so good. The boy is turning me into mush, a typical fan girl and I really didn?t think it would happen like that. As I said, way exceeded my expectations. He just really goes out of his way to give the fans that moment and I can appreciate him for that because we put a lot of time, effort and money on him and the show.
Mum told me her story and Shelle told me hers and then we had to go outside and get some fresh air. It was hard to walk away from that booth knowing that he was just there!!! Lol but we did. Mum stayed having a cigarette outside the front and Shelle and I went across the road to get some drinks and something to eat and we brought it back to mum where we gushed some more about Jared and the boys ? and Jeffrey of course. Shelle went back inside to see if she could find Carol while mum and I continued to have supernatural related conversation and the girls who are running the Aussie Supernatural convention campaign found us and we talked to them for a bit. It was amusing because Mum, Shelle and I had just been talking about them inside and then there they were. I know I have asked a lot of my friends to sign that petition but if anyone wants to help us poor aussies get a full on strictly supernatural convention please click on the ink below and sign the petition. We need all the help we can get!
When I got back inside I went to the toilet and Shelle called my mobile telling me she was at the photo booth getting our photos so I told her that I would meet her there. I walked past the autograph tables and Jared was back at work signing, smiling, laughing, talking and I walked past slowly, getting some more looks at him lol and then headed over to where they were handing out people?s photo?s. That was a little chaotic but we eventually got ours and wow. Having the photo was what I really wanted to walk away with because if this experience went so fast that I didn?t remember much lol I wanted to photo to remind me that YES it actually happened.
Shelle told us that Carol told her that Nichelle Nichols was annoyed and giving them grief because Jared was getting all the attention. She actually had them move her autograph table to around the corner so she wasn?t with the other celebrities. It?s pathetic. I love Star Trek. I don?t mind the original I guess but what the hell has that woman done since playing Uhura? And OMG how self centered but I guess you have the good celeb?s and the bad ones lol but I just found that sad.
We decided to leave for our hotel after that and Shelle waited around to do something for Carol and she called me when I was driving back to say that she was still there when Jared had left and he had told everyone there that they are definitely doing season 4 (obviously) hopefully season 5 and then after that he is keeping his fingers crossed because there has been talks of giving them a movie. OMG could imagine them boys on the big screen??????? Jensen?s big green eyes on that hug screen. *dies right now* I?m crossing my fingers too because as much as I understanding Kripke?s reasons for wanting to end it after 5 years? It still kills me to think of no more Winchesters in the world, no more episodes. A movie makes me feel better hehe.
Saturday night we had dinner downstairs at the hotel and a drink but with Rugby (YUCK) pretty much consuming all visual and sound down there we headed upstairs and stared at our photos some more and spoke to Lisa on the phone some more lol. I have been calling her all day and I know my phone bill will be huge this month but I needed to talk to her after this experiences lol. She?s practically one of my best friends and to not be able to experience this with her sucks but the phone was the next best thing I guess.
I wrote down my thoughts and then went to bed because the next day we weren?t chancing anything either. We were getting there early!!! Saturday was perfect. We did everything we had set out and Jared had made our day!! Just by simply being who he is!
Supanova ? Day 3. Sunday
Okay, I can tell you right now that even though I?d had a great time with Jared the day before I really didn?t want to wake up. The hotel wasn?t great but the beds were awesome and I was very comfortable and warm and I?m sure ignored my phone alarm a number of times before Mum told me to get my arse up lol
We packed up all of our stuff and left the hotel, packing our bags in the trunk and then just like the day before I dropped Mum off at the Dome and I went and parked the car.
When I arrived at the Dome, people were all hanging around and Shelle hadn?t showed up yet. She called me not long after to say he would be an hour still. It was a little confusing on where we were supposed to line up but when all the people there for Selma Blair were taken around the corner it got a little clear and we ended up not first but close enough so we were pretty happy with ourselves.
Shelle told us that Jared had flown to Melbourne the night before for promotions with Channel 10 and I found it amusing that we had driven all the way to Sydney to see him and then he flies to Melbourne hehe Poor boy musta been tired.
