Oh Supernatural, how I used to love you... (no spoilers)

So I have been pondering, as you do when you fall out of love, and in retrospect, the writing has indeed been on the wall since Home (though I truly didn’t want to believe it at the time, and things were still open enough then that they could have planned/found a way to incorporate both boys in The Grand Scheme - if they had wanted to), but at ( Read more... )

Yeah, I gave up SN this season (about 3 eps in) for pretty much the reasons listed her, but I never articulated them.

Sigh, is it bad that I just want Jensen Ackles and Jason Dohring to be free to work together and be totally kick-ass? Oh, heck, throw Chris Pratt in as well.

Oh man, I got a chance to see JA in Ten Inch Hero and it just made me ache for him to be able to do other projects. I love Dean, and I know JA does too, but Kripke's "vision" has just become so... ponderous and restrictive and just really not fun. And it's really a shame because the basic premise they started with - two brothers on a road trip in an awesome car, saving people, hunting things... was terrific. Ah well, it wasn't unexpected.

As for Jason, that's another really sad thing (for me, at least) because like Supernatural, I think Moonlight has a terrific premise, but the show just sucks. I still have eps on my TiVo and occasionally I'll go through and FF to all of Josef's parts, and I can enjoy them, but it would be so awesome if he were to get on an actual show that I liked as well. But hey, at least both of them are working. ;-D

Ditto to all of the above except that I've watched all of the ML eps, well, that's not true. After ep 7 or 8, I started just watching Jason in the ML eps. Works for me. I did actually get caught up a bit in Coraline's backstory in the last ep, but once it went back to all Mick/Beth all the time, I was in snoresville.

How much, much cooler would this show have been had they made Josef -- a guy who enjoys it!? -- be the lead? That's an original idea. Ah well.
