I'd intended to get this posted before Thanksgiving, but that was not to be. Here, then, is the first half of the last transcript for Still Life.

( Caught, Acts I, II, & III )

It's been a while in coming, I know, but hopefully it's worth it.

( Gravity, Acts I, II, & III )

Enjoy!

( Disappearances, Acts I, II, & III )

No preamble. You know why you're here.

( Evidence, Acts I, II, & III )

As promised, Acts I and II of the Still Life's second episode, "Dead Serious." It's sort of a combination of a couple different styles. The shorter conversations and scenes that I just summarize are more prose-y, while the scenes that I dictated in length are in a more transcript-like format. Please let me know if I need to clarify something, or if you have any questions.

For the previouslies, check here and here. For a portrait of the Morgan family, check here. Note that this third site is dead, for obvious reasons.

( Dead Serious, Acts I & II )

Oh. Oh, wow. That's . . . a lot of ground to cover in one episode. And once again, Jensen brings home the goods in a big way.

Lots of progress made on Jake's murder case, though we never do find out what the secret is. They don't leave it at any big, huge, gaping cliffhangers; it's actually a really good spot to stop. If it were a movie or a book, you might say they left it open for a sequel. Well, yeah, considering that we never find out what Jake's secret is. But all the other plot lines are left in places that could go further, but are fine where they are. (If this were released to the public, there'd totally be room for fic.)

I've got pages and pages of notes to sort through, and depending on how the evening goes, I might even get it done tonight. Or tomorrow.

After which, gang, I'd like to know . . . are you still interested in transcript-y type recaps, or have ya lost interest?

Inquiring minds want to know . . .

Well, today's ep was the first one that didn't really do much for me. Jensen looked great and really delivered as usual. There was some fun stuff between the siblings. But for the most part? Kinda disappointing. The previouslies led me to believe that there would be more progress on Jake's case than there was. Em and Stack's storyline didn't really go anywhere. Daisy is kinda starting to annoy me. All in all, this was a lot of stuff that reminded me why I'm not into the family drama genre very much.

But as I said, Jensen looked good and played well, so that was worth it.

Will be back with the longer recap tomorrow, maybe.

Okay, so ya know how last week's ep was Jensen-light? Well, today's ep (Gravity) totally makes up for that. I thought my hand was gonna fall off. (Yes, I take my initial notes longhand on a steno pad. How weird is that?)

Also, all those smiles he hasn't been smiling? He was totally saving them up for this ep.

This one's a keeper, in all the right ways. I might have to re-watch it without the steno pad in front of me, because, ladies, this young man demands your attention.

Also? We get to meet Flirty!Max. Which is totally different from Flirty!Dean.

And? He's adorable when he's being smugly bashful. Or bashfully smug. (Truly, he and Em probably have the best on-going character chemistry on the show.)

Seriously.

But don't worry, angst!fans. There's Max!angst aplenty here.

I have an appointment this afternoon, but I'll try to get the blurb-y recap up later today. This one is gonna take a ton of transcription later.

Good afternoon, sports fans! Well, it's Thursday, so that must mean that I went to the LoC after work. Today's viewing was a bit of a challenge, as everyone was around and wanted to hang out right by my viewing station to chat.

And when they weren't chatting at my viewing station, they were being very boisterous a few cubicles over.

On the plus side, though, Geo has a co-worker who is a fellow admirer of Mr. Ackles. At first, I wasn't sure if she was a Dean fan or a Jensen fan, but it appears that while undeniably being a Dean fan, she most assuredly appreciates the finer points of a younger Jensen. So she joined me for a few minutes of viewing.

Sadly, today's ep was not all that Jensen-heavy. On the upside of this, it means that this ep will be fairly easy to transcribe (famous last words) when the time comes.

But between the Jensen-light and the audible distractions in the office, my brain was not able to concentrate as per usual.

So please forgive me that it might take an extra day to make sense of my discombobulated notes. Because what was there? Was gooooooood.

In other news, how much do I love Jensen? So very, very much. He continues to give Max an uncertainty of his place while simultaneously conveying the need to protect his sister(s). (He's got more scenes with Emily in this one, and I do so love them together.) He mixes vulnerability (with Maggie) with strength (when protecting Emily), and as open and extroverted as he plays Dean (and Alec), he's quite the opposite with Max. Max is a quiet man, a man of few words, and everything he says and does has purpose. I love Jensen's portrayal of Max.
