Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

I'm usually too busy racing for the back button to try pronouncing the name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You don't like stories with Grandma Campbell? What did she do to you?

I can't help but think that stories with 155 chapters are broken. Like--you don't need 155 chapters to tell your story. You're doing it wrong. Please stop immediately.

No, I have no idea why it never piqued my interest back when it was a widdle babby story.

Because books.

Oh, Jensen. I just caught the end of My Bloody Valentine on SyFy, and god is it bad.

And yet! Still better than Stonehenge Apocalypse.

Stonehenge Apocalypse knows it's bad. I don't feel like My Bloody Valentine was rolling around in its own cheese the same way. I mean, you don't feel bad for Misha, do you? He just walked in off the road in his street clothes and intoned "IT WAS A ROBOT HEAD".

Here's a piece of trivia for you--this movie meant that Misha has acted with two of Colin's girlfriends, and one of Colin's brother's girlfriends. That's statistically...something, right?

The difference, for me, is that I'm sure *Misha* embraced the cheese and enjoyed the hell out of getting paid for it. Jensen, probably not so much. And no, MBV didn't get its own B-movie badness in the same way, sadly.

I think Jared's remake of Friday the 13th had a great sense of humor, but it also ended up being genuinely scarier than MBV, at least for gore and startle scares.

And then there was Jared on a motorcycle. Happy sigh.

I feel MBV did have some payoffs, though. I will always appreciate:

I mean, this is a net positive for the world, and Supernatural didn't seem to be picking up the precise slack. Although Skin was a brave attempt on many fronts.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I still watch MBV all the time. Because, you know, JENSEN.

But his portrayal of Tom was sort of angsty psychotic Dean in Sam's hoodie.

Warm cherry pie:

Wow, Jensen's adam's apple really works in the closeup .gif of him with the big eyes. Is Jared's that noticeable? I can't remember.

I thought MBV was absolutely a narrative cheat, FWIW. First off, promo art like the first I linked kinda spells it out, and mysteries that go back and show you that you literally did not see what they'd originally shown you--I think that's cheap and clumsy.

That's what I hate about it -- the ending is pure suck. I think Devour's ending might make more sense.
