Walker - 2.14 No Such Thing As Fair Play

[preseriesdean]

Talk to me about s2 supremacy. Spare no details.

thank you for asking and allowing me to gush 💕

maybe most importantly: it still has that early seasons 2000s vibe with flip phones and tape decks and newspaper articles and wide angle shots and americana and grainy film and desaturated colors and grittiness and loose layered working class clothing and shitty motels and grungy bars and this rough edge to everything

another main point is that it finds the perfect balance between monster of the week episodes and a season-encompassing story/myth arc by generally combining the two when necessary, unlike some of the later seasons

an overarching theme is the morality of hunting and whether or not truly every “monster” is really evil or deserves to die: “what if we killed things that didn't deserve killing?” (bloodlust, the usual suspects, croatoan, hunted, born under a bad sign, roadkill, heart) which plays into my next point

the pacing of the season works really well to set up everything about the season finale: sam's storyline with simon said, croatoan, hunted, born under a bad sign; and dean selling his soul, first through john’s deal with azazel, then with children shouldn't play with dead things (“what's dead should stay dead” / “when someone's gone they should stay gone. you don't mess with that kind of stuff”) and crossroad blues (“i think you did it for yourself. so you wouldn’t have to live without her”) and somewhat in croatoan where he's ready to die with sam

literally every single episode is a certified banger in my opinion. i can only think of 2 episodes that didn’t hit the mark too well for me personally but every other one i could rewatch endlessly, and those two still objectively have merit within the framework of the show/season

i won’t talk about each and every ep, but specifically the entirety of playthings, one of the most, if not THE quintessential, gothic episodes of the show. immaculate vibes.

the usual suspects, which shows how well sam and dean work together without even being in the same room and just how generally Weird they can be to outsiders, as well as continuing the theme of “demons i get / people are crazy” which was first set up in s1

as well as the entirety of what is and what should never be. no further explanation necessary i think.

also sam and dean look really nice

cinematography is on. point. the entire time. these shots alone from 2.09 and 2.04. museum worthy.

sam and dean’s relationship is just. sublime. “we were just starting to be brothers again” (2.01) – “he's the only one who gets to call me [sammy]” (2.03) – “you make a move on him, you'll be dead before you hit the ground” (2.09) – “if i ever turn into something that i'm not you have to kill me” (2.11) – “i can't, i'd rather die” (2.14) – “i thought it was supposed to, to be this perfect fantasy” / “it wasn't” / “we never went hunting and you and me just never, uh... you know” (2.20) – “i had to look out for you. that's my job” / “and what do you think my job is?” (2.22)

without taking the focus off the brothers as its core or feeling suffocating, s2 introduces more recurring supporting characters (bobby... kind of, as a rollover from the s1 finale; jo, ellen, ash, gabriel, victor henriksen, gordon walker) and expands on the monster lore, lending some depth to the spn universe before it begins to really ramp up with heaven and hell etc. from s3 onwards

the music was so good, too, although that’s true for other seasons as well. from ‘bad moon rising’ playing on the radio after the car crash in 2.01 and ending with ‘don’t look back’ in 2.22 and everything inbetween; dean singing along to ‘can’t fight this feeling’ in 2.05, ‘hellhound on my trail’ in 2.08, ‘renegade’ in 2.12, ‘back on the road again’ in 2.14, ‘house of the rising sun’ in 2.16, ‘silent lucidity’ in 2.17, ‘rooster’ in 2.19, ‘americana’ playing during sam’s death etc.

they just... did not hold back in all hell breaks loose part 1. earth shattering.

season 2 is funny (hollywood babylon, “maybe the spirits are trying to shut down the movie cause they think it sucks”) and heartbreaking (all hell breaks loose) and silly (tall tales) and deep (what is and what should never be) and philosophical (houses of the holy) and tragic (heart) and creepy (croatoan and pretty much all the rest) and intelligent (the usual suspects) and beautiful to me 💛

Season 2 and 3: The Winchester's and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Demon Deals

Season 2 rating: 9/10

Best episodes from S2: Simon Said, RoadKill, and AHBL I & II

Worst episode: Hollywood Babylon (Just boring)

Season 3 rating 6/10

Best Episodes from S3: No Rest for the Wicked and The Kids Are Alright

Worst episode: Red Sky at Morning (just boring)

Sterling K. Brown is amazing his role as Gordon Walker is great.

I wish the special children plot line lasted longer. I believe so much more could have been done with them.

