As I haven't made a poll in a while, I thought I'd dust off the poll generator and create this one. Also, I'm curious peeps are feeling about this news. :)
Yes. I think that's why I have mixed feelings. I feel the show will be giving the boys more time off. They seem to be developing other characters much more than they used to, so I think it may be more and more ensemble than just featuring the brothers (which, it's been for a few seasons now anyway). I miss those early days, but I understand why they need an easier schedule.
Seriously. By now I've become very very adept at multi-tasking while watching SPN. Thanks to VLC's "always on top" (heh) option, I can make the window smaller and look at something else when I need to tune out.
Not unrelatedly, I just finished rewatching Return of the King for the nth time, in which Frodo tells Sam at the end that Sam's part in the story will go on. I'm all for stories going on, but if secondary characters are starting to get more screen time than the supposed leads, then maybe it's time to give them their spinoff and let the original show end (as much as I hate to admit it) while it still somewhat resembles itself. (Theoretically, I can be on board with the idea of an angels+demons spinoff in which Sam and Dean occasionally appear as guest characters and I can watch their scenes on youtube instead of suffering through entire episodes!)

*nods* I would love to seem them spin the angels and demons off and Sam and Dean appear occasionally - as long as they don't call it Supernatural. After 10.09 I wondered if we had started to watch the spin off actually…
I loved Jensen's idea of actually putting the show on the road. Travel around - really take the show on the road. I suspect it would be a technical nightmare, but refreshing - even if only for a handful of episodes.
