Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seto glanced at Jounouchi when he realised he'd just given up on the argument so easily. 'You alright?' he asked, as kindly as he was capable. He wasn't thrilled about flying again either, but he was determined to handle it.

((I can't remember where I stumbled across the long quiz, I think it was relinked in a lot of places, but yea it's probably the same quiz.

I have 4 episodes left from season 8, the last one I saw was the hell taxi episode where they released Bobby (so, I guess you know about that now too? :'( ). I'll aim to catch up this weekend hopefully, been putting it off, but also wasn't aware I had so few episodes left in order to be current.))

While Seto didn't fully believe that Jounouchi was 'fine' he decided to accept this assertion as 'fine enough.' That decided he turned his attention to the task at hand. 'So where are we exactly going now, who is this contact Isis has sent us off to see, and why is this our best first contact?' Seto asked diplomatically.

((Yea Bobby's death is always the hardest thing when people tell me they've started watching Supernatural. My bf started it while I was in CA and he just adored Bobby and it kind of broke my heart as I refrained from telling him Bobby wasn't going to make it. So when you said you liked Bobby I was like, oh not again! Hah, but yea I do like Garth but I don't like when they try to obviously make him Bobby (having him steal lines, or small actions, or whatever - it'd make sense of Garth was Bobby's son or something, but not so much as is). Him being in that advice/based hunter role is amusing, I just don't want them to continually stab at Garth as Bobby because it is a further reminder that Bobby is gone. Will definitely let you know when I finish the series though, looking forward to it now.))

Seto handed the directions to his pilot before turning back to Jounouchi. 'A jackass huh? Care to elaborate?' Seto asked, somewhat bemused at how offended Jounouchi appeared to be just thinking about this man.

((Yea, I think the show is reliant on the two main characters, and bringing them back is acceptable while still allowing the show the ability to create loss - bit necessary in this genre - through the removal of loved minor characters. Bringing back characters like Cas or Meg from time to time who aren't human doesn't challenge the shows ability to ignore death, bringing back other humans would just mean that no death has to be viewed as permanent. Which will give the deaths a lot less meaning when you can say, oh they'll bring him back I'm sure. I mean the major characters are already pretty much immortal, make the minor characters immortal and this show loses all sense of consequence, which would lessen the impact of a series where the threats are basically death/hell/loss.))

Seto was not even going to feign insult at the implication of his arrogance. 'How exactly are we meant to impress this guy?' Seto asked, unsure what to make of a holier than thou occult specialist.

((Yea, but come on, who'd ramp up the emotion more than Bobby? He made it a lot longer than one might have expected, though that is probably just what added to the intensity of losing him.))

'That seems utterly absurd, and the fact that you felt that clarification was necessary is a tad disturbing. I don't see how fisticuffs is a relevant use of our time, you can't punch malevolent supernatural forces,' Seto scoffed.

((Alright, all caught up on SN, and yea I have to say I really enjoyed this season and I thought it ended well - though the boyfriend is getting sick of heaven and hell and just wants the show to end already. He stopped watching earlier this season, part of why I didn't keep current as most of the TV I stay caught up on is stuff he'll watch as well. I really liked Metatron, though was very much suspicious of him, was sad that they brought some old faces back to just kill them off, and generally just think that their take on heaven/hell is a cool idea and I enjoy watching it explored. That's about all I have time to say atm, but yes fully caught up now so you are free to say all.))

Seto rolled his eyes and said, 'look, we'll meet the guy and see how it goes. However, I don't know if I trust this man to be very helpful if his idea of disseminating supernatural advice requires a boxing match first.'

((He is human, but Cas being human is obviously nothing that has to be permanent, but he hasn't quite had the resurrecting soles mojo since the leviathans. I have a feeling that restoring Bobby permanently isn't likely (unless the show goes on for several more seasons, in which case anything becomes likely), but it can always be hoped. Metatron was creepy, but yea I thought he was a good character and even with intentions revealed (which I still feels leaves a lot of questions) I'm excited about him. Crowley was great of course, but I pretty much always love Crowley. Wondering what happens with him now though, if they don't finish the 'cure.' I thought the ending was quite intense and almost cinematic, though again Tom rolling his eyes the whole time didn't help. But looking forward to next season, will try to stay on top of it this time. Though with the PhD thing you never know.))

'I'll talk to him, but my patience is wearing thin lately. If he's unreasonably ridiculous I'll turn elsewhere for help, best chance or not,' Seto answered stubbornly. Jounouchi seemed to be relaxing, but Seto was unable to calm down and enjoy the (possibly perilous) helicopter ride. He was still far too preoccupied by his inspired search into his own family history.

((If it was just Cas that was human I'd agree, but it's all the angels (except possibly Metatron for some magical reason, not sure how he exempted himself), and I doubt all the angels will stay human. Even if it was Cas's grace used I still have a feeling when all the other angels somehow manage to regain angel powers Cas will as well. I also am not sure what Cas will do as a human, or if he even has his memory of being Cas. Cas never feels overpowered to me, probably because for whatever reason (not necessarily believable ones) he doesn't generally use these powers. He used the powers most during the apocalypse arc, however the archangels being even more powered up kept Cas from seeming unreasonably strong in the greater scheme of things. However, I think this is the first shift in a long time (since they decided to inset the higher powers) and I'm happy about that. I'm also hoping the return to the original Dean/Sam dynamic holds out, because I really think that was one of the best parts of the show. Of course more episodes that are focused on an individual case rather than the overarching theme (even if overarching themes are still there in the background) would definitely be a good mood. Guess we'll see what we get next Fall.

Heh, the comic is cute, and I can totally see it...minus Kevin in fishnets. xd ))
