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).

Hi,

Hee.. yep Obsessed is the word all right! I wouldn't be feeling so distraught if I wasn't so damn obsessed by it. ;)

And yeah... I get all those reasons. It all makes sense, but...I don;t know, it's just one big soap opera fest of relationship issues and I am just finding it so boring.

I absolutely think Sam is looking for a reason to kill Benny. I used to think it was because Sam was worried about Dean's safety. But it's not. He's just jealous and it's so damn petty.

And I am sure Dean is suffering from something. He sure has been through a lot, but show has never given us any info on him suffering from anything. I think we can definitely attribute his actions to this disorder or PTSD. (the drinking and the hunting...we haven't seen much fucking lately - or even him flirting. Until this episode).

I think I'm just tired of us having to make excuses for our characters. I know the show is grounded by the human element but I would love to see them rise above these issues and just get on with saving people, hunting things and being good brothers again.

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I totally agree - but unfortunately I seem to have lost the ability to care about all their traumas. I sure it will return at some point.

I think they're trying to cater to us fans.

Oh god really? Then they don't know this fan very well. I love the relationship stuff between the boys but man, they are going overboard atm.

And to be honest...I just don't care what they do between Dean and Benny. I do like the idea that maybe Benny turns Dean and Sam gets to save him but I'm not sure what that will achieve other than Sam saying "I told you so" and Dean saying "I'd rather be a vampire with Benny than be a brother to you". Yeah...I'm feeling just that bitter about it all. Sorry. :(

However, angry, possessive, make-up sex between them would totally work for me!! :D *seeks out fic*
