Oh, man. :( I haven't watched the new episodes since the hiatus, but *this* is why I haven't - I have to spoil myself because I just can't be taken off guard by stuff like this.
Yes, show. Way to harsh the buzz of an otherwise very satisfying episode.
Honestly, I'm starting to feel like Show is the abusive boyfriend. You know, the I'm always sure will go back to treating me right next week, and who says he only hurts me because he loves me so much, and who I swear I'm going to leave but then he does something truly kind and generous and loving, and I'm done for. Plus, I keep looking back at those early days and remembering how happy we were--how good we were for each other, why we fell in love in the first place--and hoping that we can find that again.
p.s. The "abusive boyfriend" tv show metaphor is way too strong for how I feel about Show right now. If abusive boyfriend's volume is 11, then SPN is at, like, a 4 for me. But it's that cycle, you know? You love it, does wrong by you, but you love it anyway...
Anyhow, was thinking on my way home that this sounded like a) Show is really awful lately, and b) I'm in constant agony and turmoil over my love for it. Neither is true.
This is a placeholder reply to your comment because I really want to talk about this but my brain has shut off tonight and I'm going to be super busy tomorrow. But I'm not ignoring/avoiding you! And we must discuss!
I know, it's ongoing fail and it doesn't show signs of stopping. But I've managed to compartmentalize it, having ranted openly about it repeatedly. It helps that I now have zero expectations from the show regarding female characters and if there is any good it's like WHAT SURPRISE!AWESOME. Like Mary. We had Mary in this ep and I guess that helped me with it a little, and mostly because the ep played my like a violin and hit my emotional sweet spots repeatedly.
I'll get amazing female characters from other sources. I have lots of 'em! SPN is good at what it's good at and sucks what it sucks at, but what it's good at had better be top grade (which to me, this week, it was).
