Rec, and SPN 6.02.

Oct 03, 2010 09:25

I know I've recommended it before, but there is quite a bit more to it now, and should be finished fairly soon, I've heard. So if you have not been reading Restraint, darkemerald's spectacular Regency-era J2 AU, you are missing out, terribly. I am utterly spellbound. I love it to a truly unseemly degree, truly.

( A bit about Supernatural 6.02. Mind you don't step in the spoilers. )

Now Sam simply comes across as a vaguely detached milquetoast.

That just made me stop reading and laughing for five minutes straight. *g*

The Campbells -- for some unfathomable reason which I truly hope will turn out to be their fear of Dean seeing through their act when Sam has not -- are the most solidly unlikeable characters the show has thrown at us. It might make them passably interesting if they are revealed as good guys down the road, but the show is telegraphing every moment its intent to make them bad, bad, bad. BORING.

Seeing as they are aready one cousin down, I'd guess we are left with Grandpa by mid-Season and then it's anybody's guess if he is a good guy working under duress for an evil guy or mustache twirling himself. No idea.

I can hardly reconcile this man with the guy from ITB. Back then the Campbells apparently lived a nice, domestic little suburbian life while hunting. Now the Campbell clan looks like the de-evolved cousins of the Benders, living in a gated compound (that is sure to be stormed any minute by the FBI) and mocking suburbia. I have nothing.

OMG...the gated compound! I almost burst out laughing when I saw that. How many of these fucking Campbells are there, anyway? Last week I thought there were just four, including Gramps, and this week we're in freaking Ruby Ridge.

Or Branch Davidians, I dunno. An out-of-touch group, too, evidently -- did they miss the Apocalypse? (such as it was)

They missed the apocalypse, all sorts of freakish geological phenomena, widespread demonic possessions, entire townsful of people disappearing off the map and the opening of the Devil's Gate, to name a few. Not to mention that no other hunter the Winchesters have ever encountered have ever mentioned these people. Guess that's what happens when you wall yourself off behind barbed wire.

And they didn't even seem to notice that the one cousin was kicking up daisies, you know? That, too, was weird.
