Of course I still love Supernatural and I always will. I'll especially love the first three seasons because those were my favorites. It really hasn't been the same since season 4 started. I personally don't feel like Sam and Dean act like brothers and I don't think Dean treats Sam like a brother anymore. I watched "Simon Said" and I loved how Dean put his hand on Sam's arm and was being protective of him when they were talking to Ellen and Sam was telling her about his visions. I don't see Dean being that way now. He treats Sam like he's some freak or monster and is waiting until the day he'll have to kill him or something. I hate that. It's just the way Dean looks at Sam with disgust at times as well.
I love how after Sam killed Lilith and broke the final seal, Dean acted like Sam is the one that brought the Apocalypse on all by himself. Like Dean never was weak and broke in hell and broke the first seal and had any part in it. Castiel told Dean that he was the only one that could stop the apocalypse and he didn't lie about it. It was all on Dean and he failed not because he didn't stop Sam from drinking demon blood and killing Lilith, but because he had no faith in himself or in Sam. He gave up and didn't care about anything. Then in season 5, it was like he gave up again on himself, God and Sam and was going to give himself to Michael. He didn't give a crap about how Sam was feeling or what he was going through. Dean only gave a crap about himself and he thought he was the only one that could do everything. He wasn't arrogant or self righteous, but Sam was when he thought he was the only one that could stop Lilith and kill her. Sam wasn't wrong about that. He was the only one that could kill her.
Then you have the sixth season that takes place after Sam jumped into Hell to save the world and Dean going to play house with Lisa and Ben. Dean finds out Sam has no soul and it's still in Hell and what is he more worried about. That his brother's soul is suffering horribly or that his soulless body is going around hunting and maybe killing innocents in the process, but probably saving more people in the long run. Dean just was worried about soulless Sam killing people and that's all he cared about and wanted to stop. He never stopped to think how Sam would feel or what would happen to him once he got his soul back. Dean just wanted his brother back to give him some self worth again or to not be along or whatever. He never gave a thought about Sam possibly suffering any effects of what happened to him. He was probably counting on good old Castiel to be there if that wall fell and fix Sam so he was new again. Like Castiel could really do that. Then Castiel goes and tears that wall down and I bet Dean cares more about losing Castiel than he does about what's happening to Sam. You could tell at the beginning of the season that Dean was sad about good old Cas.
Now onto to season 7 and Dean is just worried about Sam going psycho and killing people. He's not worried about what Sam is going through because if he was, he'd know that Sam is not okay and hasn't been since that wall came down in his mind. You'd think Dean would be more worried or care about that. Like that would be his driving force and what made him get back into hunting again long before what happened with Bobby. Dean should be super angry at Castiel for what he did to Sam or allowed to happen to Sam.
I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes of season 7 and then it started going downhill after the sixth episode. I loved the wedding episode because at least we got to see Sam in the story and it was funny. The other episodes have been so so. A lot of the episodes to me have been just rehashed stories or goofy episodes to showcase Dean and how great he is. I want to believe that we'll finally get some Sam focus and storyline, but I just don't. I remember all the other seasons and wishing and hoping for the same thing only to get disappointed time after time after time. I'm getting tired of waiting for something that will never happen. I want to believe Jared and believe what he said about what's coming up for Sam, but then I think why would the writers allow him to tell what he did. Probably because that's not all that's going to happen. I'm sure the last episodes of the season will be all about poor Dean and his big secret and his problems and guilt or who cares. I sure don't. I'm tired of watching The Dean Show. If there is a season 8, then I hope the show either goes back to being about both Sam and Dean and focusing on both of them. Or, it can be all The Dean Show and I just won't watch it anymore. Jared can take all the time off he wants to spend with Gen and his new baby and I'll be very happy for them. I'm just not going to keep watching a show that only focuses on one of the leads and not the other. When I started watching Supernatural, I loved it because I knew my favorite character Sam would have plenty of story and the show would just be about him and Dean. The first three seasons were like this. You had stories and good stuff for both of them. Then in season 4 it was all about Dean and more Dean. And Castiel. Then season 5, it was about Dean, Castiel and Bobby. Season 6, Dean, Castiel and Bobby. Season 7, more Dean, Castiel and Bobby. So what the hell happened to Sam. It's like his character is just a piece of crap to those three and all the other guest stars that appear on the show. The show now is more about Dean and the guest stars, than Dean and Sam.
I was going to start posting more on that new board and I doubt I'm going to be going on there very much at all. It's just like the old board. Fights over bullshit. Sniveling over fictional characters that are not real. Goofy crap. I'd love to debate about some stuff on the show, but it's not possible to. Dean fans can say whatever they want to because you know what, they always get what they want and that's Dean front and center always on Supernatural. I hate to say this, but I'm going to anyway and I hope it changes when the show comes back on. Supernatural is no longer must see TV for me. I think I have to watch old episodes just to keep loving and watching the new episodes. I still watch every new episode when it airs, but lately I haven't really cared whether I miss it or not. I haven't missed any of the new episodes yet, but if it keeps going on the way it has, I probably will and I won't care. I'm still looking forward to going to the Burbank Con because I love all the stars and I love what they've brought to Supernatural. All the stars have great personalities and they make the Con so fun and I love to listen to them talk on stage.
Maybe I also need to stop listening to other fans and how they feel about the show. I think sometimes just knowing what they think and feel makes me not want to watch my favorite show anymore. I think during season 4, I almost stopped watching mainly because of what other fans were saying about the show and Sam. How horrible he was to poor Dean? How stupid he was not to listen to Dean and the angels? How stupid he was to sleep with Ruby and drink demon blood and kill demons and save Dean? How stupid he was to try and stop the apocalypse and the seals from breaking? How great and wonderful Dean was because he was going to save the world, even though he helped to start the apocalypse. Like Dean was the big hero and Sam the big villian of the show. Now it's like that again in season 7.
I think I need to stop reading spoilers, stop listening to other goofy fans opinions and stop reading about what could happen on the show. Spoilers are around to get you excited for the show and sometimes all they do is make me not want to watch at all.
Okay, I think I'm done for now.
