Supernatural Season Eight

[certainthings]

Well, isn't that just fantastic.

Spoilers for season eight. And these spoilers are just based on bits and pieces I've read and/or skimmed on tumblr. I have not read or seen anything myself. So, I don't know how accurate they are.



Uhm. Fuck you? Fuck you with a rusty hammer?

Castiel is going to get more screen time and Sam and Dean are going to be split up?

Oh, yay! That's so brilliant. Because I really really love the Dean and Castiel show.

Like a lot of people I started watching Supernatural because I heard it was about these two brothers who fight monsters.

But then when they brought in Castiel and he became Dean's bestest buddy EVER, I was like. 'Oh, man. This is the show they should have started with.'

Because fuck Sam, right?


And yes, I do plan on watching the show. I plan on seeing it through to the very very end. And I might not like a lot of it, but I will always like some of it.

Part of me thinks the only way they can create tension any more is by splitting them up. I mean, anyone who is killed can come back, if something evil (or even good) is threatening to "possess" someone, the powers that be will make them whole again even if they kill themselves or get killed, people exist as ghosts, anyone can kill anything at this point. We've learned to not mourn anyone we love because they'll come back. All the main ingredients that made the show tense/good have been totally butchered, imo.

That being said, BOOOOOOOOO. hahaha

And I am probably going to watch until the bitter-shark-jumped-10th-season end. I'm not sure how much I like that.

In conclusion: SAM.

Unless they're women.

So true though.

Excellent point.

There is that. But. I just don't know that we need all that tension and suspense and what not. I mean CSI has been on for 11 years and it's been the same format since the beginning and it's still a pretty amazing show.

HM. Good point. I guess that's what made it so good for me. The ~unknown~... but it feels like all the mystery has been taken out.
