Supernatural Season Eight

[certainthings]

Well, isn't that just fantastic.

Spoilers for season eight. And these spoilers are just based on bits and pieces I've read and/or skimmed on tumblr. I have not read or seen anything myself. So, I don't know how accurate they are.



Uhm. Fuck you? Fuck you with a rusty hammer?

Castiel is going to get more screen time and Sam and Dean are going to be split up?

Oh, yay! That's so brilliant. Because I really really love the Dean and Castiel show.

Like a lot of people I started watching Supernatural because I heard it was about these two brothers who fight monsters.

But then when they brought in Castiel and he became Dean's bestest buddy EVER, I was like. 'Oh, man. This is the show they should have started with.'

Because fuck Sam, right?


And yes, I do plan on watching the show. I plan on seeing it through to the very very end. And I might not like a lot of it, but I will always like some of it.

There was a time when I would have said, "I don't care what they do with the show, I will see this through until the very end," but today made me realize that, no, sadly those times are long over. I'm not sure I will watch S8 at all. It all depends on what happens in the finale tomorrow, really.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I get that. I'm 99% sure that I will see it through to the end even if it ends up killing me. But I have stopped watching other shows even though I had no issues with them at all. So. I dunno.

I just. I just really enjoy looking at Sam.

Maybe I'll watch the show on mute.

IAWTC. I told myself that I'd hold on to the end, but the fuckery is just too much for me. I can't even with SPN anymore.

[eilan.livejournal.com]

Why? Why are they breaking them up? Just no.

And yes, I do plan on watching the show. I plan on seeing it through to the very very end. And I might not like a lot of it, but I will always like some of it.
THIS. THIS SO MUCH. YES. THIS!!!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I really don't know. I don't want to. I'm trying to avoid spoilers as much as I can. And since this season isn't even over, I don't know how accurate S8 spoilers can be.

Meh. That does not sound like a show I'd be interested in watching.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It does sounds like a pretty terrible show.

[cloex-brosluvr.livejournal.com]

Agree 100%

I did not sign up for the Dean and Castiel hour! I signed up for the two brothers WHO HUNT TOGETHER!

AMEN.

That is a great hashtag. I love that it rhymes. If I remember, I may borrow and use it every Wednesday during the new season.

Part of me is hoping it's all just lies right now.

[tabularassa.livejournal.com]

Well, fuck that shit. I still plan on watching it to the bitter end, but WHY bring Castiel back? WHY? Boo and fuckery.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Because the fans love him so much? That's my only thought.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what it is - point blank and period. No one will convince me otherwise.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I was thinking the same. I was thisclose to adding, 'And I don't care if the writers or crew say something different.'

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

I started watching this show because it was about 2 brothers driving around, fighting monsters/investigating urban legends, and it would be "a horror movie every week."

Yeah...this is why I quit partway thru this season. Fuck it, I'm over having my hopes crushed every stupid week. And I'm over the misogyny, too.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I just don't get why they had to go and change the whole damn show. Two brothers driving around to different states fighting monsters and/or investigating urban legends was a pretty damn good show.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Because CHANGE IS GOOD and ALL SHOWS CHANGE and THAT'S JUST THE WAY THINGS EVOLVE. *eye roll* That's the buzzword when it comes to defending a revamp of the whole damn show - "the show is evolving". There's evolving and mutating. I don't know what the fuck this mutant show is I've been watching since season four.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I'll watch the season premiere. If I can't stand it, I'm done. I've just wasted too much of my energy on this stupid show. I still haven't watched last Friday's ep, and I kinda dread having to sit through it. If that ain't a clue I should stop, I dunno what is.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Heh. Even though, I'm 99% sure I plan on seeing this show through to the bitter end, I'm already dreading it. And also, I'm not looking forward to all the "Well, if you don't like it. Don't watch it." posts I'm going to see. Directed at everyone not just me. And hey, I know that. But. Easier said than done and all that jazz.

Ugh.

Anyway. Part of me hopes you keep on watching because I do love your reviews. :)

[goonies-nsd.livejournal.com]

Part of me thinks the only way they can create tension any more is by splitting them up. I mean, anyone who is killed can come back, if something evil (or even good) is threatening to "possess" someone, the powers that be will make them whole again even if they kill themselves or get killed, people exist as ghosts, anyone can kill anything at this point. We've learned to not mourn anyone we love because they'll come back. All the main ingredients that made the show tense/good have been totally butchered, imo.

That being said, BOOOOOOOOO. hahaha

And I am probably going to watch until the bitter-shark-jumped-10th-season end. I'm not sure how much I like that.

