Well.

I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm left sitting in a vague miasma of discontent.

I'm coming to the conclusion that whatever the writers and Carver had/have in mind for this season is just not going to give me what I want.

I mean - Abaddon is gone already, when for me that should have been the big finale. There is one excellent villain, wasted (in every sense). All that potential dissolved in a few seconds of awkward facial grimaces from Jensen which made me feel a bit squirmy-embarrassed rather than excited. I suppose it should have been telling me something when in the first 15 minutes I was thinking about how lovely the cinematography was rather than being gripped by any of the action. Was I supposed to laugh when there was all that build up with the grey sweater-vested idjit angel and then 'he' walked through the door and it was Cas? Because that's what happened - I just let out a big guffaw.

Thankfully Gavin's Scottish accent got a little bit better in the later scenes, which was a relief, though his hair was a bit distracting - speaking of which, so was Sam's with his 1960s sweeping curls either side.

Plot-wise - feck. It took an AGE to get us to anything of note, and Dean's whole Pokipsey(sic -no idea how to spell that and feeling too dispirited to look it up) thing, with the I'm not going to tell Sam and instead I'll send him down to the basement while I make some very weird faces at Abaddon, didn't really make any sense to me. After last week's debacle, I suppose I just craved a Winchester-heavy episode and what they gave me was frustratingly Winchester-lite. And seems to be setting up the last two episodes to be all about fecking Metatron and the turning of Gadreel which I'm just not invested in at all. Maybe I could have been but they haven't given me enough about Gadreel to (excuse the pun) reel me in to his story. I'm not feeling anything for Castiel these days, and the angel wars are, quite frankly, boring me.

Way to take the SUPER out of Supernatural, show.

Crikey, I could go on, but this could rapidly degenerate into a rant and I honestly don't have the energy!

Apologies for the negativity but I wanted so much MORE than the show is giving me at the moment. Thank goodness for fanfic and fanart, that's all. Right, I'm off to get my breakfast and organise my fannish activities for the day. Wallowing shamelessly in some porn and drawing some Sam and Dean in regency costumes sounds like a good way to rise above the malaise that is Show at the moment.
