Why I Love Supernatural

[erda]

Continuing on with my New Year's resolution to spend more time writing about the things I love, here is reason #2 that I love Supernatural. The director did not seem invested in reining in Mitch Pileggi's incredible presence when he guest starred on the show, and in fact, allowed Caldwell to put Jensen Ackles in just the position I wanted to see him in.

Overall, I have to agree with your assessment. However, the SGA writers seemed so hell bent on killing the slash that my OTP hardly ever got to share a scene towards the end there. I started losing the love when they insisted on pushing a het pairing I couldn't get into.

I did love the first 3 seasons of SGA. I just felt the m/m interaction was so sparse and so grudging that I'm enjoying the overload of Sam and Dean together in almost every scene, and interacting almost exclusively.

I'm finding the fanfiction reflects the more twisted nature of the show, with lots more darkfic, heavy kink, tragic situations, etc. in Supernatural than in SGA, though of course that's countered by the fluffyness of the huge RPF thing going on. Being an angst lover, I'm having a lot of fun with the Sam/Dean stories. I like my characters broken.

I totally get that- I went from "OMG claustrophobic!" to "whee! fresh air!" while you went from "why can't they even share screentime?" to "together every scene!"

Same observation, but in reverse :)

But yeah- Sam/Dean is SO fucked up and so broken and so wrong that all the fluff has to happen in RPS land. There isn't a lot of room for the wacky fluffy sweet the way there is in SGA. But oh, the angst is good...
