I think there's maybe a gap between the story the fans want to see, and the one the show is actually telling.
I think this is particularly true. More and more we are hanging on to what we've seen before and wanting to see that now. Almost grasping to anything that's remotely close. I remember fandom "celebrating" when Dean and Sam came back together midway through S8 and all I could think is - but this is tragic. It was heartbreaking and for the first time I began to think that they would be better off apart. But, as you say, we want (need!) them to be together so they have to keep find ways of achieving that.
Thank you. I love the idea of them being like vengeful spirits.
the lesson we've yet to learn: "it ends when you can't take it any more".
I think die hard fans (me included!) just don't know how to let go. I keep saying "I want to quit you" but maybe it's like watching a train wreck. I just can't look away.
