I plan to post something on my own LJ asking those who no longer like SUPERNATURAL to please defriend ME, since I am in this fandom for THIS SHOW and if my "friends" aren't, I'd prefer they defriend me.
I love SUPERNATURAL and all the negative remarks I've heard about this ep, 11, and 9 and 10 before the hiatus make me want to leave online fandom altogether! Frankly, I think I liked it better when I was ignorant during all of season 1 and much of season 2. I didn't seek out online fandom for SPN until after I'd seen "Born Under a Bad Sign," which is when I realized I was CRAZY about the show and really wanted to dive into it and share it with others.
However, once WANK became a big part of the deal, then there was the giant Rubela brouhaha, I seriously began to wonder--am I still happy in this fandom? I made it a vow to stay away from Television Without Pity, because the wank over there hurt my soul. I left a couple of lists for the same reason.
I'm not saying I expect a Pollyanna world, folks. SUPERNATURAL is not perfect. I admitted as such in my own review of Thursday night's episode. However, it was not terrible, and certainly not awful enough to make me stop watching the show altogether! I LOVED eps 9 and 10, and if you didn't, you're entitled to your opinion, just as I am! If you want to leave fandom, please go. But don't try to convince others that you're right and drag them away with you. Let them make up their own minds.
As far as I'm concerned, SUPERNATURAL is the best things that has happened to television, and to me, in a very long time. If you no longer feel the same, please defriend me, with no hard feelings!
