SPEAKING OF MEDIA CONSUMPTION -- Has growing instant access to media fostered more media analysis? This Christmas Eve, treat your ears to some mild rambling and moderate ranting about the changing tides of media consumption. Somewhere in this hour plus of "discussion" we take a stab at binging, a blow to Cable TV and a swing at physical media. Every now and then we mention Supernatural... Enjoy!

SNAP, SNAP, SNAP -- Sally & Kira have some watching anxiety this week, complete with hugging pillows. After calming down we discuss why Micheal's vessel was so random, Misha & Alex getting to act, how angels experience time and certain music choices. All in all, Christmas + Mulder/ Scully vibes + learning Micheal's motivations = a great mid-season finale.

SOAP OPERA VIBES - Sally and Kira discuss bringing back Lily Sunder in "Byzantium" (14x09), the existential ramifications of a nephilim's death, and why that drinking montage felt so weird. We also look at how this episode reversed roles and debated who this season's villain might be in light of recent events.

This week we discussed "Unhuman Nature" (14x07), especially Nick's opening scene and what his story arc (so far) means for the show's evolving philosophy. The natural need to fit Buffy into our analysis pops up--oh and "ER" comparisons. We also touch on the concept of imbalance and this season's preoccupation with the dichotomy of inner demons versus 'actual' demons.

Our ACTUAL 30th episode... This week we (finally) talk about Sally's Fan Fiction Legend status and Kira (finally) pops her fanfic cherry. Our discussion takes many turns, from pitting Fan Fiction against Romance Novels to asking the question, "why do women have fan fiction, but guys get porn?" Also, we introduce a new recurring segment.

This week Sally & Kira discuss the nuance of season 14 in comparison to previous seasons and whether or not the series will have a pessimistic ending like “The Road.” Also, we take the opportunity to swoon over the effectiveness of dialogue and mise en scène in Episode Six.

This week we delved into what we liked and didn't like about season 14's 5th episode, and how uncertain this season feels in comparison to last. Also, Sally had a fan encounter that got us thinking about the nature of fan interactions - within and beyond the SPN Fandom.

Sometimes we do bad things, and sometimes characters actually communicate! This week we watched "Mint Condition" (14x04) and commented on the growing up of the Winchester brothers through the lens of Dean's return. Also, Netflix Canada doesn't have Supernatural anymore, and we're not happy about it.

The music swells, domesticity finds the bunker, and Jodie gets punched. Get ready to RAMBLE!!! And that's about as high energy as this one gets... Kira was (overall) disappointed with "The Scar" (14x03) because expectations are a thing, but Sally got some "Jam" at least, or is it Sodie?.

This week we discuss 14x02 and how the vessel of Lucifer has some commomality with his former inhabitant. We try to make a case for Buck-Lemming with a lesson in Ancient Greek theatre theory. Also, what does a preoccupation with the past do to the extended Winchester family?
