SPN 5x17

So I've pretty much gotten to the point on SPN where I watch it like it's badfic with a lot of entertaining crack, and laugh at it a lot. Like last week's episode, with angels flying around like B-52s and Ash hacking heaven and so forth. Awesome crack, majorly WTF if you stop and think about it for a few seconds, or still care about the characters, or such things.

But Thursday's episode would've been one of those chapters on the Interminable Badfic That You Can't Stop Reading where you backbutton like crazy and then run off to complain under f'lock, with a lot of "Oh no, she didn't!" and "Dude, srsly, has she even watched the show?" and "D'you think someone should comment and tell her this is really horribly offensive, or does she just delete those comments?" and "Why am I still reading this pile of suck, OMG" and so forth.

"On a good day you get to kill a whore"?!! I just ... don't even. Do they even THINK about what they're WRITING anymore? I swear, SPN is the show that makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER about SGA.

I do like SGU a lot, as I think you know. Although I can see why it doesn't appeal to a lot of people, which is a pity really because I occasionally feel quite guilty about liking it! ;P

I'm not especially fannish about it yet, though. I'm getting sucked into the Criminal Minds fandom at the moment (lurking as yet), where I have to admit I was quite surprised at the low amount of ship wars, and the fact that nearly everyone seems to multiship. And the characters who get bashed on tend to be the two who left the show a couple of seasons ago, rather than current main cast members - a nice surprise! Mind you, I get upset about any spoilers, even for shows I'm not that fussed about but watch anyway.

I don't think that I will watch SPN. I've already got Bones to fill my 'show which I keep coming back to despite thinking I should really just give up', after all ;)

This is the show I don't admit to anyone else that I like. To be fair I kept past the few things I didn't like at the beginning because I was desperate for spaceships and aliens on my TV...and then I kind of got hooked.

Not sure I'm fannish about it...but it's gotten interesting lately. :)

I think if SGU lost the stones for good and just kept going forward it could become really good. The whole going back to earth for booty calls...is problematic for me. Having said that there is so much potential here.

No one should feel guilty about liking what they like! Actually, this afternoon I've been reading a bunch of posts on Mary Sues from Metafandom (http://delicious.com/metafandom) and thinking about the general culture of negativity in fandom (my above post being an example of it, I think!) and how judgmental we all can be about other people and the things that other people like and identify with. *muses*
