Thursday TV Update

Watched The Vampire Diaries in real time, which was fun.

And then I watched the beginning of Supernatural. A friend and I left after the first act to chat, and I had my roommate spoil me for the end, in which Jo and Ellen die. Both of them.

Oh, just FUCK YOU Supernatural. Fuck. You.

The (apparently toxic as fuck) genderfail in Supernatural is what has kept me away from it. Despite the hot actors and shot-in-Vancouver X-files nostalgia and the paranormal angle that I usually eat up with a spoon.

But the misogyny is apparently so rank that I won't even bother with the show. I figure I should watch Mad Men instead and at least get some interesting commentary on misogyny-as-institutionalized culture.

I hear epic horror stories about the fandom too.

That sums it up nicely. The corners of the fandom I hung out in during season one where pretty nice, but at this point if I see another picture of Castiel on fandom secrets, I'm going to smack a bitch.
