raloria

So I'm trying to get a cap from 1x01 because herminekurotowa requested my favorite cap from that ep for the Just 'Cause posts. Now I have done a full episode capping of the Pilot, but not Highlight Capping, so that's what I did overnight. Then I overcapped and I'm stuck with over 1,700 Pilot caps. Oy! I might have a simple solution though, but that's nothing for you all to worry about. I digress...

It was fascinating seeing the boys way back in 2005, all fresh-faced and young! No weariness, no hunched-shoulders from so much loss and pain and the passing of the years.

You know how you watch certain episodes so many times you think you know them so well that you'll never make new discoveries? Wrong! This little tidbit struck me as amusing..

DEAN: I can't do this alone.
SAM: Yes you can.
DEAN: Yeah, well, I don't want to.

And barely a minute later we have this exchange:

SAM: Dad let you go on a hunting trip by yourself?
DEAN: I'm twenty-six, dude.

First, Dean admits he doesn't want to hunt alone and then he takes offense when Sam points out that their dad let him hunt alone. Dude! Make up your mind! LOL

And I couldn't help but post this image to Twitter...

I give you the most important paper clip in the history of television. #Supernatural #1x01 #SPNFamily pic.twitter.com/zVPSvMeoP9

If you think of it, this paper clip was vitally important. If Dean hadn't used that paper clip to undo the handcuffs and get out of the police department, Sam probably would have been killed by Constance Welch's spirit/ghost. No series!

So always have a paper clip handy. You never know...

While I was watching 11x12 I got to noticing the necklace Claire was wearing and thinking it looked familiar. Then last night I was Special Capping the first three episodes of Season 3 and sure enough, there it was...on Ruby!

And they think we won't notice these things! Ha!
It is a pretty necklace though. *g*

Since the whole rewatching of S5 reruns failed as an idea over at my LJ comm spn_westcoast, I thought I'd do something here on my own journal.

As I'm watching the reruns, I find myself noticing things I didn't with the original broadcasts. I don't have to pay so much attention to certain aspects because I know them and questions I never thought of before come to the forefront.

( Catching up with the first 3 episodes of S5... )

The Games are officially over now and while I'll miss them, I'll also enjoy having my life a little more back to normal. Phew! I don't usually watch that much TV day after day and night after night! :P

Since this is my last post on the Winter Games up in Vancouver BC, I'm taking the easy way out and using my Twitter posts instead. It's just easier. Note that I did indeed watch the Epic men's hockey game between the US and Canada. A little sad about the outcome, but the guys played a great game!

( Under the cut for those who don't wanna bother reading... )

More thinky thoughts, observations & opinions while watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.

♦ How do Luge athletes breathe when they put on that face-mask? It looks so close-fitting all the way around.

♦ Why does the Speed Skating starter guy have such a long, drawn out "Reeeeaaaady"? It's annoying.

♦ It sucks that NBC doesn't show any of the Curling competition. I like curling. *sigh*

♦ I still can't believe I'm in the same time zone as the Olympics and have to watch it on a friggin' tape delay! Uuummm....What????? This is so wrong!

♦ Watching the pairs Figure Skating competition, I was struck by the sameness between all the routines, especially in the Long Program. This is the result of the change in judging rules and I gotta say, I don't like it. There's no freedom for creativity anymore.

♦ Another observation on Figure Skating. It's weird to see skaters I grew up watching who are now coaches and choreographers. I must be getting old.

♦ So tired of seeing the same commercials during Olympics coverage....over and over and over.... And it's only day six. Ugh.


Okay, so this list was a little more ranty than the other one. *shrugs*

This is not to be confused with my First Impressions, which will be posted sometime over the weekend if all goes well. I just want to get some of my gut-reaction thoughts down.

( The boys back in action... )

While I was making my First Impressions post for this eppy, I got to taking a critical look at the final scene. I took a filmmaking view of it, 'cause I'm geeky that way ;), and determined how I think they filmed it. You gain a whole new level of appreciation of Jensen's acting skills when you realize how this was done.



( A shot-by-shot analysis w/caps... )

After capping 4x02 extensively yesterday, I made note of a few things. Think of this as a mini-SPN Revealed Lite. :)

::: At the beginning of the episode, when Bobby says that only an angel could have pulled him from hell, Dean guardedly puts his hand on his shoulder with the handprint. Nice little touch by Jensen.

::: When the brothers enter Bobby's panic room there's a cool POV shot. If you'll notice it's Dean's POV, since he's the one who enters first.

::: Sam goes to pick up pie & other goodies for Dean and meets up with Ruby. For all of Sam's "Dude, when have I ever forgotten the pie?", take a look at this cap as he approaches Ruby. There's a sign right in the window about Homemade Pies, which Sam is looking at! Yet when he returns to Bobby's place? No pie for Dean. :( ::: Also, when Sam stops to gas up the Impala? The numbers on the gas pump don't move. :P
