ROFL. So basically--
[Spoilery discussion.]
fuck the Winchesters, Kevin is awesome. I mourn the loss of his glorious, glorious hair, but welcome in its place what looks like a wonderful sort of badassery, (hopefully) void of manpain. Is it a little premature to be applying for Kevin!girl status? (Kidding, kidding! I still love you best, Sam!)

((Seriously.

Yep, Sam's Big Brain has become a forgotten characteristic. I miss his walking Encyclopaedia of the Weird days, when they managed to show the Winchesters as being somewhat competent, with years and years of hunting experience behind them. One would think that, with the kind of stuff they've seen and experienced, they would be leaving something for the next generation of hunters to learn. A legacy, even.

I attribute the stasis when it comes to the characters to how the writers managed to divorce their character progression from the main plot--one had to be put on hold for the other to progress. But you're right--Edlund and Gamble had the skill to weave both together expertly.

My one fear is that this season is gonna be marginalizing Sam, what with "Cas and Dean's Big Adventures in Purgatory". [...] and Sam gets ... a girlfriend. Oh, and maybe a dog. Woo.

Exactly. It's kind of killing me. I guess it's only fair--Sam got to have Hallucifer while Dean was with Lisa, and Dean gets to have... whatever he picked up in Purgatory.

The Powers That Be are shooting for ten seasons

T-Ten seasons?! Ten??!!
