Sometimes you just need to pack up and make the break clean

Confession time: I'm kind of a hypocrite when it comes to being a 'good' fan. Yes, for all of my cheerleading and determinedly positive approach towards SPN, I too have been guilty of the following

I hear you about what basically boils down to "but there's stuff out there that's so much worse!" I mean, if you think SGA had problems... Merlin and Andromeda Ascendant were and still are two of my favorite shows but, oh my word, not even my Jedi Master level ability to handwave could help me see past many of their glaring issues. With Merlin my biggest problem was with season five, which as far as I'm concerned doesn't exist. It may have had a few good eps and whump, but that wasn't enough to forgive everything else (why the frik do show runners always want to take light-hearted fun and dunk it in grim-dark? Why! there was no reason for it!)

While Andromeda Ascendant seemed to have the problem of not knowing where the heck it was going with their story lines. Not to mention that they left so much unanswered, plus kept erasing everything they accomplished in previous seasons.

I may have had a falling out with SPN (not for any particular reason, just lost interest. But then I've pretty much lost interest in TV shows altogether save for a few) but that show is a masterpiece compared to the above two.

It's funny how you'll get shows that are incredibly inconsistent--where they'll have brilliant episodes you can rewatch over and over, but which are surrounded by dreck.

I know what you mean too about simply losing interest--not because the show is bad, but just because it doesn't fit your interests, or something catches your interest more closely.
