Talk to me about s2 supremacy. Spare no details.

thank you for asking and allowing me to gush 💕

maybe most importantly: it still has that early seasons 2000s vibe with flip phones and tape decks and newspaper articles and wide angle shots and americana and grainy film and desaturated colors and grittiness and loose layered working class clothing and shitty motels and grungy bars and this rough edge to everything

another main point is that it finds the perfect balance between monster of the week episodes and a season-encompassing story/myth arc by generally combining the two when necessary, unlike some of the later seasons

an overarching theme is the morality of hunting and whether or not truly every “monster” is really evil or deserves to die: “what if we killed things that didn't deserve killing?” (bloodlust, the usual suspects, croatoan, hunted, born under a bad sign, roadkill, heart) which plays into my next point

the pacing of the season works really well to set up everything about the season finale: sam's storyline with simon said, croatoan, hunted, born under a bad sign; and dean selling his soul, first through john’s deal with azazel, then with children shouldn't play with dead things (“what's dead should stay dead” / “when someone's gone they should stay gone. you don't mess with that kind of stuff”) and crossroad blues (“i think you did it for yourself. so you wouldn’t have to live without her”) and somewhat in croatoan where he's ready to die with sam

literally every single episode is a certified banger in my opinion. i can only think of 2 episodes that didn’t hit the mark too well for me personally but every other one i could rewatch endlessly, and those two still objectively have merit within the framework of the show/season

i won’t talk about each and every ep, but specifically the entirety of playthings, one of the most, if not THE quintessential, gothic episodes of the show. immaculate vibes.

the usual suspects, which shows how well sam and dean work together without even being in the same room and just how generally Weird they can be to outsiders, as well as continuing the theme of “demons i get / people are crazy” which was first set up in s1

as well as the entirety of what is and what should never be. no further explanation necessary i think.

also sam and dean look really nice

cinematography is on. point. the entire time. these shots alone from 2.09 and 2.04. museum worthy.

sam and dean’s relationship is just. sublime. “we were just starting to be brothers again” (2.01) – “he's the only one who gets to call me [sammy]” (2.03) – “you make a move on him, you'll be dead before you hit the ground” (2.09) – “if i ever turn into something that i'm not you have to kill me” (2.11) – “i can't, i'd rather die” (2.14) – “i thought it was supposed to, to be this perfect fantasy” / “it wasn't” / “we never went hunting and you and me just never, uh... you know” (2.20) – “i had to look out for you. that's my job” / “and what do you think my job is?” (2.22)

without taking the focus off the brothers as its core or feeling suffocating, s2 introduces more recurring supporting characters (bobby... kind of, as a rollover from the s1 finale; jo, ellen, ash, gabriel, victor henriksen, gordon walker) and expands on the monster lore, lending some depth to the spn universe before it begins to really ramp up with heaven and hell etc. from s3 onwards

the music was so good, too, although that’s true for other seasons as well. from ‘bad moon rising’ playing on the radio after the car crash in 2.01 and ending with ‘don’t look back’ in 2.22 and everything inbetween; dean singing along to ‘can’t fight this feeling’ in 2.05, ‘hellhound on my trail’ in 2.08, ‘renegade’ in 2.12, ‘back on the road again’ in 2.14, ‘house of the rising sun’ in 2.16, ‘silent lucidity’ in 2.17, ‘rooster’ in 2.19, ‘americana’ playing during sam’s death etc.

they just... did not hold back in all hell breaks loose part 1. earth shattering.

season 2 is funny (hollywood babylon, “maybe the spirits are trying to shut down the movie cause they think it sucks”) and heartbreaking (all hell breaks loose) and silly (tall tales) and deep (what is and what should never be) and philosophical (houses of the holy) and tragic (heart) and creepy (croatoan and pretty much all the rest) and intelligent (the usual suspects) and beautiful to me 💛

Administration of Ketorolac using Foods Boosts It's Plasma tv's Attention inside Chinese Sufferers using Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Prospective Period Two Research

