I don't think S6 was going to go anywhere that Kripke didn't want it to go, although he wasn't the one taking it there, since he was still on staff in a prominent position.
Which strengthens my argument that Sera is in a new position. Even aside from Kripkes continued large presence, she had to resolve a situtation Kripke had set up. Season 7 is dealing with problems and big bads she set up. This is the first season she can play with the toys her way. (Still subject to a backstory and a show culture, and a budget and such.)
My Bloody Valentine
is on SyFy tonight at 9 p.m. for anyone who wants to see it and hasn't yet.
There's Jensen in a hoodie!, very angsty and brooding. That's probably the ... only recommendation for it, unless you really get off on coal mines.
MBV has a stupid cheaty cheap ending. Sheesh.
Friday The 13th
totally wins. Although I think
Devour
beats the Christmas Cottage crap.
Oh, yeah.
MBV
has the worst ending EVER. Hated it.
I actually really enjoyed the remake of
Friday the 13th.
And I sat through
Devour,
which is more than I can say for
The Christmas Cottage.
I made it through about twenty minutes and wanted to puke.
Hell, I sat through
House of Wax,
and Jared was dead halfway through it.
I slept through more of
The Christmas Cottage
than
Devour,
but I was on drugs for
Devour,
so there's that.
House of Wax
was okay. They need to make movies in genres I actually enjoy, though. Enough of stepping out to follow my faves. They need to come to me.
I watched Flight of the Phoenix for Jared. Spent the last two-thirds of the movie expecting him to wander back, but I guess his character was really most sincerely dead. Oops, was that a spoiler?
gorgeous D/C art by gikun [link] The rest of the post pisses me off, though. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
She's a ridiculously talented artist, although I'm not always feeling the emotions--but I think that's good, because she's a nutjob crazyfen I don't actually want on my side. She's the hugging pillow chick who wanted to send one to Vicky.
I'm pissed off at all of the slice of D/C fandom that's pissed off with the Cas's departure. I just really don't want to read it. His vessel is of unknown status, and we had Dean almost cry about his departure and keep a token of his presence.
Which may well have gone up with Bobby's house, but still.
Bobby's house! No more home base for boys. Back to all motels and squatting all the time.
Between burning down Bobby's and dissolving Godstiel into old school monsters, it really is like they are taking things back a few seasons, in a good way.
It puts me off because of the tone, honestly. "CASTIEL!@!!! BUT I LOVES HIM!!!!1!"
When you sound like a thirteen-year-old having a tantrum, I'm not taking you too seriously.
I think the show has been pretty clear about making goodbyes permanent when they need to, and last night was not for Cas. I think we'll see him again, one way or another, even if it's not much, or long.
I think what peeves me is that they're screaming about how he didn't get a "proper sendoff," but what do they want? We've had several Cas-centered episodes, and a Jimmy-centered episode! And Sam and Dean and Bobby all fighting to save him, and showing grief that's he's gone.
Do they really want a montage, with weepy music?