Once inside we were glad that we had gotten signatures and photo?s the day before because the lines were already huge even as we walked around there. Knowing that most of the chairs on the floor in the Anime Theatre would be packed for Jared?s panel we claimed some seats on the step seats and once again always kept two of us there to mind them. Good thing we did because as we expected because it just kept filling up. A lot of people were there for the Anime stuff that we suffered through but a lot of people were claiming their Jared seats like us lol
While I was waiting for Jared?s panel to start I left Shelle watching our seats while I went and caught up with kissnchips and her friend that had flown in for the day. The poor girl?s were waiting in the lines for ages but they had fun J
When it came time for the panel they got the theatre organised and everyone seated and then Jared turned up at the side and we could see that he was still eating his lunch. They called him up on the stage and he sorta scoffed down the rest of it quickly before wiping his mouth down before running up on stage. I had a giggle because we all know what Jared is like about his food hehe.
Jared was great up stage. He?s so used to it by now he just settles in. Even though he must have been tired he still seemed excited and eager and happy and it was so exciting seeing this in person. I have watched these boys on stage at the conventions on youtube and It was a real trip actually being at one and watching him.
I called Lisa at the start of the Q&A and let her listen to the whole thing over the phone. It was the closest I could get to getting her there. She needed to experience this. I had heard the answers to a lot of the questions asked before but some of them were a little original and some he answered a little differently than he has before which was good too. It was sooo fun.
He was asked what his favourite line from the show was and he said it was "I lost my shoe." To which everyone totally agreed and then he even gave us the look, the pout that goes along with that line. He was so cute!! I found it funny because the night before Mum and I had watched "Bad Day At Black Rock" before we went to bed and that has to be one of my favourite Sammy moments hehe.
There were two stupid questions *sigh* but I know there?s always a few and for the most part it was pretty damn good. Jared practically pouted when he was told that there was no more time left and he was still talking into the microphone, thanking everyone, while people were filing out. SOOOO CUTE!! From there he went and posed for more photos with people and Mum, Shelle and I went outside again.
Once we got back inside we took around at the other stalls that we had basically ignored the whole time. There was one store that was selling Supernatural merchandise and Stargate stuff too! I was soooooo tempted but I decided against getting anything because all that stuff I can get on the Supernatural site and the stuff I wanted from Stargate I couldn?t quite afford. I was happy with my Jared stuff for the weekend.
I went back over to the photo booth to stare at Jared and watch him interacting with the fans. Again I will say he was just so good J and I am glad he is tall lol Mum went to wait for us outside coz she was tired and Shelle really wanted the Sam t-shirt they were selling (the same one Jensen was wearing at Chicago) but she didn?t have enough money left so I leant her the money.
So while she was off buying her top, I went and found kissnchips again and spoke to them for a bit and then offered to hold their bags while they had their turn at getting their photo with Jared. So I stood there watching again lol The girls got back to me pretty quickly and they said that Jared was supposed to have finished up like ten minutes before. So the poor guy was working overtime on the photos ? just makes him more adorable. They got everyone in and then he stuck his head out of the doorway, waved, thanked us again and blew a few kisses. I showed the girls to the store selling Supernatural stuff and then bid them goodbye.
We left begrudgingly. It was hard leaving knowing Jared was still in the area but we did. We almost got lost getting out and back to the hotel because they had blocked off a lot of the roads for the bloody soccer. When we did get back we got our "Bond" back and It was Mum?s turn to drive.
We got lost on the way out. Like in the total opposite direction. We stopped at a service station and some guy was nice enough to point us in the right direction. The drive back was long and tiring and pretty much all in the dark. Mum drove most of the way but I took over the last hour and it felt so weird to be back. We dropped off Shelle at Caroline?s at something like 3.30am and then headed to my work to quickly scan our photos with Jared hehe. Crazy at that time in the morning but I didn?t want to wait lol
So by the time we got home it was probably 5am and we were kinda sad it was over, having gotten used to being in Jared?s presence for pretty much two days lol
This weekend has been THE BEST I have had in a very very long time. I spent a shit load of money, I am broke and owe my father money now but it was worth every single cent!!!! Jared?s personality was the best part about him and he has really given me a new appreciation for Jared himself and even Sammy. This does not however change the fact that I am and always will be a DEAN!GIRL but Jared won me over for the weekend that?s for sure. Now he just needs to bring Jensen back to Australia, preferably Melbourne because the only drag about this whole weekend was being in Sydney. If I never have to drive in that city again I will be happy lol I want that convention in Australia and I want all four J?s to be there. Jensen, Jared, Jeffrey and Jim heheheheh
Back to work tomorrow ? *sigh* what a weekend!

I just had the most awesome night!! Let me just say straight off that Christopher Judge is the best guy!!
I?ve been waiting and waiting for this night to come and it finally did. Finally meeting one of the actors from one of my most obsessed over TV shows ever and it was worth every cent!
