Supernatural Reaction
Since I had the night off, I managed to watch Supernatural earlier than usual. And I thought I'd type a little something.
Let me start by saying that last scene? With Dean getting all emotional? I loved it. I hated the context of it (which I'll get into in a minute) but I thought the acting was amazing and I wanted to hug the "brothers".
Now, let me go on to say the rest of the episode made me *headdesk*. *ducks the things she sees you aiming at her*
Go on and hate me for having an opinion. I just honestly can't get into this season. It's too broad. Too Good vs. Evil. Even when they try to force a little Grey Area at me, it feels forced and just plain....Mary Sue-ish.
Anna's a fallen angel? But it's okay because she only fell just so she could have feelings and shag? (City of Angels much?) I mean can you really fault someone for wanting to be human? *eye roll* And her mojo is shiny and lives in a glass vial? That'll magically make her good again?
It's just...I get the moral of the story: Everybody's just trying to find their place. Their home. Where they belong and are accepted. But couldn't they have done this with a shapeshifter in a back alley who goes "You know what? I'm not gonna steal your identity and ruin your life afterall and that's my choice. Y'all ain't even worth it." Yeah yeah Sam's going evil and yeah yeah Dean will still always choose him over salvation/comfort. But a Holy War? C'mon. It just feels....pretentious.
I dunno, it's hard to describe how I feel about it. And I know most anything would just start an argument. I'll still watch the show...but I think I've lost respect for it, in a way. It's not just two brothers, struggling to get by (an everyday plight); it's two brothers trying to save the world.
I'm hoping somewhere down the line something happens that makes me go "OMG KRIPKE I AM SO SORRY I EVER DOUBTED YOU!!! YOU ARE MY MASTER!!!" But I'm starting to doubt that's gonna happen.
Go ahead...hate me.
