And I hope I didn't do too much grammar or whatever mistakes. Especially because right now I'm not in the best mood.

You bring up a really good point that nobody has really talked about:

"Why can't they just start to trust each other after 7 years on the road?"

Because the writers need to keep introducing tension and angst (since let's face it, that's what this show is all about!), they never have this relationship GO anywhere. We keep retreading the same old issues between them--or new things are brought in to create some discord between them. I found it really interesting that with Bobby about to die, these guys who are supposed to be everything to each other didn't have a single moment in the last episode where they were supporting each other--they were in their own little bubbles suffering separately.

Is that really who they are together? Don't they get anything actually POSITIVE from their relationship with each other? I know the relationship is dysfunctional, but at some level I figure we are watching this show because we want them to have love and a chance for happiness, not just darkness and suffering and angst. I think I'm hitting a wall with this show!!

IKR?? I just wanted for them to at least to move on in their relationship. What I dislike the most about this 'bringing back season 1' crap is that will bring back all the bad stuff too, like the boys alone, not trusting each other, the secrets that will tear them even more apart, bad decisions, etc... I just want to see something new for once.

[trekkingal]

Totally agree.

I've taken to following Redemption Road--cool idea that the fans say "to hell with you" to the show and write their own storyline!

Is this a fansite?

Thaks:))))

You're very welcome ^^
Especially since I just did like them by myself as soon as I understood that I may not like what they will do in this season... (just that I wrote in French though).
Basically it's good that we have our ways of helping each others dealing with this shit :p

Yes, ash_kah kindly put the link below. This is a group of some of the best "Destiel" writers who decided to do "round-robin" story writing within a 22 story (read "episode" as they are following a season structure) where all the stories follow each other. I believe there will be Dean/Cas slash eventually, but they are taking their time building a story and exploring all the themes everyone wanted to see developed in S7 that haven't been. Very nifty idea, and so far, very well executed!

Thanks!!!!

I think the only time the boys relationship was really loving and bordering on stability was in S2 and S3. Their father's death brought them together and the knowledge of Dean's sacrifice helped them grow closer in S3. As far as I'm concerned, the relationship between Dean and Sam has never repaired since then. S5 had potential but then Sam jumped in the cage and came back soul-less in S6. Where they are right now is worse off than S1 but instead of heartfelt attempts to close the gaps, we get recycled attempts at aversion and OOC dialogue.

This! Like someone said here, I too don't get how some people are saying that this is the best season so far, I mean it has some good moments ( not even an entire ep in my opinion) but is just the same old thing but with less feeling and more killing everybody. ( the worse ep for me so far was that with Becky. Oh my Merlin I couldn't even finish the thing)

[tristinai]

I shut it off and went back to it 20 minutes later. It was pretty bad. And you notice now how other characters are wearing tan trench coats? Becky did in this episode and Bobby did in 7.09. I think wardrobe is pimping off Castiel's attire.

[ash_kah]

YES ! Is it that bad to keep at least a little happiness or at least hope in a story ? It's not fashionable maybe ? 'Coz surely emos rule the world, and angst is the unique cool feeling / emotional reaction.

What the hell ?

I can even accept the fact that the LEVEL of the monster/difficulties they have to face goes down (so then as in season 1)... BUT. The characters themselves SOULD NOT REGRESS ! Who does that ? Shitty writters who don't understand the basis of characterisation and human emotion.
After all they went through, how can we have that reactions from Sam about Amy when he discover that Dean killed her ?
PLUS. I don't believe that it was SUCH a huge problem, because that woman was Sam's FRIEND (wtF!) and then everything was about the fact that Dean lied to Sam, and not about him killing a friend. Hummm what ? So Cas (the one who should be their real TRUE friend) lied to them too but no forgiveness, and no one even MENTION the fact that Sam stabbed him and could have killed him if he'd still been an angel. NO LOGIC. What even is logic ? Nobody cares huh...

[aeryth_soul]

'Couse you know Sam was ~disturbed and wasn't thinking right *oops sorry stabed you* ( his wall had just been destroyed, he souldn't be in a hunt), and Cas was apparently a ~big bad for reasons still not really clear for me...

Yeah right.

[ash_kah]

Oh I'm so sorry ! I tought that Castiel too was "disturbed and wasn't thinking right" !
How could I thought that finding himself betrade by everyone, becoming homeless, forced to kill his own family, stucked in an endless and hopeless war that was going on for god only knows how many years (side note : seems it's about sarcasm, I recall that the "year" in Heaven deserved an air quote from the sherif, right ? Was that like a century actually, or what ?), AND being treated like a pet or a baby when he's a fucking angel of the lord, by the guy who keeping brocking his heart etc... that it was hard enough to drive anybody insane ? I'm so stupide.

I guess that using sarcasm is also prohibed to Castiel, and his fans, since it's a Dean's speciallity. Maybe that's why Cas was put in the bad guy list : he was stolling Dean's fans, Dean's lies, Dean's humour, sexyness, appetite, and angst. Bad bad Castiel.

I think that Sera just didn't know what to do with him, so insted of sending him to, idk, fix heaven or atone for his mistakes she took the easy road
