ash48I'm not going to be writing up a reaction or review of 10.12. In fact, it's unlikely I'll be writing them any more. I feel I only want to complain these days and that's not fair on anyone (though I'm thinking of writing up some general stuff - mostly to help me try and work why I'm feeling just over it all).
I am still curious about what every one thought so I'll still do the polls (if you're all still happy to fill them out *g*).

put this in season 2 and I probably would have been shouting from the roof tops.
OMG! Me too! It really did have it all. Like last week, I really enjoyed it. And, like last week it left me empty. I felt like I could see the machinations of it all.
it's spider webs over chasms of missed opportunity.
Oh, nicely put.
And YES! It's the opportunities to say/do something that they keep missing. The fact is, it became very clear that they just don't see that there IS anything to address. It really is like none of that ever happened. None of ANYTHING from S8 on seems relevant. I just wish they could tie in some of the huge issues they started to address last season. I know it's "just a TV show", but dammit - some of us watch it intently, not just as a passing show (I gotta figure that of the nearly 2mil that watch in the US when it airs, most of them are just passing watchers…. I really don't know).
but get off the fucking internet and out of fandom and look at this show's history not it's fandom's wants and needs.
OH GOD! This SO MUCH! And that's so it! Adam Glass was tweeting before it aired and during the episode and it's all this "acceptance" that's so worrying. I know it must be rewarding having fans shower you with love, but I want them to write stories because of an overall arc and plan, not for instant gratification. Glass wanted to use Dylan Everett again (don't blame him!!) but he wasted a great opportunity to do something between the brothers other than reinforce that Sam worries about Dean and Dean is fighting the Mark. But yeah. Too complicated I suppose.
Take it from me, take the show for what it is, a bit of fantasy fodder in pretty pictures and throw yourself into fandom, you'll be happier, fandom can fix anything
Yeah. Good advice. And I'm trying! *g* I always said I would not go quietly. I'll go kicking and screaming out of this fandom. OR maybe I will eventually just lose interest...
