I have been into Supernatural for a whole...several months now! So here is my totally convincing and authoritative assessment of THE ROAD SO FAR.

This show is the Manic Pixie Dream Girl of shows. It is my Zooey Deschanel. Whenever I'm all, "oh show, you so wacky! This is the wackiest anyone could possibly be! Congratulations, you win at wacky!" it ( Read more... )

supernatural, the dollhouse is real, meta-fantastica

I haven't watched the last half of the season, so take this with a grain of salt.

It gets hammered home for every main character that, as far as the universe and leviathan are concerned, he is SO NOT SPECIAL.

I didn't get that from the first half of the season at all, what with how the Leviathans were so occupied with watching Sam and Dean, tracking them through electronic records, etc, going to the trouble of impersonating them, for some vague reason when it would have been simpler to just kill them or forget about them if they weren't a threat.

It ended up feeling more like they were on Dick's radar because they were a loose end from Cas? It was just easy for the leviathan to keep an eye on them. But it wasn't like the antichrist/angel vessel business, where THE RULERS OF THE UNIVERSE had a vested interest in messing with them but keeping them alive.

I might have deeper thoughts later, but for now: I look forward to your 30 days posts, not least because I've been thinking about doing that myself but had not geared myself for the massive Dean-is-my-favorite-character-(still)-(I-think) post.

So I shall read yours, and maybe that will get me motivated. :)

I sometimes joke that this show is written just for me, because the crack alone makes it my favourite thing ever.

It just means that stepping up was never an act of free will before. This season it was, and they did ... And they fight back anyway, and win. And that, to me, makes them the most heroic they've ever been.

I don't even know how people write crackfic for this show? Like, what could be too crazy for canon? It is fantastic.

I am commenting to mark this so I can come back and read all your meta eventually. My sister has dragged me into this show by the hair and forced me to love (to a certain extent). :P Well, I'm sort of kidding - it was more of my sister talking non-stop about the show for the last month and a half, and while I was typing my final paper at home, she sat down next to me with her laptop and started watching the pilot (she began watching the show with season 7). I ignored it at first (mostly because I was afraid of being terrified), but by the second/third episode, I was sitting watching right next to her... >>"

Also, she has infected me with her obsessive love of Castiel and the actor who plays him. LOL! I do like him a lot... along with Anna... and Bobby... and the Winchester bros when I don't feel like slapping them over the head repeatedly.

ETA: We're 2/3rds of the way through S4 at the moment, so I am waiting to finish S7 before trawling through your posts. :)

BRO, YES. JOIN MEEEEEE. It has Issues. It has so many Issues. I just have to not think about any of the Issues in order to enjoy it, and we all know how hard that is for me. BUT THE CRACK IS SO DELICIOUS.

I adore all the angels, ESPECIALLY Anna and Castiel. Overall my heart belongs to Sam, but yeah, the angels are consistently the most interesting species.

!!! So you just watched THE BEST EPISODE, right?!

LOL - I feel... drawn in a CRACK!cult at the moment. >>" LOL! And yeah, I'm doing my best to ignore the issues too - though I've annoyed my sister enough when I point some out.

The ANGELS ARE SO INTERESTING! SERIOUSLY! I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET ALL OF THEM - including Lucifer. XD

My heart shifts between Dean and Sam depending on where the show arc is. :)

As for THE BEST EPISODE - I am not sure which one you are referring to, but I am going to hazard a guess with some posts I've seen of your Sam love and the "free-will" shift for the angels and say - "Head of the Pin" (4x16)? :) Where Sam chooses (and the "I can kill now") and Castiel's wonderful doubts and Anna's "you need to basically grow up" advice?

Your excitement about Lucifer is not misplaced!
