Spoilers for latest Who and Supernatural.
Whooo, Doctor Who was a bit of a wild ride, wasn't it? I hate when I have to spend the entirety of a show tensed up in case they do something wildly offensive. And the New Who team (specifically Torchwood - can you imagine Chris Chibnall in charge of this one? Urgh) haven't exactly had a great track record with mental illness. If they'd decided he wasn't mad and didn't kill himself, and it was Aliens All Along, I think I'd've become violently angry. Because he was mad and he did kill himself, so give him the respect he deserves. I was a bit annoyed with the Doctor for being so bloody useless - what, you've travelled space and time for a thousand-odd years, and you can't face depression without trotting out the platitudes? - but the overall message that the poor bastard just couldn't be fixed, at least not that easily... I liked it. Depressing, sure, but honest. Realistic. The doctor couldn't swoop in and fix the crazy person up all better quick; d'you see what they did there?
Supernatural just had me thinking inappropriate things, and not in the sexy way. When Castiel lost his temper with Dean and beat the shit out of him, all I could think was "the angel looks down at him and says 'ah, pretty boy, can't you show me nothing but surrender?'" And later when Cas dismissed the other angels with a symbol carved into his own frigging chest, all I could think was "I prepared explosive runes this morning". I'm sure it was a very deep and meaningful episode full of angst and whatnot, but my brain wasn't playing.