I went along to the event with my brother, Matthew and my mother. I got off work early so I could make sure that we would leave with plenty of time to spare but then we ended up leaving a little later than we planned anyway. It always happens that way.
I spent most of the drive into the city central repeating to my passengers that we were going to be late and them trying to tell me how to drive ?. Interesting for all I?m sure lol. Half way there Matt insisted that I put in his Bon Jovi CD so we had that blaring ? its sort of a good mood setter hehe
We got there and found a parking lot that looked like it was going to cost me a fortune but I really didn?t care as long as we were parked close and I could spend the evening not worrying about my car.
Arriving at the Telstra Conference Centre, which was where the convention was being held, we waited in line. I was stressing about the tickets since I had to pick them up at the front desk lol but then we saw Chris show up and OMG even from a distance seeing someone you?ve been watching on TV for so long is so freaking surreal.
As per typical Chris, he had a permanent smile plastered on his face. The VIP people got to have a more personal meet and greet (I am so doing that next time)
Once we finally got into the room they had a few tables of merchandise set up and I so realised that I was going to go home with no money. I bought a few things ? a photo op included and we settled into the conference room.
Gary Graham who plays Ambassador Soval on Star Trek: Enterprise, he was also in that show ?Alien Nation.?, he came on to start us off and I have to say it was a slow start but people started asking questions and the ball was rolling. It was all really interesting. He was a funny guy!
After Gary?s set it was time for the photo ops. While groups of people were sent out to have photo ops with both Chris and Gary, Scott (organiser) ran an auction. Some of the stuff I would have loved to buy but there was one in particular that made me laugh. It was a photo of Joe Flanigan (for those reading this who don?t know ? Lt. Col. John Sheppard in Atlantis) The story behind the photo was that at the Armageddon Convention last year in Melbourne when Joe was signing autographs he started doodling on spare photos that he let the guys keep afterwards. On this particular photo he had written ?Whose O?Neill?? lmao. If you?re not a Stargate fan you obviously wont get that joke but god it was funny and you should have seen the bidding go off for that photo since it was so freaking rare lmao
Mine and Matt?s row were called up for our photos so we left the room and headed to where they were taking the photos. They were doing it in a lowered area. While Matt was waiting down there for his I was on top of the couple of steps when Chris decided he needed to go to the toilet. So up he runs, right past me laughing and joking as he went (something that you always see him doing off screen. The guy doesn?t stop laughing or smiling hehe)
I walked down to wait where my brother had been while Matt stood in front of the backdrop waiting for Chris to come back from the toilet. Once Chris got back he came right over to Matt and shook his hand and hugged him and called him ?brother? lol. Matt had the biggest smile on his face which I kinda did too because the man has played his favourite character for years and years and years lol so he was stoked.
Then came my turn for a photo. I will admit that I was walking up to the guy all nervous but thinking OMG I?m this excited and nervous at meeting Chris, how will I be if the boys ever do manage to get their butts out of here? Coz I will so not be missing that!!!
Anyways so standing next to Teal?c was kinda weird ... but a good weird. Chris is so much different to Teal?c. I mean anyone who knows Stargate enough knows this but meeting him really makes that fact stand out. He called me darlin? which had me mentally going aww lol and that?s pretty much most I remember of that lmao ohh that and the fact that I knew my fringe was in my eyes but ohh well.
Inside the conference room the auction was winding down to the last pieces. The very last piece were Gary?s Vulcan Ears. The starting price was $300. The bidding went for a while and ended up at around about $600 after Chris came in yelling jokingly at them to hurry up.
So eventually Chris came on and it was so funny because you could so tell that he had been drinking lol He has a habit of swearing and started to try and work out how many kids were in the audience. He came around near us and in the crowd asking people how old they were and joking around. It was so great.
Back on stage he started rambling and asking questions. This guy can talk and talk and talk and about shit for the most part too. I keep seeing similarities between Jared and Chris. They both eat and eat and talk a lot of crap lmao
One woman told him that she had a question from her daughter to which he told her to let her daughter ask it and when he found out that the daughter (who was 16) was at home he told the woman to call her up ? she got on stage and called her daughter and then Chris got on the phone and used the microphone and spoke into it saying ?Hello, this is God!? Everyone was losing it with laughter. He then proceeded to tell her girl that he was Daniel Jackson lol she hung up on him and he couldn?t believe that she had hung up on God AND Daniel Jackson lmao
He was asked what his favourite swear word was which he informed us it was ?mother fucker?
