Airing of Grievances: Supernatural

Last year, I moaned about the crap-fest that was Heroes season 3. This year, Supernatural takes the cake. I started watching the show in 2009, when I borrowed the first three seasons from a friend and watched all of it in just about two weeks. I fell in love with the brothers and with their relationship. Most of all I fell in love with Dean Winchester.

I then watched season 4 and all caught up, started to watch season 5. I have to admit that season 4 wasn’t all that good, I decidedly prefer monster of the week episodes mingled with character-driven arcs but the whole thing with the apocalypse did not sit well with me. Then, season 5 started and OH MY LORD, how ridiculous the whole thing is! So, Supernatural earns the “Worst TV Show” award of 2009 for the lame story arc, for the sheer amount of Deus Ex Machinae, for the craptastic acting by at least one protagonist (come on, Sam has TWO facial expressions: one to say, “Dean!” , the other to say, “Woe is me,” the rest are minor variants) and overall sucky-ness. This is why,

Smugglivus Presents:

Illustrated CrapFiesta (2009 Edition) – Supernatural Season 5

Warning: SPOILERS!

So, season 4 ended with the brothers, after a few episodes on opposite sides , coming together to defeat Lilith and realising it was too late, Lucifer was about to RISE MUWAHAHAHA.

Season 5 starts right at that moment and after a build up of light, sound and magic.

…the kids are rescued at the eleventh hour, only to learn that

Meg is back and she tries to kill them, then the angel dude tells them that Castiel is dead, the apocalypse is nigh, it’s all Sam’s fault…

Sam: *woe is me*

and that the only thing they have is this Michael’s Weapon thingy who turns out to be … Dean.

Dean: *excuse me?*
Ana: *ha?*
