This would be me being a flake. About the spoilers. My "No spoilers ever EVER!" stand has changed to "Now I'm worried, thus I am reading some."
But, of course, I only ever wanted not to be spoiled for good things. Yeah, I've heard some good stuff in the mix... But, well, I was stressed out yesterday and I keep randomly reading spoiler posts.
It didn't make me less stressed. I hold to what I said about not judging anything yet. They are STILL re-writing everything. But, ya know, three new characters are going to worry anyone. 'S all hit or miss on that front.
Something that worries me about a possible 'ship? They don't seem very good at that stuff. Maybe that's why they've only had one-off and dead girls: it's hard to write 'em.
But I hope they do some awesome casting and get their asses in gear and give us something livable. Or good. You know, it could be good, couldn't it? Maybe?
I don't think this is a thing where the "suits" told them to add some chicks. Hasn't Kripke said he wanted to add some new hunters? Am I wrong? (Where did I read that? Dang. I was stressed out yesterday--after my grandmother's memorial service--and I don't remember what I read.)
And what I said about it making sense to me of course tends to make me think it wasn't some memo or whatever... Plus, and I know not every show-runner can be Joss, but I would hope he would fight for what he wants.
My question: That first ep tile, wasn't it "As I Lay Dying"? I keep seeing that as the name of a band, is it anything else? Like a lyric to an older song? I'm sure this has been answered somewhere else, but I haven't read it all.
But all that, pffff. Ya'll know I only care about three one character on this show. And things are lookin' iffy for my man. *sigh* And I KNOW, I am sure, no matter what a few people have said (and sorry, folks, I'll never be swayed) that that new show of JDM's that *cough* SO will get picked up has everything to do with how SN is written.
Because that's what actors do: get accommodated. Fuckers. Sadly, we need them. You don't wanna see, say, my bunnies playing these characters. (Oh, no, now I'm getting ideas...but, um, I don't dress my pets up--so NOT happening. But the show would be a hell of a lot more slashy, what with all the humping.)
So will he get one ep, two, four? Who knows? I've heard a few ideas, quotes, rumors. And I still don't (or want to) know exactly how he supposedly dies.
But I swear, he dies over this new show and I'll be unreasonably pissed off. REALLY unreasonable. And they could at some point say it was "all in the plan" but I'd need dated papers to that effect. Then I'd just be pissed at the show, but I can live with that.
I still can't watch Grey's without hissing at Shonda's name coming on the screen. I get it, I do, but screw everything but what I want. *sheepish grin* I mean, um. It's not like I'm the only one.
I think I will hold off on spoiler reading after now. Mostly. I just want to know how things are going: good, bad, undecided. So I save script pages and don't read them; I skim comments; I look back at the posts made about them by some of my friends; I try not to lose my mind.
Either way, September 21st looms like a doomsday now. Or, really, the first few eps. *worries* It's just...worrying. And it's not like we'll KNOW. People will just start arguing about it. That'll be fun. Well, for some of you. I am going to try and pull back a little, still enjoy my show without the fandom getting in the way, like it so tries to.
Oh, and one good thing that came from my spoiling? I now hear that *whispers* she lives. *yells* Take THAT, bro! Mister "It's totaled, Barb, its GONE!" He likes to get me all riled up, so I will be. *cracks knuckles*
Okay, so I called that one forever ago, but it's nice to know sorta for sure.
Happy moment over, we now return to our regularly scheduled worrying. Gee, I really love this show, don't I? Yeah. And I still think that's a good thing...I think.
