Aeronautic Primates and Other Delights

For the Supernatural fans looking for the references from last night's episode:

Following up on the suggestions received from my post about scary television, I received a metric ton of X-Files suggestions. Which eps are the scariest? I'll probably take the top 4-5 and watch them to research my article.

Also, I still need suggestions for scary Supernatural episodes. People seemed to be drawing a blank on 'em last time.

We have a title! Taking on Supernatural Season 2's habit of naming episodes after either rock songs or horror movies, I went with Dr. John's Right Place, Wrong Time (a song which I am admittedly not terribly familiar with). Don't read too much into it -- depending on your viewpoint, the characters are either in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. No mixing and matching. Anyway, here we go with Part 3. Standard disclaimers apply -- this hasn't been beta'd and I haven't seen anything past "The Usual Suspects" in Season 2 of SPN.

Title: Right Place, Wrong Time
Author: Jetpack Monkey
Fandoms: Supernatural, Doctor Who
Spoilers: Supernatural through 2x03 "Bloodlust" and Doctor Who Season 3 (general).
Summary: It would be an average hunt for the Brothers Winchester if it wasn't for the weirdo alien with the massive attention deficit.
Section Index: 1 2 3 4

( The TARDIS... about two hours ago and three hundred years in the future )

Bonus points for anybody who makes me an icon for this fic.

This is unbetaed and given that I have terrible history finishing fics, likely to be the first in one of those WIPs that just continues to be IP. Still, I kind of felt the need to write it. Setting is somewhere in Supernatural Season 2 and Doctor Who Season 3.

( Neither Sam or Dean thought that the lanky man bent over the bloodied corpse looked much like a police detective. )

Thoughts?

ETA: Part 2

I don't know why, but I had a sudden urge to watch the first episode of "Supernatural" again tonight. I'm a little hard on the show at times, mostly because I'm used to ensemble casts and complex plot arcs. After mainlining the first season last September (the box set was a review copy and they come attached with due dates on occasion), I was left with the feeling that, while it was a solid show, the lasting appeal just wasn't there.

Man, I was dumb.

This show rocks. My roommate and I blew through the four episodes on Disc 1 in what amounted to a single sitting (with a brief break between episodes two and three to get chocolate malts from Sonic). I love the clean through line, the simplicity of the set-up and the skill with which the show mixes American mythology with the Winchester dynamic. Oh and the music. The music is just gold.

Why did I ignore you, friendslist, when you were shoving the Brothers Winchester toward me at every possible opportunity? Why did I spend nine months as a non-"Supernatural" fan? I want to repent for my silly misjudgement by adding Winchester icons to my journal and buying Season Two on DVD when it comes out (although I'll probably wait and see if I can get it free again).

Also, Sera Gamble (writer for the series) is like my dream woman.
