miaw!! :3

supernatural may treat is women like trash but they're really good at writing them. from quicker characters like cassie and missouri to long hall characters like jody mills--the delight of supernatural for me--claire, charlie, bela, and donna, they actually do a pretty good job.

Mom? For me... just, um- having you here... fills in the biggest blank.

“Bugs” (air date November 8, 2005) has Sam and Dean Winchester trying to solve a killer bug infestation that’s been wreaking havoc in Oasis Plains, a new land development in Oklahoma. “Bugs” always makes an appearance on “Top 10 Worst Episodes” lists (often claiming the #1 spot) and has been repeatedly mocked by Supernatural‘s writers. Not only is it one of creator Eric Kripke’s least favourite season one episodes, but “Bugs” was even the butt of a “meta” joke in “The Monster at the End of this Book” (4.18): when Chuck Shurley, creator of the Supernatural novel series, mentions the one about the bugs, he shrugs it off as “simply bad writing.”

Common criticisms of the episode include its clichéd storytelling (the “Indian Burial Ground” curse), its wacky pacing (the instant night-to-day ending), and the general “ick-factor.” With cockroaches, spiders, worms, and bees, “Bugs” certainly fills the creepy-crawly quota for the series. Many fans simply refuse to watch for that reason: “I’d watch it, but spiders.”

But one thing to know about “Bugs” is that its bad reputation precedes it. Is “Bugs” really one of the worst episodes of Supernatural of all time? I think not. That’s why I’m here — to defend this much-hated episode from its most callous critics. So, let’s dive in. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you my defence of “Bugs.”
