This is me actually smiling because your comment made me feel briefly less virulently angry.

I actually loved s5 in the beginning. Now I'm so SICK of the shoehorning, the endings that crush what would otherwise have been an awesome ep, and it seems like the writers are doing it for extra ~drama~ and it just doesn't work.

This show has never, NEVER been about how much drama they could squeeze it. It was always about Sam-and-Dean as a family, and this Show now? This is not that Show.
