I feel partially guilty, because I kinda pointed you towards that aforementioned small, vocal and nasty group of fans. They're a strange gaggle, no question. I mean, I totally understand why they preach the way they do, but it really doesn't make for a very interesting story. Like, ever. And it simply doesn't sync well with the vibe of SPN, even now, in the show's current incarnation as some sort of shallow, ensemble cast creation.

The intensity, the chemistry is quickly leeching out of the show, in no small part due to the fact Sam and Dean have been spending quite a bit of time apart, playing some sort of Yoda figure to a rotating cast of one-off or barely reoccurring characters. Wow am I getting bored. But this is my only fandom, so. I'll see it through. But the mighty have really fallen.
