dear god, why do I still watch Supernatural?

catching up on tv after my week of unconsciousness, but it's the question I ask myself every time I watch spn these days. it's not that I think it's bad, although it kinda is, it's that I don't CARE ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm remembering their early jokes about Sam and Dean being in wheelchairs and walkers and still hunting. Unfortunately that would be far more interesting if there was still any character development going on instead of the constant retreads of their relationship issues.

I stopped watching at the end of that season. I literally know nothing about what happened after Lucy and Mike fight. And I'm not even sorry.

good on you. I wish I could be that way.

I keep occasionally attempting to watch it when it shows up on my DVR but then I usually get bored and delete it half way through. It makes me sad because I loved the show SO MUCH and it's just... meh now.

this is EXACTLY what happens to me. the number of episodes I've downloaded and then never watched to the end...

I miss my show...the last episode had a 'cw' feel not my grity spn.

I'm conflicted when one of my shows becomes 'prime-time'. It seems a catch 22, I want to share the awesomeness but I don't want anyone to know about my baby =) Most times bit of the special spark seems to disappear.

yeah, I find it hilarious that it's somehow become the cash cow after the quality has completely been drained out of it. there's probably a relationship between those two things, but damned if I can figure out what it is...

You still watch Supernatural?!

Dear lord. What's happening these days?

After the season six finale I swore to block out all of season six and never speak of it again.
For me, SPN finished after season five.
So I guess to me Swan song was an "epic fucking tv-changing series finale." :D Because it so was!

I toyed with watching season seven, then realised that it just wasn't worth the risk. And I didn't care, either.

It's kind of sad, but these days, when shows don't finish unless they're losing money, you sometimes have to say 'Ok, I've had enough now. I have loved you dearly but the writers have killed you and it's time to say good night and remember the good times"

Out of (morbid) curiosity, why have you stopped caring?

I don't know, there's something about purgatory. and angels. lol. *shrugs*

and yeah, there should be euthanasia for tv shows when ratings fail to reflect quality.

honestly, I stopped caring because there's nothing TO care about. the apocalypse came and fucking went, and they haven't managed to adequately replace it with a compelling "what's next."
