Happy Halloween and bye bye Supernatural

Good to know that Jensen also didn't like season 6. To me it was horrible becasue of Dean's degradation and I associate it with Lisa/Ben. Here is what Jensen said at the ChiCon:

Fan: What’s your favorite season of Supernatural?

Jensen: I know my least favorite – last season. And that would be personal issues with workload and storyline and the character. In the beginning of last season I guess I felt a little lost. Sam was soulless, so I didn’t have my partner in crime. But my character wasn’t actually progressing, it was just all about the progression of Sam, so selfishly I was like, come on, I understand it’s Sam’s storyline, but it was Dean-centric, so that was kind of throwing me off. We got through it and Jared did a great job, but I was glad to be done with that storyline. As far as my favorite, I still love Season One, just because of the formula – it was simple, it was tight, we were still getting to know each other, the characters were starting to develop and I liked the fun nuances between the brothers. And I liked that simple formula – the monster of the week episodes. I understand that the show needs the mythology and I applaud Kripke for how he did that but I do like the monster of the week episodes.   source

Later Jensen talks about the writing:

Fan: Is there ever a time when you read a script and you say to your character, “Dean! What are you thinking?”

 Jensen: All the time. Seriously. Usually just certain lines, because we get new writers. I know that every year they have to take at least one outside submission, so basically someone who has never written for the show. They understand the show because their script got picked, and it’s a good script, but it’s just that sometimes the dialog isn’t really true to character. So I’ll either sit down and rewrite the lines to tailor it to Dean or just call Sera or Bob and say “Hey, this particular scene doesn’t sound like Dean at all. That’s happened maybe twice this year. There’s a scene between Jared and I, Sam and Dean, in fact I think it’s the next episode, it’s the end scene. We have like a falling out, an argument. And I kid you not, the scene was like straight out of a romantic comedy. It was like a break-up between a woman and a man. Right out of a romantic comedy.  source

Yeah, I wish JA changed the script of M3TR, that was a total mess. Dean not being able to talk to Lisa and tell her to leave him alone, Dean not being able to tell the annoying brat that his family are Sam and Bobby... I mean: what the fuck?
Oh, I really wish JA changed the script of Let it Bleed... Dean leaving Sam in coma and going to save the slut and her spawn? And again not being able to tell her off? And crying at the end? Wuss! Wuss! Wuss!

I was watching Supernatural for Dean... but since Dean is gone (and judging by the comments on the boards he is gone in S7 as well) I decided not to spend my time on watching SN. Not until Dean comes back. Besides I fear that the writers will do something incerdibly stupid again. They destroyed five years of hard work just by forcing upon us Lisa and Ben!  A single line, a flashback, a memory... anything might ruin S7 so I'm not going to risk. I'll wait until the season (or show) is over and maybe then I'll watch.

Happy Samhain everyone.

Jensen on Dean’s goodbye to Lisa: “That’s never going to be his life. He’s a hunter and that’s how its always gonna be”

Amen!

Now, the writers need to acknowledge this simple fact about Dean and start writing him properly.

I want the Dean of Season 2 again. Happy womanizer and a good hunter. No more questioning his job, no more whining. I'm sick of Dean's attitude from S5 and his demotion from S6.

Let it Bleed

Season 6, episode 21

I have mixed feelings about "Let it Bleed" and how the closure of Lisa/Ben storyline was handled. I said "closure" becasuse there are several factors to prove it:

- Lisa/Ben story was dragged out one more time because after M3TR the comments stated "it didn't seem to be the final end"
- why otherwise spend a whole episode on Lisa and Ben just before the finale?
- why make Lisa and Ben forget the past year, if not for getting rid of them for good?

So, yeas... it was a closure. The writers (in this case Sera Gamble) also mentioned twice during LiB that Ben is not Dean's son.

For the record: it has been said in "The Kids are alright", "Two and a half man", and twice in "Let it Bleed" that gives us 4 times when they clearly stated Dean is not the father! If he were, then the angles in season 5 could have use Ben as the vessel instead of Adam. Logic people!

Anyway, to clear things out, the demons repeated it in LiB. Yes, demons lie but in this case they confirmed what Lisa was saying and what the angles already knew. Besides, demons tell the truth when they know it is more painfull for the victims. Demons have their way to know such secrets. Like the demon posessing Lisa: demon knew Lisa was a slut (yes, yes.. my dear viewers you should also know that from TKAA), knew she regreted meeting Dean. And that is cool. Really. What is so not cool is Dean.

One more time I hated this idiot. This wasn't "the Dean" form previous seasons. I understand he felt guilty and responsible and furious when Crowley kidnaped Lisa and Ben, but hey... he didn't have to act like an emasculated creature.

It was a closure, although Dean didn't get to speak his mind and come to a good conclusion. No, Sera shoved her "love-boring-sotry" down our throats from the beginning of S6 till the very end. Many people on the message boards didn't expect Lisa/Ben storyline to be there for so long. Especially that it did not serve any purpose: Well, Dean was changed, deprived of all his great qualities after the year with Lisa. However, when Sam came back to Dean's life, Dean left Lisa and Ben immediatley.

