I'm so glad ...Thanks so much for your comments. I'm so glad everyone feels the same way I do. I saw some of the twitter ire last night, but hadn't watched the episode yet so I didn't read too much of it at that point. <br /><br />I just... why even bring Mary back if you're going to relegate her to the sidelines for most of the season? They were like oh wait the show is about the two of them, we can't have her every episode. So instead of making her interesting and cool, nope! Make her another symbol of abandonment! That's what they need to feel more man pain! I think I like her more than others, but maybe I'm just desperate for a regular female on the show.<br /><br />But yeah, just killing off women wantonly with hardly any regard, when I'm not sure they've ever done that to a male character (I could be wrong, but good lord the show has been on a long time to keep track of all that), is supremely aggravating.<br /><br />It all makes me so sad because Supernatural was legitimately my favorite show the first five seasons. Sigh.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542685770827922270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-40102326715630839352017-05-12T08:56:52.309-07:002017-05-12T08:56:52.309-07:00Forgot to mention that I agree with your thoughts,...Forgot to mention that I agree with your thoughts, except maybe with a lot more ire. They're recycling plotlines, yes; nobody cares about Lucifer's kid anymore, Cas is literally doing the same thing he did end of Season 6, and they've completely wiped any of the accountability that killing Death/Billie stood for--that cosmic actions have cosmic consequences. Never mind killing great potential characters solely for the man pain. And at this point I'm hoping Mary dies, because A) it's obviously going to happen, so I'm not even going to argue it at this point, and B) she's done less with more screen time than John ever did. At least John didn't constantly lie to the boys, sleep with the enemy, and all around just do shit to assuage his own guilt. He did the best he could while training them to protect themselves. Mary's plotline right now, whatever it is, doesn't even coincide with the heart of the show. They've not only given me no sympathy for the character, but actively dislike her, because she has nothing to do with the Supernatural I've known and loved.<br /><br />Twitter was a shitshow last night. Tumblr too. Funny thing is, the fans are on point. "If you can only move a story forward, or motivate your characters, over the body of a woman: re-evaluate your understanding of both." That was the the sentiment most expressed last night, aside from unabashed rage. Too bad the powers that be aren't listening.ralhttps://twitter.com/ralenorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-79599279419365395032017-05-12T08:43:19.352-07:002017-05-12T08:43:19.352-07:00I wish they'd blow up the bunker and put the b...I wish they'd blow up the bunker and put the boys on the streets again, like the good old episodes when they were hopping from motel room to motel room, living in their car because they had no other option. Season 1 Dean said he never wanted to settle down, and while he experimented with it (e.g. Lisa and Ben) he still always found himself back on the road. However, one of the top guys (can't remember who it was, but it was on Twitter) confirmed yesterday they're not going back to the motel rooms, because the sets are too expensive to build/tear down for each episode.<br /><br />Which also makes me wonder where all that money is going. Because it's certainly not for the music licensing, like it used to be. I don't think I've heard a single classic rock song this season. At this point I'll be surprised if they use Kansas for the finale next week.ralhttps://twitter.com/ralenorenoreply@blogger.com