Ellen and Jo are not the best written characters on a re-watch. I liked them first time but not anymore.

Love episodes with 'human' monsters

Law enforcement episodes are some of my favorites

Dean doesn't have the best mental health in season 1 but in season 2 and 3 he has really started to derail. Couldn't keep his father save and he might lose his brother to an undetermined future.

Sam does stupid shit when he is emotional especially when Dean is involved.

Bella Talbot is a Boss Bitch. I like her more this time around.

Ava is adorable even if she turns into a little serial killer. "I just helped steal some dead guy's confidential files! I'm awesome"

I want to know the story behind 'funky town' Did happen before Sam went to Stanford or when he started hunting with Dean again?

Honestly, Gordon acting like Dean wasn't gonna hunt his ass down for murdering Sam is hilarious

Sam always blames himself for situations out of his control. Makes me sad.

I'm pretty sure that the hotel in Playthings is an Antebellum home.

2.12 Everytime I watch Nightshifter, I can only think of this:

2.12 Dean is such a simple man :" I like him. He says okey-dokey." What a fuckin dork. I love him.

2.12 Sam is so exasperated and bitchy this episode

2.12 Victor Henriksen was short-lived. Would've have been nice for the boys to have an ally in the feds.

2.12 The ending is amazing

Sam continues to believed that he can't be saved

Jared Padalecki is amazing and terrifying in 2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign

2.14 Demons really be trying to make the boys divorce

2.14 The Jo scene is so uncomfortable and the actors did amazing job of portraying it

2.14 I literally read a fanfic where Dean was in the place of Jo. It was some good shit not gonna lie

2.14 I'm pretty sure Meg was shocked that Dean would literally help his brother get away with murder. What's one more crime?

2.14 I have to give it to Meg. She was really trying to get Dean to turn against Sam and kill him. Hell, if she stopped possessing Sam after using his body to kill Dean, Sam would have embraced his dark destiny

Poor Sam. Dean knows what Madison meant to him in more ways than one

Wish we saw more of the lawyer and Deacon from 2.19 Folsom Prison Blues

2.19 Dean having fun in prison and fitting is so well is such a vibe. Sam's being disturbed by it was amusing.

2.20 Even in a world where they were never hunters, Dean still becomes an alcoholic

2.20 Wincest fics having DJINN are my favorite. Good shit right there

2.20 Dean wants Sam to be happy but not at the expense of losing their relationship with one another. Bruh, that shit is depressing.

Aww! Sam is Azazel's favorite

Andy is me in AHBL

Sam flexing his leadership skills in cold oak. Feel like a proud momma

Sam's first death hits hard. The relief on his face when he sees Dean coming for him. The last thing before death he sees is Dean allowing him to let go safely. And Dean just holding onto his world with desperation as his soul dies along with Sam.

Sam finding out about Dean's deal is heartbreaking. He was taken from his brother by a demon, finds out about his demon, he was killed violently, and then he is resurrected only to find out his brother sold his soul. Poor Sammy.

I forgot how shocking Sam's descent into savagery is. Blood thirsty little giant. Don't blame him though. I would be pissed off to if I was stabbed in the back literally and metaphorically

John really climbed out of the bowels of hell, saved his boys, and yeeted to Heaven

Dean becoming catatonic after Sam's death is so sad; his entire world just ended. Family may not end in blood but he is sole survivor of his own blood

Jensen Ackles flexing his acting chops with his emotional scenes begging for his brother to be okay and then having a monologue over his corpse is so fuckin good. Makes me cry everytime.

Demons calling Sam the Boy King or any alternative will never not be cool but it will continue to be funny

I like episodes involving their childhood and baby Dean tried so hard for Sammy

I actually didn't care for blond Ruby the first time I watch the series but I like her more during the re-watch. She is awesome and snarky

As much as I like Bella, she is fuckin dumb for stealing the colt like what the hell man. She reaped what she sowed right there

I used to find mystery spot funny but is more depressing than anything. Sam was barely holding on to his sanity and his moral compass was derailing fast

The way Dean begins to become more unhinged as his deal grows closer made my heart hurt

Lilith poked a goddam bear torturing and killing Dean in front of Sam's face. Gotta give her props; she had fuckin balls considering Sam's future. Guess Lucy didn't give her the memo or just didn't care since he was stuck in the cage. Having Sam Winchester on your ass is probably worse than facing Dean. Unhinged Sammy is somethin else

Old song I listened to the first time in a while and got a lot of mileage this week - "Just for the Record" (2018) by Ruston Kelly

And say it was all a cloud of smoke And say it was nothing but a joke Everything that you said about me is true Just for the record I really loved you

Rereading:

Chapters 18-20 of Kafka on the Shore...

