This season has been good, but it would be nice to get back to the human stories that made me love the show in the first place.
Behind those stories, though, was the need to find John, you know?
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Only in S1 though, and I think the human feel kept up through S2.

Right, but in S2 they were trying to find YED. There's always some overarching goal, just like in BtVS or Angel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get the feeling that financial security is at least partly responsible for some of Jensen's doubtful choices in the movies he's made
What was behind Jared's dubious choices?
Jensen has spent too much time standing next to Padalecki and Welling. He needs to stand next to normal people, and then he'll be more castable as an action character.

I think it's hard for anyone in an hour-long drama to find movie roles, too, simply based on scheduling, right? After the show is over they can grab for more roles that are filming wherever, whenever.

But there's no reason there couldn't be this again. That's what I'm saying, though maybe not too well.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What was behind Jared's dubious choices?
That young actor need to get his face on screen as much as possible--recognition factor, so producers and casting people at least know his face when a project comes up.

Oh! I thought you were saying there didn't need to be a goal. You just want the more human, personal stories along with! Which is also a-okay with me.

I completely agree with Lee. I don't think that's a surprise, since I've been vocal about that all season--probably last season too.
I want more "Killing things, saving people. The family business." And I'd like the show to go out on that note--helping ordinary people, doing good on a human level--rather than "We saved the world! Now we're going to Disneyland!" or heaven or something.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Maybe defeating Lucifer creates a civil war in Hell that spills over into the physical world. That could easily take a whole season to mop up.
