Shanks on SPN? Will he Raise Their Game?

[gategrrl]

And how long will it be, I wonder, for Michael Shanks fans to start claiming that he's going to "raise the game" of the actors on Supernatural?

Michael Shanks' Fans? Please don't go down that asinine road. It just makes you look like jerks and completely ridiculous. Don't go there. If you do, you are total asshats.

I think it's more that they don't like SPN (all the amoral killing (as opposed to all the amoral crap that goes on in shows like 24 or Burn Notice - that is no problem) and apparently a severe dislike for JP), therefore it must certainly be bad for Shanks's career. Yeah, I don't get it, either.

The logic did make my head hurt even more.

I always felt Supernatural had the underpinnings of a morality play, so amoral stuff is just part of the deal, just like in most shows. But at least the boys tend to at least try to be on the side of good. Well, until the side of good turns out to be not so good anyway.

Don't try to follow their logic. A winding, twisted path you'll find, and you'll possibly be followed around by a troll.

Yeah, exactly. I guess some people view it as indiscriminate bloodshed, which I boggle at, myself. It might have gotten worse for a bit there, but hello - apocalypse. Lucifer wiping out an entire town is not an act condoned by the good guys.

I still find it rich that this guest spot is such a huge mistake, where his spot on 24 or Burn Notice (both shows based somewhat more in reality than SPN, and with plenty of immoral killing) were not The End of the World for Shanks's Career.
