Supernatural/Human pairs season eight
***who i would like to see again
**interesting
*meh
never again
* Brick Holmes and his wife. (Mayan athelete who lived forever because he was eating human hearts decides to stop living because his human wife is aging and he will miss her) I had some sympathy for the human wife, but as we never meet the main character, I couldn't miss him, plus it would make sense to commit suicide if his human wife had died first ... not before she died.
Brian, Kate and Mike (college kids who become werewolves and are involved in a deadly dull love triangle) It would have been nice to see the concept go somewhere new with werewolf lore, spn is great at reimagining myth, but just ... no.
**Benny and Andrea (the reluctant vampire friend of Dean in Purgatory and his human wife) this was a great side story, it fleshed out Benny's character, cemented the bond (to the audience in real time) of his friendship with Dean, and the ending was very poignant.
**Benny and Elizabeth (Benny finds a home in the place where he was born, where is granddaughter lives, but once his nature as a vampire is revealed he has to give up everything and go on the move again)
*Charlie and Gilda (Sam and Dean's gal pal from season seven meets a (good)fairy and helps rescue her from the clutches of an evil LARPer who is using her powers for bad, alas, too short to even figure out what would become of such a relationship)
***Aaron and his Golem (Aaron is a descendant of the Judah Initiative, a group of rabbi's who fought the Nazis, and he's supposed to have taken control of a Golem, but literally smoked the manual. Not only a charming duo - Aaron is a reluctant Master and the Golem constantly scolds him, seriously, I would watch them in a spin-off show.
Portia (DogGirl) and James (Witchcop) (a familar convinced she's in an intimate realtionship with her Master with her full consent and a Master still in control as he keeps things from her, pushes her away (for her own good) he gets a powerful supernatural creature as an ally and lover, while she gets a nice shiny dogcollar, watering and feeding and some affection.
*next has spoilers for today's ep*
*Prometheus and --- (a Greek demigod cursed to die each day paired up with a human woman who ran at the first sign of his strangeness, then began to look for him when she bore him a son) Their relationship didn't change much, but :Prometheus is motivated by care of what happens to his son, as is the woman, who's actions on the boy's behalf lead her to free Zeus, and her lover's death. Well, it's Greek, they invented tragedy.

It's a shame about Benny and his granddaughter. I felt pretty bad for him in that ep.
Aaron and the Golem were fun, weren't they?
Don't even get me started on the fucking slave fantasy of Portia and James. She even CALLED him her "master" at one point, didn't she? Didn't anyone on the writing staff think about how this kind of relationship dynamic between an interracial couple might come off?! I've been embarassed by bad eps before, but I was actually ashamed to call myself a fan of this show that night!
*taking deep, calming breaths*
On the bright side, we've been granted another season of a really great pair: Dean and Castiel!! So there's that. :)
