SPN mini-commentary
Regarding SPN 5x12 and 5x13:
5x12: a criminal waste of a good body swap. Phooey.
5x13: DANGIT SHOW, why'd you have to go and do that? I liked Anna, quite a lot - rebellious angels of all stripes are a major draw for me. Having her go evil (and stupidly evil no less - she actually achieved her objective, she killed Sam, and then rather than go and immediately scatter his atoms across the cosmos - back in time, no less, it probably would've taken some effort to straighten that out - she continued to go for the brutal murder. ARGH.) and then get killed is just annoying.
I also believe this means that every single female character who appeared in more than two episodes is now dead. Seriously, show, the hell? Even Castiel h/c can't make up for that.
(not to say that I didn't enjoy those bits. But I would've enjoyed them a lot more in a different context.)
Also finished s4 Buffy/s1 Angel. Yay friendship! Yay h/c! Yay Spike in tweed on a swingset! (Joss Whedon is a Twin Peaks/David Lynch fan, y/y?)

But you know, what's really annyoing me this season? All the baffling storytelling choices. It's the Apocalypse, dammit, and still we get one filler episode after another, each with maybe one plot-relevant line. If the production team aren't giving a shit, why should I?

And yeah, the Apocalypse storyline...I've been trying to figure out if they've been counting all season on getting renewed, so are trying to draw it out through s6; or if they're just really bad at writing epic stories...
