So ya know...

I'm not going to be writing up a reaction or review of 10.12. In fact, it's unlikely I'll be writing them any more. I feel I only want to complain these days and that's not fair on anyone (though I'm thinking of writing up some general stuff - mostly to help me try and work why I'm feeling just over it all).

I am still curious about what every one thought so I'll still do the polls (if you're all still happy to fill them out *g*).

It's gotten to a point where we look deeper for something and it's never there so we aren't really satisfied, like a thirst that can't be quenched.

Yeah. I'm getting past thinking they're being clever or there's layered story threads and characterisations. I'm mostly seeing pandering to the fans and it's making be sad.

The song at the end is a good example. It made me laugh because it was such an obvious shout out to Jared's twitter comment about Taylor (and they even managed to do a Beiber joke as well). It's no longer about "what does that say about the character" but rather "that would be funny! Let's do that!".

The choice to instead have rock music playing would have signalled that Dean was really back (and if I thought for a minute there was any deeper meaning in having a TS song I would [wank] and say it symbolised the fact that even though it "looked" like Dean was back, the fact is he still has the Mark and so he's not really back. Or even - Dean is learning to accept different facets of his personality and after having a body changing experiences is able to shift his thinking) - but that would be all BS because it was there as a joke. So, *shrugs* is kind of sums up what's pissing me off so much about the show at the moment).

I love the discussions too! And even though I didn't post a review I've been able to discuss the show anyway. Which has been nice. :)
