The Coalition For Disturbing Metaphors

Title: In Earthly Limbo
Author: HalfshellVenus
Characters: Sam/Dean (Slash, Drabble)
Rating: PG-13
Summary (4x01 "Lazurus Rising" coda): Dean is back, though it doesn't seem real quite yet.
Author's Notes: Drabble Meme offering for deadbeat_nymph, who wanted Sam/Dean on the first night after Dean came back from Hell. This is more how I wish things had been than how I now suspect they were.
Also for supernatural100, this is "Thankful."

Saw a couple of fun things on my way to work the last couple of days. Yesterday, it was a jeep-like vehicle with a cloth cover on its rear spare tire that featured a skeleton pirate fist-pumping and steering a ship's wheel. Today, it was an ooky-green GTI with the license plate "YODA 63". Hee!

In TV news, I have to Torrent both Reaper and the Scrubs finale. Apparently, even though there is sufficient space on the disk, my DVR machine will only record things at the END of the disk. Which means 7 minutes of last night's Reaper, and nothing at all of Scrubs! *kicks machine* Earlier this week on 24, "Bug" made an appearance (as an Arab, though, not an East-Indian). No sign of the Senator's traitorous aid, who is played by an actor that keeps cropping up everywhere-- he's on "24," he's playing Gillian's husband in "Lie To Me," and I thought he was in "11th Hour" earlier this season. I'm getting whiplash! Frederic Lane (SPN's "Yellow-Eyed Demon") was on L&O last week, and SVU a few weeks ago. I also spotted Alan from "Reaper" (the soul who beat the Devil's system) in "Lie To Me" last week, and of course Reaper-Tessa made an appearance on "House." I think I need to make a character-actor bingo game...

Still making my way through the Drabble Meme. Just two more left, and I've started one of them. *prods self to finish*

Supernatural 2x21: Why, Kripke, why? I'm pretty sure hardly anyone in the Supernatural audience really wants to see the show go there. And how are you going to get it out in S5? WILL you?

Also, as I cracked to Halfshellhusband, if you go to the Apocalypse (or nearly so-- I remain permanently unspoiled), how do you follow THAT up? Everything after that's going to seem anticlimactic, so from a writing strategy standpoint why hit that peak when you've still got another season left? Leaving aside the whole issue of it seeming excessive and overwrought to begin with... :(

In other TV news, we finally saw the Chuck finale on DVD. Adorable, as always, though I feel like Scott Bakula is one step away from rehashing Quantum Leap somehow (except in the Dean Stockwell role this time). I really hope Chuck gets renewed. It's such a sweet show, and the combination of sweet and entertaining is far too rare. Plus, the antics at the Buy More crack me up.

Randomly, Lethal Weapon is on TV and I'm watching with the sound off. Haven't seen it in years, but I tell you, the homoeroticism still leaps off the screen-- even moreso without sound. That was one of the big reasons I first loved the movie, other than Mel Gibson being gorgeous. Too bad he's become such an unquestionable ass. :(

ETA: Late-night infomercials are SO bizarre. The other night it was people making evil vegetable juices (with things like potatoes and beets). Now it's some twisty-turny exercise machine that you kneel on, and just watching it makes my back hurt. No thanks!
