In which Corey watches Supernatural

Episode Three: “Dead in the Water,” or “Gurgle.”

Well. Here we are again- it’s always such a pleasure. Remember when you really bored me twice? Oh, how we laughed and laughed. Except I wasn’t laughing. Under the circumstances, I’ve been shockingly nice.

No, honestly, I have! Waiting so long between episodes can only be described as a mercy. I was not impressed with your previous showings, Supernatural, I really wasn’t. That’s a shame, really- you have at least one likable character, and you shot something with a flare gun. The potential is obviously THERE, you just haven’t realized it yet. Are you going to? I don’t know. It’s only fair to give you more of a chance, I suppose. After all, quite a lot of decent shows had weak starts. The American version of The Office, for example. Jesus god, those first few episodes were awful. And yeah, it went to shit after a few seasons, but there was a time when it was one of the best things on TV. And Community! It’s first episodes were… well, they were legitimately amazing, but the show evolved so much as it went on. 

…and then that started being hit or miss in the third season, but that’s not the point.

The POINT is I’ve heard you, Supernatural, have some very good episodes for me, no matter how much you suck at the beginning, or how much suckier you are in recent days. 

So, once again, I find myself sitting in front of you, waiting for you to wow me. Let’s hope you do.

Episode Two: “Wendigo,” or “Egg on My Face, I’ve Been Pronouncing that Wrong Since I was Six. “

The response to my viewing of the first episode has been worrying. Still, since I am clearly a glutton for punishment (and I’ve heard that the first episode was the worst), might as well keep going. 

I’m really hoping not every episode starts off with this little recap, unless they’re done by the guy from Legend of Korra. I hate when they pull shit like that in front of every episode- though at least it isn’t Amy’s idiotic speech on the BBCA version of Doctor Who. 

Before the episode proper starts, I wanted to touch on something I forgot to mention last time- it strikes me as a little silly that their dad would come so far in figuring out the Woman in White business, and then bounce on another trip without finishing the job up. Way to commit. With that out of the way, it’s time to find new grievances! Let’s go.

Episode One: “Pilot,” or “In which Corey Curses Both His Internet Connection and the Predictability of Media.”

A lot of people whose opinions I value have told me that Supernatural is a good show. They tend to like the same shit I like (although in different, typically more OMG HANDSOME ACTORS SHIP EVERYTHING ways), so it might not suck.  But, as I’m sure you all know by now, I hate fandoms. I hate fandoms with a burning more intense than your first bout with gonorrhea after shagging Snooki, and the Supernatural fandom is one of the fandoms I hate the most. Because jesus. Fucking. Damn. Three minutes on Tumblr and I had to savior the damn thing, and THEN IMDB that shit and savior every fucking actor who has ever appeared in it, because otherwise my dash was a deluge of people whining about their “feels” and how adorable Jensen and Misha and whatever are, and how amazing the incest would be and a whole bunch of gifs that served only to clog up my dash without the proper context. So, naturally, I decided there were enough things I enjoyed that had shitty, embarrassing fandoms, so there was no point in getting another. After all, my relationship with the Homestuck fandom can only be described as abusive, and my brief period of giving a shit about Sherlock was utterly decimated by how inane and embarrassing the Tumblr fans were. It would be easier, less heartbreaking in the long run, to simply assume the show was as bad as its fanbase, and never watch a single episode. 

Except now I’ve realized the days are longer ever since camp ended, I rarely sleep, and I might as well occupy myself with SOMETHING.

So yeah, I’m liveblogging this shit.
