aurora_novarum has recently tried out SPN after swearing she wouldn't. She's been watching S4 and she's having a hard time getting into it. She doesn't get the hype. She doesn't understand the appeal.
Mind you, but she hasn't seen the rest of the series! *shakes her*
Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to convertaurora_novarum.
I can't do this one alone. She's being stubborn.
But I mean, she missed so much of the build. She's in the middle of the action, but none of the build. She missed the hearty John stuff. She missed a good chunk of Yellow Eyes. She missed Dean's prior heartbreaking stuff. She missed Sam's conflict. The entire ON THE RUN FROM THE LAW arc.
So, post links here. Persuasive essays. Tell her why she should keep trying. Post pictures. Vids. Whatever. I don't care. Whatever it takes to meet the objective.
I do ask that you try to keep spoilers to a mimimum. S4 is a HUGE spoiler in and of itself, so she's ruined some of the fun for herself, but in the event she finally sees the light *snicker* I don't want to spoil the series for her. Unless she is okay with spoilers. But I want to be on the safe side.
Don't scare her off!!
stargazercmc don't make me come after you next...

Date: 2008-12-01 11:36 pm (UTC)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.
