was ready for the Leviathan to move on, however Aww, man, I loved the leviathans. I think the last time I found a villain on the show as entertaining as the leviathans was when Zachariah was still gracing the screen with his presence. I never found either particularly creepy or menacing, but enormous fun! :)
I don't get the sense that Carver has a clear vision. Yeah, I don't think that either. And that is especially damaging for a show that is as arc-oriented as SPN is. And I agree about Kripke. I always admired about him that he had no problems to openly admit when he went into a wrong direction or when he pushed for something that proved to be stupid in hindsight. Carver seems to lack that kind of critical reflection. At the end of S8, he still made the same statements about the development of the brothers' story as he did at the beginning of the season. He seemed to have no awareness about how deeply he failed the characters and the mythology.
