Something else that doesn't happen here too often....

An episode review! Or something. A little bit ranty.

BUT.

Before you scroll away, let me be 100 percent clear. I LOVED THIS. The finale? Rocked.




I'm not always very good on the thinky thoughts. In fact, i tend to ramble and get a little incoherent, so i'm going to direct you to a couple places that said what i *want* to say, only much, much better.

First is from bree_black, The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean. All i can say is 'hell fucking yes'.

The second is courtesy of tahirire, and she says it like it is. Possibly a little ranty, but i agree! So much. :)

And last but not least - my take on something i've seen around my flist ever since Show got started. People saying 'Kripke isn't Joss!' Meaning - Kripke isn't *as good as* Joss, Show is not as good as Buffy. Know what i say?

Thank fuck. Buffy? Is awesome. Always will be. But i got sick to death of Joss' issues being passed off as feminist story-telling. We all take different things from shows because of who we are and how we are and where we are but...let me, again, be clear: I don't want Joss anywhere near my boys.

If this sounds combative and mean, well...i'm sorry. But i'm tired of the undercurrent that Show is somehow a pale *imitation* of Buffy, that Kripke is secretly wishing he were Joss and that the whole thing would be so much better if only Sam were a real girl. Or something. Rarr. I love Buffy, i had a blast in that fandom, and it's not unimaginable to think i'll revisit from time to time. But Show? Is not Buffy. And i. Like it that way.

Sorry, flist, i'm just cranky. Anyway - hope you enjoy the links. The meta there is actually well written and interesting, unlike this. :)

Yes!
They'd be boring if they were perfect. :)
