FUCK.YOU.JENSEN.ACKLES. (I just came here because on the eve of our last run, I was missing the SPN family something fierce and I thought, which better place to go but your journal) I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, HOLY CANOLI BATMAN, HOLD ON, MY PANTIES ARE ON FIRE.
I've incidentally just started watching The Boys (because another author recommended it, I didn't even know Kripke was in on it until like two post credits in). And I loved the first series, because it was such a different, gritty, intelligent, subversive take on the superhero culture and the thought project of what it might mean to WORK as a superhero in the real world with real world consequences. I loathe the second season because they apparently thought it would be a good idea to take everything out that made the first one great and replace it with some mindless, gratuitous Micheal Bay shit that lit my hair on fire. (I'm also getting freaking annoyed with the fridged wifes - looking at you Walker, Texas Ranger - even with a twist. Is there nothing under the sun that we could employ for tragic backstory?) But this news will probably carry me through to at least starting the third season when it comes out, because the ACKLES is just too strong, and I can't miss him getting his Cap on. Especially with the beard. Keep the beard for all that is holy, please and thank you.
Now, last night when I actually wrote this comment, LJ decided to eat it unrecoverably and I didn't have the energy to rewrite all my thoughts, but I just hope we can count on your recaps to carry us through the last run and I'll have somewhere to cough my considerable feels all over BECAUSE OUR SHOW IS ENDING AND IT'S GOOD BUT ALSO UNBEARABLE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL. And you help with that always. So I hope you feel up to it and I'll be here again soon. Cheers!
