W&Ping inthread is kinda awkward for the West Coast because we have to unsubscribe while the East and middle bits of the country watch. Or just get totally spoiled. So it's not really that we don't want you to see our reactions, it's just logistical.
The genderfails for me were twofold: oversexualising female victims, and caving to fangirl aversion to regular female characters. But neither, obviously, enough to overcome my love for the show. And the women I like, I like a lot. Ellen and Mary and Pamela and Missouri rock. Meg, as played by Nikki Aycox was pretty cool too. Ruby, as played by Katie Cassidy, I kinda liked. But Ruby in general makes me all overprotective of Sam, so it's hard for me to appreciate her with any sort of sanity.
ita absolutely can speak for me on SPN and women from now on. Because this is precisely how I feel.
Okay, unsub time now.
On rewatch, I think Castiel is a little more badass in these two episodes than he is later.
I miss Castiel's badassness. I enjoy snickering at him along with everyone else, but as a character I think the sense of awe and otherness we received from him at the beginning would have brought more depth to the show than the occasional cheap laugh at his expense.
I still feel the sense of other about Castiel, since that's where the laughs come from, but I guess they couldn't have the power walking around on the boys' side the whole time. Still, every time he raises his hand of power or chants Enochian it makes me weak.
It makes a lot of sense for him not to make it to season 6, either because he dies or is reassumed to heaven. It also makes sense for him to be depowered and left on Earth.
But it would be really nice if somehow, especially if the God search pays off somehow, we get at least a glimpse of repowered up Castiel on Earth, on Team Free Will.
::hovering over unsubscribe::
Unsubbing for the nonce. See you all later.
:waves to the unsubbers: Come back soon, we love you!
Almost Show!!
Expecting Buffy to come springing through any moment...
They did that in Carrie too and it always brings me out of the moment. Did they do that before Carrie?
Also, this guy has something on his crotch. Just noticed when he adjusted in front of the tv.
Dean is having a pissing contest with the witness?
All I'm getting is a screen message that says:
Sorry for the interruption of service. There is no need to call us. We are aware that this TV station is temporarily unavailable and we will have this channel back as quickly as possible.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! It's already 7 minutes in!
