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

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.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS, my shoooooow

I wasn't particularly moved one way or the other by Supernatural this week? It felt like the setup half of a two-parter, as a lot of similarly-placed episodes tend to do. I guess I'll have to wait another six weeks to find out if I liked it or not.

I've just started The Originals. I avoided it because I'm not a fan of those epic family drama stories, but I'm actually enjoying it. It seems well paced and thoughtful in the story telling.

That's what I was thinking! I wondered if maybe the thought they were going to conclude with 9.10 and the next one is the "real" conclusion? Cas still has to deal with Claire and Sam and Dean need to seriously address this - which I figure they'll have to start doing next ep? Unless they have Dean continuing to deny anything is wrong (surely he won't get away with that now?!) and Sam giving us the frowny face but going along with him anyway.
