SPN: The French Mistake
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 11:54 amSo I watched the episode "The French Mistake" for Season Six of Supernatural last night.
I was severly caught off guard and rather disappointed with it. Not only because of all the potential they did not tap into, but I was left with the feeling that the people that do the show, and the actors themselves, all hate the show, and possibly on some level- each other. I mean, it was like a big deal for Jared and Jensen to be talking to each other. And was that really Jared's mansion in the episode? Were the actor's realistically portraying themselves when they were, uh, playing themselves? God, that'll screw with your brain. Example: When Dean and Sam meet/interact with Misha, is Misha acting like he would normally, just being himself, or is he acting in a way he was instructed to act?
I dunno, it was a chance to do amazing things and it was almost like they mocked the show, and in turn, fans of it. Like "Who the f*** would want to watch this? It's ridiculous. We're just in it for the money."
Then you got back to the right 'verse, and you find out that Dean and Sam were thrown in this other realm with no warning, no way of being prepared, no idea of knowing if they could ever get back or how, and it was all done as a diversion. As if Cas didn't care about what happened to them at all. I just didn't like it. I'm not liking this entire season, everyone seems out of character and everything is just badly written. Fans write better stories.
I just found it all kind of sad. I would want the actors to be able to get along and be friends, I mean, they work together and have for years. We love the characters they bring to life every week and the story they've taken us along on. It just seems wrong if they hate the show, their characters, the other actors, and probably to some degree, even the fans.
