Hiatus makes me think...

x5vale...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 :)

Date: 2009-12-14 01:35 pm (UTC)Ya know what really bothers me? Sam and Dean spent their ENTIRE LIVES fighting together. Basically, two freaking decades, side by side, and this is all it took to break them completely? I don't BUY that. If you're that close, that important to each other, your entire relationship doesn't die over one or two things like that. Sure, the issues at hand are HUGE ones, but if they were as close as we all believed they were, it wouldn't cause such a rift. So that leads me to believe that they were NEVER as close as we all assumed.
And that bothers me.
So now? Show me some more Lucifer. Let's see what's up with Michael. Give me a snippet of Castiel angsting in a church somewhere, broken and afraid. If I can't have the boys we all fell in love with, give me something else to love. Don't give me these broken shells of Winchester when it looks like there was nothing substantial there to begin with, because it's very sad, and mama don't like it.

Date: 2009-12-14 02:07 pm (UTC)They love and have always loved each other, but this doesn't mean to be close.
I hoped for a new start of their relationship where everything come together.
They share the past, love, guilt, responsability, worries but they haven't learned yet how to deal with being themselves.
The writers should have spent more time on Dean AND Sam. If this is not wht they want, give us at least something else.
i guess after 4 years we are all tired, btw I still love the show and the characters.
