We have about 2 weeks before the Character Cup begins if the time table between nominations and the start of voting stays the same. So what's a Supernatural fan to do? My theory is why let a dead horse go to waste when you can continue to get something out of it. Therefore, I propose that we take the results of the Favorite Episodes Contest to determine the ultimate episode. I ranked episodes based on what percentage of votes it received. I felt this was more fair because it didn't matter how many people voted overall in a round. Then I used the format for the NCAA basketball championships (and the Best Show contest here) to determine which episodes go against each other. Basically, the NCAA has it where the highest ranked team goes against the lowest ranked team in the first round and then things get more interesting. I've added the ranking below. Unfortunately, I could not get a handy bracket like the ones Andy uses for the Best Show competition to work on my computer so everything will appear random for the first round. Trust me. It has a mathematical placement.
Before we begin this part of the contest, let's wrap up the final two Favorite Episode polls. For the penultimate episode, All Hell Breaks Loose, part 1 took first with 168 votes. That was 44% of the vote. Two Minutes to Midnight had 83 votes with 22% of the vote. For the finales we had great voter turnout with almost 600 votes. The winner was Swan Song with 216 votes, or 37%. All Hell Breaks Loose, part 2 came in second with 133 votes, which was 23%. Thanks to everyone who participated in that part of the contest. I hope people have fun with this new one. Oh, and because dead horse starts to smell bad quickly, we will be expediting this part. We will crown the winner in 11 days. Call it the speed round. Don't forget to pass the word and as always, comments are technology that never glitches or slows down. Happy voting! Screencaps by Supernatural Caps and Supernatural Fans Online

What can I say? I get easily bored and 10 days without Supernatural discussion doesn't work for me. I think it is ironic that The End is going against The Pilot.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love every episode of this show and its usually hard for me to pick which episodes I like better, and the same is prob true for a lot of other ppl. These polls def require some thought lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this. It's a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. I was hoping people weren't bored to tears with episode voting already, but I hate leaving it without a definite winner.
ReplyDeleteJust skimming through these, dome of them are really hard and some are pretty easy
ReplyDeleteThe end bs the pilot is a tough one, croatoan and like a virgin. And Simon said bs monster at the end of this book
Competition looks exciting. I like the whole brackets idea because it has interesting outcomes
I'll come back later to choose who I'll vote for
I REALLY don't get The love for The End, i've seriously only seen it once and i've watched every episode several times, that one and No Exit and The Rapture were easily my least favourites. Very odd.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I hate tue hellatus when there is no weekly supernatural to look forward to
ReplyDeleteThanks so much again for putting these up dahne.
Yeah, pilot vs the end is pretty funny
It is hard so I've decided not to over think this time but to go simply with my gut. All decisions made in 30 seconds or less. Well, at least in the first set of rounds. I don't know if I'll be able to keep that goal when it comes to my top 15 going against each other.
ReplyDeleteSome of these are easier than others for me. Already voted for The End over the Pilot. No question. The End is Ben Edlund at his best (and his best is fudgin' AWESOME). Great direction, acting, even the lighting was fantastic. Dean meeting up with his future self and us knowing in each scene exactly which Dean was which. Poor Impala rusting and derelict was heart breaking. Misha as hippy Cas was fantastic. And Dean once again proving to us and Zach that when push comes he's only too willing to shove back.
ReplyDeleteI could go on. And on.
Besides, I've got all those other polls to comment on.
Oh and I forgot to mention the Contours and "Do You Love Me" - absolutely AMAZING choice of music there.
ReplyDeleteOk shutting up now.
I think it's because no matter which character you favor, there's something for you. Well, unless you favor Bobby I guess. Dean fans get Double Dean, intense and strapped. Sam fans get a chilling Sam as Lucifer in white. Cas fans get Orgy Cas. The bonus for me is a Chuck I find humorous. Plot fans get to see what the Apocalypse looks like. In the end (yeah I know), it's all up to personal taste. Everyone knows I dislike certain episodes that half the world thinks rock. :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. interesting idea Dahne. :) Let's see, this should be fairly easy. My votes got o: The End, Faith, Swan Song, Croatoan, Fresh Blood, No Rest for the Wicked, Monster at the End of This Book, and --ohh -- loved both of those... oh well, going with Lazarus Rising. I'll pretend I voted for both that and Let it Bleed. :) I can do that in my world.
