SPN mini-commentary

[xparrot]

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?)

I feel you. I wish they'd just introduced a random oneshot character for Michael to incinerate, who found them through the same magical plot device that Anna used to escape from prison. Sigh. I'll admit that I didn't like Anna at first when she was human. After she became an angel, I liked her a lot. She had an interesting arc.

I really love SPN but I don't know why they refuse to get with it on this particular issue.

The first time I watched Anna's eps I wasn't sure how I felt about her, but rewatching them while showing the show to a friend, I really did like her. I wanted to see more of her and Cas especially, because she understood people better than him. I was happy to see her in the "previouslies" but then the ep happened...

Yeah, they could've sent any angel after the boys! Or another sort of being! Or even had Anna do it but change her mind last-minute! Or have her get away when Michael came! So many options, but no, killing yet another woman was the way to go. Sigh.
