Isn't "Bewitched Gone Wrong" an oxymoron?
More of a redundancy. "Bewitched Gone Right" would be an oxymoron.
Though I must confess, I loved Bewitched as a kid, and still have a soft spot for it. I think I'd enjoy a version where Endora succeeds in killing Darin, or permanently changing him into armadillo or whatever.
Kill Darrin? Who are you?!
SPN: Saw a tweet that the writers who wrote "Route 666" are writing the "Shut Up, Dr. Phil" episode. Yay?
Since I've avoided any rewatches of "Route 666" didn't end after Dean's naked back, I'm trying to remember the ultimate fate of the racist ghost truck... did it get blown up? Is that what they'll be doing to the Spike/Cordelia partnership?
Racist Truck!! That's it. I didn't recognize it by it's proper title.
And yet the writers have been hired to write again. Boggles the mind, doesn't it?
Yep. Did they totally not get fandom's reaction? Maybe we all just think that the show caters to us and really they forget that we are here.
eta: Darn, now I'm going to have to be extra lenient with the episode because I'll just assume I've got it in my mind to hate it.
On the other hand the DID give us semi-naked Dean, so they do have some idea of what we want to see.
If everyone with writing credits on a bad episode was not allowed to write another, there'd be no TV left out there. Remember, people who didn't write it (like Kripke) also brought it to screen.
I'm not a fan of Kripke so I'm good with that knowledge. I still think that anything that worked with the show was either due to other people or a lucky mistake on his part. What? The guy just bugs.
If one guy had five years of lucky breaks, i want to rub his head before I buy lottery tickets. Everything that comes out of the writer's room is a joint effort, and has his smell all over it.
I'm not interested in reading interviews with him, or anything, like I used to follow Joss. But my current favourite show is his baby, and I can't not give him cred. He's to praise and to blame in some degree for everything I like about it, and everything I hate.
Even now! Well, maybe less so in S7, but all those people trying to run Sera out of town on rails neglected to acknowledge Kripke still had an influential role in the direction of the show. Yes, it's all on her, as showrunner, but it's not
all
all on her. There were other producers supporting her too. So to vilify her and still exalt Eric is just dumb,
Sorry. I have writer/creator issues. I needed to get that off my chest.
