rogueslayer452Day 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!

Date: 2011-01-14 08:23 am (UTC)When it comes right down to it, these are characters that could have had their own storylines without having to be created simply to get romantically involved with one of the main characters to warrant them a place on the show. Lisa was perfectly fine being a self-sufficient single mother who had her own life, and had they spent some time constructing a workable storyline for Anna (fallen angel who disliked the workings in Heaven, wanted to make a difference and ended up helping the boys, etc; or alternatively, a girl who could listen in on angels and help them that way). Unfortunately both were wasted opportunities. One of the biggest flaws of the show is how they handle female characters.
I feel disappointed with how they've handled Lisa. In my opinion, it would have worked just as well had Lisa been only a friend and helped Dean find a place for work by himself without there being a romantic connection just for the sake of there being a "relationship" (term used loosely) And Dean could have been Uncle Dean or something, someone to lend a hand if needed but not take full responsibility. And if Dean needed to get back into the world of hunting, he wouldn't need all this unnecessary man angsting.
SEE SHOW. THIS IS LOGICAL. THIS MAKES SENSE. THAT CRAP YOU ARE PULLING, THAT SHIT AIN'T CUTE. :/
Why is it so hard for Sera to write interesting female characters?
Such a question to ask, which I honestly don't know. She's Stephanie Meyer in regards to her writing, particularly with the women characters on this show. Heh.
As much as I love fanon Dean/Cas, I hope it never becomes canon (not that I think there's much of a chance of that happening anyway) because I'm pretty sure Sera would turn it into melodramatic sop. I like that Dean FINALLY has a canon friend that he's not sleeping with. Profound bond indeed.
I completely agree with you on this.
Granted it would be lovely to see it in canon, not even gonna lie about that. But even if that were to happen I don't necessarily trust this show to even do that justice at all (unless it's Ben Edlund and Jeremy Carver teaming up to make it happen, and only if it's like the last episode ever for them to do that) I prefer them to stay subtextually connected through their profound bond because, let's face it, it's already canon anyway based on that alone. ♥

'And if Dean needed to get back into the world of hunting, he wouldn't need all this unnecessary man angsting.'
I think angsting is the reason they DIDN'T do that *points to icon*. Sera seems to love melodrama almost as much as Dawn O.
'But even if that were to happen I don't necessarily trust this show to even do that justice at all (unless it's Ben Edlund and Jeremy Carver teaming up to make it happen, and only if it's like the last episode ever for them to do that)'
I would love if that happened. Edlund and Carver (not to mention Jensen and Misha) would knock it out of the park. I love the idea of Dean/Cas happening in the very last episode because A. the other writers wouldn't be able to screw it up and there would be plenty of fanfic to show what happens to them after the final credits roll.
'I prefer them to stay subtextually connected through their profound bond because, let's face it, it's already canon anyway based on that alone. ♥'
True.
