This show fills me with such rage.

I know the show has little to no budget but couldn't they try and show that Sam's hell was, I don't know ... Hellish?

Ugh.

Dean and Bobby: Hey, Sammy? How you doing, pal?
Sam: Couldn't be better.

Bobby: Psst, Dean. Psst. Do you believe, Sam? I'm not sure that I do.
Dean: Yeah ... Well, no.
Bobby: Shouldn't we do something? I dunno. Talk to him or something?
Dean: Hahah. Fuck that guy.
Bobby: ...
Dean: Ehh, what good did talking ever do? He says he's fine. Let's go with that.

Sam: Hey, what's up, ya'll?
Dean and Bobby: Oh. Uh. Hi! Still good?
Sam: Can't complain. Literally.

Death: How are you liking those hallucinations? Pretty cool, right?
Sam: Oh, shit. Thought we might keep that on the dl.
Death: My bad.

Dean: Really, Sam? You didn't think to tell me about the hallucinations?
Sam: ...
Dean: C'mon!
Sam: Were you not in the earlier scene?
Dean: Oh, right.

I don't even know how to properly express how much the whole Castiel "he's our friend! Let's help him even though he screwed us over and played us from the beginning and wants to destroy the world" pisses me off. I was so full of burning rage at the end there.

Maybe if there hadn't been a Ruby, I wouldn't feel this way. But there was. And I do.

Now, I know that Ruby wasn't Dean's friend. But then, I don't really think that Castiel and Sam are all that close.

And I know that Ruby was a demon. And Castiel is an angel.

However. However.

I feel that Ruby helped them out just as much, if not more than Castiel has.

Yes, she had her reasons for doing so. But then, so did Castiel. And as I've mentioned before without Castiel Ruby wouldn't have gotten anywhere in her game plan.

And, I don't know. It just really fucking bothers me that they can kill Ruby without any thought and not feel badly but they have to help save Castiel when both angel and demon fucked them over.

Why is he so special? No, seriously. Why?

Evil!Castiel looks like he might be slightly interesting for a bit. Maybe he'll be one of those vain villains and invest in some lip balm.

Next week's promo looked pretty Sam centric. So, my guess is it'll focus on Sam for maybe 12 minutes.

You know my emotional rollercoaster with the show, and last night didn't really help. I had NO idea what was going on.

I think the biggest problem is that they're writing the show in singular actions now, if that makes sense. Like.. earlier in the show, it was so quality because they plotted out a story and characters that worked to make one whole, satisfying experience.

Now, from what I saw last night, they keep banking on one or two actors/characters to be really great, playing into fannish stuff, and saying 'fuck the rest'. I REALLY don't understand this Dean. I don't like Sam, who seems like an empty character now. I really wish Castiel had stayed dead. (Though crazy!Beastiel is interesting.)

BEASTIEL! *giggle*

I still like Sam. But I do hope that one day he becomes a character again (or even just a character) and not something for Dean to react to.

And that does make sense.

Sometimes I wish I could quit this show.
