Well, ya know, I've really liked this season much more than last season and, for the most part, I've been entertained. But, and here's where the difference comes in, not any more than I have been watching House. Two episodes into House and I'm as equally entertained by House except without the emotional turmoil because its never been anything more than a TV show I watch anyway. I love House, but I've never felt passionate about it like SPN.

As of right this moment, the only difference between my feelings about SPN and House is Jensen Ackles and the story of the Winchesters overall. Of course I'll always love watching Dean (unless something happens and they do something really awful with him that you can't come back from--horror the thought) and Jensen too. I always enjoy him no matter what...but that's the only edge the show has right this moment for me. Jensen/Dean and the rich history of the story past.

Plus, I'm just so utterly sick to death of the boys lying to each other I could scream. It frustrates me that the writers keep harping on it. I know why Dean's doing it, but I'm just tired of seeing this kind of thing between Sam and Dean.

I don't know. Maybe I would feel better about this last episode if I hadn't been hoping so hard for this episode to make the one before have more meaning--and also to end the secret keeping. Plus, I read interviews that led me to believe that this episode would be instrumental in helping Dean lay down some of his guilt.

As much as I NEVER want him totally fixed? At this point, I'd like a little hope for happiness. I hate that he thinks he's 90% crap and that no one bothers to directly refute it and fight to change his mind--even if they can't change his mind and know they can't, I need them to try.

My feelings on this show will always be complicated, though. And while I do appreciate that this season, so far, has been better--I still hate that it's not up to par with where it was. I'd like to be passionately, totally, head-over-heels in LOVE with the show again and not just Dean/Jensen.

I don't know if I want it to end this season or not. I guess that's something I can't know right now. It depends on where we are at the end of the season. I have such mixed feelings. A part of me almost wishes it had ended with season five with us knowing Dean was with Lisa--and that Sam was back from Hell. But, another part of me never wants to let go--that wants to wring every drop out that they'll give me.

*shrugs*

As far as I've heard, Mo's reviews are widely read as you said. She's also the one who MC'd the last Supernatural Paley Festival thingy, so I figure that's pretty big. Always in the past, Mo's always been very positive with her reviews, at least so I'm told and experienced the few times I've read them--so this is a radical change on her part. *shrugs* I don't know if it'll come to anything, but it did catch my attention.

Okay, it's almost time for House *wink* so I better get outta here. ;)
