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.

I just got into Supernatural last month, and the friend that got me into it has been telling me from the start that most, if not all, women characters end up dead somehow or put on a bus because the crazy fangirls hate them. :\ Even though I've only seen about 15 episodes of the whole series, I was not at all surprised that the both of them died. Really disappointed, but not surprised.

I know. Supernatural is such a mistognistic show/fandom. It really is.

The first episode begins with the mother getting fridged, and ends with the girlfriend getting fridged. It's just that in the first two seasons, it pretends that it's because of genre tropes and that it actually respects women. Bits of its true ways snuck into season 2, and then season 3 was essentially wallowing in hating women. (And everyone else who wasn't a straight white man, but expecially women.)
