How I Came To Supernatural (Really, Just To See What Meg Was Going On About)
I am something of an unorthodox SPN fan. I started at the end of season two when, bored during my thesis writing, I mainlined the entire run of the show one weekend. I was not a huge fan of either of the boys (something of an anomaly in this fandom!), and often, the treatment of my religion makes me want to thrown up my hands and leave in disgust.
So, you ask, what keeps me?
Originally, I was in it for the music. And the car. And Jo, because she was AWESOME. But as the show progressed I realized that SPN's writing staff had PLANS and that they were GOING PLACES and that they were all sort of unified about it. Also, it's usually pretty funny (though it sometimes tries too hard). So even when I was all "A racist TRUCK?!?!", I still had some faith in the vision of the show.
And HOLY CRAP has it paid off this season!
I think a bit of it is like Torchwood, where season one was pretty and sort of dumb, but season two was JUST BRILLIANT.
So watch them. Some of them are bad. Some of them are legitimately terrifying. Most of them are good TV.
