SPN 6.21 & 6.22 - and pondering Season 6

May 31, 2011 18:16

Late opinion is late. I've been letting this sit, trying to weed out insta-fan reaction from deeper, story-telling opinions. I haven't had a lot to say here about Season 6 because as I watched it seemed extremely disjointed and as if too many stories were being told. I figured I wouldn't really know how all the balls in the air would fall until ( Read more... )

Seriously? Everybody was okay with that?!? This echoes my complaints from the start of the season when Bobby & Sam claimed they'd left Dean in the dark about Sam's return because he'd "found happiness." This is the guy who goes out for beers with his neighbor/coworker after work, drinks hard liquor with dinner, drinks liquor while at the computer, drinks liquor while locking up the house to head to bed...yeah, that's happiness.

Anyhow, Sam is excused as he had no soul but BOBBY went along with this plan. Castiel didn't talk to Dean so as to preserve this "happiness" and that's presented as a problem. How is it okay to mess with this woman's memories? I HATE this. How is this love?

(Also, if you're Dean and you've just thrown in with civilians, wouldn't you recommend getting an anti-possession tattoo? If you were a civilian who'd just thrown in with a demon-magnet, wouldn't you WANT an anti-possession tattoo?)

I've taken the "wall coma" as Cas put Sam in that state to handle his memories in a safe way. I don't know.Huh. That hadn't ( ... )

Sure hope they prove me unnecessarily pessimistic about their plans.

DITTO! *chews nails until September*

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that you, too, have issues with this. It's HORRIBLE. It's a violation and removes her agency. And this tripe was written by a woman. We are our own worst enemies. /o\

I didn't hate Ben or Lisa but I sure hated the way their story was written. This closing is just salt in a wound of bad telling. I just don't understand why they had to fail so profoundly.

I'm pretending Sam has the insight enough to post some kind of watch on them, because clearly Dean doesn't have the wherewithal to do it at this point. (Which is another aggravating point to the whole scenario. Dean would not have this logic gap.)

At least Sam had his soulless state to blame for his character deviations this season. Dean (and Castiel, who would have pointed this out) have to blame the writers. I found the whole thing deeply disturbing. Blergh. I can't talk about it too much with getting all worked up all over again.
