Supernatural 512 in which Sam is generous and kind

[noracharles]

So this baby geek steals Sam's body, and without Sam's consent uses his body for sex and tries to murder Sam's brother. But Sam generously and kindly tells adorable baby geek (geek boys, don't you just love them?) that his friend Nora has a crush on him. Won't Nora be thrilled to have this raping, murdering body thief come onto her right after her body was stolen and used to kill her friend by jamming her hand right into his bleeding, screaming body?

That really is so wonderful and thoughtful of Sam. It's good to know that even when Supernatural makes gentle fun of geek boys, it's always with love! Because geek boys deserve all the sex in the world.

Good heavens. This is the show so many fen love? *frightened*

[noracharles]

It's a horrible, offensive, triggering show. If I didn't love it so much, I'd leave it.

Ok, I read the uncut portion of your post, and not picking up on the sarcasm was about to radically change my opinion of you, *facepalms*.

I loved SPN so hard, but it lost me a long time ago (S3) - it made its point too many times that I wasn't the fan they wanted.

[noracharles]

LOL, oops! It's typical of me to shoot myself in the foot like this.

You're right about how they keep making a point about the fans the want. I only started watching the show in the summer hiatus between seasons 3 and 4, and the combination of watching the show with a friend and reading all the best, most highly recced fic written during three years made me fall for the show hard.

But yeah, it's a painful love, when the show doesn't treat us right.

You got to have more faith in Nora! :-D

I've only recently friended her, and don't know her well at all yet - I had enough faith to click the link to check if she really was saying what it sounded like she was saying :o)

(Was more joshing than anything else, but I understand. :))

Nora, I've kept this post up on my browser for a whole day but can't think of anything clever to say in response to it. It's just a great post. I don't even watch Supernatural and I enjoyed the sarcasm and the way you nailed this kind of misogyny. Oh, it does strike me as very like the Man to be all, "Who cares what your feelings are, dear; here's someone of higher status who needs pandering to, so get cracking!" There's a scene in the movie "Laura" like that, when the murdered woman's maid gets a terrible shock and nearly faints; instead of having her sit down and getting her a nice glass of water or some smelling salts, everyone's all, "You know what would make you feel better? If you got all us Better People a round of cocktails." Augh, that's such a creepy scene.

Also, it's a wild coincidence that this ep of Supernatural should air just as I posted about something similar. Kismet! (Is that even what "kismet" means? IDEK.)

[noracharles]

Haha, it does seem like a coincidence :-D

On the other hand, you can't throw a brick at mass media without hitting some sexist ass, so maybe it's not that much of a coincidence ;-)
