Taking the good with the bad...

I've come to a conclusion- and really- this isnt going to be any apocalyptic, earth-shattering news flash - more just the whole 'after four seasons - shaking my head in disgust' kinda thing... but my conclusion is this... while the one thing that is so utterly pheonomenal about Supernatural is its fans... alternately- its also its bane...

BJXmas actually started a thread over on SN.tv where a lot us like minded folks who actually love the SHOW can chat about the episodes without all the other crap that goes along with it.

You know the first thing I thought when I saw the promo clips for 5.2? Oh god, the Sam Girls are going to have a meltdown if Ellen hugs Dean and not Sam... We've already got people complaining about Jensen mentioning an ITB-like ep that Jared's not in much, ("I feel so sorry for Jared..." - who's said the Sam storyline is the best it's ever been and couldn't be happier,) and then of course there's the "It's all Dean and Cas now, Sam's not going to be in it!" Sheesh. Gimme a break. It's people making stupid comments like that about a season that hasn't even started yet that make my blood boil! And then there's the whole, "It's soooo not fair, Sam's the Antichrist and Dean's Christ now?" No. When did Kripke ever say that? And why was it a surprise that Sam did the demon blood thing when he was clearly going to go that route right from the pilot episode????

Grrrrrrr... Yeah. You've touched a nerve here, Tree, can you tell???!!

Yeah- I totally get what you're saying... I dont know why people seem soooo shocked when anyone with eyes and a brain- not to mention anyone who's ever read any sort of classic fiction- could tell from the start that this story had all the signs of the classic misunderstood hero- the protagonistic villian- even the dark redeem villian in the end (Sam)- good grief- its nearly Cain and Abel with a better ending.... yet- some of these goofs want to turn it into a teenage version of 90210 ( who's better looking Luke or Brandon) Not a blessed one of the people that start these bantering retarded threads can truly delve into the deeper mythos and really "see" Kripke's point. Its about ultimate sacrifice, ultimate love, brotherhod, family, and so much more. I kinda wonder if any of these infantile morons could or would possibly sacrifice one iota for a loved one remotely like Sam or Dean have? I dont think they could conceive giving up a Twinkie for their brother or sister if push came to shove- they're too stinking shallow... yep- definately touched a nerve in all of us...LOL
