“Are you okay? He was so mean to you!”
Pure gold.
Confetti! Parade! Inappropriate gestures! Inappropriate attempts at kissing! Lighter fail.
The problem with hardcore scifi fans…
They want their shows to continue (preferably forever), but the show needs more viewers in order for the network to renew it.
Hardcore scifi fans take everything way too serious and like to have aggressive opinions about everything. No one can tell them they’re wrong, no one can change their mind. They have a limited scope of what they expect from their shows, movies, books, and comics/graphic novels and are not open to new ideas or to any of the above media trying to make their content more accessible.
And if the above media (television and film in particular) cannot be made more accessible, then it will not get enough viewership and will no longer be produced.
Additionally, the aggressive, purist nature of hardcore scifi fans is a turn-off for many a layperson. Hardcore scifi fans can’t just sit back and accept scifi as it is, they must analyze it and critique it and hold exceptionally high standards for all scifi exploits thereby often taking the fun out of it.
Analyzing media is not a bad thing. In fact, it’s what makes scifi great; the many layers it packs on, the allegories, the philosophical themes, all are what make scifi better than your average genre. But if you can’t just enjoy the surface of it in the first place, then what’s the point?
I love scifi. I love analyzing and overanalyzing and watching and re-watching scifi. I love the themes and the allegories and all of it, but once you start chastising people for only enjoying scifi at face value or for liking something that you deem unworthy because it doesn’t have enough layers or good enough acting or good enough writing or isn’t scientifically or technologically accurate, you’re only serving to distance them from the world of scifi and preventing them from ever discovering the deeper layers of that world.
So please, for all our sakes, stop being self-important jerks.
*Disclaimer: This rant is a generalized rant. Not all hardcore scifi fans act as the above states. If you’re reading this, I’m not talking about you…Or am I?
Is it wrong that I want Betty and Daniel to finally get together this season? Especially since I hadn’t even considered the possibility until late last season.
Supernatural was awesome tonight. One of my favorites. Not nearly enough Misha, but a decent amount.
Missed Castiel tonight. Sadness. I mean, I know Misha can’t be in EVERY episode…wait, why is that again? Anyway, it felt emptier to me. Still awesome, but emptier. I kept hoping they’d at least reference him, like maybe Dean was talking to him not Bobby on the phone. No dice.
CASTIEL: Let’s go.
DEAN: Whoa whoa!
CASTIEL: What?
DEAN: Last time you zapped me some place, I didn’t poop for a week! We’re driving!
Supernatural 5x03 Free to Be You and MeThis scene was so funny!! These guys makes and incredible couple!!
Definitely my biggest LOL moment in this episode. Completely caught me off guard.
SUPERNATURAL DRINKING GAME.
Take a drink every time Dean says SONUVABITCH!
And every time there is a slashy Dean/Cas moment.
I’m watching SPN. And not doing my homework. HIGHFIVE.
Every time there’s a slashy Dean/Cas moment? That’ll lead to alcohol poisoning for sure. Not very responsible.
“This isn’t funny Dean! The voice says I’m almost out of minutes!”
“I’ll just…wait here then.” (for 4 hours.)
Love Cas!
get in loser, we’re going shopping.
Ok, so not really. There is so much good Cas gifing in this epi.
My favorite! Plus, the line earlier when Dean asks what he’s doing for his last night.
“I just thought I’d sit here quietly.”
Cas, be nice to the hooker.

UNF. OMFG. p.s. I am so relieved that the best possible thing happened instead of what I was afraid would happen. XD
Don’t know why anyone thought it’d be anything different than this. No way was Cas losing his virginity.
Well, he’s already lost it in the next one so XD
But technically that’s 5 years from now. Plus, it could all be a ruse. Maybe it’s a cover or something. You never know… But I think it’d be funnier if was exactly as it seems.
