Supernatural: Ghosts N' Stuff Unlimited

Oh Sam, how do you get the internet on the old laptop in your car?

My recent Netflix binge has been the show "Supernatural" and boy has it been a ride. I can't say I truly enjoy the show in its entirety, but it definitely has its moments. Currently, on season 11, I think those that renew the show should have let it die awhile ago. While the production value is undeniably good, it has gotten to a point of absurdness that even fantasy can hardly hold together. There are a good amount of plot holes as well. However, all around, it is a great show regardless of its flaws and I feel like I need to share some of the thoughts I have had while watching this show. Some are good, some are bad.

1. Sam and Dean's car has to have hundreds of thousands of miles on it.

Throughout the show, Dean's car (which was originally his father's) has been used to drive everywhere. It is a 67' Impala and it is a pretty good looking car. However, the amount of engine work and overall upkeep for that car to still be relevant after all its travel and escapades have to be astronomical. The gas mileage can't be that great either. I get you have to look awesome while taking out evil, but maybe a hybrid would more economical, especially when you have to be credit card scammers.

2. How does Sam get the internet in Dean's Car?

Multiple times throughout the series there has been times when Sam has been on their laptop, surfing the internet for answers. My questions: How do you get the internet when you're on a road trip in the middle of nowhere. I know for a fact their phones are too old for a hotspot. Some sort of satellite internet receiver built in? That is some next level business right there.

3. WHEN HAS SPLITTING UP WORKED YOU TWO EVER IN ANY GOOD WAY.

Every single damn episode there is a moment where Sam and Dean decide to split up when investigating some godforsaken house and that looks like a group of 20 college students called home for 10 years. It is frustrating, especially when the past 10 episodes, when every time they split up, stuff goes south. You would think they would learn that having someone to watch your back is better than getting caught, tortured, and nearly killed every single time they split up.

4. Just let Sam or Dean be dead.

By season 11, both Sam and Dean have died multiple times. In the most mundane, exciting and ridiculous ways. It has really taken a large part of the excitement out of watching the show. Sam and Dean get into some trouble? No worries! I know that they either won't die or will somehow come back by the next episode through some way out there means. I think if either or one of them died, for any meaningful amount of time, would add much-needed realism and flair to the show. Make the audience actually care about the main characters. Make them not, for all intents and purposes, invincible.

5. The Men of Letters is a pretty cool story arc.

I absolutely loved when they introduced their part of "Supernatural" into the story. The Men of Letters has a pretty awesome backstory, actually gave Sam and Dean a "home-base" of sorts and gave them a legit source for them to pour over for information. One of the more important and awesome aspects to "Supernatural."

6. Less Talky, More Stabby.

There are so many points in the show where there is a quite literal stupid amount of talking to evil things results in letting more bad things happen. Why are you not killing this demon while he's down instead of talking crap to him while he slowly gets up? Why do you not outright kill evil instead of giving it a chance to collect itself and throw a few snarky comebacks at you? Finish it up man.

7. Sam and Dean argue about what each other do way too much.

Yes, they have both done horrible things. Yes, they have both done things that each other don't approve of. However, after coming back from the dead about 10324234235634 times, you would think this wouldn't be a problem. They both do what they need to do to survive and get the job done. I don't know why either one of them feels the need to have an ethical crisis every damn episode about what one of them is doing. It doesn't make sense. One drank demon blood for a very long time, and another one WAS an actual demon. Give up the "we are supposed to be good!" shtick.

8. Do people really not check badges at all? Law enforcement especially.

They walk into whatever crime scene, wearing whatever getup, with some fake badges every episode. Do people really not check badges or put any effort into making sure people are who they say they are? I mean cmon.

9. These people just let anyone up in their damn house.

Sam and Dean seem to get into every house they want too by simply saying they are FBI. People seem to just let anyone into their damn house. I wouldn't just let anyone into my house, regardless of who they say they are.

10. If they simply killed more bad things, less bad things would happen.

There is a lot of instances where if they simply killed the bad thing, instead of giving it 2nd and 4th chances and letting it go, there would be a lot of pain saved. These things are evil. Kill them. Don't be surprised they went out and did another bad thing. Does that really surprise you? I mean it gets to a point where if Sam and Dean just killed the thing right away, this entire stretch of episodes would not have needed to happen. This would mean more intriguing content and less of a headache to myself.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
