Supernatural 3.12

[wednesday_whimsy]

I had a lovely relaxing weekend at my parents. Finally got round to watching Supernatural.

I loved the episode but... reading my flist afterwards just made me sad. The reason I haven't posted episode reactions the past couple of weeks isn't because I'm not interested or have nothing to say, but because all the fandom crap is getting me down.

Isn't it possible to just enjoy a show for what it is and not get annoyed at every little thing? There are things I don't like, but I try to focus on the things I do. And if it ever gets so bad that I start getting angry and upset, I'll stop watching.

This was the first week I didn't find one review that wasn't full of complaints. And I don't think it was the show's fault this week, because like I said, that was a good episode. I think everyone has forgotten how to enjoy it. Until people start again, I'm keeping my squee and my show to myself.

I didn't complain! I thought it was an awesome episode

It's weird, because I've truly enjoyed the last two episodes, but still I see myself complaining a lot in my reviews. I have this need to write down what annoyances I might have with an episode, because that way I get rid of them. After I've written about them they don't annoy me that much anymore. I never have the same urge to squee a lot in my posts. Weird.

And when it comes to all the debates I've seen araound lately, I just try to think how amazing it is that people have so many thinky thoughts about the show, even if it's negative. I try to think of it as a sign of love. Or something.

But I do see your point about just enjoying it. It's just that when you love a show a lot you tend to pick it apart. It's just a shame that people harsh each other's squee in the process.
