Of course. Lets heap more disdain on Dean for the season because Lord knows he deserves it. Not. Ryan (the youngest) were cheering for Sam to stay dead. Of course, we knew we couldn't have everything we wanted, but man, we can't even get a LITTLE of what we want. IS it so much to ask for ONE.. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE season about Dean

Not only that, but JARED SUCKS AT PLAYING ANGEL SAM!
There. I said it. I was griping to my husband about how they'd better not have angel!Sam because Jared doesn't have the acting chops, and then it happened, and my husband started laughing and was like, "Wow. That's some stellar acting right there."
If I had balls, I'd have given my left one for angel!Dean, especially Michael!Dean. Jensen could have pulled it off.
This? This is just bullshit. Painful bullshit. Underwhelmed doesn't begin to cover it.
How right you are. Jared, God love'im, just can't hack it... On that note, I forgot to add that my 15 year old son's reaction to seeing that first scene of Sam-as-Ezekiel was to burst out in laughter. I'm not lying. Literal and loud bursts of laughter at Jared's attempt to represent the previous actor who was Ezekiel who, by the way, was a far better actor as Ezekiel. Not since last season, where we watched Jared/Sam emote to his squishy love for Emelia (vomit), did he laugh so hard. All those close-up shots of Jared's emo-Sam-face twitches.... my god.. it was the most awkward thing I'd seen in a long while; terribly unflattering to the guy

Ugh. Thank you for re-affirming my decision to stop watching this show. I hated to give it up after investing so much time, but they entirely stopped being true to the characters, and that is where I entirely stop enjoying a show. On to greener pastures (hopefully) with Almost Human. And of course POI. =)
Very true about the characters. It really is amazing how effortlessly they've slaughtered and maligned these guys. It's gotten so bad that even I nearly hate them

Hi I have not watched second half of season 8 (After Sam got trial storyline). I watch show for Dean- a kickass, take charge Dean with a purpose. Would you suggest if i should give a chance to 9.1 ? I have no interest in codependency/destiel. Its really difficult to get answers cause most reviews are extremely Sam/Cas centric and barely mention Dean. You can send me a PM if you are not choosing to answer here.
I agree with you. I have always loved Dean for his heroic qualities. In early seasons I believed that he would do what is right no matter the cost. Every decision he made I could relate and understand. But since season 8 Dean seems like a one dimensional cardboard character. His dignity, his importance, his integrity everything I loved about him is stripped from him. He has become guilty cheerleader and comic relief. It does not help that almost all new characters are unwatchable

I have never seen Breaking Bad but I should give it a go. Like you, I hear some good things and this is it's last season, I think, is this year and then it's gone. Other shows I've heard about but not seen are Downton Abbey, Sherlock (not the movies), Agents of Shield is a new show this season; they are 2 episodes in and I saw the premier. It didn't grab me like I'd hoped but I'll stick with it for a bit to see because, well, it's Joss Whedon of Firefly and Buffy and The Avengers so, he gets a pass for a slow start. For now. I can only hope the show's still around when Jensen is done with the crap-fest that is Supernatural and Mr. Ackles can land a spot there. I think the show, so far as I've seen, is missing some complex characters with good acting skills; Jensen fits that bill, and even Jared... to a point. And God knows the fans would be right there with either of them

I just checked for reaction posts for tonights epi and cherry916 has a disclaimer in hers threatening to ban commenters for character bashing and referring back to last weeks post for cause. It was YOU! I would have left cheers and kisses and hearts and CHOCOLATES there for you but I feared both of our comments would have been deleted and that would have been unfair to you.
I'm with you 100% here. I'm sick of Dean getting shit on by Show. But it's like a train wreck about to happen...I just cannot look away. I will have to settle this year (again) with pointing out Jared's appalling acting, the waste of Jensen's abilities and watching Castiel struggle with his humanness.
Anyway, when I watch and laugh at the ridiculousness of Jared's Angel!Sam, and it is funny as hell, I know you will be laughing too.
Oh, so I'm infamous now, eh? Glad to wear that moniker, quite honestly. If she banned me I wouldn't lose sleep, as she apparently will since she had to threaten in order to feel better about herself. I can take it, I don't mind

I used to leave episode reactions and meta until the S5 finale. It was such a massive failure to a five year arc and I was so disgusted by, well...everything by that point I just left LJ. The Dean hate had grown exponentially and Kripke made himself God for fucks sake and fandom sucked it up. I still watched every episode, but not more than once.
That being said, I think it's time I get back on the horse. Dean needs an advocate, and while it should be someone who has a better way with words, I have the time. At the very least I can stir the pot...kettle...whatever, a bit.