- Their "relationship" was over in 6.02 episode. Dean & Lisa were not together.
- Then, there was vampire episode which should "end" Dean's hesitation whether to lead a "nomrmal life" or not but it didn't. It was such a waste opportunity. Dean & Lisa were not together.
- After few SN months there was the "truth spell" episode which showed Lisa's true colors but Dean was so OOC that he didn't dump her :( She dumped him. Which is kind of stupid because Dean and Lisa were not together!
- To my horror, the writers were trying to "close L/B" in M3TR... Dean and Lisa were not together for a.. half a year or long in SN world, so why the hell insert her and the brat to the episode?

So basically, after not being in a relationship with Lisa and her brat from the second episode of S6, Dean had to deal with these two annoying people one more time. And was there any conclusion? Any choice making on Dean's part? No! He spent a whole year as Lisa's puppet playing the role of her man and being a father figure for Ben, which made him miserable and unhappy yet he did not open his mouth to say: sorry Lisa, I'm a hunter. This is my life. Sam is my life and we've got job to do. I thought I'd like "nomral" life but I was wrong.

No love has been shown between Dean and Lisa. No love has been between Dean and Ben. No attachment. Just a pure feeling of responsibilty and failure on Dean's side. Just a pure need of having a man in her bed on Lisa's side. Plus her lack of compassion, lack of understanding, lack of warmth, lack of charm.

If Dean didn't come to a conclusion he is a hunter and he loves that, Lisa/Ben had no purpose on this show.

I'm torn when it comes to the mind-wipe solution. I understand other Lisa-haters that such a poor character doesn't deserve heroic death. Only the good characters die on Supernatural - that is the rule. Obviously Lisa doesn't deserve to join heroin's club. That would be a joke!
On the other hand however, death is the most final end. Dead Lisa would not bother anyone. She wouldn't pop out without any warning someday in the future. Lisa left alive creates danger of bringing her back. It is hope for L/D shipers. Actually, from what I've found on forums, they are convinced Lisa and Ben would be back.

I could live with such a solution. But the execution of L/B closure was poor. It wasn't anything special requireing waiting untill the finale episode. It didn't require keeping Lisa and Ben in the background for so long. It was simple. It should've been done after 6.02. But most important it only made Dean look like stupid loser. If the writers kept Lisa and Ben for the whole season then something good should've come out of this story and it's closure. I was waiting for Dean to realize he loves his life as a hunter, just as he did back in seasons 1,2,3. After all S6 was advertised as coming back to origins - well, bullshit!

I hated the last hospital scenes of Dean. Lisa is not Jess. She was just a horny, not responsible mother who took a complete stranger to live with her. Dean crying and being so emotial about, after all not-dead woman and her not-dead kid, is so OOC. Another attempt to force on us the imporance of slutty Lisa. I mentioned Jess because I fear that the writers would write Dean in S7 as the other/next brother who lost "the love of his life". That would be the continuation of re-writeing of SUPERNATURAL.

Fandom power!

Thank you fans of Supernatural for posting your comments. I thought nobody was reading this blog ;) I am going to write a short review of the finale soon.

Scary just got boring!

Oh my God! After publishing the spoiler from Ben Edlund about Lisa and Ben in the finale there are a lot of discussions on the message boards. Lisa skeptics can't see anything good coming from 6.21 episode.
Let me just say that Dean is being compared to a "spider killer hero" - nothing more.

This horrible character and horrible storyline destroyed Supernatural. I dread watching the finale because it can either repair what's been broken or ruin my interest in this show completely.

But to be honest, like other Lisa haters, I don't have high expectations when it comes to the resolution of Lisa/Ben storyline.

The Man Who Would Be King

Season 6, episode 20

Dean talking to Cas:
"next to Sam,you and Bobby are the closest things I have to family".

I'm pretty sure Lisa & Ben would have been mentioned.... if they were somewhat important to Dean. They weren't, hahahah

Jefferson Starships

Spoilers ahead.

I guess it's about time for a new entry... I recently didn't post anything new since there were only Lisa-free episodes. However I came to conclusion that I can't watch Supernatural like I used to do it before. Now, I see this show in a completely new light, through Lisa f*ing Braeden lens. "Thanks" to Lisa and her annoying brat I wanted to slap Dean in his dull face during Mommy Dearest. How many times am I going to be forced to watch experienced hunter who is so... soft and useless when he sees kids? Unable to think clearly?
I really, really wanted him to get hurt and I wanted Cas and the others to insult Dean... for not taking his own advise:

"You know who whines? -Babies"

Maybe the monster-kids were supposed to remind Dean and Sam of themselves but to me it was a message: "Dean likes kids because he loves Ben and is thinking about him". I hate that. I hate the fact that we're suppose to believe Dean cares about Ben. He does, in a way.. because he cares for all the people (God knows why).

