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).

I have to agree with the above poster re: Dean and Borderline Personality Disorder. He definitely fits the diagnosis criteria. No fixing personality disorders (just controlling them in some way, shape and form) and it makes it really hard on the people having to deal with a loved one who has these types of issues. However, at this point, I'm so ticked off with the showrunners with the way they are depicting Sam and his year off that I could strangle Carver. Or pick his scrawny geeky ass up and use him to beat Singer, Michaels and Edlund over the head. I didn't even watch the episode last night because I just knew it was going to turn out like this. What do I want to have happen now besides trying to forget about the show and immerse myself into the fandom of the Walking Dead (now that is how to treat the storyline of a little brother!)? Have Benny attack Sam and turn him into a vamp who only likes demon blood and goes around slaughtering Crowley's minions. I don't even care if they kill him off in the end. I am just so sick of Sam getting his nose shoved in the choices he makes and being hit on the head with the newspaper of Dean's righteousness. Bad Sam, bad! How about bad writers and plots that throw 7 years of canon out the window. Also, we know more about what happened with Cas in the last year with the little bit of screen time he has had than we know about Sam despite all the flashbacks. Hell, we know more about Benny at this point than we do about Sam and that is disheartening for me. Thanks for letting me rant.

You're most welcome to rant. It's all I've felt like doing. Only now I'm just kind of numb. Numb and bitter - and for all the reasons you've stated here. It hurts beyond reason that Sam's back story consists of having a melt down (that we didn't see) falling in love (which we've been told but never really saw. Unless having a picnic is falling in love) and breaking up. No one loves him. It's so very very sad. I'm sure Dean does but he's just not showing it. Sam must feel so lost and we're just not allowed to witness that or care for him in any way. At no point has Dean been allowed to understand what Sam might have been through without him around. And we are left just having to believe he ran away and for a whole year didn't once try and figure out where Dean had gone.

Hee...there. I had a rant too. Felt good. <33
