SPN 8.02

[logovo]

After feeling pretty meh and kind of annoyed at the season premiere,  this second episode was primarily a relief, because I still care. Supernatural season 8? I can't believe I've stuck to it for this long. This is about where I dropped out of following The X-Files, but that was mostly because of a lack of Mulder. 

When it comes to fic, I'm finding very little to read that I get completely pulled into, in any fandom. This makes me sad and turning more and more to novels, but I so miss my fannish squee.

I feel the same way; I thought the season 8 premiere was a hot mess and was asking myself how I can possibly stick with the whole season if it's all going to be that bad; but the second episode was actually an improvement, I enjoyed it more than the awful premiere so I guess I'm sticking with the boys for the next little while, at least. But I'm finding I absolutely cannot read any SPN fanfics right now; I just can't summon any interest in any of the many plot lines or 7 seasons' worth of tropes available in fandom. I find myself reading BBC Sherlock fanfics instead, even though it's going to be such a long time yet before we even get series 3, sigh; for whatever reason, I'm not bored right now with the Sherlock tropes, ha. I'm glad Merlin is back, too, but as far as really getting eagerly involved in any particular fandom again, I'm struggling to find anything approaching that same first, giddy love I had for X-Files and then SPN. It made me so sad to see what they did to X-Files, and I feel that season 7 of SPN had that same WTF flavor for me; I honestly can barely remember half the story lines from seasons 6 OR 7, compared to still being able to recall titles, quotes, guests, etc from every episode of SPN seasons 1-3.

Season 7 of SPN was the first time I skipped episodes and didn't bother with the finale until way past the air date. That from someone who used to arrange her Thursdays around this show. So yeah, S7, even though it had some things I enjoyed, it was disappointing. I'm sort of at a loss right now when it comes to fandom. I wish I could get into Sherlock, because I really enjoyed the 2 seasons, but there is so little canon and the wait is so long. Ay!

I know what you mean about fics set in season 7. I would start reading something and then lose interest pretty quick. I can't even think of one fic set in that season! I'm blanking out. Wow.

I do hope to find some other fandom to get into, but finding it is taking a lot longer than usual.
