I don't mean to sound wanky or anything, but I'm starting to get sick of women being graphically murdered on Supernatural. The show just wasn't this violent in the first and second seasons. Sure, there was blood, but the dude from "Home" getting his hand getting stuck in the garbage disposal was horror movie corny violence; a close-up a teenage girl being drowned in a toilet? It feels different, and I don't like it.

That said, "Criss Angel is a Douchebag" and "After School Special" were better episodes than I've seen in a while.

It might be that there's a prevailing attitude right now that it's even more horrifying that a woman gets killed in a graphic manner than if a man gets killed in a graphic manner, which generates more shock. The problem with this is it of course becomes kind of a crutch, and just makes things look lazy and, worse, really sleazy. It's kind of like how people are like "Drama? How about a rape scene!"

Huh, yeah, that does make sense. It's not very fair in terms of characters and plot, but. Eh, does make sense. They should fix that.

The writing quality lately is ... well, not spectacular, so I dunno if they will...

[paella]

Yeah, I've been a little disappointed with that lately, myself. Oh well. I'm still having fun watching it, so I guess it doesn't really matter, but.

Same, but I kind of miss what it used to be. Plus, I think they're fucking up Dean's character, which is pretty hard to ignore...

I dunno. I'm just gonna see how it goes before I pass judgment. Once they hit something that really irks me, I'll complain.

They're kind of losing me with Dean, because they keep harping on HE WAS TORTURED FOR FORTY YEEEEEEARS and I TORTURED PEOPLE AND I LIKED IT SAMMY and ANGST ANGST ANGST but then he's totally the same otherwise? wtf. Jensen Ackles doesn't even seem to be sure how he's supposed to be playing this guy anymore, and I don't blame him. And Sam's plot is completely stalled out, they just keep harping on the same things again and again and again...

...That's true. IDK. Supernatural's the only show I watch on TV really right now, so. I honestly don't pay attention to stuff as long as I'm entertained. /simple-minded

Heh, I really don't do a whole lot of this anymore, either—with other shows, yes, but not really Supernatural. SO A LOT OF THIS IS JUST STUFF I'M THINKING OF RIGHT NOW. I'll stay with the show unless it really pisses me off, I've been watching it for three years, after all. ^^

YEAH I GET THAT ♥ I'm just kinda "durr I can't really say anything" :|;;

You're better off. Supernatural fandom is CRAZY AS FUCK, I'm not kidding. I'm sure you've heard the rumors, but if you haven't seen the batshit with your own eyes...

[paella]

Oh, sakebi warned me fully of just how crazy the fandom is, so I stay as far away from it as I can. I'm happy just dorking about it with her and a few other fans.
