Cute, angst-free, instilling in me an interest in Dean/Rusty Ryan fic involving food and poker, and good use of McG.

I did *not* like the Gilmore Girls line. I don't want either (a) a world where someone else plays Dean Forester or (b) a world where both Sam and Jared exist, because those ideas both hurt my brain.

Loved the rest of the meta, though, especially the bitching about the weather in Canada and the not-smallville-but-rather-lois-and-clark line as they got off the tram. Glad there was a mention of Rose Madison, and I loved Dean's depth of movie knowledge combined with his major gaps when it comes to internet things, and Sam's complete gaps re films. How has he never seen Poltergeist? Did John restrict their tv viewing that much?

Very nervous about next week's ep, though. One of my squicks in reading SPN fic is anything where they're locked up - I've never read it and never will - and I know from the preview that there's a deliberate decision in the next ep to *get* imprisoned, but I'm still wibbly about it. And I'm avoiding all spoilers other than that one "next time..." bit.

I hate fics with the boys in prison, I avoid them like the plague.

{chuckle} I spent some time in HBO's Oz fandom and it's all prison boys (and gratuitous male nudity - heh, 90210's Luke Perry even did full frontal nudity while carrying a Bible), so I don't mind prison fics. However, with Supernatural, the Winchesters' existence has been *very* nomadic and that's why I wouldn't be a fan of seeing them locked up. Actually, this upcoming episode is one of the few I was spoiled on... Gah, must've been weeks ago because I haven't had as much time for reading LJ as of late (taxes and eight corporations = not fun). I'm *tired* and can't wait to crash in bed this weekend. I wasn't sure if I'd stay awake for Supernatural but I did manage and Hollywood Babylon was fun in a different way from Tall Tales. However, I think Hollywood Babylon didn't work out as well because it wasn't as focused on the Winchester brothers.

Actually, the episode reminded me of No Exit because I kept thinking 'where's Sam'? He was back to being 'errand boy'. Still, I enjoyed Hollywood Babylon because of the various 'inside jokes', and while the episode meant to parody, the nature of parodies is because they have a basis in truth, so it's like getting a peek into what goes on behind the cameras.
