The show has evolved to an ensemble show that features caricatures of the boys every now and again.
*nods* It's become an ensemble show (even though the Js say it's not) in order to give them some more time off. And I appreciate that, as they have families. But, for me, it means there are episodes that just don't interest me. I'm not a big fan of ensemble TV at the best of times (unless it's something like Leverage were I loved all the 5 characters). I think because the show we fell in love with revolved solely around the brothers it's hard now to accept what it's had to become.
And before you say that shows that go on as long as a decade! (@@ wow!) must evolve or die,
I think the evolving should be about the characters evolving not so much them staying the same and adding new characters. I would much rather see Sam and Dean develop as characters rather than open up new character stories. I mean, I actually love many of the other characters (Jody and Donna yay!), but we don't have every other episode being about their lives.
but as a Dean girl, even Im annoyed with the way Dean is coming across
I often wonder how Dean girls are finding Dean - I wondered if maybe it was just the way I was seeing him. He's not been "himself" for a year and half because of the MoC And demon-ness, so he's had reasons to be the way he'd been. I accept that it will take him a while to find his feet again, but I would love to see this season be about him finding that. But - he's connected to the Darkness so I'm not sure if that will be happening. We'll see. I'm still consoled that it's early days yet. I am ever hopeful….