ReplyDeleteOooops almost forgot the editing - this episode must've given the editor nightmares but it was just perfect.
ReplyDeleteSame here. It was hard to pick which episode I like better. Thanks for doing this. I started rewatching Supernatural and there's only one season left...aaaaw. Kinda bored over here...
ReplyDeleteIn your world, I voted for both too. I also also voted for Tall Tales and No Rest for the Wicked. I like your world.
ReplyDeleteWe're starting season 5 this week at SPN Asylum. So I still have 2 seasons to go but overall I'm less of a fan of season 6. We really need some juicy spoilers around this time. Or hey, Mark Pedowitz could show his love for us and Supernatural by upping the date for the premiere. After all, they already pushed one back. It's only fair.
ReplyDeletepose that we take the results of the Favorite Episodes Contest to determine the ultimate episode. I ranked episodes based on what percentage of votes it received. I felt this was more fair because it didn't matter how many people voted overall in a round. Then I used the format for the NCAA basketball championships (and the Best Show contest here) to determine which episodes go against each other. Basically, the NCAA has it where the highest ranked team goes ag
ReplyDeleteI think it actually gets worse when it's under 50 days. I'm starting to get itchy and that's never good.
ReplyDeleteA few of these were fairly painless.... the others NOT so much.
ReplyDeleteI voted for The End, Faith, Swan Song, Croatoan, My Heart Will Go On, Skin, Simon Said, and Lazarus Rising.
It's only going to get harder from here, isn't it? *pouts*
The next 3 days should be fairly painless. However, after that it should get progressively worse. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteIf Mark Pedowitz upped the date for the Season 7 premiere he'd definitely find himself with a lot of new friends in the Supernatural Fandom.
ReplyDeleteOk you voted the same as me for all of these - we obviously have excellent taste :)
ReplyDeleteI can see for the later rounds will send me further around the bend than I already am :D
Hell, I have to go back and watch the End again. I never saw the rusting Impala!!! I swear. Ok, I was a little focused on Dean maybe...
ReplyDeleteThe absolutley easy ones: The End, Swan Song, My heart will go on, Simon Said, Lazarus Rising.
ReplyDeleteThe hard decisions: Tall Tales, Coatoan, Skin
This is SO COOL!!! I really, really love the idea! now the episode contest will get really juicy!
ReplyDeleteMy votes:
The End - because it was probably the best episode of season 5, while the Pilot was entertaining, but rather average
Faith - because I've always loved dying, vulnerable Dean
Provenance - because I love creepy little girls and it was far more entertaining and packed with action than Swan Song
Croatoan - because I love the idea of demonic virus
Fresh Blood - because it's my favourite vampire episode
No Rest for the Wicked - because by now, the shapeshifters are not impressive anymore
The Monster at The End of this Book - because I love Chuck and meta and there is Jo in Simon Said
Lazarus Rising - because of the hug, Pamela and Castiel
the hard votes were against My Heart Will Go On and Let it Bleed, the rest was easy.
I'm a Dean fan (well, actually I'm a Winchester fan ;)) and the highlight of the episode for me is still Jared's Lucifer. Absolutely mind-blowing.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the double Dean didn't hurt either ;)
but as a Cas fan, I didn't really like the Orgy Cas. I much preferred the "the voice says I'm almost out of minutes" one ;)
There's a pic of it in my "I Want Dean Winchester's Baby" article on SPNAsylum. Poor Baby!!!
ReplyDeleteGood points. That's what I get for generalizing. I should have stayed with it has something for every fan and not added any details. I actually preferred confused Cas vs what I consider Hopeless Cas too. Orgy Cas didn't do much for me although I did laugh the first time.
ReplyDeleteUrgh, that picture physically hurt.
ReplyDeleteI really prefer ’’The End’’ over The Pilot, Sam as Lucifer
ReplyDeletein a white suit was an amazing experience for me.
’’Tall Tales’’ beats ’’Faith’’ for me because it started our Trickster-Journey!
