I can't bring myself to review 10.09 at the moment

[ash48]

I can't recall the last time I was so angry after a mid-season finale. Oh wait. Yes I can. After the season 8 mid-season finale.

Dear Show,

If I wanted to watch soapy drama about teenage angst and family dramas there are a gazzillion other shows I could watch. In fact, I'm currently watching The Originals - full of family strife and drama but I'm watching that KNOWING THAT THAT IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT. The last time I checked Supernatural was not ONLY about that stuff.

Yours so fucking faithfully that I need my head checked.


I'll stop because all I'll do is rant. I'm sure there were some wonderful moments but I'm too pissed that the mid-season finale was not only Winchester-lite but boring as bat shit (though actually batshit is likely to be more interesting).

And yes I know, I'm probably offending every person that follows me because that's all I seem to be able to do lately.

(though really I am sorry. I had a crappy start to the day, followed by a crappy day and I went into the episode in a craptastic mood and I had hoped it might have taken me out of it. Instead I ended up pissed off with it - which is very likely because of the mood I was in. Sadly. I just wasn't the slightest bit interested in any of it (which BOO because I was looking forward to Cas and Claire actually AND juicy MoC stuff).

I will take some time, read some reviews, adjust my mood/view and review this properly (with a poll) later.

Nope nope I am right there with you. The scenes with the brothers were fun, Dean laughing at the Stooges, the bar scene recounting that bad night in New York, but Dean's escalation from zero to Cain with face cradling tacked on the end felt...meh.

Hmmm, yeah. zero to Cain. Nicely put. It's curious that he so suddenly need to kill kill kill, when only last week he was all business about the job of killing. I know it was needed for the narrative and I have to assume that's just how the mark works - sudden need for sating.

I wouldn't be bothered by it so much if the other two storylines carried their weight, but frankly I liked Crowley more when he was digging eggs out of dead Eve or Castiel when he was beating Dean against a brick wall to get him to do the right thing (okay gonna stop complaining and go read fic)
