Screw Sera Gamble!
You know what, I love Supernatural, I always have done. What I cannot add to the end of that is the phrase "I always will love it". Certainly the first five seasons will probably be watched on endless repeating loops for the rest of my life and I've got five conventions under my belt as a testimony to my love of the show. Sure I haven't loved everything about it without exception, no show ever gets it right 100% of the time. At least with Eric Kripke at the helm the show achieved 95% nicely.
With Sera Gamble at the helm that figure has dropped dramatically. To 63%. The route taken for the season 6 finale has to be the most heartbreaking one ever. I cried over Castiel's fall more that I did over the death of Gabriel! Which is saying something. I was upset, angry and I felt completely betrayed by the writers, and Sera in particular, for the path they chose to put him on. I've been joining in all the campaigns to try and save him, reading every article and writing my own fix it fic to try and make myself feel better.
Just when I thought I'd gotten myself into a better place with it all, regained my tested faith in the writers, Sera announced that Cas is a redundant storyline. Not in my book! My love for Castiel eclipses my love for all other characters. Even Sam and Dean. Those boys do, after all, deserve a friend who is theirs without him dying or going evil. They need the challenge of another party to stop the interaction between brothers from starting to get stale.
Regardless, I screamed and I ranted and I vented. I plotted a lynch mob. Those less angry with her asked the raging people to give her a bit of slack, to wait a while before blowing up, so we went quiet again. What a mistake. In a recent interview Misha implied that Cas is not going to reconcile with the boys. He also said that he has not been asked back for any other episodes yet. This, to me, says that he's being written off. Episodes without Cas don't seem as rich, don't seem as fulfilling as the ones with him.
And Sera is potentially writing him out? I see my twitter TL being very full of a lot of angry words in the future. She has been warned. I want her gone, I want her blood on the moon.
Did I mention that I'm angry?
