Status Report Supernatural Reviews & Other Stuff

Hi, flist! Some of you may wonder about the lack of activity around here lately, and I thought I should probably let you know that I no longer intend to write any Supernatural reviews. In fact, I have quit watching the show altogether after The Purge, and there is little chance that I will return to the show (or the fandom) in the future. It is no

It's really sad how SPN has turned out now--I know a lot of people say it should have ended with season 5, which I always disagreed with since I do love s6 on the whole and bits of s7, but these days I almost would sacrifice those for the sake of the note of finality we got with 5x22 (minus the Sam glimpse at the very end). I still watch, because I can't quit shows I was once really invested in (I even slogged through the godawful final season of Merlin recently, months later, for closure). It's a chore to watch though--one I only watch while doing chores these days.

On another note, what did you think of the Outlander midseason finale? This is kind of how I felt:



PS. Have you checked out Forever yet? If you need a new show, I have found it pretty charming and fun so far...Ioan is delightful and he has a great bond with another character.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to miss S6/7 either, because I really loved them and think they have a lot to offer in terms of character exploration, but ultimately I just wanted to be able to remember SPN with affection and look back to it as one of my all-time favourite great shows. Now it rather steps in line with Angel, which also disappointed me to such a degree that I could no longer watch it. I hate when watching a show becomes a chore and in the end I think it makes things even worse. By dropping it at this point, I hope I can at least salvage my love for S1-7. Time will tell I guess.

On another note, what did you think of the Outlander midseason finale?
Well, of course it was hard to top the wedding episode, which was so intensely focussed on the characters and infused with so much intimacy and atmosphere, but still, I think the finale was great. I loved that we finally got a glimpse into Frank's storyline and those scenes up at the stones, with Claire and Frank 'piercing the veil of time', so to speak, gave me the chills. Of course they ended on a cruel cliffhanger, I expected nothing less, but it will be hard to wait 6 months for the continuation. I will really miss the show. /sigh

PS. Have you checked out Forever yet?
No, I haven't checked out any of the new fall shows. I don't watch as many shows as I used to. But I have heard good things about Forever. Maybe I'll give it a try. Did you watch The Musketeers yet, by any chance?
