sams1raI miss season 1.
Happy Christmas.
I really do.
Season 2 had some good episodes, but... Just...
I hate stupid Dean. He doesn't know about Mary Poppins? Come on! Just like the fairy tales stuff. He didn't live in a cave for his entire childhood, the kid went to school, and there's no way he wouldn't know these things.
And about the Christmas lore. Pah-lease. I'm Jewish, and I know that it's based in Pagan mythology. I mean, the tree! It has Ashtoreth written all over it. *eyeroll*
And what were they thinking, using that kid from Something Wicked again? He sucked then, and he still sucks now. It made wee!Dean look like a jerk.
About the necklace. Yep. That's it. I gave up. Ridley was right. Sam gave it to Dean for Christmas. So no, Caleb didn't help him get it, "Uncle Bobby" did. But still. No longer obsessed with it, or with SN.
Which is kinda sad, I think, cuz I really liked it.
But they casted Ben, they couldn't find a kid with actual facial expressions to play wee!Dean? Wee!Sam was perfect (again)... *sigh*
Also, what happened to all their other connections? Season 1 had Caleb, Pastor Jim, and Joshua. Season 2 had Ellen. Why is it only Bobby now? Don't get me wrong, I love bobby (please don't kill him), but it's starting to feel like too much of a pattern. The boys get in trouble, they call Bobby, he calls them idiots, fixes the problem. Yay Bobby.
It's getting tired. Mix it up a little.
And talk about missed opportunities. Pagan gods taking Sam's (AntiChrist Jr.) blood, and nothing happens? They mix it with Dean's, and still nothing? Not even a flinch or a 'something's not right'? Dude.
So... I dunno.
I miss getting all excited about episodes. I just don't really get that lately, and it's kinda sad.
So here's yet another episode everyone else loved, and I just... didn't.
I'm beginning to like the fics better than the show, and that's just wrong. I used to get all jazzed up about Thursday. I used to wait till 4 AM to get to watch the episode. Now I have it, and I wait till I have time to watch it. I don't watch it the second I get it. It's kinda sad, for me.
Bring back the thrill. The SamnDean. I mean, season 1 had its bad episodes, I know, but every week was a rush. I miss that. I really do.
Also, I miss the cliffies, but since they don't really deliver lately... *shrug*
I did mention this was a rant, right?

Date: 2007-12-16 06:04 am (UTC)I'll answer, but in a different order.
First and foremost:
"If I'm reading you writing, because you're not happy with the way Kripke handled the amulet story means you're not coming back to the show? Alrighty."
You totally misunderstood me.
RL has really been kicking me for the past few months. I think you know at least some of it. I've been depressed for months now. SPN has, on occasion, helped make things better. But not for a while. And I think this episode made me stop expecting it would.
If I just watched this epi in order to entertain myself and pass 45 minutes, it's an ok episode. But if I'm looking for more than that, it didn't deliver. Not for me, anyway.
I'm not leaving Show. I love Show. It just used to be more for me, and it hasn't delivered in a long time. It used to, I guess that's part of the disappointment.
#1 - yeah, ok, fine. Not argueing about it anymore.
#2 - Ashtoreth is a goddess in Biblical times, used to be worshipped by worshipping a tree, not unlike the Christmas tree. And I still say the Winchesters are not normal and they should know that.
#4 - Remember I said they'd end up saying it was just shiny and he liked it? That's what this "big reveal" felt like. Yeah, I'm disappointed, and no, I don't care if there's any more meaning behind it. I'm done obsessing about it.
#7 - Glad we agree on something ;) Hasn't Dean made any connecions of his own? Ever? (poor Dean)
#8 - I get that. I do. I still think there could have been something more to be explored later. But that's just me.
#9 - I love cliffies. You know that by now. The crueler the better, imo. Yeah, Show hasn't really delivered, but I love my cliffies...
#10 - back to #5. I'm not looking for things to dislike about Show. Just saying it used to give me a rush and it doesn't lately. I agree, season 3 should have been darker. More intense. I guess they get better ratings on comedy or something. *shrugs* I miss the action and the brotherly interactions. Fresh Blood had one of my fav. SamnDean moments, but they're so few and far between... *sigh*
"I just thought this was a fun episode. Not to be take too seriously. Like so many of the other episodes this season"
And I agree. I was just expecting more of Show. I'll stop doing that. It's a fun show. (and pretty! and snarky!)
It's also a Sammy show. Good thing I have fandom to help me with the Dean show ;)
And yeah, I'm in a bitchy mood. Have been for a while (like I said, RL is really mean to me lately). That's why I haven't been around the faNily much lately. I don't want to spread the bad mood. But I do need to rant sometimes. And this is what that was. A rant.
