Last season, I think I would have agreed with you, that so much focus on Kurt would have turned me off. But I sort of feel like he's the only character that's gotten a major storyline that hasn't made me dislike him (well, the writers, really) all the more after it was done, but instead liked him more. So I'm okay with Kurt getting the focus because a) I'm glad the gay kid is getting focus in canon (instead of just in fandom) and b) it's better than other storylines that'll make me hate other characters more.

I really hope that the show is going down the path of showing what non-flamboyant gay kids are like with Karofsky, because there are a lot of those types, too. Who are into traditionally "normal" things, but still have all these feelings of being different or wrong or hating themselves because of their sexual orientation and someone like Kurt or Blaine isn't really going to reach out to them in the same way. But I'm not sure I trust the show is actually going there.

And, yes! I love that Quinn is Christian but she's not homophobic and not going on Jesus Crucades all the time. Hell, her faith is just one part of her, not what defines her, and that is lovely to see.

With this season of Supernatural, It must be weird for Sam fans because it's not really Sam, so is he still enjoyable to watch for them? (I'm a Dean girl, so none of this really registers with me. XD) I'm still waiting to see how this all pans out, but I'm kind of thinking maybe it would have been better to end at the end of s5, too. (Even if the thought of Sam in hell forever kind of really sucked.) But, honestly, I'm not even sure what I really want from the show anymore, re: the ending-ending.

I'm a Sam girl and I personally still see him as Sam. The interesting thing about spn is that their concept of soul isn't consciousness/personality but it's emotion. So Sam is still Sam, he just happens to be a Terminator as well. I've never really enjoyed what they did with Sam post-season 3; I liked a darker, lost Sam but something about the way it went just didn't feel right with me. It could be my annoyance at Dean's storylines, I dunno. I just...I miss my young, sweet nerdy Sam! *sob*
And I'm STILL waiting for that epic "Jerk." "Bitch." moment!

I do often feel like the show doesn't really know what it wants to do with Sam, if they want him to be a woobie or a badass or a potential monster or a righteous guy or what, so his characterization kind of swerves all over the place. I feel like Dean is a lot more consistent (usually, this season he's been all over the place) and I imagine it can be kind of weird to watch in contrast to the way Sam is all over the place.

*wistful* I'm just hoping that the ending will be at least semi-satisfying. I'm not even hoping for epic anymore. Just. Don't make me want to shove my fist through the tv.

I always imagined the end to be like Angel or JLU, you know? "And the adventure continues." Except, it'd be more like "Come on, Sammy there's still a shitload of evil to gank!" "It's Sam, and I get to kill the devil." "You're on."