’’Swan Song’’ was an amazing episode – and for me it beats out ’’Provenance’’,
despite that being a very good episode aswell.
I didn’t really care for ’’Like a Virgin’’ that much… So this one was easy for
me – ’’Croatoan’’ wins this one.
’’Fresh Blood’’ wins here.. Definetly prefered this to its opponent!
This one is tough, but, the Kim Manners directed ’’No Rest for The Wicked’’
wins here!
’’The Monster at the End of this Book’’ takes the cake for me! – Although ’’Simon
Said’’ had its moments.
Finally ’’Lazarus Rising’’ takes it for me…
I'm especially happy to hear that this contest doesn't bore you because I think you are the only one who comments who participated in the favorite episode by # contest last year too. I was wishy washy about the whole thing and decided not to post yesterday for fear people would be bored with discussing episodes. Glad people here never get tired of Supernatural conversation. It makes my hellatus go by so much faster.
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time choosing between Tall Tales and Faith because the episodes are so different and I like them for opposite reasons. Add in the Trickster and it just made things more difficult, mostly because of who he became more than who he was in Tall Tales.
ReplyDeleteOh I love Born Under A Bad Sign and its number 7 on the list my favorite number haha now thats a cool sign.
ReplyDeleteI will never get bored by these, you have my word for that :)
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, several of my votes have changed since the last year's contest.
also, this is still interesting as now the episodes with different numbers go against each other and we can see which numbers were strong competitions and which not. For example, today I voted for Lazarus Rising over Let it Bleed, but I didn't vote for Lazarus Rising in the premiere poll and I did vote for Let it Bleed in the penultimate poll.
Thanks for doing this. It's a lot of fun.
ReplyDeletei've really enjoyed it
Fairly easy choices for a first round. (and choices that aren't in the majority, from what I can tell)
ReplyDeleteMy vote: The End, Faith, Provenance, Like a Virgin, Fresh Blood, No Rest for the Wicked, The Monster at the End of This Book, Let it Bleed. I was caught on that last because I like both almost equally. I figured everyone was going to vote for Lazarus Rising, so I gave Let it Bleed a vote.
ReplyDeleteThis has made Hellatus a little easier to get through. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm going stir crazy. I watched all six seasons through. Now I'm watching Jensen as Jason Teague on Smallville. After it, I'm not sure. I have a number of their movies. If I have the money, I may pick up the Anime and watch something different. I do have Season three of Leverage to finish. Christian Kane and Timothy Hutton are good to watch but it's not Supernatural.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite "other" role to watch is Alec in Dark Angel. Just mute the Max whining parts and all is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up on Leverage season 4 right now. For season 3, just mute the Nate condescending parts and all is fabulous. :-)
I voted:
ReplyDeleteThe End
Tall Tales
Swan Song
Croataoan
My Heart Will Go On
No Rest For the Wicked
Monster At The End of This Book
Lazarus Rising
After voting I regretted not voting for Simon Said.
:-) I think my votes were fairly consistent from last year to this year, but that might just be me remembering things wrong. I am finding myself voting against hings in this match that I voted for in the last one, and vice versa, too. I"m thinking of the first part of the contest as one long nomination process with lots of conversation. This is were it will get really tricky. Of course 3 of my very favorite shows just barely missed the cutoff so it's not exactly the most accurate contest either for me. Oh well. It's something different.
ReplyDeleteI have been a year behind on Leverage, mainly because I didn't have cable or satellite when it started. I loved Jensen in Dark Angel I have Both season the show, season six of Dawson's Creek, the pilot from Still Life that someone downloaded for me. I wish would allow a release of the six episodes that were never shown. I'd like to have them. Jensen was good in the pilot. I have Blonde, Devour, Ten Inch Hero, and MBV3D. The only thing I don't have is is stuff from DoOL's I would like to have them. I have of Jared's also. I don't have his seasons of Gilmore Girls yet. It gives some chioices.
ReplyDeleteI like like Nate. Timothy has been a favorite of mine for years. I loved watching his dad also.
Now that's a good world. I gave my vote to Let it Bleed because I figured that Lazarus Rising would run away with that vote. I loved both of them.
