Supernatural: Ghosts N' Stuff Unlimited

Oh Sam, how do you get the internet on the old laptop in your car?

My recent Netflix binge has been the show "Supernatural" and boy has it been a ride. I can't say I truly enjoy the show in its entirety, but it definitely has its moments. Currently, on season 11, I think those that renew the show should have let it die awhile ago. While the production value is undeniably good, it has gotten to a point of absurdness that even fantasy can hardly hold together. There are a good amount of plot holes as well. However, all around, it is a great show regardless of its flaws and I feel like I need to share some of the thoughts I have had while watching this show. Some are good, some are bad.

1. Sam and Dean's car has to have hundreds of thousands of miles on it.

Throughout the show, Dean's car (which was originally his father's) has been used to drive everywhere. It is a 67' Impala and it is a pretty good looking car. However, the amount of engine work and overall upkeep for that car to still be relevant after all its travel and escapades have to be astronomical. The gas mileage can't be that great either. I get you have to look awesome while taking out evil, but maybe a hybrid would more economical, especially when you have to be credit card scammers.

2. How does Sam get the internet in Dean's Car?

Multiple times throughout the series there has been times when Sam has been on their laptop, surfing the internet for answers. My questions: How do you get the internet when you're on a road trip in the middle of nowhere. I know for a fact their phones are too old for a hotspot. Some sort of satellite internet receiver built in? That is some next level business right there.

3. WHEN HAS SPLITTING UP WORKED YOU TWO EVER IN ANY GOOD WAY.

Every single damn episode there is a moment where Sam and Dean decide to split up when investigating some godforsaken house and that looks like a group of 20 college students called home for 10 years. It is frustrating, especially when the past 10 episodes, when every time they split up, stuff goes south. You would think they would learn that having someone to watch your back is better than getting caught, tortured, and nearly killed every single time they split up.

4. Just let Sam or Dean be dead.

By season 11, both Sam and Dean have died multiple times. In the most mundane, exciting and ridiculous ways. It has really taken a large part of the excitement out of watching the show. Sam and Dean get into some trouble? No worries! I know that they either won't die or will somehow come back by the next episode through some way out there means. I think if either or one of them died, for any meaningful amount of time, would add much-needed realism and flair to the show. Make the audience actually care about the main characters. Make them not, for all intents and purposes, invincible.

5. The Men of Letters is a pretty cool story arc.

I absolutely loved when they introduced their part of "Supernatural" into the story. The Men of Letters has a pretty awesome backstory, actually gave Sam and Dean a "home-base" of sorts and gave them a legit source for them to pour over for information. One of the more important and awesome aspects to "Supernatural."

6. Less Talky, More Stabby.

There are so many points in the show where there is a quite literal stupid amount of talking to evil things results in letting more bad things happen. Why are you not killing this demon while he's down instead of talking crap to him while he slowly gets up? Why do you not outright kill evil instead of giving it a chance to collect itself and throw a few snarky comebacks at you? Finish it up man.

7. Sam and Dean argue about what each other do way too much.

Yes, they have both done horrible things. Yes, they have both done things that each other don't approve of. However, after coming back from the dead about 10324234235634 times, you would think this wouldn't be a problem. They both do what they need to do to survive and get the job done. I don't know why either one of them feels the need to have an ethical crisis every damn episode about what one of them is doing. It doesn't make sense. One drank demon blood for a very long time, and another one WAS an actual demon. Give up the "we are supposed to be good!" shtick.

8. Do people really not check badges at all? Law enforcement especially.

They walk into whatever crime scene, wearing whatever getup, with some fake badges every episode. Do people really not check badges or put any effort into making sure people are who they say they are? I mean cmon.

9. These people just let anyone up in their damn house.

Sam and Dean seem to get into every house they want too by simply saying they are FBI. People seem to just let anyone into their damn house. I wouldn't just let anyone into my house, regardless of who they say they are.

10. If they simply killed more bad things, less bad things would happen.

There is a lot of instances where if they simply killed the bad thing, instead of giving it 2nd and 4th chances and letting it go, there would be a lot of pain saved. These things are evil. Kill them. Don't be surprised they went out and did another bad thing. Does that really surprise you? I mean it gets to a point where if Sam and Dean just killed the thing right away, this entire stretch of episodes would not have needed to happen. This would mean more intriguing content and less of a headache to myself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
