I haven't done it in a while because I needed to stop grinding my teeth to dust ...

... but reading even part of one of Demian's painfully unfunny Supernatural recaps on TWoP is apparently enough to send my on-again, off-again urge to write my own damn SPN recaps raging back to life.

Thanks a lot, TWoP. *headdesk*

(My brain's habitual response to bad writing being, "Aw, hell, *I* could do better than that!" gets me in so much fucking trouble, I swear to God.)

WRITING, DAMN IT.

Thank you! THANK YOU! Ok, you don't know me, I pretty much lurk due to chronic shyness, but I love your stories, and now I have found a kindred spirit in annoyance with TWOP's treatment of Supernatural this year.

I've always hated Raoul (I voted to that effect in a poll on the forum, unfortunately everyone else seemed to love him), and last year most of the recaps seemed to consist of unfunny Raoul moments which I had to scroll past. I mean, we all wanted Demian because Drunken Bee was pretty clueless - my breaking point was during her recap of Faith, when the doctor called Sam "Mr Berkowitz" and she asked if this was a Jewish joke. Seriously. She seriously had never heard of David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam. I'm not even American and I've heard of the guy. However, Demian has turned out even worse. I have this theory, that after a few seasons, the TWOP recappers and posters decide they dislike a show and its direction, and change their opinions accordingly (see Buffy and Angel).

I just can't see what's so terribly wrong with Supernatural this season, and I couldn't see it last season either - I loved both Croatoan and Hunted, while acknowledging that they have weak spots, and I've enjoyed all of the eps in Season 3. I can't even read the recaps anymore, or the forum: I just go to the recap page, vote for the ep, and visit the ratings thread. Even the joy of the media thread has been ruined for me, because this week they were nitpicking a line of Dean's in the director's cut. One jokey line. I'm just . . . almost speechless at this point.

Sorry for the tl;dr on your journal, it's just refreshing to see that I'm not the only one thinking this way, and I can't express it on the boards as it's not allowed (rolls eyes).
Thanks again for your great stories and good luck with your writing!
