Supernatural; Sympathy For The Devil

Sep 14, 2009 21:48

I was going to do a picspam/review but then decided to do them seperately since I figured you all would want to enjoy the pretty without my ramblings. Any way under the cut since this will be chock full of spoilers.

( You are nine kinds of crazy, boy. )

I loved the episode, too. It was powerful, and emotional, and epic, but at the heart of it it, it was still our boys. I like the way they're setting things up for this season. I no longer have the conflict of trying to reconcile what's happening on the show with my own personal religious beliefs, I finally breached that wall, and now I can go back to just enjoying the story Kripke is telling ( ... )

yes, the boys will come back from this. They won't be the same, but why should they be? How can one go through what they've been through and remain unchanged? I do, however, believe they will eventually be stronger, and yes, Dean will trust Sam again. And I can't wait to see how they get there.

I know they'll get there. I like you think they will have a stronger bond.

And let me tell you, I have seen the proof of that on my own flist.I've read some meta and yeah they don't seem bothered by it I guess I kind of resent like you said a generic label being placed on fandom and I think the *wink,wink,nudge,nudge* thing got old fast. It was funny the first time around but not so much, at least for, this time ( ... )

They don't let me out, I ESCAPE, and then they drag me back in. :D

My grandfather was a Presbyterian minister, and while I think I have a pretty fluid attitude toward religion as a whole, there are certain core concepts I'm just not comfortable messing with. Angels who were "dicks," and a God who seemed to have turned his back on humanity, were just too WRONG for me to accept. So I found myself fighting with the episodes as I watched them, and actually getting upset.

I was so surprised to find myself taking it all so seriously, and personally. I mean, it's a TV show! And Kripke doesn't have an agenda; he isn't trying to do anything more than tell a good story. I could accept the demons, spirits, werewolves, and vampires on the show as pure fantasy, no problem, so why the big fuss over the angels? Obviously I had some unresolved issues with my own personal belief system that I needed to explore. And ironically, it was Supernatural that led me to do exactly that, leaving me free to enjoy the show for what it was once more.

I'm glad you can escape. I'm imagining you doing a Shawshank type of escape now. LOL. I wouldn't consider myself religious at this point of my life but I find it funny how those ideals are so ingrained. They come up so unexpectedly at times that I surprise myself. Ironically though Supernatural has made me once again interested in Theology again something at one time I considered studying. Life can be so funny. I'm glad your watching though it's cool to talk to you about the eppys.
