I have watched on my little tablet, but need to watch again before I write a review, wasn't as enthralled with this one, so I'm waiting until I've watched again on a bigger screen to see if I can appreciate the rather bitty production, right now I feel as though they shot too much scenery footage! :))
I heard about seaon 11 yesterday, have filled in your poll of course! I am happy about it for their sake, even though the show isn't hitting me emotionally any longer, it is a very huge cornerstone of my on line experience and I kind of want to embrace it again, but yes, I do wish they'd be bold and shake things up, but as you say, no way we're getting that now, but they desperately need some fresh ideas for conflict.
Oh, I was enjoying 9.01 first showing at first, even with my freak outs about how show handles possession, I followed them, I followed Dean's decision to do what he did, it was organic, it showed his absolute panic, but I don't think I had appreciated how played he was and how manipulative Ezikiel was from the very beginning (and I admit I found it hard keeping things straight in my head, that all those speeches from Dean and Bobby weren't them but a projection of how Sam 'thought' they'd be and in the end I'm still not sure if Death WAS there or not, or even if Dean was Dean or Ezikiel asking)
But the end - keeping the secret and then next line of episodes when Dean seemed to find the angel more useful than his brother as did the writing team, then things got very difficult. I pulled well away from fandom when the witch hunts started, first with Dean being painted as a bastard manipulator to Sam 'all 10 years of series' and then Sam got it in the neck over everything else - I couldn't handle my feelings over that when I love both of them to pieces - flaws, warts and all, if you can understand why one did as he did how can you not understand how the other felt, and yet if you didn't absolutely agree on one side being 100% to blame then your own human existance was being called into question? Nope, not for me those discussions.
I hear you on the AU vid thing, I've only done a couple and you really need to dig deep and latch onto your story, you probably remember the Mother Mary thing I did and what a mess that was at first until you started questioning exactly what the hell I was doing! Hee, worked out though as I'm sure yours will, you know where I am if you need anything.
