Supernatural 8x22 - Clip Show
People in general seem to have loved this episode... I can see why, in a sense... it had action, nostalgia, drama, loss, angst, etc It had everything, in theory. But it almost made me want to quit the show! Now I'm a bit better, a few hours later, but at first I was so upset!( Thoughts (mostly complaining, tbh) )

What was the point, really? Why bring back a character who appeared in one episode from S1, who is considered a fan favorite, only to senselessly kill her off minutes once bringing her back? The whole "killing everyone they ever loved" thing is so cliche and rather repetitive, since that is the entirety of the show in a nutshell. It was pointless to demonstrate that aspect by bringing someone back like that only to kill them off moments later, since it added little worry about characters since they already kill off most of recurring ones anyway. I also shouldn't expect any different from a show that blatantly mistreats women characters, either ( ... )

So the bringing characters back from previous seasons to kill them HAS a point, in fairness. It was done to raise the stakes, and to make us fear Crowley (so far no one took him seriously as a villain).
I just wish it hadn't been Sarah. I understand why, along with Tommy from Wendigo and Jenny from season 7, the writers chose her. They chose her exactly because Sam and Dean care for her, and the audience cares for her. It wouldn't have been as effective with a character that people didn't care about.
So I understand why it was done, but I still HATE it with the heat of a thousand suns. People really loved Sarah, many dreamt of her as Sam's endgame. This show needs to stop making its viewers completely miserable and taking away any hope.
I'm this close to being completely fed up.

And yes, I'll always be bitter about Sarah! :/
It all depends on what happens in the finale next week... if things continue to be this bad or worse, maybe I'll find the strenght to stop watching too! This show makes me miserable....

Well, I have, and honestly I feel so much better without the never ending pointless angst that leads nowhere and serves no purpose in the show's development...
I don't appreciate making Castiel the Angel of the Lord (I miss season 4 Cas and his solemnity and dignity so much) the village idiot season after season.
...yep, and blatant butchering of my favorite characters.
Also, why support something as bad as what this show has become? The more viewers they lose, the sooner they get cancelled and stop. :)

So I'm afraid I'm in as long as Cas is still there, I'm too invested. This will undoubtedly lead to more pain and disappointment, of course, especially since they are only capable of abusing the character, and pitting him against Dean...
Sigh. If I could stop hoping for better things it would be so much easier!!

LMAO if my speculations are correct you're in for a tough time next season! I imagine that at some point after the show is over I'll probably go back and watch the last two seasons (assuming it does indeed with season 10) and get it over with in one quick go! But the idea of not being upset practically every other week next year is a pretty freeing feeling the more I get used to :xD

Ugh. I need to do an in-depth reaction post. But for now, just... yeah. That episode was all-around atrocious.

The D/C stuff is all over the place and changes depending on the episode and the writer. It seriously gives me an headache, and they are lucky that I am so insanely invested, enough to stick with it through thick and thin.