But Ben in particular? Ben is an artificial child. Children around 9 or 10 years old don't behave like he did in TKAAR. They hardly ever listen to AC/DC, dress like rock stars and are intrested in girls (!?!). Children raised by singles mothers don't like their "new uncles", don't trust them and certainly don't get attached to them so easily. Apparently Ben is super-stupid kid who thought Dean was his new daddy/slave (and also that his mother goes to bed with men on the third date... hahahaha - writers, was this joke intentional?) and started whinning like a girl in M3TR.

You see? I can't watch Supernatural. The magic is gone, all I see now is a comedy. No, wait... "a parody". That is a perfect word. Because how can you call episodes that are just pure fan service? I should be glad that second half of S6 mercifully offered Lisa-free episodes but I'm not. I'm not a fan of meta/comedic/strange - I don't know how to call them - episodes. I don't find them funny at all (The French Mistake, Frontierland, Clap You Hnads When You Believe - 1st half) and they are fillers. Nothing more. I feel like I was served five good episodes out of 19 so far. Episodes with Lisa and Ben are by default horrible, the rest is devided into fanfiction and the good ones.

Yeah... so many episodes to watch! (said with irony if you didn't notice). Speaking of irony: I wonder whether a person who wrote the description of 6.21 knows what that is.

"DEAN’S WORST NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE – A demon kidnaps Ben (guest star Nicholas Elia) and Lisa(guest star Cindy Sampson) to get to Dean (Jensen Ackles). Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean are forced to join with an unlikely ally to free them. Sera Gamble directed the episode written by John Showalter (#621)."

After such note even people indifferent about this storyline started ranting. Some were unpleasently surpirised this story is not over yet, some of them haven't noticed the moment when a bitch and her brat had become more important than Sam. I find a little comfort in the fact the hate for Lisa on message boards is growing. But that can't totally compensate the loss of my favourite TV show.

I don't get what is so difficult in understanding WHY fans hate Lisa.

I can divide the anti-Lisa stuff into groups:

1) Her behaviour - she's worse than prostitues on this show. Why? I hate woman who are sluty but pretend to be someone better than they really are. She is not responsible person, she got pregnant with some random guy but even after that "incident" didn't change. Of course she lives in the suburbs but all we know about her is that she chats with her neighbours about her ex-lovers and supposedly is a yoga instuctor (yoga my ass ;) ). She can't maintain a normal relationship for the sake of her son.

When Dean visited her after 10 years from the moment they had sex (one night stand!!), she invited a stranger to live with her. Becaouse yes... Dean maybe saved her kid, but was just a starnger. You don't know a person just because you spent a night with him/her. How responsible is that? That's not normal. You don't invite e.g. a fireman, a policeman or whoever who rescued your kid to live with you! That was very awkward.

About two years after that, when Dean went to her (without speaking or thinkikg of her for the entire period of time - so another "WTF?" moment) she was willing to take him in. She was at home, as usual... waiting to invite a stranger.
What kind of mother does that? Desperate, alcoholic, abusing drugs...

2) Her character - there was never any indication that Dean Winchester could be intrested in a woman like this. She doesn't make you say "WOW" (jaw falls down) when you see her and hear her. She's the worst kind of woman IMO. I despise "housewives" who don't have ANY character. And this is Lisa: boring, bland, unsophisticated, simple like not very well educated person, woman. She doesn't have any connections to supernatural world - she's not an expert on anything, she's not a hunter and she's not intrested in all that stuff. What could Dean possibly talk with her about? Teeth whitening?
There is no connection between them on any level. It's not possible that ordinary wowan from the suburbs could be appealing to "the Dean Winchester".

3) Her storyline - which was about... boring life in the suburbia and a kind of instuction "how to make a hunter's life miserable". This terrible mother put her needs (mainly the need of having a man in her bed) first. She didn't care both for her child's wellbeing nor for Dean's. As long as he played house with her she didn't care. It was kinda insulting for Dean that he had to stay for a year with a woman with whom he couldn't really share his thoughts and fears and who didn't accept him. Lisa expected Dean to switch from one life to another swiftly. Which eventually brought this show the soap-opera zone.

4) She destroyed one of the main characters - yes, Dean was rewritten to fit to her. That's outrageous that he was out of character. He didn't act more mature and was so soft because of his deep feelings for Lisa and Ben. No, he was a wussy, whiny, wimp in an unhealthy relationship. The "old DW" wouldn't be like that when his brother was in Hell.

5) It was poor choice of actress - this is a topic for another discussion.


I hate every single thing about this character and storyline. It started with "WTF?" moment when Lisa first opened her door. Soon I discoverd that it was all this stupid cow could do: open the door.

The 6.21 is comming and though I know it is filmed and ready to be aired I feel like I must say something. Some of the anti-Lisa fans speculate Lisa might be a supernatural creature... which would explain all the stupid behaviour and the lack of feelings, chemistry and understanding. I'd like that. But I don't trust the writers. They don't seem to acknowledge what is wrong with Lisa, Ben and this whole mess - ergo... they didn't fix that.


My patience is almost gone. Now, I almost hate this show. If Lisa and Ben are not gone for good after finale, I'm done with this show.

BTW, rename it please! "Jefferson Starships" would be appropriate title. Because... Lisa and Ben are horrible and hard to kill.
