Born under a hot sign (a Supernatural post)

Frigging hot, I'm telling you. Last Thursday's episode of Supernatural, Born Under A Bad Sign, may be in the running for one of the best yet. Please forgive me, Dean, for saying that your brother Sam was frigging ace in that episode. You are still my leader, Dean, but how hot was dear Sammy in that one. I think I must be a sicko for finding evil Sam so bloody amazing but he does play evil wonderfully well. My two favourite moments are that deep, howling laugh he let rip towards the end of the episode and when he taunted Jo and said in a sing-song voice,"My daddy shot your daddy in the head." Fucking brilliant.



Although there are a few things I am unhappy about, two of which I specifically mention in a previous post. The first is poor Dean being tortured again! Poor boy, give him a break. He keeps having his pretty face bashed in, this time by his demon-possessed brother. Now, that Sam is a big strapping lad and it pained me greatly to see him repeatedly hitting Dean. To top it all off, he goes and emotionally tortures Dean by bringing up all Dean's insecurities and calling him worthless. Fie!

The second issue I have is the fact that the fans hate Jo so much that Eric Kripke (the creator of Supernatural) has bowed down to pressure and written her out as Dean's possible love interest and specifically mentioned in this episode that Dean thinks of her as a little sister. Personally I think the fans (mainly girls) hate her so much because they feel threatened by her and actually really think that Jo suits Dean to a tee. Girls don't like the competition, see. Now, I know I said previously that this series don't work with the brothers having love interests but if Dean gets it on with Jo, I wouldn't mind too badly because one: I think Dean deserves a little happiness in his life, two: I think Jo kicks twenty kinds of ass, and three: I'm not so deluded that I think I can have Dean for myself. Though there are some days that my imagination runs that way.........

Anyway, where was I? This episode was great but I think the writers should pull their thumbs out of their asses and get cracking on some big episodes soon. All these self-contained episodes where the boys are in mainly isolated situations are fine but I think it's time to crank up the excitement factor and start doing some major arc storylines here. Self-contained episodes were fine in Season 1 but the writers have to up the game in Season 2 and keep the fans hanging in there with more development on the Yellow-Eyed Demon plot and the fact that the police are on their tail. They have already set up a few threads regarding this, plus now the brothers may have the other hunters after them too.

There is another thing that is bothering me. Does Jensen Ackles have a no unnecessary nudity clause in his contract? In this episode he gets soaked in a river and gets shot in the shoulder. In any other TV series, this signals the oppurtunity for the guy to get his shirt off. But no, all Dean gets is a liitle bit of the arm of his t-shirt taken off while he keep the rest of it on. Dear me, how disappointing. Certainly, if it was a woman, they'd have her stripped down to her undies by now. However, I guess they're trying to keep the tone of the series dark and having a hot guy take his shirt off isn't exactly in keeping with the series' dark and sombre mood. Damn that to hell. Much as I admire the writers for not letting the series descend into traditional Hollywood cheese fest, I am still bitterly disappointed at this missed oppurtunity. I shall just have to content myself with Dean's mega bicep instead.



In Born Under A Bad Sign, Dean was hot as usual but little Sam has upgraded himself from cute to hot. Of course, he might fall back to just cute in next week's episode but for now he is offically hot. I've decided that Dean shall also be known as 'The Face' while Sam shall be 'The Body'. Two frigging hot brothers. We are not worthy.

Maybe Jensen's a Mormon

That hasn't stopped any Mormons before!!

Nah, I think his childhood modelling days have put him off stripping.

Also, I seriously doubt that you do any work over there. I've barely put this post up and you've put up a comment already.

Another S.E.X.Y.F.A.T. announcement

As a member of S.E.X.Y.F.A.T. (Society for the EXploitation of Yummy men in Film And Television) I feel obliged to do a run-down of top hunks that graced our (okay, my consciousness) in 2006. For the original S.E.X.Y.F.A.T. manifesto, please see Maryam's Guide To Everything Part 1. And no, I can't be bothered to review anything else in 2006 or make any resolutions because a) it's boring b) yeah, right, as if I'll change my ways c) this was way more fun My Top 3 Jensen Ackles (Jensen, you know it's me you want, not Maryam!) Jared Padalecki (Oh, alright, I'll have you instead) Jim Caviezel (aaaah, my blue-eyed Jim, why so sad? Is it because you are No.3?) Special Mention Guy Berryman (you are still yummy) Brandon Flowers (but only circa 2003 when he was sans eyeliner, mustache and gelled flattened hair) Paolo Nutini ( a bit too young for me but lovely all the same) Johnny Depp (the long time favourite, still going strong. You still float my boat Johnnayy! ...

May 2007's list

Books 1. I Am Muslim - DINA ZAMAN . No, don't go running off at the title because Dina Zaman's latest isn't going to preach/proselytise/ to you or urge you to leave your 'sinning ways' and repent. As Dina herself said, this isn't a book about religion, it's about a person who happens to be a Muslim trying to make sense and find her way amidst perilous Kuala Lumpur life. Sometimes, she's not even writing from a Muslim point of view (whatever that is) but from a thirty-something newly single woman just experiencing life and poking fun at it. It's rather a relief to me, that even someone like Dina, whose column Dina's Dalca I used to read as a teenager in the New Straits Times, is still searching and is still trying to find some semblance of order and meaning in today's world. Dina's humour is never nasty, nor despairing and the warmth of her anecdotes of the people she meets, no matter how bizarre, demonstrates her willingness to learn an...

The pimping of Supernatural

Sometimes I feel like I should obsess over something a bit more respectable, like reading my textbooks for instance, or jogging or raising funds for orphan kids. Alas, such respectability is beyond me now for my body houses a shallow mind, so I get excited over TV shows and an actor. (A hot actor, mind you). But then again, why is it not valid to enormously appreciate such things? The amount of work that goes into producing a good television series is surely nothing to sniff at, while acting convincingly is not as easy as it seems. Just look at the number of bad actors there are out there. Of course, obsessing over things is made easier nowadays with more young people with disposable incomes, the internet providing us with endless facts and figures about our latest obsession, as well as connecting us with fellow obsessees all over the world. Knowing people with similar interests validates your obsession and makes you feel less guilty over it. Plus having somebody scream in a girly-mann...
