Hi, I came here to reread your Bronze Age fic, which I still love, and was searching around for an epilogue (did you ever write one?) when I stumbled across this post.

So much word on the Padalecki/Cortese thing, if it's true. Actually, the first thought that crossed my mind when I heard that rumour was, so that's why she's still around, because seriously, I can see no other reason to keep her. It makes especially no sense in the context of them letting go of Cassidy because the small budget wouldn't allow them to pay her all season. Surely Cortese is not cheaper than Cassidy, what with all her acting diplomas (I'm really wondering how she got them. Don't you have to be at least somewhat satisfactory to pass?). I rarely pick at the acting, I didn't mind at all that Cassidy wasn't perfect, but Cortese brings out the worst in me. Everytime she appears I get the urge to throw things at my screen. The last time I had this reaction was when I saw Welling on Smallville. Now in comparison to coma-girl-Cortese, bland-face-Welling suddenly doesn't seem so bad anymore.

As for the DVD covers, I like the Impala more than Castiel, so I'm happy I'll be getting the UK one. ;)
