SUPERNATURAL POST 5x19 FIX-IT MEME

[tiptoe39]

I would hereby like to declare an official

SPN 5x19 Fix-It Meme!

Here's how to do it:

1) Post a comment with some possibility for how to bring our Gabriel back.

2) Give other people's prompts your rendering in commentfic.

3) Clap your hands really loudly and say "I DO BELIEVE IN ARCHANGELS."

4) Pimp subtly so you don't spoil your flist:

Oh. Oh. This is wonderful. ♥

I'm not 100% sure why, but out of all the post-5.19 fic I've read in the last couple of days, this is the one that made me bawl like a baby. Great job! *g*

Kali's speech against Western ethnocentrism was so on the money that I couldn't let the episode end with its implicit assertion that Western ethnocentrism is right, I think is where most of this came from.

Glad you enjoyed!

I loved Kali's speech, and I can't believe they gave her that and then undermined it. :(

This is the same show that devoted an episode to How Racist We're Not and didn't have two characters of color talking to each other at any point in the episode, never mind talking to each other about anything other than a white person. In fact not a single season one episode definitely passed the race Bechdel test--the nearest we get is Missouri and her customer in Home, which is probably a race-Bechdel pass, but if the customer's wife is white (which is unlikely, since most couples are not interracial, but possible), then the whole season fails. (Don't know about other seasons offhand, as they haven't gotten onto Characters Count Wiki yet. ...fuck I can't remember whether this episode passes the race Bechdel. I don't think it does--didn't Ganesh only get a line after the elephant bit, and wasn't Zao Shen only talking to one of the white guys?) So the fail this episode is entirely believable in context.
