Perspective, politics, and Misha being...Misha.

Watching this video of the entire cast thanking fans is kind of heartwarming and it loosens the disappointment I had previously because seriously, how can one stay bitter when they all look so genuinely happy and blessed about getting an honorable mention for the cover of TVGuide let alone actually winning. It places things into perspective, I think. No matter what we feel about what is happening with the direction of the show or how they choose to do publicity for it, these are people who are doing their job, working hard every single day, and to get this kind of recognition no matter how big or small in whatever format, must be like early Christmastime for them right now. So overall, despite everything, I am deeply happy for them.

And lol, Misha saying about us robbing banks and his expression when saying that made me laugh. Oh Misha, never change.

MISHA ALSO MENTIONED TUMBLR ON HIS TWITTER YOU GUYS. RUMORS AND THEORIES ABOUT HIM POSSIBLY STALKING FANDOM ON TUMBLR? COMING TRUE RIGHT HERE, LOLOMG. XD

Politics right now are seriously kind of making me wanna headdesk, though. I'm staying tuned with what is happening even though political things in general always tend to give me a headache anyway. It's stress-inducing and it makes me wonder how the simplest things can be so problematic. Like human rights, for example. I just don't understand how someone can claim they are a humanitarian and loves life yet completely discriminates against another just because they hold different beliefs or lifestyles and makes death threats and commits the most heinous hate crimes against them just because of those differences. I just, I don't understand that kind of mentality.

He then later backtracked his comments in an interview during a convention some while ago saying that people were taking what he said out of context, though I find Jensen to be someone who can be honest when he needs to be. Even if he didn't truly hate it he certainly hadn't been confident with that direction.

I often want to have like an Honesty Time with everyone to know what they truly think of the direction of the show and their character arcs.

I'd go in for Honesty Time!

It's interesting what comes out after shows end. Like, James Marsters was not that positive about Buffy S6 when he later talked about it at cons.

Yeah, and Charisma Carpenter was not thrilled at all about the direction of Cordelia in Angel, which I totally didn't know until recently, which really gives a whole new perspective on everything. It really is interesting hearing actors really give their opinions straightforward since they no longer have to worry what they can or cannot say that might hurt them/the show.

Oh, yeah, Charisma's story sucked. It sounds like Joss was not professional when/why she left in S4.

I know. I was taken aback by that whole story. :(

I'm just glad that they've made peace with each other now, though.