ReplyDeletelol I have been trying to bide my time with iMovie :P
ReplyDeleteI had to wait after I voted to actually comment. Most of this was gut reaction, I think. Here are the reasons for my choices.
ReplyDeleteThe End. Now, I loved The Pilot, but it's very early Sam and Dean and not who turn out to be. It is early canon, yes. When I first started watching the I didn't like Dean at all. I preferred Sam and I'm not sure why. The further I got into the series and really got to know the boys, the more I fell for Dean. He was a lot deeper than I thought. There was a lot of hidden pain and grief. The cockiness and being a smartass was all to cover the pain and protect himself from exposure. As much as I love Sam, there were times when I wanted to shake him. First impressions can be way off base. Mine sure was. The End showed two sides of Dean. The o ne who still had a heart and care, and the one who had truly lost his brother and had to try to kill him. This more that anything showed me why Dean did not fight Sam when Lucifer took control. Dean just loved him and willing to sacrifice everything to be there and try reach him. That's the Dean I love.
Faith.- Tall Tales was fabulous, don't get me wrong, but Faith was special. It was the episode that showed the side of Sam that proved that he loved Dean as much as Dean loved him.
Provenance -This one was difficult because Swan Song is a favorite, but Provenance introduced Sarah Blake. I still think she should marry Sam.
Like a Virgin - I just loved Dean and the sword. Jensen Ackles and comedy are a perfect mix. He's great at it. I just liked the episode. Now I loved Croatoan. It was just a difficult choice to make.
Fresh Blood - Not that I did not like My Heart will go on. I just liked Fresh Blood.
No Rest for the Wicked ' I loved Skin. It was a great story, but it can't begin to compare with Kim Manners and No Rest for the Wicked. It was an incredible episode.
The Monster at the End of this Book - This beats out Simon Said. I know some people don't care for the episode, but I like Chuck. He has his moments. Dean's trying to circumvent the prophecies was funny in places.
If I could have voted for both on this one, I would have been a lot happier. Lazarus Rising is one of my favorite episodes, but I also loved Let it Bleed. I know that Lazarus Rising is going to win this particular vote so I gave my vote to Let it Bleed. I will probably get to vote for Lazarus Rising later on.
All right! Off topic. I got my Trickster badge while posting tonight.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that 14 out of the 64 episodes are from S6 - not bad at all :)
ReplyDelete;) You can come visit anytime.
ReplyDeleteI almost did that, too. :) But I couldn't. Lazurus Rising has the added bonus of relieving me of the Worst. Hellatus. Ever.
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable, Airbat. Like you need an excuse to watch it again. Sly devil. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it gets worse when you start getting spoilers from eps they've filmed. Even hearing episode titles gets me anxious!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the rest of the eps filmed for Still Life. I saw the pilot and thought it was great. Very touching seeing all the photos. But, alas, it may forever lay collecting dust in the Fox (?) vault.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I'll never get bored of this. It just gives me a reason to rank things, I make lists of my favourite things anyway so now, I feel like I'm just helping make one big huge list. Which I find super fun. Plus, this is the first fandom I have actually wanted to participate in.
ReplyDeleteOh... my votes, The Pilot - I love the way it was set up. Just the way everything was so full circle.Tall Tales - Alien Slow Dance. What else needs to be said here? Swan Song - Everything about this episode is amazing.Croatoan - "You have a neighbor named Mr. Rogers?" "Not anymore."My Heart Will Go On - Seeing Ellen and Bobby together was just too much. No Rest For The Wicked - Dean piercing the veil was super awesome and the ending when you hear him scream "Sam" broke me.The Monster at The End of This Book - I love Chuck. I just love him. I want to put his drunken prophet ass in my pocket and carry him around. I think he's awesome. Annoying at times, but awesome overall. And this in this episode, he says one of my favourite lines of all time, "I am the prophet... CHUCK!"Lazarus Rising It's badass all the way around. From Bobby hanging up on Dean then threatening to kill him then actually trying to kill him. Seeing Sam do the same thing and then the hug. Oh, the hug. *Sigh* It's a great opening for what's to come.
Faith vs. Tall Tales was so hard to choose! I ended up picking Tall Tales, but I now regret not voting for Faith. It's just such a strong, moving episode.
