the problem I had on another forum is that people would say it was stale, they didn't like it, they wish the storyline would go back to season 1, say they hate the show and that they're never watching it again.... and then the next week they've watched it again, and are saying the same exact things they said about the previous episode.

so what the Supernatural fandom has done for me is simply get my defenses up for any show I watch... I have to distance myself from comments about shows for a while until I realize it's just a comment, no harm is meant by it, and then I can reply objectively.

I'm just going to apologize ahead of time if I say something that sounds defensive. I try not to be. =)

I can see how it would. I have watched a few episodes that I saw but when Lucifer came back i just turned my back on the show. I felt for Sam being put in that situation and what a lot of people have taken as verbal and physical abuse from Lucifer. I saw that their mom was brought back and really I just don't know. The show was good at its roots, bringing the Angels in wasn't bad. But now… It feels like a telanovela which wasn't what I signed up to watch. Kind of like Once Upon a Time, but I am a firm believer of too much of a good thing.

MonBon - at the time, no one else had popped in the thread.

Tiva - I look at it this way: the writers have their plan for the episodes, but they also need to see if the actors are available. So I think that sometimes when a character leaves the show, the actor was called away or left to do something else. When a character comes back on a show, the writers and other Important People on the show have contacted that actor and they were available, so the writers (may) need to rearrange their episodes and storylines.

and I think that's what happened with Samatha Smith, so they wrote the Mom back into the storyline.

Back in the early seasons, Kripke had said that the Hunters were the 'angels,' but then he introduced Castiel and the other angels, and that started getting people pissy.

I, personally, signed up to see Dean and Sam hunting things and saving people, and as long as they're doing that, I'll be watching. (and Jensen Ackles doesn't hurt, either)

for Once Upon a Time, i started watching for all the fairy tale characters in a little town in Maine. and that's still there. (and Colin O'Donoghue doesn't hurt that, either!) XD

I'm very behind on Once Upon a Time

[trystan830]

well, it comes back on March 5th, so there's some time to catch up... XD

I originally wanted to watch Once Upon A Time from the beginning..I accidentally watched only the last season's episodes.

You guys are silly :)

[trystan830]

and proud of it, too!

[MonBon]

Poti, you seem to have, erm, an owl problem. I'm sorry you had to find out this way

[Glitch]

I know right? Owl is covering up everything else!

[Potironette]

Oh dear, I'm afraid the owl came over and blew the avatar over :o!

[MonBon]

Mercury Poisoning sounds like an appropriate tag for a mermaid

[trystan830]

Glitch i've started with Hemlock Grove.

and i was right, at least for the first weird bit of the first episode i'm watching right now (i'm in the middle of 1x01) - it's a bit Twin Peaks-ish. XD

but as of now, it's not so bad.... just weird.
