Tags, Links, and Other Stuff

[moonshayde]

I use tags and links on my LJ to help myself out. I am crazy disorganized and it helps...somewhat. While I am going to be adding some definite new tags and links, I was wondering if anyone on my flist uses them to search people's journals? Because if you do and use them on my journal, I figure I can rearrange some stuff to make it easier on you.

And it wouldn't just be for you. It would be for me too. I am always up for suggestions on making things easier and neater.

Any tag or link of mine you'd like to see on here? For example, I lump all my fanart together as one and I don't divide it out. I might be dividing that one up again, but I'm not sure yet. That's just an example.

And even if you don't use tags or links or barely come to my journal, if you have any suggestions, I'm open! :)

Yeah, it would be nice to end this year, but I know we'll have a S6. I'm done angsting about it now, though. None of this is in my control. And depending on the story, it might be nice. Kind of like, an after the end of the world wrap up.

Anyway, I'm keeping an open mind about it. When I stress and get all control freak, I tend to be unable to enjoy the show and that happened to me a few times last year and in S3. I shouldn't feel that way about my fave show, so I've been training myself to just go with the flow.

It's hard though!

My biggest gripe is the fact that Kripke does things to please the fans and then tries covering his ass by saying that it was this reason he did it. I felt he did that with Jo and then when he noticed that his original plan had a following, he tried making up for it.

That's not necessarily always a bad thing, but I do agree that Kripke does it too much. He's written out characters that plan didn't work. And I am grateful for that as a watcher so I don't have to suffer through it.

Honestly, I thought Jo was forced in her first few episodes. It wasn't until BUABS that she clicked for me as a character. I wish that she and Ellen could have been recurring characters throughout the series, especially by then, but before then she wasn't working very well and he wrote her out. it's a shame though because it seems like the writing staff tends to really get characters right as they are leaving. I was so happy to see Ellen and Jo back this year and really not amused at their pointless death. I just wish the characters had had a chance and would have stayed until the end.

Alas, not my show and not my writing. But I agree with that criticism to an extent :(

I loved Jo in the beginning, she was supposed to be the doe eyed girl who wanted to hunt. She and Dean always had great chemistry and I loved the way he always looked at her. I've spent way too much time watching the episodes she was in. I think one of my favourite things was that Dean was afraid of Ellen.

My main problem is mostly, it's the female characters and everyone knows that female characters are not generally accepted by the fans. And he can't keep one. I wouldn't care so much if it didn't keep happening. Pam's death was pointless last season and she wasn't even a romantic interest.

Most characters aren't safe on this show. But I view this entire situation differently than you so I'm going to leave it at that.

I think Bobby and Cas are mostly safe. Fans love them too much. Even if Jim Beaver loves being evil and hinting that they're killing Bobby off.
