Supernatural Season 5
Saw the trailer, finally, gacked the Jen Titus remix of "O Death" from fanmix, and...now I'm excited. I realize this makes me a bad lady, or whatever, but I really don't much care; Supernatural has slowly become one of my most enduring pleasures, unseating Lost last season--they conflicted, and I didn't even try to work out a way to keep up with both of them. And yes, certainly, part of the appeal is manflesh--both Ackles and Padalecki are extremely attractive to me, with Padalecki taking a tad of a lead (I think it's the height). But I'm also just a sucker for Apocalyptica, particularly the kind which comes with Christian iconography attached. Call it Prophecy syndrome.
Naturally, though, it gets me thinking about the Cornish sisters again. Because, in the interim, I've really come to realize that the Cornishes are not the Winchesters with boobs, let alone Scofield/Burroughs redux. The biggest difference is that Dionne and Samaire weren't actually brought up together--they were taken into care and separated at an early enough age that while they can remember/recognize each other, they had to bond as adults, not children. And Jeptha having murdered Moriam puts a completely different slant on their interaction, anyhow...so much so that I absolutely know when Dionne showed up on Samaire's door, the first thing Sami must have said was: "Are you here to kill me?"
So, yeah: Blood means a lot, but half Sami's blood isn't Dionne's, and vice versa; half Di's blood belongs to the man who killed their mother, making her literally Jeptha's daughter, his willing sacrifice to an angry God. And half of Sami's blood is shared by things like Allfair Chatwin--she's kin to witchery and demonism from birth, not by contagion. Nothing will ever change it.
Well, that, and the whole chick thing. I think I'm still pretty safe, in terms of copyright infringement.;)

I never used to write female characters and now it seems every story I have has an all-female cast. Although that's not a bad thing, it makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to write anything like a believable boy/girl romance.