I?m sure I?m forgetting a lot of things here but as you know things like this tend to go pretty fast. One thing I do know that it was as good as any comedy thing I have been too. I had a headache on the drive home from laughing so much.
At one point he had to go to the toilet again lmao ? naturally with the way he was drinking lol but he took his microphone into the bathroom with him because he still wanted to answer our questions lol and then he worried about whether we had heard him pissing lol
He started a few rounds of the ?Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi ,oi? chant which he joined in vigorously.
He told us of how ?Kel-No Reem? came about when he had been caught sleeping during a scene. He got called into the office and on the spot he made up the excuse that Teal?c meditates to commune with his symbiote. They bought it and that was the start of Teal?s Kel-no-reeming.
He tried to tell us the ?True? story behind the puff ?n? ruffle story that Amanda Tapping and Teryl Rothery tell people all the time. Which had us all laughing like ?yeah okay, Chris.?
He told us of the time he had thought he had gone deaf. Richard Dean Anderson had been firing one of the big guns right next to him and he had woken up the next day not being able to hear a thing. He was really upset about it, worrying about never hearing his kids again and stuff. He told the make up lady about it, getting all emotional about it with her and she took a look at his ears and after using a blow-dryer on his ear she found that he had packed the ear plugs so tightly in his ear that when he pulled them out the day before only half came out ? hence why he couldn?t hear anything lol
He told us that two weeks ago he went to jail. He was at this hotel with his kids and this guy was being a smartarse to him. The bartender came and told him to leave even though Chris hadn?t done anything wrong so after the bartender had gone around and spoken to all the other patrons and realised that Chris?s story was true he gave him a free drink but told him that he had already called the cops. The cops basically told him to go to his room (at the motel) or go to jail (even though he hadn?t done anything wrong) so on principle he told them to take him to jail because he wasn?t being sent to his hotel room when he hadn?t done anything wrong. He wanted to show his kids to always stand up for yourself.
He then told us of the story of the farting contest between him and Richard Dean Anderson, A farting contest that went to the extent of actually changing their diet to fart more and causing people to vacate the set, needing big fans to blow the farts away. Eventually they got a memo telling them to stop with the farts lmao
He ended the show with Scott giving him a tube of vegemite to which he had told us that he still hadn?t tried. So of course we all shouted that he had try it. He was wary coz he had heard it tasted awful but eventually he got game and probably had a little more than he should have and I found it even funnier coz the taste didn?t hit him at first. It took a few moments and then he reacted ... I don?t think he?ll be having that any time soon, not that I can blame him ? most Aussie?s might love the stuff but I?m with Jensen ? it tastes like crap!
Gary came back and they got someone up who was having a b?day and we all sang happy birthday as the guys had their arms over the guy?s shoulders.
It was pretty cool and I?m just so thrilled that he turned out to be so great. You could really tell that he wanted to get everyone involved with what was happening, evening phoning people up lol He was soooooooo good. I definitely think it was worth every cent! Of course at the end of the evening he was a little more than tipsy and proclaiming that whenever Scott asked him back he would be there coz he wants to come back ? it was cute lol
The guys went out probably for a drink and a cigarette and Matt and I stayed and watched a little bit of the episode they were showing ? The time loop episode: Window Of Opportunity - and then went to get our photos. Everyone was lined up waiting for the guys to come back for autographs and we walked right on past them down the two steps and waited for the guy to find our photos ? as we were waiting Chris and Gary came back so we were pretty much in a room alone with them and they both looked pretty tanked lol but it wasn?t a bad tanked like OMG their supposed to be greeting fans and now they are drunk ? it was actually kinda funny and cute ? mind you they hadn?t had much sleep at all so drink on top of no sleep ? gotta give it to them ;) They had almost been through a whole bottle of Johnny Walker between them ? we saw the bottle on the ground near a wall with some glasses in the small room where we were waiting to pick up our photos lol
I was checking out the t-shirts before we left and I was flipping through calmly until I cam across those beautiful, sexy, Winchester boys ? I was so stoked to find a couple of different Supernatural T-Shirts there hehe I didn?t but them coz I have them already but I got excited just seeing them to which Matt rolled his eyes at me lol
I have to say that tonight was one of the best nights I have had in a long time. He was totally awesome funny and just a genuinely nice guy. It was definitely an awesome experience that I will not forget for a long time ?. Now I just need Jensen and Jared to come here and I will be in heaven.
