So my fannish endeavors have taken a backseat (or may be traveling in a car several yards behind) to THE MOVE.

(Yes, in my brain it is always THE MOVE')

I have managed to catch a few new shows and view some episodes of older shows I missed and have discovered I accidently slip into another dimension every time I turn on the tv.  It is the only reasonable explanation.

Case in point - SPN.  The show I am watching cannot possibly be the show everyone else it writing and talking about.  Seriously, if I had seen it on network tv I wouldn't have made it past the pilot.  Dean (in the pilot) is a sleazy jerk.  He does get better as the season goes along and by episode 17 (I think that is where we are) I even like him a little.  But there are still things I do not get.

1) Er...Sam is not a giant.  I keep reading fics where he is this huge, towering thing and I don't get it.  Maybe all the guys in my family are just freakishly tall but Sam looks mostly normal to me.  And Dean is not tiny.  Jensen's bio has him at 6'1 which is the same height as my husband.  My husband never seems tiny. ;)

2) Uh...how to say this.  I have read the Wincest (before I ever saw the show)  I even recced a story once.  (it was a good story)  Having seen most of the first season I just don't get it.  Maybe my slash goggles are defective but I don't see the slash at all.

3) Scarecrow was kind of awesome but Something Wicked made me glad our windows won't stay up by themselves. ;)

Everyone is drooling over White Collar but I watched the first two and half episodes and was just 'meh' about them.  Same with some other new shows.  Even shows I like seem less interesting.  I love Alec, Elliot and Parker but the second season of Leverage was just not as good as the first.

Most disturbing is SG:U.  I have hated it from episode one and only watched it because my husband really wanted to see it.  The second half of the season started a few weeks ago and I told him this was the last episode I was sitting through.  So, of course, it was the first episode I found interesting.  I still don't like the characters and it is the only show where the thought of shipping - anyone- makes me kind of queasy.  Okay, I like Eli..a little.  And I like his new haircut. And I like Greer a little now that he isn't stuck being the 'scary angry black guy' from the Pilot.  both he and Eli have cute smiles. But I am still not sure I can watch a show where I don't like most of the characters.

I need icons.  Supernatural icons.  And maybe a Greer or Eli icon.  Maybe.
