A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket

++ Sendhil Ramamurthy should do comedies more often. After Friday's Psych and his video blog piece promoting a movie he doesn't appear in, it's so obvious that he should just do something in the comedy-line of work. Perhaps he should go on How I Met Your Mother or something similar to that. Maybe he and Zachary Quinto and Nathan Fillion and Misha Collins should get together and do something hilarious . How awesome would that be?!

++ Saw Eliza Dushku's movie Open Graves last night when it aired on SciFi, and hoo-boy was it horrible. So very, very horribly bad. The only decent thing about it was Eliza, of course, otherwise I swear I could have had a better time watching paint dry. It makes Soul Survivors and Wrong Turn look like masterpieces, I am so not joking. It was that bad. But I had to watch it because it had Eliza. Oh bb, the things I do for you.

But all wasn't lost, because I saw a very short Caprica teaser for the series. \o/

++ Like most I watched the SPN 5.03 spoiler clip and quite frankly, I loved it. I know there are some Dean/Castiel fans that are uncertain how to take what happened in this clip, but I've determined a few things after rewatching it:

01. Dean is going to make sure that Castiel doesn't die, I'm certain of this. Even if his attitude seemed more or less the "oh you'll die by tomorrow, sucks dude" that's just the Dean Winchester front. Of course we don't know anything in context of what is happening so maybe he had this freakout prior or whatever. But if there's anything Dean does, is not let his angel get threatened to be killed. Not after all what Castiel has done for him, this would be the perfect episode for Dean to see how precious and valuable Castiel is to him.

02. I view Castiel's reaction to the talking about sex more of an embarrassment on his behalf that they're having this conversation than embarrassed that he never had sex before. He's becoming more and more human with his emotional reactions that his awkward looks and fidgeting may indicate that he just does not feel comfortable talking about something like that with Dean. His "I never had the occasion" comment I think was more focused on the fact that being an angel he couldn't do so.

03. Besides which, aside from the blatant slashy innuendo ("special oil"? "Bert and Ernie are gay?" Castiel following Dean?) I highly doubt anything will happen unless it is Dean that deflowers Castiel. I view this episode as something like The Bro Episode between them, establishing that they are teaming up as equals and confidants instead of just mere man and angel having business transactions. Dean attempting to pimp Castiel out will not end in him losing his innocence and purity. Lord, I hope not, because we DO NOT want a repeat of the lame sex shit like last season. No, we do not. No, this episode is more about the growing bond between Dean and Castiel and this is just Dean's way of doing what he does best. But it will backfire because really, what doesn't?

And that's that. I understand the worries a bit, but again the SUBTEXT between them is all that we need. And this episode will have tons of Dean/Castiel scenes just for that. Which I cannot wait for.

Besides, I think there's fanfic of this scene, and more than one. I've read several that had the exact same concept with Dean and Castiel. Oh Kripke, you sneaky bastard, you've been trolling fandom!


++ I've been meaning to do a recommendations post, which I may write up later. But here is something I have to rec out today, because it's simply fantastic:

For those who love Draco Malfoy, you'll enjoy this fanmade video which illustrates perfectly the conflicts and turmoil he suffers through HBP. The way it was edited with the music, the scenes, the voiceovers, it's really very excellent. I found this just the other day and fell in love. It does an nice job with placing the mood for my poor Draco and what he goes through. ♥

I think even I forget that Dean is a dick, it's his coping mechanism and I get it but damn it even get's me sometimes. Which is why I edited my latest LJ post because I keep on forgetting. Dean can be sweet but when he's really freaked out, he's not very nice.

I just don't want any of the women at the brothel demeaned in anyway for jokes, that is my main concern. No way they will have Castiel sleeping with some down on her luck young woman who happens to be a prostitute, I mean he can read minds he knows what he would be doing is wrong. Hell, we don't even see Dean frequenting whorehouses, he usually picks up willing women who find him hot. I guess Dean would bring Cas to a brothel because as handsome as Castiel is in his vessel, he couldn't pick up a chick if he tried.

The show has done a lot to mend their past errors in regards to women and minorities with the last two epsi.e not immediately killing them off or having them as love interests, more than any show ever has in a good while IMO and I hate for them to ruin that for cheap laughs.

Yeah, it's one of Dean's flaws at times. He can sometimes be a dick without really thinking about it, and it's that flawed part of his character, but that's what makes Dean, well, Dean.

I definitely agree about the whole brothel thing. Dean is known for hooking up with random girls for a quickie and then moving on, but there's no way Castiel is going to do the same. Very doubtful he will. As mentioned, this is more of the budding relationship between them, nothing more. It'll be hilarious because this is what I've been wanting more of, Dean and Castiel teaming together on hunts, and this seems like something Dean would be doing if he had other friends or buddies besides his own brother. So to me, it signifies to closer relationship they're having now, which I like.

Agreed, on so many levels. I was actually impressed that two episodes in there wasn't any killing of women or minorities. I hope they keep this up.
