Aw don't feel bad! I just lurk to check because I don't want to annoy you / make you feel pressurised by asking about them constantly *hug*
So, if Singer forced the 'reconciliation' - Torn and Frayed really doesn't deserve that name, though - so they could go back to Sam and Dean being actual brothers, he is to be credited for the sudden turnaround after all. But I guess we'll never know for sure. I'm going to get the S8 companion just to find out if there is something about the plans for the seasonal structure in it.
Yeah I get what you're saying but I don't know the fact he said he prefers season eight to seven suggests that he was pleased with eight overall. I of course don't know about the back room politics, but if he had the power to 'put his foot down' why didn't he do so earlier instead of allowing the first half of the season to get so bad? I mean if this year is anything to go by where at Comic Con Jared had claimed to read five scripts I think it was? and Misha mentioned something about eight in total he would have had plenty of time to fix up the first half. Unless of course the reason for them being so far in advance this year is that Singer wanted to ensure he could do just that with season nine :D. But then if he is censoring Carver so much why not just announce him as show runner? :s
And even then with episodes like Taxi Driver and The Great Escapist the second half of season nine was far from superb either. You know watching S5 which I do adore faults and all and noticing all of the mytharc faults and strange characterisation in the first half of the season. It makes me wonder while everyone contributed of course was Kim Manners (RIP) the glue that tied everything together and made sure things flowed nicely (with the odd exception here and there) the way they did in S1-4.
And if you do get the season eight companion and it mentions anything let me know
