SPN Reaction
Was saving my happy post until after SPN as last few days have not filled me with the happy happy joy joy as my little man has not been good, but then got sent a beeyooootiful picture of my goddaughter, and then hubby and I had a lovely night together, acting almost like we did as teenagers, staying up into the wee hours talking, so thought show would make a nice 'threes a charm' right???
WRONG. Oh in so many ways this looked like such a great episode, it has Michael Shanks in it for crying out loud!!!! then there was a preachers daughter and a group, a village, a community that believed in fighting for themselves and protecting each other, and then there was Castiel's message and then the first signs of poor broken Castiel, but then the fail began.
The repeated use of whore, bitch, lets go kill ourselves a whore etc. I get it, in the bible she was called 'the whore of babylon' but then I've never been in denial about the amount of misogyny in the bible. (and this is me speaking as a practising Catholic who has read it more than once) but I think I may have been in denial about the amount of misogyny in show :( I am usually pretty easygoing, yes it pisses me off sometimes when every decent woman in SPN is canon fodder or someone for the guys to sleep with, or evil. It is one of the reasons I decided to write my big bang fic. But this...... come on this took it WAY too far.
Even the title, 99 problems........ I find that song offensive enough without it being used in my favourite show, alongside an overuse of the words bitch and whore and the women being the personification of evil once again. Even the mother who was willing to kill for her son, and the only person who saw through it, the wise male leader of the church.
Kripke, here's a heads up, a large proportion of your fanbase are FEMALE!!!!!!
Then there was the Lisa thing..... I don't get it, yes I get Dean dreaming about in her in dream a little dream, she was fresh in his head, as was the dream of a normal life, but the first time she brought up to Sam, it was about her being a Yoga instructor, and now she is the one he dreams about!!! it just seemed rushed and forced and didnt ring true for me.
ok /rant, feel free to ignore my ranting and raving, at the moment I'm jus really dissappointed. Hopefully my enthusiasm for next week will come soon, hopefully.
