I am still burned that WPIX in New York has decided to pre-empt what appear to be the two pivotal mid-season episodes of Supernatural -- this week's and next week's -- and if I'm not mistaken, the show goes on holiday hiatus after next week until January? Fuck you all over again, WPIX.

Here my Flist is buzzing like mad about last night's episode and I've let myself get spoiled like mad becaue I'm just so furious at being left out. And OMG the screencaps! Do we actually get to see Sam fixing Dean's Number One, All-Time Bestselling Fanfic Injury, The Dislocated Shoulder? AND I MISSED IT!!?!?! This is AGONY, people!

But what I've really been thinking, after reading some comments, is that the show went ahead and snuck a couple of love interests into the story while we weren't looking. Because Sam and Ruby are obviously lovers now (I don't buy that they only did it one desperate time) and it sounds like they're setting this Anna up to be some sort of romantic match for Dean. So what, we've got Sam/Ruby as the Demonic Couple of the Year and Dean/Anna as their angelic counterpart? Those writers are sneaky sonsofbitches, I'll give them that.

Really, I should wait until tomorrow night to pass judgement, but I'm already dismayed about this potential storyline. Romance bores me, especially in genre shows like this. The season started off so powerfully and I really hope it doesn't devolve into Sam and Dean and their girlfriends facing off. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I can't say about next week's episode but IMO Sam/Ruby is not a love-match, not during that summer, and not now. I for one would be very upset, and surprised, if they actually have feelings for each other. But of course, with Kripke, you never know.