ReplyDeletelol I'm such a rebel! Most of my choices weren't so popular in the poll (they're coming in second place...)
ReplyDeletesome of these were easy to decide but a lot of them were pretty difficult to pick
ReplyDeleteeasy choices: tall tales, swan song and nor rest for the wicked (although i love skin)
not so easy choices: my heart will go on (although i like both this and fresh blood, neihter stand out so much and i like my heart a bit more)
lazarus rising (both this and let it bleed are ok in my eyes, i don't really love either, i went with lazarus rising because it gave us cas)
like a virgin (i love croatoan but the long wait for supernatural after the mid season hellatus and the sword in the stone scene is what gave like a virgin my vote)
the really hard ones
monster at the end of this book (simon said is prob one of my fave episodes from season 2, although i did love the whole season, but i just really loved mosnter at the end of this book)
pilot (hardest one by far, i love the end, the end is amazing. i love every moment of it. but its the pilot. i cannot say how many times i've watched it, its a amazing, it defines supernatural. i love it so much. i had to go with the pilot but it hurt to do so over the end)
i'm surprised french mistake got a higher percentage than mystery spot. then again, i guess it depends who they were each up against.
this competition is fun :D
oh, and that comment just got me the trickster/gabriel badge!!
ReplyDeletewoohoo!!!
i love the trickster :D
I used to have the Still Life pilot until the computer it was on died. :-( Now I love Jensen and Jared but even I won't go into Blonde and House of Wax territory. That's more gung ho than I'm willing to go. I do have the Gilmore Girls early years though.
ReplyDeleteSo are you going to have some videos for us to watch?
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and welcome to SpoilerTV. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteMany of my picks are going to be out this round too and several of my picks didn't even make it into this part of the contest.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Faith is a special episode. There's something about Sam role reversal and vulnerable Dean that gets me every time. Add great guest stars and reapers and you've got an episode made of win to me.
ReplyDeleteHa! I think Simon Said regrets it too. It is going down this round. :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess season 6 didn't suck as bad as some people say. :-P I'm happy for it although traditionally people vote for the most recent things over older things usually. It's a poll bias. If we did this next year, season 7 would probably get a lot of votes too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to SpoilerTV Meg. We're glad you chose to participate here. I loved the Mr. Rodgers quote in Croatoan too.
ReplyDeleteI struggled too but ended up choosing Faith so I guess we canceled each other out. :-)
ReplyDeleteIn the perfect world, they would have made a Dark Angel spin-off with Alec as a main character... damn, I loved Alec. There actually wasn't much difference between the late Alec and the early Dean.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about Jared in House of Wax was the reference in Supernatural ;) but as much as I liked Gilmore Girls, I couldn't stand his character there.
ReplyDeleteAmong the 64, I'm missing Something Wicked, The Kids Are Alright, You Can't Handle the Truth, Heaven and Hell and Death Takes a Holiday
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, I wish we could have all season finales here, but that wasn't technically possible. Too bad.
hohohoho... all my choices are no 1!!! :D
ReplyDeleteso many polls!! :P
ReplyDeleteVoted like the majority except for Faith
ReplyDeletePilot, Tall Tales, Swan Song, Like a Virgin, My Heart Will Go On, No Rest For The Wicked, The Monster At The End Of This Book, Lazarus Rising
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this. It's a fun time-killer. My votes were for the pilot, Tall Tales, Swan Song, Croatoan, Fresh Blood, No Rest, The Monster, and Lazarus.
ReplyDeleteNot to cause problems, but if this is going to end up in some kind of ranking with more than the top three episodes, we really should include the bottom group too because the first round wasn't random. In theory, the true top six episodes could be the six season finales, but three got excluded because of the tough competition. Instead we're including weak mid-season episodes, which because of their schedule, didn't have much competition.
The pilot
ReplyDelete- I watched it recently and I like it more now than the first time I saw it; knowing how it all ends up makes it more poignant.
Faith
-although Tall Tales was funny, I just found Faith to have many of the moments I like about Supernatural..
Provenance
- I just enjoyed the episode. Sarah was a great female character, the story was spooky and Dean looking on fondly at Sam and Sarah's kiss was so sweet.
