Supernatural is my life, obviously

[katikat]

So, the Supernatural fandom is on a war path. You know, the whole spoiler about the two new regular female characters being introduced raised everybody's hackles. But what's worse, the fans now started to fight among themselves. Should we write Kripke and the execs about how we don't like their idea at all or should we keep quiet, wait and see and hope for the best? People call each other idiots and slurs like "Shut the fuck up" are pretty common these days.

This whole thing makes me really sad. One half of my friends list is for making our displeasure known, the other is ready to wait and see. And me? I'm caught in the middle.

I really don't like the spoiler. Really. Not a bit. I've seen shows die a painful death because of what they plan to do. This isn't the brightest idea and it'll ruin the whole point of the series and disturb the chemistry between the two main characters. But I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am the tiniest bit curious about how they'll handle this whole situation.

I hope that my friends won't take it as a betrayal or something or think me dumb. The thing is, that I really needed to make some peace with that news. Since it was the execs' idea, we are stuck with it so I decided to cross my fingers and hope for the best. Because otherwise, I would freak out. I would freak for the next three months and I really don't want to spend the Summer in such state of mind. I take everything very hard, especially when it's something I really don't like. I wouldn't be able to enjoy anything about the show until we know how it turns out. And so I decided to come to terms with this change. And if it doesn't work out? Well, then I won't feel so sad if they cancel the show after season 3.

Yes, I'm trying to be zen-like :))

Awww sweetie, cmon... *hugs*

You need to calm down. I have faith in the ratings system :D When they come down the mistakes shall be undone. And you never know, it might be fun to see a couple of new faces for awhile, then let them slinker off like Jo did afterwards :)

And if it doesn't work out? Well, then I won't feel so sad if they cancel the show after season 3.

Yikes. Now that sounds vaguely like you might be willing to give up on the show as well :( Let's just hope it doesnt come to that. No matter how optimistic I'm being right now, I know I will be seriously gutted the day the show ends.

Well, that's what I'm afraid of - the ratings system. If the ratings sink even lower... We ended the season at barely 2.80 mil. viewers. That's 1 mil less than with what the show began this season. And more than 1.5 mil less than what it was the 1st season.

I won't. Never ever. There are brothers in this show and they are the main characters - and brotherly relationships always fascinated me (maybe because I'm an only child). But my obsession with this series is almost unhealthy and I know it. When I'm not working, my life is about Supernatural. And I mean it literally. I have no social life and like only three friends (and one lives on the other side of my country). It really scares me how much my happiness depends on this show. So, if I didn't like the next season much, it wouldn't crush me completely if they axed it. But of course, I would prefer to love it and have at least two more seasons to finish Kripke's five-years-plan.

Yes, still trying the whole zen thing :D
