Just one thing about 10x15

I'm pretty sure Jared didn't actually mean to end his gorgeous campaign with comparing us people with PTSD to murderous blood sucking misogynistic colonialist monsters who are a danger to society and to their loved ones and are likely to be killed off - maybe for the best.


ETA:O! I should be clear, though - I have no doubt that Jared had the very best intentions in linking the ep with his campaign, it's just probably not thought through

ETA2: I'm not referring to Jared's future spoiler, but to the thing he wrote about this ep re the campaign: " I couldn't help but be struck by the fact that it dealt with our soldiers coming back from war with PTSD and, all too often, suicidal thoughts" - suicidal, homicidal, getting killed for being a monster cidal....


At least I got the writer right again. If SPN writers wrote for anon memes I might be better at guessing those!
Or, better yet, if slash writers wrote the show.

I'm sure Jared had good intentions, but I agree with your frustration. Another lj-friend posted yesterday about how the monster cheapened the discussion of PTSD, and I think she's right. There were so many opportunities for them here - the soldiers' actual non-monster-induced PTSD, Sam and Dean's PTSD, John's PTSD from Vietnam - any of those would have made for interesting discussions.

Yes yes yes yes
I'd love some interesting discussion of those!
Ugh this episode. So many issues with it.
