30 Days of Supernatural: Day Two

Day 02: Your least favorite character

Anna Milton

Just, ugh. I hated everything about this character from the moment she was introduced. She just had no point or purpose whatsoever, she just stood there and did nothing and was just annoying to the max. Her storyline was lame and sucked so hard that I practically pretend it never existed in the first place (I mean, grace in a tree? Seriously Kripke, seriously?) and the actress herself was just so painful to watch, such cardboard acting it was embarrassing. I've disliked characters before, but never on this kind of level of outright irrational rage that I have with her. I mean seriously, every time she appeared on the screen I wanted to punch her in the face, with her being incredibly self-righteous and acting like some special little snowflake when in reality she was incredibly irrelevant and amounted to nothing whatsoever to the show. So yeah, I'm glad they killed her off as brutally as they did. Good riddance.

ALSO? BITCH KILLED URIEL. URIEL WAS FAR MORE INTERESTING OF A CHARACTER THAN HER STUPID ASS, BECAUSE AT LEAST HE HAD PERSONALITY AND WAS PRODUCTIVE AND SHIT, OH AND THE ACTOR COULD ACTUALLY ACT AND NOT BE SO DAMN WOODEN WITH EVERYTHING. UGH WHY SHOW, WHY GET RID OF FANTASTIC CHARACTERS ONLY TO KEEP THE STUPIDLY WEAKEST ONES? FFS GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT SHOW, JFC. >:/

Runners up: Lisa, who is to a lesser extent because I liked her before they meaninglessly brought her back to fuck everything up with her character. For that I blame the writers. -__- Ruby v2.0 because that was such a disappointment and letdown from how awesome she had been in the third season. Also Grandfather Campbell, because he's a sketchy douchebag who needs to get his story straight. In fact, most of the Campbells really I just don't like in general. I also have to say Sam Winchester in these later seasons. I don't hate him, but I don't love him either. I'm mainly just indifferent towards Sam these days, which might get me burned at the stake for saying so in this fandom, but that's just how I feel.


Rest of the 30 Days of Supernatural Challenge.

In slightly more upbeat news, upcoming episode spoilers are happy-making. \O/ I love that Jim Beaver is kinda like the Gossip Girl of the entire SPN fandom. He just likes revealing all sorts of stuff, and thinking he might not get in trouble for it. ;p COME TALK WITH ME ABOUT THIS BBS, LET US SPECULATE AND MAKE CRACK THEORIES ON THIS!

There was no connection or chemistry between them at all. Again, it was such a contrived and pointless storyline just for that horrendously bad scene to occur, which we shall all scrub from our brains now okay? They practically ruined Titanic for me now because of that cringe-worthy ridiculousness. -__- The only reason people liked that scene was because Jensen got shirtless. That's it. If people wanna be shallow that's fine, but come on. That was just terrible. There was hardly anything between Dean and Anna anyway. It was about the same kind of ~connection~ between Sam and Madison, completely forced and painfully awkward and stupid.

I was kind of expecting, if they were going to bring her back, that Anna would actually get to do something productive this time if they were gonna finally kill her off, as a sendoff that hey, they got to do something with her character after all that time wasted in S4. BUT SHE DIDN'T. SHE STILL STOOD AROUND LIKE SOME STUPIDASS WITH HER SLOW-MO WALKING AND STIFF ACTING. LIKE WTF IS THIS SHIT?! I definitely cheered when she was killed.

The concept of a fallen angel would have been great had it been handled better, with an entirely different direction or possibly a better actress. But then again, this is Supernatural. They rarely give women characters anything decent enough to work with anyway. Which is an unfortunate flaw with the show itself. Such a waste.

Exactly! And as much as I don't mind seeing Jensen without a shirt, it could have happened in better circumstances. Imo it was a ridiculous scene and the hand on the ~foggy window~ made me laugh. And not in a good way. I even liked Madison more than her and she was only on episode... Anna was wasting our time in many more.

I wouldn't agree on that all the women are gone to waste, but anyhow, that's not the point. Can't always have nice things and one terrible character doesn't ruin a whole season or an episode.

She was such a waste in general, which is a pity because it would have been a great opportunity to learn more about angel mythology. Instead it turned more into a "wah wah woe is me I hated being an angel have sex with me" kind of episode which, dnw and utterly pointless.

True, not all women characters on this show have gone to waste since there have been some pretty awesome females. Though some of the recurring ones have either sidelined or screwed over at some point or another, which is unfortunate indeed.

I don't know why they insist on making everything so Meaningful. Did Sam feel awful about having to shoot some girl? Of course. But two days is not enough to love someone!! Seriously, there's nothing wrong with portraying the boys having an interest in someone and having a one night stand with her, nor is there anything wrong with a mature female character who decides she wants to have a fun night. So I don't know why they keep trying to make girls in random towns so Serious.

BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ~DRAMATIC IMPACT~ OR SOMETHING. IDK.

But I'm right there with you. What has irked me about the show is how they treat women or treat these kinds of situations where it seems like there's something deeper or meaningful when it clearly isn't. Perhaps they think that since there's a high percentage of women watching the show there needs to be an ~~emotional connection~~ or whatever. Which is ridiculous, embarrassing and insulting.

YES. One of the things I liked about Supernatural was that there was no romance factor. You didn't have all this relationship drama. And really, the boys' lives just don't lend themselves to relationships of any sort. They're on the move too much. And there's nothing wrong with that.
