what the writers of spn are trying to do to dean this season

I can’t tell if the gif means they’re making Dean work over and over again to keep Sammy and other unconcious/dead people upright and alive

or it means the writers are trying to keep him in the closet but he just keeps throwing himself out

either way the accuracy is outstanding

something I just realized

“those things will kill you”

how much money do you want to bet that those were the first words Greg said to Sherlock ever? when Sherlock was a drug addict and Greg found him somewhere? and probably it wasn’t about cigarettes but it was about whatever Sherlock’s drug of choice was???

Smith tried pretty much everything. Playful, petulant, shouty, giddy, mopey, nasty, lachrymose … he put it all out there, but with nothing really at stake, it was like watching a workshop at the Actor’s Studio or something. And his even his considerable charms couldn’t smooth over his character’s jaw-dropping sexist comments, leering at women, and non-consensual kissing—culminating in the groaningly poor regeneration episode “The Time of the Doctor,” in which he essentially planted one on the Pope. Now, he apparently had had a relationship with her, but that’s also a problem: Yet another powerful woman turns to putty in the Doctor’s hands? Again, bad fanfic.

The Atlantic: “How Doctor Who Betrayed Matt Smith”

I just reblogged this article but, ugh, this needed it’s own post. It is bad fanfic. It’s embarrassing, in a way, and infuriating in every other. I don’t care who you are, writing a franchise is not about you, it’s about the integrity of that property and what you bring to it.

All of this. I’ve said this. I think Matt Smith has done the best he can, but I really don’t like what Moffat has done. I’m hoping that with Peter Capaldi being an older and more established doctor he can challenge moffat more.
