Oh, dear, I should have known that watching Supernatural would be a mistake. I am simply incapable of coping with anything remotely horror-related. Silent Hill completely ruined my life, and now, thanks to my new abusive fandom love, last night went something like this:
Riona: La la la, time for lovely sleep.
Riona's Mind: KILLER SPIDERS COMING OUT OF THE SHOWER
Riona: GAH
Oh, Winchesters. I love you too much to stop watching, but sometimes I wish you were in a different genre.
Regarding Ashes to Ashes: I can't believe that Drake hasn't been fired yet. She is a terrible employee. I mean, she annoyed me less this week than she did in the first and second episodes, but she is still an appallingly bad DI and doesn't even seem to realise it. Although I don't suppose anyone in their department is really the paragon of excellent policing.
lozenger8 says that she can't really see the point of Ashes to Ashes, and I think that's probably the problem I have with it. It's exactly what I feared it would be: it's Life on Mars all over again, but with heterosexual 'tension'. And I put 'tension' in scare quotes because Gene and Alex do not have an ounce of the chemistry that Sam and Gene had. Sam and Gene beat each other up and then have a smoke and discuss morality. Gene and Alex is just Gene perving over his DI; they can't have a proper fight if Gene won't hit back, and they can never be equals in the way in which Sam and Gene are because, let's be honest, Gene, much though I love him, is never going to respect a woman in the way he respects Sam.
