9.23 reaction

[ash48]

I had a huge reaction post written out but decided it was far too negative and started to make me cry so I decided not to post it.

I will say that I didn't mind watching the episode (made all the better because I had zebra363 with me) but in all honesty it left me feeling pretty much nothing. Empty. Blank. Perhaps a bit annoyed, frustrated and sad.

I love these characters too much to see them wasted like this. To have them at odds all season just so we can have "near" apology scenes and confessions of "I lied". :(

For a whole season to mean absolutely nothing. To have gone absolutely no where. *sobs* (and not the good *sobs* - only S8 and S9 have reduced me to tears over loss of the show I fell in love with).

I need more time to process. I'm sure I will shake these blues away and find something salvageable here.

Though I'm thinking until Carver leaves I'll never see the Sam and Dean I grew to love.

I'd say they've already created their spin off. We watched it this season.

(PS: please, if you loved it and want to squee please feel free. I need to know it's worth hanging on to. I need to know that this is just all part of a plan to build this show back to something we recognise. I need to know that they didn't make Sam say important stuff only to have it completely and utterly ignored for a reason. I need to know that this hasn't just become the worst, predictable, most boring, fan servicing pile of... )

I so agree. There's only so much Jensen's acting was outstanding or Guh, Sam's HAIR! you can say to make up for the shit they're giving us.

I can't help but thinking those who are cheering started watching Show in later seasons and only have a passing concept of the origins through reruns.

Maybe I'm naive or maybe I'm just not ready to let go yet. I don't know. But I'm actually one of those who started in the early seasons (and fiercely loves them to this day) and still watches for the Sam&Dean moments.

I don't unconditionally like the later seasons, don't get me wrong, but I'm still cheering when I get brotherly moments and the boys still break my heart. I wish I could give you this emotional connection back. I'm sorry that you're so dissapointed. Group hug?

Yeah. I was confused with the "omg, the feeeeeelllsss" after this episode because we've had all those feeeeeels before and so much stronger. But, I', also happy for those people because, gosh, I wish I was doing that. perhaps I'm just too jaded after so many years. Another death just didn't have the impact for me. Nor did the demon eyes - but I think that's because I was spoiled for that. Jensen pretty much gave the ending away.

Anyway. I'm curious to see what they do now. If I continue not to feel it, I may have to bow out. I seriously hope not though. :(
