I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who voted in my little hiatus poll. The majority of votes fell on new Supernatural fanart, a comprehensive S6 meta and the Swan Song review, so that’s what I am going to prioritise once my reviews for Let It Bleed and The Man Who Knew Too Much are done. I will definitely try to write the outstanding S6 episode reviews as well, but they will take a backseat for now. Overall I’ll probably alternate between fanart and my various writing projects. Now a S6 rewatch is in order, so I can expand the notes I already have for my S6 meta. Stay tuned!
I hope you all have somewhat recovered from the finale by now. *g* Personally, I loved it. I mean, okay, I have a couple of quibbles, especially with Let It Bleed, which has been less engaging overall for me than The Man Who Knew Too Much, but overall I am satisfied with the resolutions presented in the finale episodes. I have to say that I adored all things Sam in particular, my Sam love knows no bounds at the moment. ♥ In any case, it’s a tad inconvenient that both episodes aired after another, because I feel that it is more difficult to write a review if I cannot focus on one episode alone. My thoughts jump from one episode to the other and it’s all a bit jumbled at the moment. I will try to get these reviews done as fast as possible though.
Now, once these reviews are done, I am faced with the rest of the hiatus and my list of fannish things to do is quite long. However, I have no clue where to start, so I thought I’d ask you all what you would prefer to see in this journal in the upcoming months. So, here is a little poll for you:

So, I am lame. I got caught up in real life and other distractions - and completely fell behind with my reviews in the process. The reviews for the last couple of episodes are in varying stages of completion though, and I definitely plan to finish them all during the hiatus and then post them in one go. On the bright side, you all will have something to read during the long, cold winter break. *g*
I will just say so much upfront: All Dogs Go To Heaven was an okay episode for me, I enjoyed the brotherly communication, but the monster-of-the-week plot didn't really engage me. Clap Your Hands If You Believe was funnier than it had any right to be; it's definitely one of the highlights of this season for me. Caged Heat, on the other hand, was my least favourite episode so far, even though I enjoyed some of the character scenes.
Thanks for your patience. I kinda say that a lot lately. *g*
I don’t really do LJ memes much, because usually I don’t have the time and/or patience for them. The other day though ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
sherrilina posted the 'The Road So Far' meme they had over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
ontd_spnparty and I kind of got all caught up in it. It's a list of questions about your favourite/least favourite things about each season of Supernatural and since I spent so much time with it, I thought I might as well post it.

I haven’t been feeling well these last two weeks, that’s why I didn’t manage to get out my review for Two Minutes to Midnight in time for the finale. It will all be a bit delayed, I am sorry for that. However, I just watched the S5 finale and am stunned and heartbroken and happy and speechless and disbelieving and delirious. And since it will take A LOT of time to process this episode properly, I thought I’d make a first episode reaction post, just to share my love for Show today. ♥
( Sammy, it’s okay. I’m here. I'm not going to leave you. )
Tonight SUPERNATURAL airs its 100th episode! ♥ Congratulations to Kripke & Co for reaching this milestone. Wow, who would have thought back when the show started that we’ll ever find ourselves here? Does anybody remember the nerve-wracking time we waited for the confirmation that our little show was one of the few selected shows that would be picked up by The CW when UPN and The WB merged? Or when we were out of our minds with worry about The Crash? Or the fear that paralysed us all when we didn’t know for ages if we would get a S3? Fun times!
So, I felt a little nostalgic today and thought I’d take a look back at how it all started, I mean, for me, personally. I’ve been committed to this show for four years now, and like with any show there have been ups and downs, obviously, but the brothers Winchester are still my favourite characters on TV – even if they changed considerably over the years – and I think they always will be. So, have a stroll down memory lane with me, if you like.
