Well, I have no plans this weekend. If you have the time, we could catch up! :)
I'm still bitter that Gamble was so deplored by huge swathes of the fandom just for trying to do something different with the show I know! I really miss her clear sense of direction and most of all her clear sense of the characters and their history. The lack thereof is my biggest gripe with the current creative team. And now that Edlund left the team as well, there is no actual writer left who was with the show in the early years. I don't count Carver, because for some reason he lost his deft touch with the characters during his absence from the show. Not to mention that I am under the impression that he didn't care to catch up on what he missed in S6/7.
I'd like to say 'yes, stop watching, preserve the love you once had', but it hasn't worked like that for me I am not at the point with SPN yet, where the current downward spiral affects my love for S1-7. I've just rewatched Fresh Blood and Mystery Spot and I felt as affected by them as always. However, I fear that my love for the show may not recover from 3 years (S8-S10 possibly) of watching it be driven into the ground by Carver & Co.
