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*).

Date: 2015-02-08 02:25 am (UTC)I think a lot of what you say is true, and it's sad because the reason we love the show is Sam and Dean (both of them conscious). BUT, it doesn't forgive the sloppy writing and continual recon of Canon. I just think Carver is a sloppy show runner. I don't think he's checking his writers stories for continuity or canon. No other show on TV is as all over the place as SPN is right now. One minute a vampire is a vampire, next their a Vamp prepper using all the bits. Why not just invent a new monster? And why not interrogate Booger/Goober whatever his name is with the little brain sticks, call Crowley over and get his help. And why haven't Sam and Dean gone to visit Cain as he requested? That line was written in Carver country, so he should be able to remember that one. Sloppy details in every episode and knocking Sam out for the hundredth time doesn't make it better. For a guy who wrote Mystery Spot that was all about Sam, he sure seems to have lost his understanding of Sam in particular.
If we at least got some interesting monster story lines out of it I could go with your explanation, but Castiel and Ken's epic road trip just hasn't been that interesting and neither has Crowley's storyline. When Sam and Dean even when they are guest starring in the show they still have the most interesting storyline.
See, I got all upset, but I'm still watching, if only for the pretty, but it's not our show anymore. At least with Sera, I still felt it was our show, just slower and darker with a lot more killing. I keep hoping Jared and Jensen will scoop up Kripke and smuggle him back to Canada to do the show. Start broadcasting the rebel years of Sam and Dean where they jack into all the network feeds and show Kripke's new version of SPN, now wouldn't that be something. LOL
