Yeah, I'm not sure what that means either.
But I don't really care, for now. If Show's on, I'm watching. I may have mentioned the whole "irrational about it" thing.
I loathed S7 Buffy, and I still watched, you know?
Fire bad. Tree pretty.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I honestly think Season 6 went off the rails about midway through with dropped plots and wasted potential, and then mostly picked up right at the end. Season 7 started off awesome and has had the occasional good episode, but I think it took really promising and different main antagonists and squandered them by making them pedestrian. The cardinal sin is that I was bored by much of this last year's episodes. I still generally enjoyed the performances, but I did not think the show was being well-managed. (My opinion of Gamble WRT to the show is much like my opinion of Marti Noxon: a talented writer who's responsible for good episodes but probably shouldn't have been put in charge of the show as a whole.)

I think for me, when I get attached to show like this, I'm watching it sort of as a friend. As in, I don't really care about the Big Bads that much, I just want to know how my friends are doing, if that makes sense. Same way I wouldn't say I wished a friend's divorce had been more dramatic, with more of a clear-cut arc, I'm much more interested in just seeing Sam and Dean interact than I am in whatever the latest apocalypse is.
Which is weird, I realize.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's safe to say that I don't love Sam or Dean any less than I ever have. I don't "worry" less about them, or laugh less at them. The danger signal for me is when I drift away from the protagonists. Yes, the show can always be better, but then again, I liked a more corporate villain (not in the league of the Mayor, but I think cut from similar cloth) for the boys. It was a nice break from angels and demons, which I was kinda burnt out on.

Castiel tasted of lemongrass and honeybush vanilla. Dean paused, pulling back from Castiel's pouting mouth. He asked, "Cas, have you been ordering tea online again?"

I just realised more tickled me about this than the punchline.
Jared? Really? That is your favourite? You're adorable.
And Misha, I'm assuming that's a West thing, which is +500 cute points to house Collins right away.

I bet it's his favorite NOW. Although my niece's favorite animal has always been the moose, so who knows.
I don't get the West Wing ref, but I do love the looks on their faces when the kid says "vampire bat". Heh.

Not West Wing, West thing. West Anaximander.

Amy, I read it as West Wing the first time too.
Jared is adorable.
