In space, no one can hear you flail
*It's a day and a bunch of flailing later and I'm still annoyed about this. I totally get that if a canon text becomes unhappy for people, it's easier to enjoy it if you detach emotionally from it, and that if fans didn't care so much about a show, they wouldn't bother criticizing. And please, this is in no way me complaining about negative critique of Supernatural. Whatever floats your boat (or doesn't). What I don't get is this viewpoint that doesn't just stop at a particular fan saying they personally need to employ the thinky off switch to enjoy SPN, but that the fans who are liking it must be watching with their brains (and hearts) turned off. What, because the fans who are enjoying it and are moved by what's going on and give it a thumbs up despite the problems aren't thinking about the characters? Because that's the only way SPN could possibly still work? Seriously? (The show has had clunky writing and massive plot holes you could drive the Impala through since season one).
This is a really old debate in fandom, and a really old misconception, that True Fans will be disgruntled and Casual Fans will be happy. I'll just file that down here, right next to that thing about how critical fans are Bad Fans who don't love the show the way it deserves to be loved.
*Now that I've ranted, have an adorable picture of baby mongooses. (Apparently, the plural is mongooses, not mongeese. Noted!)
*Speaking of being gruntled and disgruntled with SPN, okay, I might have been a little bit bad and clicked on the rest of the promo images released this week. *flees in shame* Mood spoilers and an image behind the cut, for something completely unrelated to Castiel.
From here.
I have been waiting for a moment like that since season 2. JFC, I'm hearing the theme for Justice League in my head. SHOW ILU SHOW. <3
AND SHOW WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MEEEE? So full of win and so inducing of soul-crushing worry. They didn't kill Ellen or Jo in 5x02. Now I can start agonizing about whether either of them will get killed off in this episode. /o\
The 20th Anniversary edition of Say Anything was released on Tuesday. Here's an article about the making of the boom box scene, and I totally missed it but apparently there was deployment of a herd of Lloyd Doblers in my city yesterday, with boom boxes held high.
20th anniversary edition. Now I feel OLD.
I'm also kind of going O.o at this, there's apparently going to be a hotel type thingie. In space.
