Hiatus makes me think...
...yep I think about the show. I miss SPN, I miss Dean but...not really excited about the show at the moment. Thoughts under the cut.
I've kinda lost interest in the show right now. In the show as it has been for the last few episodes. We have had 10 episodes and I remember just three of them: The End, Changing Channels and Abandon All Hope.
The first two had very good stuff so yeah, let's say I enjoyed a lot them as well.
What's my point?
I have always watched SPN more for Dean and Sam brotherly relationship than for any other reasons. Now I watch the show for the mythology, hoping to see Dean and Sam interacting with other characters.
Why? Because this way I can see something new.
I think this season could have been the best one. They could have explored the complexity of their bond and the wounds that have yet to be healed.
They could have talked about their issues and about their feelings and they haven't. So far there's nothing new in their relationship, so far they are stuck in a condition where they are still. Unable to go on, unable to heal and so really distant.
smilla02 was right when she told me she saw them not close at all in that "Abandon All Hope"scene, when they were talking about going to meet Lucifer.
I thought they were close, but they weren't. They had simply accepted that things were going like that. They should have stayed on their own longer.
I have just rewatched all the most meaningful episodes and I haven't seen an enrichment of their relationship. So far.
"So far" are the two words that still keep me tie to this show. I have the hope things are going to change, I want to think they will make Dean and Sam justice. They will give them something. At the moment there's nothing I haven't already seen.
I also think they are not brave enough. If you throw a mythology like the Apocalypse in the show, you have to deepen it, the new characters need screen time, need a story, need interaction. Aren't they using Castiel with Dean as they used to do because they are afraid it could damage Dean-Sam time? They should have thought about it in the first place.
You can't add a great character like Castiel and then not using him at all. It's mortifying.
You can't have Lucifer and not spending more time with him.
I understand the SPN it's not and ensemble show, but the characters,when they are good, deserve time, deserve a history.
The writers can't just create them and then kill them or, and it's worse, forget them.
So yeah I have hopes, but I lowered my expectations a lot about SPN. Anyways I still trust Eric Kripke :)
