tebtosca: (Dean really Carver?)
[personal profile] tebtosca
You know the most egregious thing about this season so far? Not that it's offensive (it is) or that they turned a BAMF into a hobo (they did), but the fact that it has been boring. And I think this simple graphic post sums up why better than anything I can write, and in a humorous way.

Redundancy--ur doin' it rite!

CHECK IT.

LOL I know why the thought of it pleased you (even though we vehemently disagreed) but you admit that it's gotten redundant, right? I mean, maybe it'll get more interesting around mid-season but this writing bench doesn't inspire hope!

p.s. enabling anon commenting is the most entertaining thing I've ever done. I've always been pretty honest with my opinions (comes from doing the satirical recaps on my own blog for so long) so not everyone is going to agree with me. And some disagree harder and more anonymous than most haha

Heh, I've written three fics that are almost exactly the same about this plotline, so clearly my love of it trumps any objections I might ever have had to redundancy.

I need to check in to a hospital.

Don't completely agree with you because I'm finding stuff that I'm thoroughly enjoying, although a big yes to calling it boring, but...but...but...that's Liberace and Dean Martin and I can't...Liberace's socks and Dean Martin's hip thrusts, just. What were you saying again?

just read a spoiler for 908. JC, let's write a post that lists all of the fics that have already done these plotlines--better and sooner--, and compare and contrast scene by scene to canon.

Every single plotline has been done in fics better and pornier. I think that might be the thesis statement for the show at this point!

Wow, a lot of assumptions in there, missy. Not everyone is into *whispers*kinkythings*unwhispers* like polygamy. That's a slippery slope straight down the hill to Doodle.

Man Liberace used to make me happy. Then I watched a biography about him and I realized how sad and fucked up his head was. And now he makes me sad.

Kind of like Supernatural - although Liberace never forgot his bling unlike a certain hunter I know.

Noooo. An actual biography (Well as real as bios on the Biography Channel get. I'm stil LOLing over some of their geography)+ interviews with his former lover.

Liberace was actually a twin in the womb. He was a very large baby, but I believe that his brother was stillborn. His mother blamed him for killing his brother.

So he was kind of f'ed in the head and a lot of the plastic surgery he forced his lover into was to make him look like Liberace (aka Liberace's dead twin.) It was kind of sad. :(

ha! I love your posts! (though the Doodle is going straight over my head - I figure that's something I needed to be in on a while ago. ;D)

This is EXACTLY where I was at the beginning of last season. Hated it with a passion and was BORED out of my brain (I even renamed one of the episodes on my hard drive - "Citizen Boring").

As always with this show I feel like I'm waiting for that moment when it all makes sense and I can go…YES! Show is CLEVER - it was all for a great reason!! That didn't happen last season so there's no reason to think it will happen in this one. Though, I'm enjoying the idea of this one much more that last season. Angel possessed Sam does things to me. I can't even explain that.

Also. Sam and Dean and still pretty so there's always that. Hey, I never said I was in it for the intricate character development and meaningful story lines…

LOL Doodle is new! It's literally just Dean/Poodle, my current OTP :P

Yes, last year was boring too. LOL fucking Carver! I should get that stitched on a pillow

I understand in theory why some people love(d) the Zeke thing, but the redundancy of it is what is boring me. It's paint-by-numbers at this point, which makes it comical (see: the tumblr link in this post). But I agree that the boys remain flawless to look at, so there is always that :D

ETA: Oh god, I swear I thought your icon was Bobby kissing SAM for a minute and I was going to be like "and I thought Doodle was subversive" lolol

BWAHAHA, of course!! (oh man, don't know if you've seen the crap flying around tumblr about Dean and the poodle… makes me laugh…).

The thing is… they need to do something NOW with the story line. Next episode. I want Zeke having to resurrect everyone to mean something and then I'll be kinda happy. But I think it won't so..yeah. Perhaps Kevin will need to be brought back from the dead next week. Then maybe even Dean himself. The tumblr link was pretty accurate. If we go by last years set up we won't get the (complete) change of direction until about ep 11.

Ack! Bobby kissing Sam! I can't…

Doodle is the best thing all year, mainly because it's pissing certain people off so bad :P

The poodle makes it thought. She's so sassy! Smile so coy, one ear flapping in the wind, perfect slo-mo turn. She's a star, yo.

Well, you know that Sam isn't going to find out shit until the mid-season hiatus finale (that's not even a spoiler, it's just the way this show works lol) and then I'll sure he'll take off in a huff (rightfully lol) and we'll get a Dean/Cas episode or two and then something will happen and they'll pretend nothing happened, lather and repeat lol *yawn*

It's not just the plots that are redundant, it's that we're not getting any new character development. I saw some S5 reruns on TV the other day, and I was like "4 years later... we're still talking about this?".

Redundancy--ur doin' it rite!

So agree. The death-a-week thing a good example (but not the only one, unfortunately). The Ezekiel possessing Sam storyline (and human!Cas for that matter) is, in theory, interesting. And there's potential there! (and not just comic,look at Cas being a stupid human potential). But in reality, or rather, in the execution, all that potential is wasted. It's like Communism lol.

I laughed out loud haha

But seriously, I agree. The problem is that they don't have a capable enough writing staff for the execution. Carver himself is probably their best writer, and he only writes twice a year (and still manages to fall into his own cliches).

From: [personal profile] sylsdarkplace
It gets worse every week, and yes, so boring. I've gone from not looking forward to new episodes to approaching them with mild dread. The plots are like thinly sliced Swiss cheese spread with a stinky layer of lame ass humor as though the stench will distract us from all the violations of canon and character continuity. And the redundancy ... die die die die, while Ezekiel's battery runs down. By the time something happens in this plot line, we'll all be asleep or so drunk we won't notice.
