I hated that beyond words.

I am literally sobbing as I type because this actually feels like the end.

What happened to my beautiful, bromancy, interesting, scary, intriguing show? My show that had "something up its sleeve", my show that only ever had brothers at odds with each other FOR A REAL REASON! My show that had brothers who loved each other. My show that knew it's history. My show that WAS NEVER a soap opera. My show.... *sobs*

My heart is breaking so much and it fucking hurts.

I trust that I missed something. To be honest I don't even have the energy to rant. I am so disappointed and hurt. The season cliffhanger is Amelia walking back into Sam's life... just. No words.

I have never witnessed so much distrust, disloyalty, dis-LOVE between the brothers....EVER. Even when they were fighting at the end of S4 there was at least passion. This was just...nothing. All those things without any reason. They were hardly even on the screen together. I think I even detected real hate between them. And if that's supposed to make me tune in to see how they resolve it?...well...yeah. Not so much.

The show has changed. I suppose it had to. So many of you already saw it. I glimpsed it and clawed myself back. But this is what the show has become and that saddens me so, so much.

I know I shouldn't post. I know you want positive stuff. But in one episode it cemented everything I feared this season would turn into. A boring soap opera.

(I will say that it was beautifully filmed. And if it was a soap opera then I am sure it was beautifully written).

My problem with the Season was that the writing was spectacularly corny and ooc. I know I know fans call OOC when their favorites do things they don't like but given I am not the ONLY one to notice the amount of horrible lines this season:

"But you're not strong enough!" Actually from Dean's mouth to Cas. yuck

"I may be going to hell for saying this." Is this supposed to be a joke? I don't think Sam and Dean find it very funny.

Honestly, this isn't character growth/maturity like Carver promised. If this is some big lead in the show will have lost half it's viewers by the time they get around to resolving anything. Because the problem is fans have lost faith in this show and lost trust in the writers to do this show justice. The really strong virol coming from Dean is really stunning.

I posted an ep review in my journal but I basically deduced Sam and Dean are acting like children. "I'm going to hurt you because you hurt me." It's terribly petty and something they both have been through in Season 4 and you can't tell me they haven't LEARNED from these mistakes countless times. To me it feels like Carver is erasing ALL the character growth and starting from scratch. It's frustrating to say the least and I understand now why so many fans were already disheartened from the start. I used to accuse them of being whiny and complainers but honestly it's devastating to say the least and now I finally understand the feeling.

Yes. This is exactly how I am feeling also. When I heard the boys would be more mature this season I actually thought we might be over this keeping secrets and not communicating and having petty jealousies. It seems not.

I used to accuse them of being whiny and complainers but honestly it's devastating to say the least and now I finally understand the feeling.

That's me also! I feel so guilty because I just couldn't understand why fans were being so negative. So many ditching the show, but now I get it and it is SO heartbreaking. They saw the writing on the wall long before I did. :(

I think (I HOPE!) show will pull itself together at some point. I just wish I could leave it alone until that day.
