is this... intentional?

gigglemonster posted an spn promo and normally I don't [ever] watch them, but this one I did. Am I the only one who thought it was pretty hilarious seeing two able-bodied white dudes set fire to a black guy in a wheelchair? Wow, does it get more symbolic than that? Former show, do you never learn? I realize race discussions are not very cool right now but I couldn't help pointing it out. I heard Jo might be back and thought I might tune in for one episode. But now I'm thinking, nah, I'll just skip it.

Also, I forgot how much I hate Castiel. (Not him exactly, cause I've never even seen a single minute of the last season, just the very idea of him pisses me off.)

I was going to do that music meme, and started to type it all out and everything, but I think I have wasted enough of your time for today. Thanks.

I'm sorry dude! I didn't know you what you were posting was going to be the music meme (i guess that's kind of a duh thing on my part) but I would've stuck around to answer it :(

Yeah that part in the promo is not very cool. I know I said in my post that I liked that part but I didn't mean I liked the fact that they're setting the poor man on fire. Cuz yeah that's definitely not buddies. A very large number of things wrong with it.

I have this rl friend who always watched spn on and off and all of a sudden thanks to s5 is completely hooked on it and my friend doesn't get hooked easily. and everyone in my flist is very much into spn and well - i wouldn't even consider the show, but it just struck me as really surprising that what has got everyone (even my rl friend) interesting, this castiel man, has turned you off. it kind of makes me want to admire you for swimming against the current - that must be hard.

I never notice these race things until people point them out but is that just me? I doubt they were killing him. And if they were, perhaps there could be a demon or something and it was a devil's trap on the floor we can't see. Or it's a summoning type spell or something. It was a circle of fire it looked like around the dude
I think since I'm a big old happy-go-lucky loon who's as bubbly as a washing machine full of a box of detergent I'm too gleeful to see anything bad. But also JO!!!! I'm just excited she's coming back at all. Getting to be a badass hunter. This promo is pretty fucking epic and I've seen it about 3847190 times and I love it and it looks like an amazing apocalypse is going down. Because with the way S4 ended, this is everything I was expecting and more in just 75 seconds.

AND THE SONG. ASFJKLAKSGF:F.

OMG I KNOW. I was seriously like *headdesk* Show...I don't know how they can't take a look at what they're doing and think: "Wait. Perhaps this is not the best idea we've ever had..."
