Supernatural 5x20 Rant (amongst other episodes)...
...I love this show dearly. I do. I've been watching it since Pilot, because it was just the absolute perfect show for my best friend and I. It felt like it was made specifically for us (I mean, we used to hunt for ghosts and demons when we were little!). I'm still upset about them going onto a 6th season, though. I'd finally accepted it would be over, and then they go and change everything on me...
But recently it's been bothering me. Last night's episode didn't help with that. I am a total Sam girl 100%. I am not ashamed to admit it. I loved him even all through season 4, because it's not like he was trying to be evil. I mean, he made himself turn into Dean. So, yeah. I loved him even then.
I still love him. But I'm getting really annoyed with how much crap he keeps getting. We only got, what, one redeeming episode for him, two weeks ago? Then we have last week, where he's not really doing much, which yeah. Okay. There's this whole bit with Dean or whatever. (And him telling Gabriel to kill his own brother starts a whole different rant about needing to smack some sense into the oldest Winchester brother...) But then this week, he gets to have his brother trusting a demon?
What the hell?! Through seasons 3 and 4 all we hear is Dean telling Sam not to trust Ruby. Yeah, yeah. That turned out to be good advice. And I never liked or trusted Ruby, so it worked out rather nicely when she finally got stabbed through. But still, Dean had trouble trusting Ruby, who did nothing but help them through the 3rd season. And who was still helping them through a ton of season 4 (hello, she let herself get captured and tortured...). But all of a sudden, Dean's like, 'sure, we can trust a demon. He's chill, dude'.
What are you smoking? Gah! And my best friend is a Dean girl, my other friends just don't care for Sam, so I'm stuck in a room watching this episode with people going, "You have no room to talk Sam..."
But, come on!
And I totally understand Sam getting pissed and wanting to kill Brady. Because, how horrible is that? Having to find out that a demon introduced you to the love of your life, just so he could rip her away from you. Of course he's going to go bat-shit crazy and lock Dean in a bathroom. And he didn't kill the guy then, anyways, so it was all peachy.
Gah! *flails arms* I'm just getting tired of Sam always being the bad guy and the one who's shoved aside. Because, imo, throughout the season I've always seen Dean as giving up first. And then guess what? He gave up first. And now he's totally cool with being in league with a demon and acting like there's nothing wrong... >.< Sure, maybe Crowley is going to be crazy helpful and whatever, but I still don't have to like it. And I don't have to agree with Dean or act like he's so awesome just because his brother can't seem to catch a break.
Besides, I'm still sore over last week. 'Cause, what? We can have a Demon on Team Free Will, but an archangel would be bad?
I haven't seen anything about the upcoming 2 episodes, and I don't want to. I can't stand getting spoilers. But I really hope they make Sam look good again, because I think his character needs it. He doesn't deserve all the crap he's been getting...
