I'm kind of over Supernatural. I think it's been a long time coming for me. For the past few years, if you asked me what my favourite [currently airing] TV show was, I would have said that it was Supernatural, hands down. But I don't feel that way anymore. Not even close.
I'm not sure exactly where I started to drift away from liking it so much, but by this point (season 5), I actually find myself actively not caring about what happens and only watching because I feel an attachment to it. I'm not invested in the characters anymore. I hate the current arc and everything about it.
I'm nostalgic like crazy for the first two seasons (and maybe season three and some of season four) when it was the boys hunting and it felt like a horror movie every week and there was always something silly or dramatic going on and the boys were just silly and pretty together.
I miss the boys angsting over John. I miss them hunting all the urban legends. Basically I miss the "saving people, hunting things, the family business" part of the show that's clearly not there anymore.
Dean said to Cas on tonight's episode that he was never really happy when he was with Sam, that he hadn't laughed hard in years and that he's happier being alone. That pretty much did me in. It totally undermined everything I used to love about the show.
I don't know, this probably sounds rant-y and disjointed, I just hate when shows that I loved SO MUCH at the beginning totally change to the point where I canceled the standing PVR recording of it because now if I miss it I probably wouldn't be bothered to catch up with it. :\
Also: welcome to being my new favourite show, Criminal Minds!
