Oh my god IS IT THURSDAY YET?

Thinking about 2x20 and the Director's Cuts, a possibility for the ep popped into my head...
How awesome would it be if Dean called alterna!Sam "Sammy," and Sam looked at him like he was insane and said "Dean, you haven't called me that since I was ten." I think it would be AWESOME. A wee bit heartbreaking, but awesome nonetheless. Because it would show how close OUR Dean and Sam are, how Sam tolerates (hell, WELCOMES) such a personal name from ONLY Dean. Whereas in alternaworld, they would have drifted apart and not kept such open affection between them. ALSkfjsdlfkj. Thursday YET?

I am mildly panicked about orgo. And stat. And about getting packed in time to leave Saturday. OH GOD.

*flails around*

Oh, I agree completely. Two whole seasons and the only real hetships have been Elizabeth/Simon (<<<<<<< Deacon) and John/random space chicks. And then Rodney's date with...Katie, is it? That little romantic drama is remarkable for a tv show. Really the only difference between het UST and slash UST is that I don't have slash goggles, so I pick up on a lot more of the het moments than the slash moments. *shrug* The other amazing thing is that I don't hate any of the hetships. There's John/Elizabeth, John/Teyla, Ronon/Teyla...well really Ronon/ANYONE, but still. They all have such wonderfully intimate relationships even without sex, which apparently tv producers don't believe is possible, judging from what we see everywhere else. (Except SPN, of course. *sigh* theirloveissounfitfornetworktelevision)

It is pretty damn remarkable! Slightly unrealistic, because they've kind of made their home here and, you know, people are people, but I am definitely not complaining! They know exactly how fans feel about that sort of thing (they talk about it in one of the commentaries! Joe goes "So that's what they mean by shipping?" and I DIE of laughter) in that we love to take what WE like from canon and then make our own stories about those relationships. They keep the show itself about the plot and the friendships, but the romance they leave up to us. Which is GREAT, since their twosome with the most chemistry is... not exactly something that they would make canon (UNFORTUNATELY).

And you don't have slash goggles? Really? Huh. Well, it's hard to miss the McShep in any case, right? They're a wee bit obvious *g* And just wait until third season! Hooboy.

That's definitely one of the reasons I LOVE this show so much :)

Well, John and Elizabeth have those pesky fraternization rules, but I refuse to believe that Ronon and Teyla haven't had sex, or aren't heading for sex in the near future. The best part is that they're all so close already that sex might not change things all that much.

I NEED that commentary. OMG. I'm the kind of sick person that loves watching things with commentary (last time I had the flu it was the extended Lord of the Rings with cast commentary for twelve hours.), and this show seems like it would have awesome ones. I might actually have to rent the DVDs now instead of torrenting.

Well, not having slash goggles doesn't mean I don't see slash at all. The McShep jumps out at me once in a while in a big way (like that moment in The Long Goodbye, among others) but the show isn't necessarily about their Big Gay Love to me. Sometimes I just need to get whacked over the head with the subtext for it to sink in. Which is why SPN is so awesome, since that's EXACTLY what it does.

*can't wait to watch season 3 OMG*

Commentaries are so much fun! There are several with David and Joe together, particularly in season 2, and I ADORE them. The one I was talking about is Siege Part III, the S2 premiere, so yes! You should totally rent the DVDs. There are some FABULOUS extra features too. Especially on the S1 DVDs - there are these things called Mission Directives for specific episodes, and more often than not it's just the cast and crew goofing off! They're so SILLY, it's fabulous. My favorite person beside the cast is Martin Gero, one of the main writers, who does a lot a lot of the commentaries too, and he's HILARIOUS ♥

Hee! I definitely watched the extended LotR (though without commentary) for 12 hours straight with my friends. GOOD TIMES.

Well, like I keep saying, you just wait for the third season. They're MARRIED, seriously. It's gonna whack you over the head in a big way *g* (I hope!)

Awesome! I'm totally going to have to watch all of those. I may or may not have to rip the commentary audio tracks to my computer. :D The extras sound fabulous. There's one more thing for me to look forward to this summer along with S3. I fully expect to be smacked upside the head with McShep goodness, since I doubt you're making it up for fun. :P Married, you say?

(My favorite part about the LotR commentaries is the way the cast points out all of Peter Jackson's cameos. "Wait for it, wait for it...there he is! And there I get to shoot him right between the eyes!" ♥)

P.S. I am heartily enjoying all your SGA icons.

I actually have a few of the commentary audio files on my computer if you want me to send them to you - they obviously make more sense if you're watching the episode at the same time, but it would save you the trouble of ripping some of them! They are so much fun to listen to :D

MARRIED. *bites knuckles* I didn't believe it til I saw it either, but OMG. :D

(LMAO. That is quite hilarious. They are all so very funny. I loved the story about the Tig game :D)

Hee! I'm enjoying using all my SGA icons! This is the first fandom besides Supernatural that I've uploaded a large number of icons for in a long time. I just love these boys (and girls) so much! ♥
