Just to let you know, I almost broke down in tears yesterday. No, it's not exam stress getting to me (yet). I just finished watching Supernatural Season 4 Episode 18. Now up to this point, everything's been pretty believable, I mean, as believable as a TV show about ghost hunters can be. But with this last episode my favourite show in the history of ever, just jumped the shark. And I now want to kill myself.
Sorry for any spoilers in advance. So it started out pretty normally, investigating a haunting. Then things got kinda interesting when the guy they were talking to thought they were live-action-role-playing a book series called Supernatural. They guys realise there's a book series documenting their lives as hunters down to every gruesome detail (as Dean finds out, even his sexual encounters). My favourite part is when they stumble across Wincest online, (just like in real-life) and here's the best bit, OPENLY DECLARE THAT IT IS GROSS. Even the Winchester boys agree that it is just wrong. So after my little squee moment of amusement, things started going downhill. They find the guy that writes the books, find out he has dreams about them and then turns them into books, and that soon, Sam is going to share "demonic passion" with Lilith. Wait, what? Lilith? We all know Sam's only got the hots for Ruby. And isn't Lilith a little girl demon (even if she's in an adult body)? So Sam's a pedophile as well as a demon-bloodsucker? This isn't the worst bit. Then Dean confronts the author, and Castiel shows up (btw, I love Dean's little nickname for him, Cas :) and tells Dean to lay off because the author, Chuck, is a prophet. WHOA. And that the Supernatural books will, in the future, become known as the Winchester gospel. BAHAHAHA. I ROFLMAO'd. Literally, until I realised what this meant. My baby had jumped the shark. I wanted to cry, I wanted to hit something, I wanted to hit someone.
Now, there's some press release form Eric Kripke saying that in episode 19 (which is coming out after a 2-week break, which is bad enough) the boys will meet their long-lost half-brother who's gone dark-side. WHAT. The episode's called "Jump The Shark", and it's a pretty fitting title. However, my dear, dear Mr. Kripke, why would you want to call it that? You jumped the shark just this week! Turn all this into some time-warp by some trickster, or Castiel or Anna just messing around, BUT SAVE THE SHOW. For the love of all things Supernatural, SAVE THE SHOW.
Though I must commend you on skilfully inserting a statement to all fangirls everywhere that Wincest fanfiction is disturbing, in every possible way.
