It's weird, but I feel like I'm starting to fall out of love with Supernatural. It's not just the show but all the things around put together.
The fandom is going nutty. When it's not gen vs. het vs. the "madness that's Wincest", it's Ruby vs. Bela or Sam vs. Dean or whatever. Kripke is doomed whether he listens to his fans or not. Katie Cassidy is a bad actress and Lauren Cohan walks on water or the other way around...
Passionate fangirls are one thing, this is crazy. Yes, I like gen and Wincest, yes, I can do without het, yes, I like Ruby and I hate Bela, yes, I love Dean a teeny weeny bit better than Sam. But the wankiness of this fandom is making me feel like I should be ashamed of myself for even considering Wincest, for being a jealous bitch because I don't like Bela etc. etc.
What's going on with people these days? I mean, we don't like the same things. Fine. Whatever. But why troll other people's LJs and comms with hateful comments? It feels to me like all the enjoyment, all the fun is being sucked out of the show.
Because of all the stuff that's going on in the fandom, I didn't even look forward to the new ep and that's why I was probably rather luke warm about Ghostfacers. I didn't hate it, I didn't like it either though *sigh* It left me all "Huh? And that's it? O.o" The awful, terrible ratings didn't help either, of course.
Maybe I just need to take a step back and gain a new perspective. Maybe I just got too involved in the fandom and totally forgot that it's "just" a TV show that one should enjoy. Who knows? But something definitely has to change for me because I quite dislike this disconnection from the fun that's Supernatural *sigh*
