How embarrassing is it that I'm still trying to address comments from weeks ago?
I don't think the writers actually realise that there are issues.
I'm not sure why they stuck in a series of mostly sub-par episodes right in the middle of the season (5x05-5x12). I keep trying to make excuses like they put their newer, less experienced writers who may not be as in touch with the characters on these episodes, but that's clearly not the case as even Kripke wrote some of the less memorable episodes ("Curious Case"). So, even though I don't like the idea as it concedes that the "problems" likely aren't to be fixed (you can't fix what you don't know is wrong), I think you may be right. :(
don't think S5 is really salvageable to me, all they can do is damage control now.
With the past 2 episodes, my hope that this season may find its feet again has flickered. I'm ready for this season to finally start!
I know it's silly, but I now put my hope into S6. Maybe I'll get the closure I want for my boys there.
Not silly at all. I want those boys to have a proper send off and our story to have a satisfying ending more than anything else. I can't imagine anything less disappointing than to have invested all these years of avid viewing to have the ending fall flat.
I'm ambivalent about a S6, half of wants nothing more than more SPN no matter what and the other half doesn't want to be frustrated/disappointed/annoyed if what we get isn't quality storytelling.