In conclusion: SAM.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

We've learned to not mourn anyone we love because they'll come back.

Unless they're women.

[goonies-nsd.livejournal.com]

ohsnap.

So true though.

Excellent point.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

There is that. But. I just don't know that we need all that tension and suspense and what not. I mean CSI has been on for 11 years and it's been the same format since the beginning and it's still a pretty amazing show.

[goonies-nsd.livejournal.com]

HM. Good point. I guess that's what made it so good for me. The ~unknown~... but it feels like all the mystery has been taken out.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

Uhm. Fuck you? Fuck you with a rusty hammer?

That's how this entire show makes me feel.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[framedhim.livejournal.com]

Yours is the only, only spoiler thingamabob I've clicked...and I've seen it posted everywhere. At first I was all, nuhuh.nope.smh, and then I saw this and knew you felt the same?yes? about spoilery stuff and then...it was~ ok, just a peek.

Close y'alls eyes if you don't like the foul or better yet, skip this comment ~ goddamnit on a stick and fuckin hell to boot

Castiel char. and I walk a thin fucking line, what with me wanting to just leave a show, one of only five I enjoy with all my cold, little heart, and it just makes me want to ...say foul things. Damn it. endrant/ So, that doesn't sound pleasing. I hope it pans out as I'll continue to watch.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible but it's near impossible on tumblr. They're right there in your face. And I just kept seeing the same basic thing over and over again. And well, after awhile you start to believe it.

But. There is a part of me hoping like hell that it's not really that. Or not that at all. Something. I mean, obviously they haven't even started filming yet. Maybe things will change. Maybe they're not really what they seem.

[framedhim.livejournal.com]

And well, after awhile you start to believe it.

Don't I know it. this. I've even seen vid posted of Jared speaking things spoilery where I've left half the screen blank. Eh.

There is a part of me hoping like hell that it's not really that. Or not that at all. Something. I mean, obviously they haven't even started filming yet. Maybe things will change. Maybe they're not really what they seem.

Miss lady, I'm right there with you. Hoping. Like, okay, they've not even started filming yet so why am I getting in a dander?? But I love Show, and just the thought of the boys being separated...nope.

As you said. Maybe things will change and we shall see. C'mon CW writers, don't let us down.

I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible but it's near impossible on tumblr. They're right there in your face. And I just kept seeing the same basic thing over and over again.

This is one reason why I gave up my Tumblr. Most SPN fans who friended me adored Castiel, to the point of posting 5 bazillion "OMGCASTIELISTHEBESTTHINGEVER!!!111!!1!!!!!!!!#LOVECAS4EVER" posts that made me want to spork things.

[bitterbird.livejournal.com]

seriously this is so different from the show it started off with, it is crazy

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They really just ought to rename the show. Obviously Castiel's name would in the title because he's such a special snowflake.

[werty30.livejournal.com]

The only good way to split them up is when one of them is in danger and the other has to do everything to save him. Like in the second half of Mystery Spot. Otherwise, please no.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I suppose. And if they're both alone searching for one another, sure. But if Dean and Castiel are together and Sam's all by his lonesome? fuck that.

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Castiel is going to get more screen time and Sam and Dean are going to be split up?

Oh goody, because that's what I always wanted to see, THE CAS AND DEAN SHOW.

Fucking.

Hell.

DO NOT FUCKING WANT.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[santacarlagypsy.livejournal.com]

Okay, I will definitely be seriously pissed off if this is correct because I'm in it now basically for Sam Winchester. And Sam&Dean, obviously. So... NO. (And, seriously, someone needs to beat the Holy Living Fuck out of dumbass Castiel and then lock him up somewhere where he will never be heard from again. Just saying.)

But honestly, I wouldn't be too worried about this. Because Jared tends to be full of shit when it comes to giving spoilers, I have found out. (It was an interview with Jared that this stuff originated from.) Because I always listen to all of the roundtable interviews of Jared's from Comic Con - with all the spoilery things for the upcoming season. And then I get all excited (or worried) about them. Only to see none of them really come to pass. I don't know if he's told to do that or if he just makes shit up as he goes along or what.

As for me, I really am with the show until the very end. But unlike the first four seasons when I overwhelmingly loved the show just for the show - I'm now basically just all about Jared - I have to admit. I have, unfortunately, found myself so ridiculously, fangirlishly in love with the bastard that I will happily watch anything just to selfishly have him on my screen every week.

I guess that Jensen guy isn't too bad to look at, either. ;)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That is comforting, that most of Jared's spoilers are bullshit. *crosses fingers*

And yeah. I'm mostly in it for Jared/Sam as well.
