Still I Go To The Deepest Grave, Where I Go To Sleep Alone
This was going to be another brief update on my life, but instead, I want to talk about one specific thing.
Against my better judgement, I've been watching Supernatural. And I really, really enjoy it. I know that everyone on my flist who watch(ed) it had a lot to rage about, so I'm trying not to get too cozy, but dammit... I kinda love it. I've seen a few episodes from seasons three and four, and one from season five ("Changing Channels"), but since I'm just watching it on TNT, I think I'm on the first or second season? I don't know, they just had a little showdown with THE Demon that killed their mom and Sam's girlfriend, but they didn't kill it 'cause it possessed their dad, and they just got in a car crash caused by The Demon. And tomorrow, Dean's in a coma or something. (Also, it's weird that in Gilmore Girls, Jared played Dean, but here he's Sam and his brother is Dean. My mom can't get used to it at all.)
There's something about it... something I find almost... emotionally familiar about the show, if that makes sense. Like with Lord of The Rings. Frodo, specifically. I talked about that here, and how LOTR was somehow mildly triggering for me, but not in a horrible way, in sort of an insightful and "I'm not alone in feeling this way" sort of way. It's comforting, to see traumatic events actually impact characters emotionally like this on TV. I know that probably sounds crazy, but that's how it is with me.
So, I'm very excited to see more on Sam and the demon blood. And Dean going to Hell.
Wanna know another reason why I hate him? Ever since that day in Safeway, I find trauma in everything. Whenever a character goes through something possibly traumatic... Ugh. Even in The IT Crowd. Thanks, bastard. I hate you. I hate someone when I don't even know their face.
I'll see if I can get more of my thoughts on Supernatural in order tomorrow.
(Oh, by the way, thanks to Netflix I have now seen The IT Crowd and it is so frakking hilarious I can't describe it. Watch it.)
