freedom, freedom, freedom, oy!

Last night I dumped Supernatural. I deleted the five episodes I hadn't watched, my TiVo season pass, all the LJ communities I was watching, and all the SPN-related interests from my profile.

About 5% of this was, yes, because of the misogyny. The bigger issue for me, though, was that the show has gone from sort of okay (season one) to really, really awful (mid-season three). The writing, acting, and fandom all finally combined to create a black hole of suck from which nothing good could escape. Also, shows about dudes hanging out with other dudes are BORING.

Anyway, now I have more time to watch shows that don't actively fill me with rage because of their crappiness!

I FEEL SO FREE!

Sad to say, even with all the crap that was happening on the actual show, the part that feels BEST about bailing is getting out of that fandom. I mean, there are some serious crazies in other fandoms (hello, BSG!), but something about the combination of The CW, Jensen, Jared, and an amazingly incompetent creative staff has created some kind of horrifying mutant psycho über-fan for this particular show. If LJ is in this much of a tizzy now, can you imagine what's going to happen when the show gets cancelled?! It's going to be incredible.
