Team Rocket: Worst Hunters Ever, Besides The Top Gear Team.

[rionaleonhart]

CATCHING UP ON fandomsecrets IS MAKING ME REALLY PARANOID. You guys know it's okay to say 'actually, this doesn't really interest me' when I'm trying to get you into something I love, right? I don't want you to feel that I am holding a gun to your head and demanding that you LOVE SUPERNATURAL.

Not that I'm going to shut up about it or anything, obviously. From the latest of my e-mail exchanges with dracothelizard:

rionaleonhart: I do hope Ellen and Jo return eventually. In fact, I hope they become a kickarse mother-daughter hunting duo. Yes.
dracothelizard: Yes, clearly the best way for Ellen to make sure nothing happens to Jo is become a hunting duo THEMSELVES. But imagine the angst if Jo gets captured by something. Or the anger, for that matter.
...I may be too invested in the wrong family of this show.
rionaleonhart: Hey, if you want to write fanfiction about the Adventures of Ellen and Jo, Saving People, Hunting Things, no complaints here.
dracothelizard: I already know that the epilogue would be Sam and Dean driving around and wondering where all the supernatural things are, because Ellen and Jo got them ALL.
rionaleonhart: AHAHAHA, GENIUS. I would be okay with the actual television series ending like that. 'Okay, we've sorted out our personal problems, now to get back to saving... wait, where are all the monsters?' Cut to Ellen and Jo, driving off into the sunset and blaring REO Speedwagon.

So, yes, add Ellen/Jo to Ryan/Sharpay and Ruby/Bela on the List of Duos Who Really Should Take Up Hunting Together (those are not romantic slashes. Well, unless you want them to be). There've got to be others, right? CHASE. CHASE AND CAMERON BEING INCREDIBLY DORKY AND ADORABLE AND EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE HUNTERS TOGETHER. MAYBE EVEN CHASE AND CAMERON AND FOREMAN, AND HOUSE COMES ALONG ON ALL THE HUNTS AND IS RIDICULOUSLY UNHELPFUL.

JD AND TURK. 'Playthings' would have gone so badly had they been the ones to check out the hotel, because they would have become completely distracted by playing with the dolls and everyone would have died.

CHELL AND THE WEIGHTED COMPANION CUBE. WEIGHTED WITH SALT. SHE USES HER HANDHELD PORTAL DEVICE TO DROP THE FAITHFUL CUBE ON SUPERNATURAL ENTITIES. TAKE THAT, VENGEFUL SPIRITS. GLaDOS should narrate, obviously, because I can't imagine a silent woman/inanimate object team would allow for much witty banter.

I still think Chase, Cameron and Foreman need to run into Sam and Dean as they're investigating a patient's house.

Also, House used to be hunter, because he thought a roadtrip by himself after his medical training sounded like fun, and then he accidentally got involved in something supernatural, hunted for a couple of years, and then decided to become the world's most brilliant diagnostician.

The entire SG-1 team also needs to be hunters, although that might just be a bit much. Maybe they can split up in Sam and Daniel doing most of the research while Teal'c and Jack do most of actual hunting. And then every now and then Sam and Daniel rescue Teal'c and Jack, who had ALMOST escaped by himself, thank you.

Oh, and team Top Gear OBVIOUSLY have to be hunters.

And I'd say Team Torchwood but a) they already kinda are and b) they would terrible at it, because Jack would end up wanting to see what sex with a demon is like while Owen taunts the Reapers.

Team Torchwood would probably be number 2 on the World's Worst Hunters list, because there's no way they're better than Team Top Gear.

Team Torchwood totally top the World's Worst Hunters list. I can't believe I forgot about them! And I still love your 'the ducklings and the Winchesters cross paths when they both break into the same house' idea. (You know what would be adorable? Sam/Cameron.)

The slight problem is that I don't know whether to make the patient suffer some supernatural ailment, thus making the Winchesters right, or to make the patient be properly ill, thus making House right.

Or it should be both. Someone is possessed by a demon AND has appendicitis.

Or it should be both. Someone is possessed by a demon AND has appendicitis.

THAT IS BRILLIANT. House would be so annoyed.

But on the other hand, House's gloating would be so glorious.
