ash48A very short, very negative reaction. Please be warned (I mean it. Not a happy camper - so, you know, don't click).
(*meep* and my comments are full of unmitigated bitterness too. So yeah. Don't read! You know the drill!)
That, quite possibly, has become the most rage inducing episode for me in the history of the show.
All I can say is FUCK THEM and their manipulative, canon and character destroying bullshit. I used to like Robbie, but now I'm just *side eyeing*
(I had a heap of stuff written up but I just couldn't post it. Too ragey and messy. I hope to gather myself and write a constructive crit on why that episode was the ultimate in mockery and manipulation. Or maybe it will come up in comments).
(and no, Dean calling "SAAAM!" didn't make things better - though the hair petting went some way in helping...;D)
ETA: Dammit, I have to add - making God real is the single worse thing they could ever have done. Just think about what he's allowed Sam and Dean to suffer (Rape, torture, loss etc etc). And think about how, with a snap of his finger he could change EVERYTHING. Every. Single, Thing. Curious to see how they write themselves out of that one.

Date: 2016-05-07 08:46 am (UTC)The big problem with this show is that none of the characters - or I'll go further and say none of the actors want to really be an utter total tool of a bastard.
And I think that's what I needed to sell this. I needed god to be the ultimate, arrogant dick. As the creator of heaven I wanted - needed him to out dick Uriel and Zac. To make it work for me their god had to know what was going on and either find it amusing, his angels manipulating humanity to bring on the apocalypse and to mock their efforts, or to not care less. But sadly they sat Metatron and Chuck down and kept telling me what nice guys they are and they're not - neither of them. Let's just ignore the whole angels needing human souls for power thing - if god created souls, then he created humans as mere angel fodder - and that would be good - go for it, god's a huge dick not a nice misunderstood troubadour.
*sigh* I'm not interested in the bland and, as sure as I am that many love Rob's singing, I didn't - corny and bland - a double whammy.
The resurrection of the chosen few pissed me off.

Date: 2016-05-07 11:36 am (UTC)I've just written another entry (mostly because I needed to get it out of my system) but using Rob's con persona was very problematic. This isn't at all how I thought God would be. Even though everyone said it was Chuck it never felt right to me. It also makes little sense. Why would be stand by and let Sam suffer hell for 100 years? I just can't buy it.
god's a huge dick not a nice misunderstood troubadour.
Make it obvious what a huge dick he is! They toyed with it, but instead they redeemed Metatron and God "saw the light" and decided to save Sam and Dean. God came across as a spoil brat (much like Amara) but it just didn't feel enough. I dunno. Maybe it will come out more in future episodes. It will be such a hard sell with Rob playing the role. He's just too nice.
The resurrection of the chosen few pissed me off.
Just far too many questions. And where did that woman's husband suddenly appear from? God transported him from their house where she shot him?
As I say in the next post - if they don't come up with a solid reason why God doesn't heal people's suffering I will be simmering with anger. I suppose he could say "I just don't feel like it" and that might be enough to seal him being an utter dick. But will they go that route? Hard to say. And, as usual, I am just not that invested in this story line. I want them to be done with it. The MoTW eps have been so solid this season. Why can't they just stick with those?!
