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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
