Supernatural Ratings Woes Grow

Dear Sera -

You have two amazing leads, a strong supporting cast, a heartbreaking story arc, and a loyal unto rabid fandom -- why are your ratings falling?

Could it be because we see no light at the end of the tunnel. We'll scream and cry and enjoy anything you throw at us in the dark as long as we can see even the ( Read more... )

Well said. Some of the most passionate fans I know have stopped watching since the beginning of this season, because they don't want their love for the show killed by where it's going. Sad.

If this was a book, I'd have read the ending about the middle of last season just to make sure that the emotional trama -- to me AND the boys -- was worth it.

Bingo. I've gotten to where I DVR it. Partly because of the perpetual "Oh woe!" factor, and partly because on Friday, it's on opposite things I love that DON'T tear my heart out. Depending what kind of hell they put us through during the mid-season cliffhanger, I wonder how much of the fanbase won't return in 2011?

I have the last four saved but I haven't had the heart to watch them... I read Destina's reaction and I think yes, then the next moment, I'm back to "not yet"... sigh...

Oh, honey! As someone who has done a lot of not-watching over the last 2 seasons until I thought it would be safe...watch them! I really think they will make you feel better. 6.07, for real, was so very--I don't know. It was *adorable*. And also, hot. 6.06 is a little bit upsetting, but it is the necessary bit before they can start to fix it.

I dunno. I am very much hopeful about this season. I am totally blaming the Friday slot. It is the slot of death. OF DEATH, I TELL YOU!

teand November 17 2010, 03:01:24 UTC

Could you tell me why you're hopeful? Because I would very much like to be hopeful again.

laurificus November 17 2010, 15:44:45 UTC

Of course I will! Though with the conditions that you do not tell me spoilery things that totally invalidate anything I say (do not even tell me you know them!), or make compelling arguments about why I'm wrong. My SPN zen is, you know. A disturbingly hard-won thing ( ... )

And that, of course, was not all I had to say. Stupid LJ with its comments limit ( ... )
