WHY DO YOU ASK?

THE VENERATION OF DEAN WINCHESTER A.K.A BY KRIPKE
THE EVER WOODEN ACTING OF JARED PADALECKI
THE INTRODUCTION OF CASTIEL LOL
THE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DIALOG
THE BLACK HOLE PLOT LINES
THE FORGETTABLE GUEST STARS
AND THE CRAZY FANS THAT CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IT DESPITE THE CRAP IT HAS BECOME

tHE ONLY REASON PEOPLE WATCH THIS SHOW -AND BY PEOPLE I MEAN MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO WASTE THEIR LIVES OBSESSING ABOUT THESE TOW ACTORS , FIXED ON LAPTOPS AND COMPUTER SCREENS AS THEY WRITE STORIES ABOOUT TWO GUUYS WHO WILL NEVER KNOW THEM OR KNOW THEY EXIST.

AND TO MAKE IT ALL WORSE, IN THE NEW SEASON , THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW, KRIPKE, ACTUALLY SEPNDS MORE TIME MOCKING SAID PATHETIC FANS. AND WHAT DO THEY DO IN RESPONSE? THEY LAUGH AND SMILE AND LAP IT UP, SWEARING THEY ARE DIFFERENT, THEY ARE NOT PART OF THIS RABID FANDOM.

AS I LOOK UP AND DOWN THIS BOARD, ALL I SEE IS WHAT I SAW A YEAR AGO. A BUNCH OF SAD PEOPLE WHO ARE TYRING TO LIVE OUT THEIR FANTASY ,TALKING AND SPENDING THEIR LIVES OBSESSING OVER A HALF-BAKED SHOW WITH BAD WRITING AND ACTING JUST BECASUE THE ‘ BOYS ARE SO HOT!’. THEY CAN NEVER JUDGE THE SHOW OBJECTIVELY AND ARE LAUGHED AT BY KRIPKE ET AL AS BEING SICKOS THAT HAVE TO BE LISTENED TO IN ORDER TO GET PAID OR GET RATINGS.

AS A FORMER RABID FAN MYSELF, MY ADVICE TO Y’ALL WOULD BE TO STOP WATCHING THIS CRAP SHOW AND END ALL OTHER SPN DEBILITATING SPN-RELATED BEHAVIOUR-LIKE WRITING FANFICTION,

IT’S A WASTE OF TIME AND A WASTE OF YOUR LIFE.

YEAH, I’M TALKING TO YOU.

THE MIDDLE-AGED HOUSEWIFE WHO SPENDS ALL HER TIME ON THEIR WEBSITE NOT CARING HOW HER HUSBAND FEELS WHEN HE SEES HER SPENDING ALL HER TIME ON THE SPNE WEBSITE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER MAN (DEAN OR SAM) OR PLAYING X-RATED(WINCEST) RPGS

THE TEENAGE GIRL WHO SAVES MONEY EVERY YEAR TO GO TO THEIR CONVENTIONS.STAYING IN THE BACKGROUND HOPING EITHER JENSEN OR JARED WILL NOTICE HER OR HIM

THE TEENAGE GIRL WHO CAN’T AFFORD TO GO , AND JUST HANGS JENSEN ACKLES PICTURE IN HER ROOM, DAYDREAMING….FANTASIZING

THE GRANDMA WHO KEEP THEIR GIFS ON HER COMPUTER.

JENSEN OR JARED HAVE THEM AND NEWSFLASH, THEIR PLANS DON’T INCLUDE RABID FANGIRLS OR FANBOYS. THEY’RE JUST GETTING PAID,AND WILL DO THEIR BEST TO FORGET YOU -FANDOM-AFTER IT ALL ENDS.

There was no clear distinction between angels and demons, so there was no good and evil, just a lot of talk about how family is everything.
I miss how it started – with individual stories each episode and only hints of the Winchesters in the background. That is why I watched it. It’s my own little modern Twilight Zone.

Read an article that the actors signed on for a sixth season. Please do NOT do that! Save the show before it tanks completely.

I started watching the show last year so I was in the position to watch season 1, 2 and 3 in a short time period and it is definately improving season by season. The points you named in your article were spot on, as are many other points to be made about the show.
For example, in the 4th season, the angel’s arc and storyline couldn’t really interest me much, it was a pretty original and unexpected twist but it is not the reason I watch the show and I am definately not a Cas-girl LOL.
The quality of the more angsty episodes has gone down IMO cause of the tragic loss of the late Kim Manners.
I think Erik Kripke shouldn’t give in to the fans (especially the rabid ones) like he’s doing now.

