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

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Large parts of season one are simply unwatchable, to the extent that we suspect that they didn't bother to actually put all of the episodes on the DVD set, and that when selected, the menu screen simply says "You want to watch the episode about the racist truck? Really?"

Shit like this makes me want to go all stabby. (at reviewer, not Morgana). Author of article didn't enjoy season one? Here, let me point out the door to the fandom exit.

I may be a little overly defensive of the series. This is the reason I can't read about it on twop.

Cracked is Cracked. Never expect to see anything other than unserious and childish humor there.

Occasionally too sexist and offensive for me, but often hilariously funny.

Because books.

I really don't think "large parts" of S1 are unwatchable, though. Even Route 666.

Well, you know what I keep claiming: after about 6 rewatches, you start to enjoy it.

Should I get out too? Because I didn't like season 1, and in fact rolled my eyes and quit watching midway through some of the episodes I caught way back when. It was only in mid-season 2 that I got interested enough to give it another try, and liked what I saw enough to keep returning regularly.

I think it's different when it's a reviewer. Then it's someone in a public forum (with a broad audience or not) who seems to be having fun shitting on something you love. That always seems icky to me, too. That's what TWoP has always seemed to be to me, which is why I don't go there.

I'm happy to have you, Matt!

The people at Cracked aren't what I'd call reviewers

Anyhow, I love Farscape, but I'm willing to admit that the first 8 or so episodes were really, really not good.

Oh, I'm sure. There are definitely sucky episodes of SPN (and Buffy, and Angel, and X-Files, etc.). But the culture of meanness sort of escapes me. Too many people who think it's awesome to be as snarky as possible for laughs. It just got old for me a long time ago.

Plus, fandom is my happy place. It's sort of like, I can say when my husband is being an asshat or my kids are being pains in the ass, but no one else better say it, you know?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well, you know what I keep claiming: after about 6 rewatches, you start to enjoy it.

You keep saying it. I keep saying that the wall has more chemistry with Dean than the actress playing Cassie. Oh. You meant the racist truck stuff? Yeah, that does.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Here's an E!Online piece about fanvids that mentions the JJs. Oh, and Twilight, too.

Um. Sorry about the abrupt lack of segue. Skipped to post, and then backread. Bad me.

I'm with Amy, Matt. Any viewer is welcome to his or her own opinion about any episode, run of episodes, season, or series as a whole, to post and discuss those opinions. I'll join in. But like Aims says, a reviewer just seems mean, since there's usually no discussion involved. And I'm a little defensive, too. Holdover from when nobody but fans apparently thought much of the show.