Nakata tries to turn himself in after killing Johnnie Walker but the police think he's a crazy old man. He starts to navigate his way out of Tokyo, helped by various random people, along the way making crazy predictions about animals falling from the sky that all come true, eventually meeting the truck driver, Hoshino, who will end up being a big help to him.

Kafka starts his work at the library. Miss Saeki doesn't interact with him much. He learns that Oshima is really a women living as a man.

Third Quarter 2022 Project Generation Update from Altius

The Project Generation ("PG") business activities and the portfolio of publicly traded junior stocks of Altius Minerals Corporation (ALS: TSX) (ATUSF: OTCQX) are being updated, the company said. As of September 30, 2022, the market value of the portfolio's stocks was $43.5 million, down from $47.4 million as of June 30, 2022. The Altius website contains an updated list of the Company's public equity interests at http://altiusminerals.com/projects/junior-equities.

Project and Portfolio Highlights In addition to announcing other property sale agreements throughout the quarter, Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGN: TSX-V) disclosed its Q2 2022 financial results, which were highlighted by $960,000 in quarterly royalty revenue from its paying 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Ermitao mine. The Walker Lane district of Nevada's Silicon gold project is one of several gold projects that Altius and Orogen have established an exploring agreement to develop.

The flagship Diablillos silver-gold project in Argentina is continuing to produce positive drill results for AbraSilver Resource Corp. (ABRA: TSX-V), including 127 metres ("m") of 506 g/t Ag and 1.99 g/t Au, the highest silver grade-thickness intercept from the deposit. From the Pine Bay Project near Flin Flon, Manitoba, Callinex Mines Inc. (CNX: TSX-V) ("Callinex") has reported infill drill results of up to 33.67 m of 4.29% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au, 4.63 g/t Ag, and 0.31% Zn, as well as encouraging step out holes. In order to report a first resource estimate for the Rainbow deposit, Callinex is still working on it. Altius holds a royalty buyback purchase right to a 0.5% NSR for $500,000 covering the Pine Bay Project in addition to an ownership position in Callinex.

A drilling report from Gungnir Resources Inc. (GUG: TSX-V) from its Lappvattnet nickel sulphide project in Sweden included an intercept of 2.14% Ni over 3.3 m. As it works toward determining a preliminary resource estimate later this year, High Tide Resources Corp. (HTRC: CSE) disclosed positive results from a number of drill holes on its ongoing drill programme at its Labrador West Iron project, including 205.16 m of 32.06% Fe.

Results of seven follow-up drill holes from the Cupuzeiro target at the Planalto project in Brazil were recently released by Lara Exploration Ltd. (LRA: TSX-V). Of note was an intersection of 380.79 m of 0.53% Cu, which included two zones of higher-grade mineralization: 78.81 m grading 1.08% Cu from 17.8 m and 40.4 m at 1.31% Cu from 121.68 m downhole.

Suitable Individual The scientific and technical information presented here is the responsibility of Lawrence Winter, Ph.D., P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for Altius and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. He also reviewed, prepared, and approved this release.

Regarding Altius

The goal of Altius's strategy is to increase earnings per share through a diverse portfolio of royalties assets connected to activities with a long lifespan and strong margins. Additionally, this strategy gives investors exposures that are in line with global growth trends related to sustainability, such as the switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy for electricity generation, electrification of transportation, lower emissions from steelmaking, and rising expectations for agricultural yields. The demand for many of Altius's commodity exposures, such as copper, clean iron ore, potash, many important battery metals (lithium, nickel, and cobalt), might increase as a result of each of these macrotrends. In addition, Altius operates a prosperous project generation company where it develops mineral prospects and offers them to developers in exchange for ownership stakes and royalties. The issued and outstanding common shares of Altius, which are traded on Canada's Toronto Stock Exchange, total 47,616,297. It is a part of the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats, S&P/TSX Global Mining, and S&P/TSX Small Cap indices.

Walker - 2.14 No Such Thing As Fair Play

[nancylou444]

Okay speaking of Easter eggs.

When they were first talking about Kansas at the fair, one person mentioned that Kansas sang "Dust in the wind". I thought I heard Cordell say something along the lines of "that's not the right song".

Then they went to the green cooler scene with Grandpa Campbell.

Did anybody else catch that or did I imagine it?
