Supernatural : 6x15 : The French Mistake

[certainthings]

First of all it wasn't AS horrible as I thought it was going to be. However, I still thought it was stupid and I didn't like it.

And I am looking forward to (hopefully) iconning Genevieve. But man, I don't like that she actually changed her name.

Right then.

First their lives are a series of books and then it's a tv show and yet, there was no mention of the books. No, snarky comment about how tv shows based on books are never as good. No, it was like the books had never even existed.

I did laugh when they were 'acting' mostly because well, uh. Their "bad acting" wasn't - in my opinion - all that different from when they are being (over) dramatic in their normal acting.

I liked seeing Genevieve but I didn't care for her "character" ... and I really really hope that Jared and Genevieve's home isn't as douchey as that place was. But if they do have an alpaca in the backyard, that would be cool. Probably stole the idea from the Echolls.

Why did they not tell us why !Jared and !Jensen weren't talking?

I'm glad they got someone more attractive (sorta kinda) to play Clif.

Uhm. Hmm.

Oh! When !extra killed !Kripke that was kinda hot. I love when there's walking and guns being fired and no hesitation and yeah.

Misha was ... I don't even know. I guess he was the ... Hey, wait. How come !Misha knew what was going on (I mean, knew that he was an actor and such) but !Jared and !Jensen didn't? What did I miss that explained that part?

!Kripke and !Singer's reaction to !Misha's death was (and yeah, I'm going to use the "r" word - so if that offends you, please look away) retarded. If this was meant to be *their* real world and someone died? Would they REALLY have 'acted' like that? I don't think so. That bothered me a lot. Perhap's that's why I wasn't at all moved or bothered by their deaths.

I really really enjoy ... that guy. Whose character name or real name I can never remember. *looks it up* Sebastian Roché/Balthazar.

Mostly, I'm glad it's over and I hope to hell they never ever EVER do another episode like this again.

I find that if I don't over-analyze it, I liked it. I didn't like that they killed Misha, and I don't like that I finally have to stop lying to myself about Gen's acting (at least in regards to the set of Supernatural, and I can only assume that being around Jared sucks all the skill out of her), and I really don't like that I think the reason they kept pushing the "Jared and Jensen really don't talk" angle was because they KNEW fandom would turn around and make it a ~thing meaning that they MUST talk or have a bunch of sex and that they for real actually don't talk because that just bothers me...but makes sense. Unlike that last sentence of mine.

It felt like they were making fun of themselves. I think they left Clif out of the show in DEFERENCE to the fans. I think they realize that we take that show way more seriously than any of them do, lol. And I like that.

Your backwards exclamation points threw me off so much I had to re-read this post about 10 times, lol. NEVER AGAIN, SMIDGE, PLEASE. My brain can't handle changes like that.

She changed her name? I didn't notice! Boo. I hate when women decide they love their husbands more than themselves. This isn't the 1700s anymore, ladies. You're no longer chattel. You no longer have to let go of yourself and become your husband's property. PISSSSSSSSSSES me off when women do that.

Also, she was fucking hot. As was Sebastian. I DID enjoy when Jensen-as-Dean-as-Jensen called Singer a douche for creating a character with his name, because that might be part of the reason I've never warmed up to Bobby. Or it could be my semi-irrational loathing for Jim. And! I LOVED THE PICTURE OF JARED ON A HORSE. I DIED LAUGHING, SORRY.

You have to go into these meta episodes with your brain turned off. That's my opinion. I watched it with Gavin because I figured this is one of the episodes he's old enough to see, and he loved it. So - brain off, or become 12 with no expectations, and you'll LOVE it.

I'm going to have to rewatch this ep, I missed a handful of things - like Jared on a horse. I need that in my life.

Sometimes I think that one of the reasons Jared and Sandy broke up is because she said that she wouldn't take his name if they got married.

I see so many people commenting on Genevieve's acting and how it's not good and I don't think it's *good* either though I don't think it's *bad* but I honestly don't think she's worse than the two main guys on the show.

When he's at his desk on the laptop, there's a huge picture of him on a horse. I died.

I don't disagree with you about Sandy. And...I mean. Padalecki is a commitment, man. A lifetime of correcting people when they mispronounce it. Nah. Not for me, lol.

Gen's acting on SPN is not as bad as people think, and not as good as I used to think, lol. And Jared's been bad as Sam for the last 4 seasons - but I REALLY liked him last night. I think Jensen used to be fucking brilliant as Dean. Can't pinpoint when he started dialing it in, but I think probably around the end of S3.

They're all better off the show. I mean, all of them. Jim, Misha, all of them. Supernatural sucks them dry, lol.
