The most entertaining things about Season 3 of Supernatural...

[meganbmoore]

...is watching Ruby kick the crap out of Dean for about a minute and a half.

I have to say, for all the season's problems, I think the worst is the way she spent the entire season saving and helping them and he constantly called her a bitch, and eventually added slut to it.  And he was doing this while she was saving his life, and even when she was ready to kill herself to save them.

Incidentally, regarding Gordon and Hendrickson:  I think they redeemed themselves regarding Hendrickson in Jus In Bello (though Dean's horror at the idea of a pretty adult woman being a virgin and his "sweet young thing who ain't even been laid" killed my good will there), I think they dug the grave even deeper with Gordon.

Ruby kicking anyone's ass is all kinds of goodness.

<3 Ruby. And I don't even watch this show.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I confess, half of why I like her is that she consistently shows Dean what an idiot he is and shoves his own insults becak in his face. Bela does the same, but not as much. (She deserved a lot betterthan what she got.)

It's about halfway through the last ep, if you just want to watch that part.

I shall keep this in mind. Thank you. =)

I think the overall best thing about season 3 was Ruby. She was really great and a welcome addition considering the show doesn't have that many female recurring characters. I'm still sad about Jo and Ellen disappearing from the show.

I'm surprised by how much I like Ruby. Admittedly, some of that has to do with Katie Cassidy's acting not being great initially, but she was really good once she got ahold of the character.

I finished season 2 in twop recaps and thought about picking back up with season 3, marathoning straight through. I saw LJ chatter and the one-paragraph recaps on the twop index pages about heaven/hell/angels or something, and I'm a TOTAL SUCKER for that mythology. (Hey, you have any recs in that department?)

But I got about 2 minutes into season 3's opening ep and realized I quit because I didn't enjoy the show anymore. (When the last episode of a show you watch is one you actually like, yet can't find the motivation to continue with the next ep, I think it's a sign to let it go. This happened to me in both Supernatural and Battlestar Galactica.)

To me, there's too much to watch and read that spending the hours not really enjoying myself doesn't seem a wise investment.

I find it easier to tolerate watching things I don't like anymore than I do reading things I don't like. Mind you, I only even watched this because I have that ARC to read.

Regarding angels/devils/heaven/hell: i have a few manga.

Was that a typo with the any? I'm going to read it as such. :)

I get weird with books. If it's a book I know I should read and I'm having problems, I go either way with finishing it up. The Once and Future King annoyed the crap out of me, but I got pretty far before the library demanded it back since someone had it on hold. It's one of the classic King Arthurs, and I'm still a little ashamed I haven't read it. I will finish the book eventually.

With tv, though, I've seen too many shows turn into slushed crap after multiple seasons, and I feel like I've wasted hours of my life. Alias burned me badly, and I'm punishing JJ Abrams by refusing to watch Lost. Not much punishment, I know, but I'm still bitter for him abandoning the awesome of Alias season 2, and even parts of 3, for Mission: Impossible 3 and Lost.

It's funny, I see a lot of people on lj being completist and finishing shows even though they don't really like them anymore (BSG is a biggie) but I think my habit is to abandon and go back years later. I didn't finish off Buffy or Angel until years after they ended, although I watched the opening seasons live.

Oh, yes, manga recs please! I could use a new series, Monster disappointed me. I'm thinking of eBay'ing the entire series since I bought them all and didn't care for it enough to keep it. I only bought them because FMA was so awesome and I ended up purchasing after the first 8 or so; I thought I'd want to own Monster as well since I'd heard it was so good.

Preacher kind of satisfies my kink for heaven/hell/angel stuff but I'd like others for when I finish it up.

Angel sanctuary is a heaven/hell manga that I have ridiculous love for, but it's...weird. Demon Ororon starts strong but is amazingly depressing and violent by the end. But it's only 4 volumes.

I actually liked Bela. If I were 13 and wrote self-insert-fic, it'd probably be her

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I liked both.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I think Katie Cassidy was a huge, huge loss for the show.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

ME TOO.

[lostopenwindows.livejournal.com]

She really was. I don't think Genevieve Cortese is a good replacement.

And it seems like they deliberately backed away from anyone who had decent chemistry with the boys.
