ayascytheRewatching Supernatural season 3 and 4 (we're up to 4x12 at the moment) and looking at some things with some distance, I can't help thinking that they are almost as brilliant as the first two seasons. A lot of things I was bitching about, characters or plot twists I didn't like ... it was really not that bad at all.
Bela, for example, was a perfectly fine character. The concept was great, she had convincing motives and the actress did a good job. Her only fault was to get in the way of the boys and that gave her all the hate of the fans (including me). Sam going darkside ... wasn't fun, of course, but it makes sense now that I already know where it ends. And honestly said, the entire SPN plot did never, ever make more sense than it does at the moment. Oh, and the angels ... I can enjoy them so much more now that I know how awesome they will be. Misha Collins plays Castiel so wonderfully faithful and doubting and insecure. It's a joy to watch.
There are still some things I can't get comfortable with, like Anna-the-cheesy-fallen-angel-that-shags-Dean or the completely wrong choice for the new Ruby-actress or the third Winchester brother (I'm still going to pretend that never happened), but all in all ... I sincerely think S3 and S4 didn't deserve all the bitching and wanking they got.
And uh, I'm gonna be gamemaster again tomorrow. Being torn between anxiety, panic and "oh, whatever", I kind of wonder why I'm trying this again, but I guess I just can't leave it be. Story-telling and being creative is one of the few things I'm really persistent at and, anyway, I'm way too stubborn to give up. Just ... wish me good luck, maybe, so I won't lose my confidence again? (I know I'm taking this definitely too serious, but just bear with me.)
