Rawr! And other noises.

Just so people know - i am high on Show!Love, and have nothing but praise for Show. That being said, there are spoilers here for the very newest episode.



OMG.

'Show is unsubtle'
'Show is so full of anvils'

Um. DUH? Do you actually think that, in real life, people are all subtle, crafty, secretive and sneaky? Sam saying he loved his Dad was an 'anvil'? WHAT? Yes, we know he loved his dad. HE NEVER GOT TO SAY IT. For fuck's sake - if you're father had died with him, in your opinion, thinking you hated him, and you got the chance to say to him that you loved him, that you got it, that you forgave him...wouldn't you? I mean, SERIOUSLY, would you just emote in the corner and grit your teeth and never say a word?

If you say 'yes', i call utter shite. People - life is messy, and unsubtle, and full of the obvious. It's how we are. It makes for moments of high comedy, high drama, and utter ridiculous, but it is life.

And, more to the point, this is tv life. As the man said:"Drama is that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith."

I have willingly suspended my disbelief. I have poetic faith.



Whew. There.

I'm not averse to people disagreeing with me, and in fact love a good back-and-forth but/rebut kind of thing. (Although probably not tonight, as i am sick as a dog, day freakin' three or four or something and Jayzus Christ, this is getting old....) But if you come in here to harangue or get nasty, i shall smite you.

Can I say "YES!" to the power of infinity? Because I love the show, too, and I know it's not always going to hit the heights, but I'm always invested in these characters and their stories, so persistent, chronic nitpicking just gets wearisome. When it 's good, it *soars*. When it's average, it's still better than most things out there, and I'm still getting to spend time with some wonderful folk who I can makebelieve are really out there saving the world.

Exactly! Damnit. If it's really making you seethe and flail and gnash your teeth, then...what the hell are you watching for?

If you honestly, truly believe that every writer and producer, and Kripke, and the *characters*, and evil, woman-hating bastards than...why torture yourself? Find another show to watch, and stop wading into every discussion with a huge harangue about how awful, horrible, and soul-killing Show is.

Because yes, it's not perfect, but i love Show and the endless negativity gets tiring sometimes.
