at least some of that enjoyment depends on not thinking about it too much.
Yeah, that is the problem with writing reviews. You're required to think about it in more detail. I actually came away from the episode pretty happy, but the more I thought (and wrote) about it, the more it diminished my happiness. Some episodes just don't hold together well and are better enjoyed on a superficial level.
Watching season eight feels like looking at someone's first draft.
I hear you. I often wonder why that is. I mean, okay, Jeremy Carver doesn't have much experience as showrunner, but neither had Kripke or Gamble and they did just fine. Also, Carver has experienced people like Edlund and Singer at his side, who have been with the show for a very long time and know their way around plotting and character development. Shouldn't they step in when they see that the season is falling apart. I guess I just don't understand what's happening in the writers' room at the moment.
And it's such a hopeful storyline.
Yes! I like that, too. I also like that it allows the brothers to be proactive for once. And it certainly is a worthy endgame for the show.
I would assume the Men of Letters either have the angel tablet
Oh, okay, that makes sense. I didn't think that far ahead, but of course it is entirely possible that the MoL secured the tablet.
