What bugged me about the Supernatural season finale

Ok. First let me get out of the way the stuff I didn’t like about the finale, not the themes and what I liked or observed which I’ll get into in a later post, but just specific parts. First Jack being a whiny baby the whole episode was gross and drove me crazy. I know what they were trying to do with the story telling, i.e. making Jack have conflict so he would be seduced by Lucifer but the way they wrote it or how he acted it just made him sound whiny and like a child.

Ok the second and third things I didn’t like I want to get into specifically. They are the shameless plug they gave to the hoax of global warming and the unnecessary and completely Un Cannon bash of Trump. I don’t want to get into the global warming thing too much just to say that man made climate change is a hoax but I get TV world is liberal by nature so they threw it in. The Trump thing made me mad because in Season 12 not that long ago they had POTUS on the show and it was just this guy seeming to indicate that Supernatural was in a different universe than ours where Obama and Trump didn’t exist as Presidents. I looked up when those episodes aired and they were December of 2016 when Obama was still president although the episode where they escape from the CIA Black site was technically after Trump would have been in office. (there was a break in the episodes from Early Dec. to Late Jan) The point still remains Trump as President is not Cannon because Obama wasn’t President and really in the real world if Obama didn’t destroy or try and destroy the country as bad as he did Trump would not have had to run and win to MAGA. So the Trump bash was completely not Cannon and an unnecessary jab by the liberal Hollywood people at middle America although most people who probably watch the show are not hard rock 35 year old southern conservative libertarians like myself.

❤ Meryl Streep’s EPIC Golden Globes Speech

Transcript from the NYTimes

Please sit down. Thank you. I love you all. You’ll have to forgive me. I’ve lost my voice in screaming and lamentation this weekend. And I have lost my mind sometime earlier this year, so I have to read.

Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press. Just to pick up on what Hugh Laurie said: You and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press.

But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places. I was born and raised and educated in the public schools of New Jersey. Viola was born in a sharecropper’s cabin in South Carolina, came up in Central Falls, Rhode Island; Sarah Paulson was born in Florida, raised by a single mom in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids in Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Vicenza, Italy. And Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem. Where are their birth certificates? And the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, raised in London — no, in Ireland I do believe, and she’s here nominated for playing a girl in small-town Virginia.

Ryan Gosling, like all of the nicest people, is Canadian, and Dev Patel was born in Kenya, raised in London, and is here playing an Indian raised in Tasmania. So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. And if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.

They gave me three seconds to say this, so: An actor’s only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us, and let you feel what that feels like. And there were many, many, many powerful performances this year that did exactly that. Breathtaking, compassionate work.

But there was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can’t get it out of my head, because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life. And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose. O.K., go on with it.

O.K., this brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call him on the carpet for every outrage. That’s why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in the Constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the Committee to Protect Journalists, because we’re gonna need them going forward, and they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.

One more thing: Once, when I was standing around on the set one day, whining about something — you know we were gonna work through supper or the long hours or whatever, Tommy Lee Jones said to me, “Isn’t it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor?” Yeah, it is, and we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight.

As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art.
