People love "Changing Channels" because they enjoy watching the boys cut up
Yeah, I know. I don't. Remember way back when when they did humor episodes like "Hell House"? "Changing Channels" can't hold a candle to that episode. I really, really dislike how they incorporate these humor episodes (started -- surprise, surprise -- with season three); I think it's really damaging to a dramatic storyarc to mix in this comedy. Which is not to say that there can never be any humor, but I sure prefer "The voice says I'm almost out of minutes!" or "Uriel is the funniest angel in the garrison, ask anyone" kind of humor. You know? I don't like the tonal whiplash SPN tends to give me.
Do they think it makes them sound deep?
And do they even try to make sense? I mean. Abel and Cain. Yeah, that would make the Winchesters special. Like everyone else on the planet. Also, Cain didn't have kids, did he? Did Abel, or was it Seth who continued on that bloodline? My Biblical knowledge is vague at best but even know to research before dropping a line like that.
Maybe they do think they sound deep. But IIRC back when "In My Time of Dying" aired and John summoned Azazel a fan looked up the symbol he was using and he was actually summoning Azazel, and this over a season before we actually learned his name! When did they lose that kind of thoughtfulness?
That was a goddamn brutal episode, and not in a good way
Oh god, I know. I love the opening montage with Dean and wee!Sam but the suckage of heaven, not to mention the lingering on Sam rejecting Dean over and over again. And, again, I ask: why do they choose to do that? They could have gone the route of Sam being excluded from the circle of Dean and Mary's love, and show how sad his happiest memories really are -- Thanksgiving with some random family and a dog (the ultimate unconditional love). But they didn't.
Yeah, don't even remind me. Ridiculous and inexplicable sounds about right. I just. I don't even. How did Sera go from writing "Are You There, God?" to "Twelve Minutes to Midnight"?
I can add you to my list if you would you like to read it
I would like to read it! Only could you add amoralnostalgia instead? I use this one for lurking only, basically (also I made it before I turned 18 because, well, I'm sure you can figure out why), and that one...well I don't keep it very updated but if someone wants to add me I direct them to it.
As for that post and "slavering fangirls" like her, I wish I could enjoy it, but I get so fucking annoyed I usually can't even bring myself to start a debate.
