currently re-watching Mystery Spot and like I sometimes forget (bc I like to re-watch the show by just picking episodes I like, meaning I don’t re-watch in episode order) that this episode happens during the season where Dean’s going to die, only a year left and like how worse that makes this entire episode. Sam is watching Dean die 100+ times and anything he does to try and save him isn’t working, but add onto the fact that Dean’s dying earlier than his “due date” so to say. And! some of these deaths are lowkey something traumatic to just have happen in front of you, like ik they’re the Winchesters but like come on….anyone would have to take a second if they see someone get absolutely obliterated by a car right in front of them 😭 especially if it’s their loved ones… But also, honestly, this episode is like a mirror of/an allusion to the whole season. And of course it acknowledges that in said episode but still I think it’s something to be said. Like Dean’s going to die at the end of this season, no matter what Sam or Bobby or whoever tries to do to stop the deal from being fulfilled, nothing works. Dean still dies. In a way it can also be looked at in hindsight as applicable to the entire series, bc in the end death still comes. They don’t get to grow old together or just see further years together. Idk just some thoughts.

I love how like meep - for lack of better words - Sam is throughout the series. Like it’s so endearing that there’d be a big moment of something and then in the cool down from it Sam’s just standing in the background, when Dean or whoever else is doing something, with a silly little (sometimes) awkward look on his face just like “welp”. And it’s just so adorable. I feel we overlook these adorably awkward moments for some of the more obvious ‘little brother Sam’ moments. Anywho.

thinking about it, what I would have paid for to see like a supernatural x psych type episode. like with how supernatural did their ghostfacers episodes. like imagine Sam and Dean encountering Shawn and Gus and they’re like not sure how to actually deal with them. Because you know the second Shawn says “I’m a psychic detective” and then introduces Gus with an extremely out of pocket name, those boys aren’t going to know what to do with them. Idk I just think it would be absolutely hilarious and like you know for a fact that Sam and Dean would seem like the insane people to Shawn and Gus.

re-watching some of my favorite psych episodes in honor of the 20th anniversary…and I feel no one gives enough credit to how seriously and ridiculously they take their episodes where they recreate/reference iconic shows and such. like their ‘dual spires’ episode is one of my favorites for how like serious it seems at times and then they just pan over to gus and shawn just standing there. also the special theme song for the episode?! iconic beyond words. I know this probably isn’t a new thought but like I feel this episode really highlights how the show is as a whole like there’s serious and tender hearted moments and then you get slapped with the most out of pocket ridiculous thing. I just love it.

so like I never got further than like some of the first season (?) of Get Schooled (I stopped reading way before that chapter and it’s subsequent cancellation) but I really did like the kdrama adaptation of it - Teach You a Lesson - and it was interesting seeing how they choose to adapt it into the show format. Obviously spoilers, but they definitely did seem to like speed things up in the way of informing the audience of things that weren’t explicitly mentioned within the first chapters. I think an interesting thing for me might have been how we were immediately informed of both Hwa-jin and Gang-seok had relations to the teacher (Ga-Yun) who died two years prior to the establishment of the bureau and subsequently each other, past the obvious work relation and like this isn’t a major difference and ik it was probably down this way because it’s only 10 episodes but I was just surprised they didn’t reveal it maybe in the second or third episode. But it does make sense in a way with how in the forefront it is in the show. Again like I didn’t continue really any further with the webcomic just because I never got back to it/lost interest but I did really like the direction they took with the show, especially with giving the characters personality and they felt like there was more to them in this than in the comic. I really enjoyed the mix of comedic moments with the action and more serious moments of reflection on the modern education system - specifically Korea’s modern education system - and how there is a major issue with/an epidemic of extreme violence of students and teachers and how it leads to a fostering of an abusive environment for everyone involved. Overall I seriously enjoyed this series and for a webcomic that I had once found interesting it definitely touched upon an interesting way of addressing the violence within the South Korean education system.

ok so ik im so late to this and probably wrong about it but could it be assumed that x-files and law & order svu are in the same like present “universe” like canonically Munch is in three separate shows that all interconnect Baltimore Homicide, X-Files (S5 E3), and Law & Order: SVU. Like ik X-files did a ‘Cops’ episode but like I think that’s the most they did with placing X-files in a real world reality (by that I mean that it’s somewhat breaking the 4th wall in a way that places the show into a somewhat reality space where I’m some iteration this is reality). So with that like with Munch being specifically placed in this X-files episode does that then mean that the ‘reality’ that Law & Order: SVU is in is that same one that X-Files is in? Idk maybe I’m not making sense or maybe I’m just stupid lol.

shawn and gus starting an urban legend has to honestly be one of the more tame things they’ve done.

You don’t understand how much I love and fuck with when the lighting turns blue around dex. It’s something I so love about this season.

Morgan calling Adam “Adam”, reaching out and pulling him into a hug and tears out of just overall empathy for what Adam is feeling. And how Adam wipes her tears away with his thumb after….

I’m literally screaming!!!! Not only does Adam hold her shoulders when telling her he’s glad she’s alright, he’s also rubbing his thumb back and forth soothingly while he holds her!!!! AND she’s holding his wrists and rubbing her thumbs back in forth in a soothing manner as well!!!! Oh this is huge.

Awww the cookie scene is so adorable.
