snarkview: 10×07, no strings attached
Tag: this show needs to die
Let’s be serious for a brief minute or so.
I just read about Jared pulling out of cons and needing his family etc and I have to admit, I do feel sorry for him. He asked for people to write to him I guess on FB/Twitter. I tweeted him, though someone should tell him that false validation and sympathy from people you don’t really know won’t help. I guess that’s something he’ll learn eventually. I’m never going to forget all of the problematic stuff he’s said or how he belittles the staff at airports like they’re beneath him but I do have some sympathy. I’ve been through some pretty dark periods in the past few months where I was very down and I didn’t want to be around a lot of people and my environment was stifling and not somewhere I wanted to be. It’s partly why I stopped blogging/recapping on here. So I can sympathise and emphasise. And I think it was good of him to pull out of the cons and tell people why.
Last time I posted about his charity the first comment was someone calling me a hater or whatever but I’m not. I want Jared to get better – and not just so we can all go back to mocking his hair and gently persuading him to get a haircut, but because depression is nasty and nobody should have to go through it. I still don’t (and will never) support his charity for reasons that I’ve said but in all honesty, I will never support a charity backed by someone in the public eye – but I do commend him for trying to raise awareness and being candid about his own issues.
In my opinion, having to deal with all of this under the eyes of a million SPN fangirls doesn’t seem smart and I don’t sympathise with him on that front because there definitely comes a point in life when your mental health > money and you need to make a decision that benefits you, and for his sake I hope he’s at that point. We know from past seasons that he’s had issues with his character and if that’s impacting him negatively, he needs to be able to walk away and regroup in private with his family.
Either way, I wish him the best.

Why would anyone want a smarthouse?
On Almost Human last night, the plot was smarthomes (I am surprised that they weren’t called iHouses) turning on their owners and killing them. The whole point was that the smarthouse provided extra security (in the form of a security guard with Cruella-de-Ville-esque hair – which would scare the fuck out of me, so I guess that makes sense). But the way it did this was very odd. Intruders were shot by a lasers. How many stray dogs would my smarthouse kill? Though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog on Almost Human, so possibly they all have RoboPets in 2048? Anyway, seeing has how all technology can be hacked, it would be pretty stupid to have smarthouse when the guy who you called an asshole could pay some hacker $100 (or whatever hackers going rates are) to basically end your life in a few seconds. Why not going for a smartweapon? Huh? Like, say the smartbat. Or smartremote. Or hell, smartfrontlawn/smartgarden – the bad guys wouldn’t even make it in. I’m sure a smarthouse does all kinds of other stuff but surely companies would make more money through creating all kinds of smartshit. Smartbricks, smartchair. Smarttoilet. And then combine them all together and call it a SuperSmartHouse?
Smartness aside, the episode was great.
Anyway. I really wish that Sam and Dean’s house had smarthouse that would inevitably turn on them and kill them. But no, instead Supernatural’s been renewed for a 10th season.
special snarkview! 9×05, dog dean afternoon. and yes. you read that right.
note from supernaturalsnark: because I am so (UNDERSTANDABLY) tardy when it comes to watching the show these days, the awesome JM, has offered to get her snark on, in her own way, and do some episodes (that I probably won’t ever watch). I’m pretty sure episode 10 is the next one I’m watching. Or the finale. OF COURSE, NOW I’VE JINXED IT. Anyway, I actually blogged about this episode before and its wonderful title Dog Dean Afternoon, and I am sad (for everyone who it was inflicted on) to say that it sounds even worse than it originally sounded.
Over to JM!
This episode was sucky. Really sucky.
There were maybe two moments where I chuckled. The rest? My jaw was on the ground at how mind-numbingly bad it was.
I’d read spoilers about this episode many moons ago, about how Dean gets to talk to animals and they’d even given it a rough draft title of “Dr. Deanlittle.” So I guess I knew what we’d be in for. Jensen talked it up and said it would be like Yellow Fever.
Wow, it was bad.
First, the talking animals. If you’ve ever seen the “Look Who’s Talking” movies or Dr. Doolittle, it was that sort of thing. But it was all wrong. Even Jared thought it was all wrong. That’s really saying something.
The German Shepherd they interrogated sounded like a mafia type guy. Think of a Sopranos minor player. Only thing I liked was him begging Dean to change the radio station when they had “I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner on (agree w/the dog big time here…). The Yorkie? Oy. That was teeth-cringing bad. He sounded like some really bad impersonation of Larry the Cable Guy or I don’t even know what. And he was really annoying. I was almost waiting for Sam (whom he bribed to get a belly rub in exchange for info) to flip him off – though he’d probably bite Sam. Actually, that’d probably be a lot more entertaining than the way the scene actually went.
The pigeon thing was kinda amusing, actually. Dean’s always made me snicker when he displays purple rage, LOL.
Dean acting like a dog? The “fetch” thing was eh… somewhat amusing. The “barking” and snarling at the mailman?? Not enough facepalm. And the leering at the female poodle? That was…. Freaky McFreakerton.
The Zeke/Sam thing is being dragged out to the death now. Shouldn’t Sam be a wee bit more suspicious of what’s going on? And shouldn’t he question Dean a lot more? I get it, they’re going to build up to some massive fallout but dragging it out to this extent is making things a bit unrealistic now…
The special effects with the Zeke transformation… no comment. If the Stargate franchise hadn’t all but dissolved by now, I’d say they should sue for copyright infringement LOL.
Sam’s hair is still bad, at least 95% of the time. I won’t keep saying that for each snark I’ll do. I’ll just call it “Ibid.” Whenever you see that, you know what I mean. I’d say it makes me weep, but I think I’ve become exhausted weeping for it by now.
That’s about all I got. Next time! Hilarity ensues as Castiel gets a job at the Kwik-E-Mart! How will he deal with Apu, his tyrannical boss? Will he ever figure out how to work the Super Squishee machine? Can Dean help out? Will babysitter Kevin let Sam and Crowley stay up to watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta marathon? Stay tuned!
I WOULD SO WATCH A SHOW ABOUT KEVIN AND CROWLEY WATCHING REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA. IT SOUNDS INFINITELY BETTER THAN THIS CURRENT MANIFESTATION (or infestation) OF SUPERNATURAL.
Of course, I would rather watch Real Housewives of Atlanta, period. And I do anyway and it is AWESOME because bitches be cray.
Dean wanting to have sex with a dog is par for the course with this show. At any rate, he’d probably sell its soul before the night was up.
Sigh.
I’d say that this is why we can’t have nice things but nice things from the SPN writers would probably make me cry. Like a baby. For days.