The following comments make you wonder why I still love it?
Because the family arc, the actors (regulars and guest starring) , the funny crossovers (Jacob from Lost being Lucifer) and much more. If you are a sucker for knowing small facts and you have a good general knowledge you will love the writing And because I want to see what they make of it this season (5). For me personally, the fandom is another reason to stick with it, because frankly, I don’t know where to find the crazy ones, I only know sane people with a great sense of humour and selfcritizism (not a native speaker)

thumbs up for getting this many comments on a good article that could have been a lot better if you had a good follow up

The problem with supernatural is its fandom, mainly because they let kripke treat them as idiots unable to understand the metaphors of the show. Supernatural messages are full of xenophobia, and because the show is about human, angels and demons they dont realize that they are consuming and defending xenophobic messages (xenophobia in its wide connotation of fear and hate to what is different from normality).

In Supernatural, actions and motivations are not important. Characters (even the two main characters) are defined as good or evil (and therefore are labeled, stereotyped, and punished) considering their belonging to a certain group.

The more and more xenophobia and repression kripke spreads, the more and more “in kripke I trust” the fandom answers.

I haven’t watched any episodes this season, and don’t plan to until I’m off university for a break — I’m sticking my head in the sand while the fandom rages during the year.

Another thing: the show completely caters to its psychotic/borderline stalker fans. Females are added and drops according to the sheer rage when someone talks to Dean or Sam (I can’t believe some of these fans are my gender, or even human).

When the script is weak I want to just get the last 45+ minutes of my life back (but then, I just love Sam and Dean’s relationship, since I never had anything so powerful with my own family, let alone my own younger sibling, so in the end I still cherish the episode in some way), when the acting is glaringly off I have to question if crack monkeys gave the green light pass for calling it a wrap. Buffy dealt with fall outs, like the sheer number of cemeteries and churches (people in Sunnydale know morbid, violent/weird shit goes on, they just ignore it), and the ‘real world’ even if the exposition’s a bit tl;dr — SPN like SV just hopes you don’t notice how ridiculous it is for a seventeen year old to be running a coffee shop on a school day or how Clark gets everywhere so fast, or how a flashy car like Dean’s NEVER is flagged by the law that’s supposedly after them or their credit card scams. Buffy used show AND tell, Smallville just hammered how EVIL Lex was/how in love two people were/how great _ was without 1) SHOWING or 2) making it clear it’s a testament of how close-minded SV is; SPN, like Buffy, tries to show there isn’t a clear line for such things, but it’s still not phenomenal.

Like many of Buffy’s characters, SPN makes me feel the fear of loneliness the brothers have if they’d lose the other, and the stupid things they do to avoid it no matter how co-dependent and wrong it is. Like Buffy and Giles’ platonic relationship, Sam and Dean’s brother story yanked me in and wouldn’t let me go. Croatoan is disliked by many for being a bad episode, but for me it’s a favorite because it shows the twisted desperation between Sam and Dean: even in the face of Sam begging Dean to kill him because he WILL hurt other people, Dean can’t do it, when just earlier he killed someone else for the same thing. It reminded me of Buffy being incapable of killing Dawn, and the shock Buffy goes into losing her hit me just as much as when Sam is eventually taken from Dean at the end of the season, and I cried like Buffy after Angel’s death when Sam was killed right before Dean’s eyes. ‘Supernatural Christmas’ again made me ache thinking about someone loving me as much as those brothers love each other, someone so desperately grateful you’re around; like in ‘Dead Man’s Party’ where Buffy finally starts to relax — once Giles hugs her and lets them in — and Giles just takes a minute in the kitchen and quietly has a little break down how happy he is she’s safe and back, that’s all. And there’s an awesome Buffy shout out in the Ghostfacers episode, which is a mixture of lulz and creepy.

Wow, I could have sworn this was just going to be just a ‘word yo’ post but it kinda got bigger. IDK, I just kind of wanted to show how I agree with you. All your points are valid, and um… I prefer to think the evolutionary-impaired side of fandom doesn’t exist? :’D Keep your stance, in fact, I’d LOL so hard if you made another one like this reviewing the series and going ‘…nope, still sucks. V’ People like you make the crazies run around like dodos, and in Ice Age at least it led to them all falling off a cliff. Even Jensen and Jared mocked their own show, and really, it made me like them even more with them wondering why people aren’t doing something more useful with their lives.

The original plot is/was good for a tv show, but the background stories and the horror effects were always really, really bad.

Now i hate supernatural, because of its fandom.

I dont know why this particular show has joined so many aggressive, selfish, childish, mean people (some of them growned up women). The things they write about real people (and im not talking about wincest), the way they react when someone has a different opinon,full of hate, emptiness and intolerance… That is really scary… that´s the scary part of the show!
