There is a Teddy Bear Party over in rustydog's lj. There's tea and cookies to enjoy and a little booze if that's what you fancy.

TV Guide: Would you like to parlay all of that into one of those big-budget sci-fi/comic-book movies?
Ackles: I'm not against it by any means. Comedy, drama, Westerns, sci-fi... it's all fine if the story's compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like action a lot. The other night there was a big stunt and they brought in my stunt double. When I saw what the stunt was, I was like, "No, no, no. I'm doing this." They'll usually let me do it, unless it's big stuff like a wire-jump off a building — that could be a catastrophe. But [costar] Jared [Padalecki] and I would much rather have a day of action and stunts than a day of the two brothers sitting in a motel room pouring their hearts out. [Laughs]

TV Guide: You realize you have a lot of female viewers because of that emotional stuff, right?
Ackles: This is true. "It's a necessary evil," we like to say.


:blink: Really? Cos I'm watching for the blood, violence and UST. I mean I don't want the boys to hold secrets back because dragging out a storyline like that pisses me off sometimes but I don't want them to sit around and cry about it. Because really, I'm tired of Dean crying.

No no no, you're wrong. You're a woman, so naturally you're only interested in the fluffy emotional stuff. None of the disgusting violence or the scary ghost stories. That stuff is only there for the male viewers. You're only watching for Dean's tears, because as a woman you can't possibly be interested in anything other than emotions and the boys sharing their feelings and talking about their relationship. That's the only reason you're watching.

(acording to TV network people who seem to think that all viewers fall into the categories of "women = emotional/romantic fluff" and "men = violence and gore")

Hahahaha. ILU!

I hadn't realized that but yes, those are the exact reasons I watch. I cannot wait for tonight, I hope there's lots of feelings and emotions involved.

They might as well just get rid of the whole supernatural thing altogether, since the only reason we females are watching is to see the brothers pouring theri hearts out to each other.

(which I do like, but if all I wanted in my TV show were angsty characters having long emotional discussions, I'd turn my attention to soap operas - though *cough* I have been getting into As The World Turns recently. I blame the adorable gay boy storyline).

You're right, we should write a letter to Kripke telling him that parts of his show is offending our delicate feministy.

I've been hearing a little bit 'bout that storyline.
