The Great God Pan is as Dead as Disco by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Part 1/2, Part 2/2.
The boys, the Trickster, and Mister Nancy. It's not just demons that have an interest in Dean's deal.
In another sense, it started back when a little boy gave his brother a Christmas gift that should have been given to someone else and that should have been given on any other day of the year. There are plenty of old holidays that go around wearing new clothes, and it's not always easy to tell which one you're looking at when it's wrapped up in its tacky sweaters and sporting its novelty ties.

After the end of season one, Betty Suarez goes to work for (Batman Begins-verse) Bruce Wayne...
This sounds insane, but give it a try. Somehow, it works.

the bigger they come... by Steve Goble, from 'A Thousand Faces' ("the quarterly journal of superhuman fiction"). A short story that makes me think superhero fiction could be, y'know, interesting.

Being Human. This is a BBC3 pilot whichmay or may not be commissioned into a whole series has just been commissioned!, but what I've seen? I love it like burning. Trying to establish some normality in their lives, Mitchell and George rent a flat...and soon find they have an uninvited roommate, Annie. She's a ghost. But that's okay, because Mitchell's a vampire and George is a werewolf. They know what it's like struggling to be human.
The show is dark and funny and sweet and just a little bit geeky (please to be seeing the quote in my icon). It also contains the best werewolf transformation scene since An American Werewolf in London - the first one I've really believed was painful.nardasarmy's wonderful run-down of the characters is here, and includes *cough cough* links for them as haven't seen it.

And finally, demonstrating my infallible ability to know which shows I'll like the instant they hit tv [/sarcasm]: Boston Legal. Surprisingly watchable (and this from a person who wishes the "order" part of "Law & Order" would just disappear).