Our objective ended up being to examine CT and also PET accuracy throughout experienced persons using SPN. Approaches: Among Jan Late 90s as well as 06 Mid 2001, many of us hired 532 members together with SPNs freshly identified upon radiography along with without treatment. The actual SPNs have been 7-30 millimeters. All #Link# individuals went through F-18-FDG Family pet as well as CT. The bad screen of 3 Dog about three CT authorities rated the particular studies on the 5-point size. SPN tissues medical diagnosis as well as 2-y follow-up founded the final medical diagnosis. Results: The conclusive diagnosis started pertaining to 344 participants. The incidence associated with malignancy ended up being 53%. The average size ended up being Sixteen millimeters. Chance percentages (LRs) for Family pet as well as CT latest results for mixed evaluations associated with either undoubtedly harmless (33% as well as 9% of individuals, correspondingly) or even possibly harmless (27% as well as 12%) have been 2.12 along with 2.11, correspondingly. LRs with regard to Dog as well as CT recent results for put together scores of indeterminate (1% along with 25%), probably malignant (21% along with 39%), or perhaps absolutely cancer (35% as well as 15%) had been A few.16 and A single.61, correspondingly. Region under the recipient running attribute contour has been Zero.95 (95% self-confidence interval, 0.90-0.Ninety five) pertaining to Dog and also 2.Eighty two (95% self-assurance interval, 3.77-0.86) for CT (P < 0 #Link# .0001 for the distinction). Dog inter- and also intraobserver stability ended up being more advanced than CT. Conclusion: Certainly and in all probability harmless outcomes on PET as well as CT highly foresee not cancerous SPN. Nonetheless, these kinds of outcome was Three times more prevalent along with Family pet. Undoubtedly dangerous final results on Dog had been much more predictive of metastasizing cancer than were these kind of benefits upon CT. A cancerous last medical diagnosis had been roughly 10 times more inclined than the usual benign final prognosis throughout contributors with Puppy final results ranked certainly malignant.An improved RNA aptamer along with HER2-specific holding has been conjugated for you to hynic along with tagged together with Tc-99m, for potential use like a radiopharmaceutical regarding analysis imaging of ovarian most cancers tissues (SKOV-3) with high HER2 phrase. The actual aptamer was radiolabeled using Tc-99m by utilizing hynic because chelator as well as tricine because the co-ligand. Balance assessment with the radioconjugated aptamer ended up being performed by way of ITLC and also SDS-PAGE throughout standard saline along with solution. The particular aptamer-radionuclide conjugate was evaluated regarding cellular HER2-specific holding, vividness thanks, and also cell phone internalization inside SKOV-3 and MCF-7 cellular material, as well as biodistribution components had been evaluated in regular as well as SKOV-3 tumor-bearing rodents. Radiolabeling from the aptamer ended up being reached rich in generate and radiochemical wholesomeness, and also the Tc-99m-hynic-RNA aptamer had been very stable inside standard saline as well as solution. Cell phone findings revealed particular joining from the aptamer to the HER2 receptor which has a dissociation continual associated with 28 nM. Speedy bloodstream #Link# settlement ended up being noticed right after shot in the Tc-99m-hynic-RNA aptamer, and also the major removal path was using the hepatobilary system.

2x12, “Nightshifter” (Dir. Phil Sgriccia) 

Aah, Ben Edlund, that scamp who’s always shining lights into the underbelly of this show and the nature of storytelling itself. This episode is about subtext, and about why trusting the surface level read of the story will get you killed and replaced by mandroids leave you confused. The real story is never just what’s happening on the surface. And this entire episode serves as an excellent reminder of that fact.

Plus, Sam being a dick actually gets a guy Dean liked killed (there’s reasons I am not a Sam Girl... I can’t forgive him for this as easily as Dean seems to...). Yeah I know he’s doing the best he can while operating on the presumption there’s nothing he can do to change his “destiny” to turn evil, or whatever he’s built up this vague warning into in his own head because he actually has no literal concrete information on why Dean might have to kill him yet... like... just that vague ominous warning. And yet Sam takes that with both hands and shapes his entire identity around the fact that he will have no choice but to become evil, like he has no free will to choose, like, not to do that...

*sigh*

Meanwhile, Dean still doesn’t get a vacation, even after Sam’s poor choices end up inadvertently putting them back on the radar of the FBI. They really should’ve just gone to the beach instead.
