December meme for st_aurafina: Amanda Tapping Supernatural episodes

Full request: if I had a huge crush on Amanda Tapping, what episodes of SPN should I watch? Should I bother? Was Naomi in it very much?

Well. I am not an unbiased person to ask this of, because I happen to love Supernatural, so I will always say yes!

And Amanda is brilliant as the enigmatic angel Naomi, so I say absolutely, this is worth a watch. She's gorgeous as ever, and just knocks it out of the park in her time on the show.

In addition, the plotline with her and re-writing Castiel's base programming hits me in all my Supernatural feels, culminating in one of my top five episodes ever, 8.17 Goodbye Stranger. So yeah, I'd say, watching her episodes would totally be worth it for an Amanda fan, and give you a decent sense of what Supernatural can do right, when it puts its mind to it. Her eps are:

8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin
8.08 Hunteri Heroici (A hilarious episode)
8.10 Torn and Frayed
8.17 Goodbye Stranger (A heartwrenching episode)
8.19 Taxi Driver
8.21 The Great Escapist
8.23 Sacrifice (Another heartwrenching episode - and she dies, so, if you don't want to see that, maybe stop this one fifteen minutes from the end? After her little speech to Dean and Cas.)

Here is my December meme topics post, if you have something you desperately want to ask me.

December meme for healingmirth: What's on your playlist these days?"

Full request: What's on your playlist these days (or what apps/radio stations are you tuned into?)

Hilarious you should ask, as I have been struggling with 8tracks for a WEEK to make some playlists for solstice_calendar. I really hate iTunes right now; I've just converted roughly half my library from AAC, and there are 100 or so items that are "protected" so I can't convert them. The worst part is that I BOUGHT THAT MUSIC, and I'm basically being punished for it. Drives me crazy.

But, that said, I'm listening to our own collection lately; I haven't been in a radio mood. The last time I was really crazy about new music was the summer before last, and pretty much the app I used constantly was iheartradio, and I listened to radio stations for Imagine Dragons, fun, AWOLNATION, Fall Out Boy, Mumford and Sons um. Damn, a bunch more I am not remembering now because it's been a long while. I usually had KIIS FM from LA and DC101 in the mix too, just because I am a little nostalgic and those were my radio stations. Oh, and I had 104.7 WIOT because that is the Supernatural network! Apparently it's what Kripke listened to when he wrote SPN, and it's all that classic rock that the show's been getting away from recently.

We got an XM Radio trial in our car for two months, which seemed neat, but was actually not great. Changing channels took forever, and THERE WERE STILL COMMERCIALS. Why would I pay for a service that's still going to give me commercials? OR TALK? I mean, yes, if you want a talk radio station, great, but NO, not on a paid station! I JUST WANT MY MUSIC, OKAY?! I think I probably used the classical station on my commute the most, tbh.

We're looking for a new car, and the most important thing is that it have a USB input for the radio, so we can just use our iPods instead of making CDs (which we can only do with mp3s, again, ARG). One of the soundtracks I'm going to make is the songs from the CD we've got in that I don't skip (heh, yeah, it has 76 tracks and I skip about 60 of them). So anyway, look for those later today, and you'll know exactly what I'm listening to lately. :D

Anybody up for a meme?
