Supernatural - "Jump the Shark"
This is one episode that left me feeling - unsatisfied? Conflicted? Angry?
So the Winchesters do indeed - or shall I say did have a younger brother; a brother who was brought up by a good mother; who had father that took him to baseball games, and took him fishing.
Normal parents. A normal life. Something which Dean Winchester has never known, and something that Sam Winchester has only had a small taste of: normalcy. Too bad the kid's been dead a while, and is in fact a ghoul intent on killing the Winchester brothers because their father killed his.
Strange, though, isn't it? Strange how a man who seemed so obsessed with seeking vengeance for the death of the love of his life could in fact being living a second 'normal' one.
♠ Dean -
Oh, Dean. I can only imagine how you must've felt, standing there looking at this boy who had everything you've always wanted: A normal life, a mother, a father who was proud of you. And yet, despite all of that, you still wanted to protect the boy; protect him from the life of a hunter. Even when faced with something such as this, you put your anger aside, and thought of the boy.
♠ Sam -
What's going on here, Sam? This boy has a fighting chance at something that you want for yourself and Dean, and yet you're so quick to condemn him to the same tragic life that both you and your older brother have been forced to bear? What has happened to you?
By the way, Sam, I honestly don't think that was meant to be a compliment, and quite frankly, I agree completely with your brother: you are exactly like your father, in both the good ways and the bad.
♠ Papa Winchester -
A double-life. I must admit that I never would've thought that you would be capable of something such as this, Papa Winchester. Still, you never abandoned the boy. You made sure to let him know that he was loved - something all fathers should do, but unfortunately, many don't.
Maybe if you had showed the same consideration to your other two boys, things would've been different...
That's all I've got to say on this episode. I was left feeling extremely angry, and I actually felt like crying, so yeah... I'm just going to stop there before I actually do start crying.
Oh, boys... I love both of you so very, very much.
KITSU'S FINAL GRADE: C+

I'm annoyed, I'm disappointed, and what I feared would happen happened: this episode changed my outlook on John. How am I supposed to reconcile this with the fact that Mary was his One True Love? I get that Adam's mother was a one night stand, but she looked so much like Mary (to me, at least), that I felt dirty looking at her. Ghoul her. You know what I mean.
Just, ugh. I don't know what to do with this show sometimes. :|

I've had to delete several wanky Sam!Girl comments, and it's PISSING ME OFF!! Goddamn it, is this all these girls do: Troll journals to say 'OMGYOUSAMHATER!!" Please point out to me exactly WHERE I said I hated Sam. Hell, I've even defended the guy in other entries. WTF?!!
That's it. I'm flocking this entry, and I will NEVER post a public review again. This entire fandom can kiss my ass.
*snugs you liek whoa*
Thanks, bb. I needed that. *clings to you*

Don't let it get to you. You know how you feel about everything, and that's what counts. The wank is going to be there no matter what we do, but you shouldn't have to deal with it on your journal. I'm sorry to hear that you won't be doing public reviews anymore. I've pointed a few people to what you've said since I've friended you, simply because you summed up my thoughts better than I could. I completely understand it, though.
I hear you on the daddy issues. I have them, but in reverse. My dad was my best friend before he died, but my issues are with my mom. So, if you ever want to commiserate. Heh.

Clearly, they didn't read the ENTIRE review because I specifically stated that I loved both boys.
And they wonder why we say something about Sam!Girls. Jesus.
But you know this fandom is craaaaaaazy, bb. You should expect nothing less, especially when it's a well known fact that you're a Dean girl. ;)
Am I that obvious, bb? LOL.
But yes, I do indeed pledge my soul
and bodyto Dean Winchester because he's the brother I identify with. His issues with his father are the same as my own, and that's the reason why I adore him.The wank is going to be there no matter what we do, but you shouldn't have to deal with it on your journal.
Exactly, thank you. That's the brutally honest truth. It's SAD.

I've cooled down a bit, so I may very well continue on at least through the finale. If the wank continues though, my reviews for season five will be strictly FRIENDS ONLY.

Thankfully, I've got a great relationship with my mom - or at least I did. She seems to be angry with me a lot here lately for apparently no reason at all, and it's got me worried.
By the way, thanks for the offer, bb. I may very well take you up on it the next time my father calls me "stupid" and "fucking blind." Yes, he actually said that to me...

I think people refuse to admit that Deangirls are always going to see things from his pov. That's your perogative.It's your journal, your review. You were NOT bashing Sam, you were seeing the episode from Dean's side. I like to read everyone's opinions. I may not agree sometimes but it's interesting to see different "takes" on the same episode.Having said that, I love Dean also. As a Deangirl, I have a couple of questions for you; was Dean a little jealous of Adam and Sam- missing the brotherbond he had with Sam? And when Dean was trapped, saw Adam's corpse, wasn't that realization and fear for Sam that instigated his escape? I'm just curious on how you interpreted that. Please don't flock your journal because of a few rabid comments. Different opinions are refreshing. Thanks.
