Supernatural 5x08

[certainthings]

This is probably going to be all over the place.

So, I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either.

I have no problem believing that Buffy Summers is The Chosen One but for some reason I cannot believe that Sam and Dean Winchester have also been "chosen" for different roles but yeah. I'm not sure why that is.

The Trickster's version of 'Supernatural' is pretty much how I see/view every ep, just the colours are darker as is the lighting of the show.

I was really really fucking LOVING The Trickster right up until we learned that not so secretly he's really GABRIEL in DISGUISE. HOMG!!! That seems pulled out of an ass to me. Maybe not, but there it is. It was great learning that he's stronger than Castiel.

Dean said he wished they were back on TV. But uh, has he forgotten that they're actually in a series of books? Slightly different but also a little bit of six of one a half dozen of the other.

Randy: Careful, this is the moment when the supposably dead killer comes back to life for one last scare.
Sidney: Not in my movie.

I don't quite understand why they don't just get a hold of Chuck and perhaps start re-writing one of his manuscripts. Or write ahead of the game. Write their own ending.

I did quite enjoy that when Dean met McDreamy Dr. Sexy he looked more smitten and googly eyed than he ever has whenever he's looked at a girl that he's found breathing attractive.

The duct tape over Castiel's mouth was a real nice look for him.

I wonder if the doctor's (nurse's?) speech to Sam about him being scared and thinking that he's not able to love again was all fiction or if we were supposed to read between the lines.

Dean said that he hated procedural (I think I maybe spelled that word wrong) cop shows because they're all the same. Going behind the scenes, I'm assuming this is the POV of the writers of Supernatural or the writer of this ep. But what I would like to know is do they not realize that their show at least in the earlier seasons was very very similar to all of those 'cop' shows? Or, well I think so.

On CSI, Criminal Minds, Medium ... and a slew of others, there's a body. There's investigating. There's research. There's finding out who dunnit.

On Supernatural there was a body. There's investigating. There's research. There's finding out who (or in most cases what) dunnit.

And sure, the investigating and research techniques are different but the end result is the still the same isn't it? Find the bad guy.

This is also why I don't understand how some people find shows like Supernatural scary or scary at times but can watch those other kinds of shows.

But then I don't understand a lot of things.

Oh! Oh oh ho!

"Would your mother and father still be alive if Sam hadn't been born?" (or however it was worded)
"Yes."

FUCK THAT AND FUCK YOU.

Is there a greater chance that they'd still be alive? Perhaps. But one cannot know for certain if they would have been, and I get that it was fiction (I almost just typed 'fuction") and was a silly game show but they're still implying that shit and again I say FUCK YOU. Stop blaming Sam for shit he has no control over. RAGES & ROARS

Yup, but with less human death and more things the general population has no to little interest in. Or something *nods* (And I'm saying this mostly because of the ratings for CSI's, Grey's, et al.)

I think it was 'Salvation' at the end of Season 1, but yes, that would possibly interest me more. Also maybe even though it's a cop out I would love for them to do this - change one thing and as a RESULT have NO MORE CASTIEL. Or maybe I'm just overly picky.

I've had some time to stop my seething hate at that but dude, I think we get it, Kripke wants to be Dean or he wishes he was. Also, man the thing that bothers me about it is, I don't care if it's in Japanese that sounds like you're wishing he was dead period. Which, what. the. hell. That makes me VERY uncomfortable, still. In fact I hated that whole game show TV shot, TBH.

I think they're trying to get us all to hate Sam incase he does say 'yes' to Lucifer, which, fuck that if that's the case because the glimpse we got in 5.04 I loved.

Oh, that'd be awesome if they could change that.

The more they lay all the blame on Sam the more I want him to say yes, and then I want him to start slapping people.

Would it? TBH, I'd at least loved for them to have 'Salvation' go different and maybe have John die in the cabin and then see what would happen but if we're going to change a bit, I wonder if they could have changed things in 'Bedtime Stories' and have Sam make a deal with his soul in exchange for Dean's or something and then.. yeah [totally not going to go off on a tangent] but each one he could end up saving Dean and although it probably would've cost him they equal no Castiel.

SERIOUSLY. At least Lucifer said he wasn't going to lie or trick him like everyone else around him. I'm down for him slapping people because it's getting annoying and insane. EVERYONE HAD THEIR HAND IN THE APOCALYPSE COOKIE JAR, SPN WRITERS. It wasn't just Sam. It was EVERYBODY.

Sometimes, I think the fans keep better track than the people working on the show which what is that all about? Hmmpf.

And I can't spell tonight apparently *facepalm*

I really do wonder if the writers actually remember/know this.

Judging from our reactions? Helllllllllllll no. *tiny shaking fists of rage* They just want a scape goat so that if Sam does say yes Dean (much like canon says he is now or the perception is anyway, idk whichever lol) can play 'hero' and Sam can be 'evil' and that's really what I think they're doing.

*tiny shaking fists of rage* is appropriate at this point, IMO. I might be wrong but I doubt it. And yeah, Sam saying yes just to kick some ass? I wouldn't blame him at this point.