Croatoan
-a good mysterious episode and an early nod to the Apocalypse. It was so moving to see Dean willing to die with Sam.
Fresh Blood
--We get to see Sam eliminating Gordon with wire, what's not to like ( and Gordon was one of my favourite characters too! )
No Rest For The Wicked
- Dean's death, Sammy's tears, Lilith's " Sam can't be killed by her" surprise and the glimpse of Hell- great.
Simon Said
- I thought this was an interesting episode. We get to meet Andy, Sam has lots of visions, Dean gives the Impala away and the part where he can't stop himself blurting out the truth about who he and Sam really are, is priceless.
Lazarus Rising- another perfect episode that had everything, deception, humour, angt, and, in my opinion, the best hug of the whole series. ( not to forget Dean wearing Sam's too large shirt and brown jacket )
Yeah, it is hard choosing one over the other - I do like Faith a lot, but the fact that it is the Trickster, and he has a big part of the big picture, ''Tall Tales'' takes the cake.
ReplyDeleteFound some of these tougher than others, but I voted for The End, Faith, Swan Song, Like a Virgin (the toughest choice for me), Fresh Blood, No Rest for the Wicked, The Monster at the End of this Book and Lazarus Rising.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd just like to add my voice to the multitudes crying thanks to Dahne for going to all the trouble of arranging these competitions! :)
I love the use of 'Do You Love Me' in that episode: can't wait to watch it on Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agreed. Max was weighing the whole series down in season 2. She needed to go and Logan with her.
ReplyDeleteAw, you didn't like Cute!Dean? I thought he was adorable. I stopped watching Gilmore Girls the season Jesse showed up.
ReplyDeleteOf the ones that just missed the cut I'm heartbroken over Nightshifter, Asylum, and The Kids are Alright. Overall, Devil's Trap's omission is the most serious offense to me. I would vote for it over almost every single episode here.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing much better than me then. I think I agree with about 1/2 of them. Welcome to SpoilerTV. We're glad to have you.
ReplyDeleteSorry. I didn't want to drag this out beyond people's patience so the first 6 days will be poll-heavy and then it will drop off by half each day.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I'm already resigned to the fact that the episodes I like won't even be in the running by the time we get to the final rounds.
ReplyDeleteIt's not ideal that's for sure but having a contest of 126 episodes was overwhelming and didn't fit in the brackets. It won't be a true winner but I have no doubt that the one still standing at the end will be a favorite of most people. Right now I'm just trying to pass the time before the character cup. I'll try to think of something better for next summer.
ReplyDeleteI like your choices. Tall Tales was definitely funnier but Faith had a lot of humor in it too, especially for a dying episode. I can't go into the laundry section of Target without giggling at the Snuggle bear. People think I'm nuts.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Simon Said is not going to make it into the next round. It was my favorite Special Kids episode and I love Andy too.
I didn't want to sound like I was complaining because I know you put a lot of work into this. I agree that the winner and a couple of runner ups should be legit in theory.
ReplyDelete:-) I had a hard time voting against Like a Virgin's hug and Dean vs the rock. It was a fantastic end to the hiatus. Still, Croatoan was one of my favorite season 2 episodes from Mr. Rogers and Schoolhouse Rock to Dean giving the others the Impala and staying with Sam. I almost violated my 30 second rule on that one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you were complaining. I just wanted to acknowledge that you are right. Whoever gets the number one place will not be a true winner because not every episode got a chance. If we do episodes again next year, I will look at some way to make it fairer to get into the top 64. Not sure how that will look yet or even episodes will be the focus next time. At least there's still a year to figure it out. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, and thanks to you for these polls.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just good to be able to comment on the episodes, but it's very interesting to read other people's opinions too.
They also help to refresh one's memories on the older episodes, which as you say, struggle a little against the more recent ones.
Yes, Andy was really sweet, wasn't he!
LOL, sometimes I do, Sue. My friends just don't get it how I can rewatch an episode I've already seen like five times. I need a cover up story to not look completely crazy to them...like, I haven't seen the rusty Impala (which I really didn't-sacrilege!)
ReplyDelete
