Spoilers. You Know The Drill.
Nov. 4th, 2010 03:46 pmI just finished season 5 of Supernatural. It was pretty good, at least up until the last few eps, when everyone spent all the whining. I know they have a difficult life and anyone would in that situation would wish for a normal life, but I don't need to hear about it every five minutes. I like angst as much as the next person, but this was overdoing it a bit. I'm not sure I'll check out the sixth season (I'll definitely wait until it comes out on dvd this time next year. I enjoyed the whole 'boys on a road trip fighting evil' thing and I thought 'boys trying to stop the apocalypse' was interesting, as well, but now that both those plotlines are over (apocalypse averted, Dean with a normal life) I'm not sure I'm that interested in the show any longer. I'll probably still watch it on dvd since I've heard it's the last season and I do love SPN, but I'm not sure I'll enjoy it.
Anyway, overall I think season 5 was interesting and believable (for their universe, not ours, obviously). I enjoyed watching it and everything was tied up fairly nicely. There are some things that I don't get, like why Lisa was waiting for Dean and seemed so happy to have him in her life (unless we go with the fact that Ben is really Dean's biological son, which I sort of believe anyway) since their only interaction was pretty much a one night stand. I mean, Dean did save her son, which makes me think Lisa would be grateful to him and trust him a lot more, but I don't understand how they made the jump to TRU LUV, you know?
I also want to know if Chuck really is God (I'm assuming this will be answered eventually).
There were some great episodes this season and some funny lines (Cas being drunk/on a bender, cupids and their way of saying hello, Sam really growing into his role as responsible adult, Crowley - I really want their to be an angel named Azraphael in the SPN verse now. And even if there isn't I won't be that disappointed because I love the actor that plays him. This makes it harder to dislike him for being evil, though).
I also watched the second season of Being Human. I didn't see the first (although it's on my list). I'm not sure I like it. It's interesting enough for me to watch, but more as something to just put on in the background than any real love for the show. Too much random, senseless violence for me.
Oh, and right now I'm watching season 9 of Scrubs (the last season). It's odd so far with so many so the characters missing and the main focus being on a bunch of med students and the hospital being really different (entirely new actually), but it's not bad at all.
