I'm kind of a terrible person.
May. 12th, 2009 09:02 pmI know I've been spamming the universe - over three weeks since I got this thing, and I'm pretty sure I've posted at least once every single day - but I just can't help it. Journaling is peculiarly addictive.
Today was Dark Angel Day on SciFi. I absolutely love the mood of Dark Angel, I am a sucker for urban post-apocalyptic settings, but typing the words "Dark Angel" kind of makes me want to cringe. I never saw it during its first airing; as I recall, I was deeply bored on a day rather like today, and turned to SciFi because I didn't really have anything else to do. Some of the first episodes I saw were the ones with Joshua and Annie - I was only vaguely following along, doing something else and watching at the same time, and then got absolutely sucker-punched by ( - it's old, but just in case. ) I find it more of a mixed bag than Joan of Arcadia, generally speaking - a title like "Dark Angel" + cat DNA + a dark and angsty childhood full of government experimentation = mild-to-moderate canon Sue fodder - but now I tune in on purpose when I see it on SciFi.
Which meant that I got to watch tiny Jensen Ackles cry a couple single tears and clench his jaw in a manly fashion a lot, because today's run included the Alec Is Actually Sad Inside episode. (Possibly there are a couple of these, I don't know.) Parts of it had Alec acting very Dean-ish - the kind of heartbreaking repetition of "I'm always all right", especially - which kind of messed with my head a little. I was half-expecting Sam to show up at some point, looking awkward but trying determinedly to get him to talk about his feelings.
I also spent part of today rereading a Harry Dresden-Supernatural crossover fic that I started quite a while ago for my sister; it was back when Dean had sold his soul, but before he'd gone to hell, when I had not seen any episodes of Supernatural but had been devouring fic. I've worked on it intermittently since, and it's kind of amusing to go back to - it's very clear that I started working in an S1/S2 timeframe, just by the way Dean and Sam interact with each other. I've still only seen parts of S1 and S2, and a little of the beginning of S4, but I've read a lot of reaction posts; I know how much the vibe has changed.
Anyway, I have to wake up early to feed the pets tomorrow, so. Toodles, internet.
