It's hard to believe that AHBL8 even happened. It was amazing and magical and I wish I could go back and do it all again.
Since coming back home things have been really difficult. My boss's son came home unexpectedly last week and wants to work for him again, so the boss took some of work days away and gave them to his son, and the boss also hired another girl a while back who recently decided she "wanted more work" so without discussing it with me first, my boss canceled more of my days to give them to her instead. I'm now only working a few hours on Saturday afternoons, and the boss is making comments about how he doesn't know how much longer he'll be able to afford to pay all of us.
We're driving five hours north on Thursday this week for a job interview. I really hope it goes well. I don't know how much more bad news I can take. I'm just so tired to having to fight so hard for everything.
Supernatural is usually a nice escape from reality but lately, it's just been so hard to watch. I love Sam and Dean and I think I always will. But I hate what the writers are doing.
I hate that they brought Mary back, a wonderful strong female character, and reduced her to a useless extra fawning over Ketch and turning her back on her own family. That doesn't sound like the Mary I knew, the one who would die for her family, the one who was strong and independent and smart. They have gone and ruined the character for me. Honestly it's nearly at the point I won't be upset if she dies at the end of the season.
And the death of Eileen. She was awesome. She was a great representation of deaf people - strong and smart and determined, a good hunter, helping Sam and Dean despite her disability. And then the writers had her killed, quite needlessly. They could have chosen any other minor character, but of course they chose her. A woman. A disabled woman. An awesome female character. I am furious. It's not Charlie-level, but it's close. Writers, stop creating amazing female characters just to kill them to make the Winchesters sad.
And due to my own past, the Lucifer's baby story line is a struggle to watch. And they're drawing it out so long. Like, just get it over with already.
I'm really finding it hard to keep enjoying the show. The season started off great but has gone downhill fast. I really doubt they'll redeem it in the next two episodes.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just too low to find any good in anything. But I won't give up on this show. I love Sam and Dean, and of course J2, even if the rest of the show turns to crap. The acting alone from Jared and Jensen would keep me watching. They are amazing.
Anyway, that's my thoughts at the moment. Hopefully next time I post it will be with some good news, or at least a more positive outlook.
