No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It felt like the whimsy of Wonderfalls without the compensating factor of Tim.

Which? It pretty much was. I love Lee Pace *so* much, and the rest of the cast was strong. The production design was engrossing, captivating.

But the actual plots, the emotional arcs I was supposed to get caught up in?

Left me utterly cold.

For the record, I should cop to not liking Dead Like Me much either. As much as I encouraged Colin to go for the Munster role, it wasn't...okay, fine, it's never... all about me.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ugh, could not get into DLM. Left me cold. But I was captivated by the unbearable sweetness of PD. Which is also why I think that a SPN/PD crossover would work. A little rock salt for all that sugar.

I can't see them meshing at all, really, for that reason. It's like the kitten-rescuing curtain fics where Cas frowns at Dean until he teetotals, and Sam becomes a well-respected lecturer at the local law school.

Basically--either the Ugly Sweater!Verse, or the mute!Cas verse.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I would love to see a SPN crossover with Wonderfalls. I think the tone could mesh with SPN's goofier side. Also, Dean vs. Jaye would be epic.

Because books.

For a minute, I thought you said JaYne, and I realized the Firefly crossovers are probably there for a reason. I would totally watch/read that, and Wonderfalls, too.

God, Jaye's skepticism blow off the top of her head, despite her talking brass monkey.

Wonderfalls had, I felt, potential edge. The world wasn't on the line, or anything, but still.

The snark was fantastic. And Jaye had that cynicism going, too.

I still keep coming up with shows I would have loved to see on Changing Channels -- something animated, like The Simpsons, and even something like a PBS round table show. Which probably only I would have found funny, but I can just see Dean scowling at Charlie Rose.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And Sam engaging in earnest discourse. Indeed.

I don't know anything about PBS, but I will never not think Dean+Oprah=comedy gold.

I am trying, in another window, to write down everything I ship. It's clear that if there is such a thing as a "shipper", I'm clearly one of them. Big ol' shipper ho. Someone asked who I shipped, and I'm so disappointed with the list of about 15 couples I tossed off, because it looks like I don't care about Captain Jack/Ianto, and that's clearly untrue...fuck--I didn't even remember Sam/Brady.

I'd have to think about who I ship. I only do it with some shows. Bobby/Sheriff Mills was a favorite sort of secondary one for SPN. But I also draw a line between who I think would have hot sex and who's in lurvvvve, in my head. (For example: Sam/Brady? Hot sex, maybe once or twice. Dean/Cas? Lurvvvve.) Meaning that I don't really consider it ship unless it's the latter. For me, anyway.
