Lockdown Update Day 234 (US centric)

Because this amused me (I have never watched Supernatural, but have absorbed a fair amount via fannish osmosis):



(Article here, MANY SPOILERS. Like even hovering over the link will spoil you: 'Supernatural' broke the internet in the most absurd way possible. 'Supernatural' managed to trend above Putin and Trump on Thursday night. Here's why.)

And then this is extremely silly but made me laugh a LOT:

Yes, the very end.
I don't remember all that much about the Praxeus-couple, just that there were issues, and it was AGES AND AGES since I saw it. And then I remembered that it came out in like... February? This year? And it feels like 5 years ago. 2020 strikes again. I mean, it was this year, wasn't it? Not last year? Feels like it's a long time ago.

I've seen a summary of the clip on Tumblr now, I'm just...
It's like a Bingo card of terrible tropes, including the single tear. (It made me go look up The Price, which is always golden.) A++++ Matt Smith use.

They didn't want to remind people that they supported apartheid and that Biden was on the right side of history back then, too.
I suppose. Interesting that there seem to be lines they won't cross. Who'd have thunk.

Yep, according to IPlayer, Praxeus aired 2nd February this year which is DECADES as far as our internal clocks go, let's be real.

Also I had not seen The Price before, so thank you for that! :DD

... Yeah, it aired BC (Before Corona). A mythical time.

You are MOST welcome. (I noticed that Castiel managed the one, magic tear!) Also check out the meta - there's a link in the description.

Precisely.

I did read the meta and it was very good. The sheer amount of manpain that Ten went through was something to behold, I'd managed to block most of it out tbh.

Remember the best name ever for Ten: 'The Lonely Angel Storm at the Oncoming Fire of the Universe'. I forget who coined it, but yeah. Walking ball of man!pain. (He hurt so beautifully, am not complaining...)
