My Top 10 Biggest Supernatural Let Downs

[bigmamag]

I've been putting off posting this because really when I got toward the end of the list, the latter three seasons of Supernatural started to look less horrible, but then I decided to post anyway because, damn it, I spent a long while thinking up and writing this down. I guess, depending on its reception, we'll see how smart a decision that was.

You know I didn't even know they did half these things. I'm glad now that I stopped watching. One of the last things that made me so angry was Bobby making a deal. After all the lecturing and handholding and he goes and does that because now he can't walk?

Ugh.

And I like your comparison of Sam and Dean's changes to that of alcoholics.

Well technically he made the deal so Crowley can do something or other (I don't know, I forget the details but it was for the end of the world or something), but you're right in that the 'able to walk' part thrown in was cheap and oh yeah, four episodes into season six, Bobby easily gets his soul back by the invented magic that if you burn the original bones of the demon, they die, so they threaten Crowley's bones and yay, soul. And I didn't even get to see Dean's reaction on the plane trip to Scotland, what a load. Bobby just sold his soul way too easy, in my opinion. It should have been a big story arc to get him to that point.

I still don't know why I watch. Some vague hope that they will end it soon or that I'll finally get the show I've been missing? Truthfully, it hasn't been that bad since Sam got his soul back, but it hasn't been all that good either.

There should never be anything and 'thrown in' when it comes to Bobby. He's not a ditchable prom date, dammit.

I honestly don't know what episode I stopped watching. I saw Jo and Ellen die and I saw when they turned old...I don't even know what season that was.

I remember being very disinterested in season three even with the entire Bela storyline.

The whole thing saddens me really. It was my favorite show and it was beautiful and Faith and Born Under a Bad Sign will always be two of my favorite episodes of television.

Oh god, I'm watching BUABS tonight because they show reruns on some channel in the morning and I dvr'd them. Though, I have the DVDs, but it's so much cooler watching them on tv, IDEK.

That was season five you were watching, impressive. :P I do recommend the fourth episode from season six "Weekend at Bobby's", simply because it's an entire episode about Bobby and it shows what he does when he's not around Sam and Dean, and I absolutely love looking at his 'every day' life. :D

I don't remember any of the back half of season four except the Ruby kill and I don't remember any of the actual season five episodes I may have watched. :P

You know how I feel about Bobby and his everyday life. I wrote at least six stories about it. :D I'll find a download later.

Also, I know this is an spn post, but I feel compelled to tell you, I have been reading all the Star Trek RPF at AO3 while pretending to work. It's a great way to get through all this not working I'm doing.
