Supernatural Fears
It's getting close to the beginning of S6 and I can't say I'm excited. I'm approaching it with caution because it's not really the same show anymore. There's such a thing as character development and then there's changing characters so much that I don't really recognize them or care about them anymore. That's when it becomes a different show, not the one I fell in love with, and that's the way I started to feel as S5 came to a close. We were promised a year of Sam and Dean bonding again, but that was so on-again, off-again it was like some teenage romance. Now, with S6, we're promised more of the same head butting.....plus the addition of some flexible fling that Dean met more than a decade ago and her snot-nosed brat getting in between brothers. I didn't realize how much I missed Dean Winchester until I started reading the fan fic, most of which portrays him as the quick-witted, sarcastic guy I started watching the show for. The fan fic made me love Dean again....the REAL Dean, not the one that the SN writers concocted this past year, and, unfortunately, the concocted version is what it sounds like we're getting again this coming year. I have no use for domesticated Dean. I can watch a million other shows with crap like that.
Reading the fan fic made me miss Sam the way he used to be too.....that rational, clear-thinking, peace-loving guy that was a little nerdy but you loved him anyway. Now the talk is about Sam being the hard one and Dean being the one who wants his stupid white picket fence life. Thank you no, writers. If you have a winning formula, why screw with it?
And WTH is going to happen with Cas? I hated the way his last scene in S5 was written. He just bailed on Dean at the lowest point of his life. Way to go writers for screwing up what could have been a really well-written friendship between those two. Now he doesn't even come back in until 6.03? Why....to give LISA more scenes? I can't say how much I hate that storyline. I hated Lisa's character the first time she was introduced and to now be asked to choke her down again is too much. I really hope they utilize Cas this year and use him as more than just filler.
I used to be so excited about SN. I'm not even watching the first episodes because I can not stomach the contrived storyline of Dean, Lisa and Ben. The writers really pulled that out of their collective asses and thought no one would have a problem with it. Well I do. There was no basis for it. I could understand if Sam had made Dean promise that he would move forward and maybe one day settle down, but to tell him to go make a life with a stranger and her child (and who the hell lets some strange man live with her and her CHILD?) putting more responsibility on him immediately after losing the one person he loves more than anything in the world and believing them to be in HELL? Please.
I am not a fan fic writer, but I love reading the stories out there and believe those writers are more true to the characters and should be writing the show instead. I'm sure I wouldn't have this sad feeling that the only show I watched consistently was going to go on my "I used to watch that show" list. Away with the imposters! Bring back the real Sam and Dean Winchester!
