Yeah, I entirely understand. I admit to still shallowly enjoying the pretty, (and Dean and Castiel were both gorgeous), but everything else...killing Uriel especially. We spent much time after going, "Did they really just do that? seriously?" SGA has its big huge issues with race and gender, but I can believe they're coming from a well-meaning if ignorant place. SPN, though...*ugh*. Need a shower indeed. And everything else, too - the writers' ids are showing in the nastiness of ways.
No, this isn't the show we started watching, and not the show I want to be watching. I do feel that my earlier impression of the season has been justified - that we're not meant to be cheering on Dean & Sam wholeheartedly anymore, that we're supposed to be seeing them in shades of gray that are steadily getting darker - but I *miss* cheering them on!
(I think this is partly why I'm enjoying MUNCLE as much as I am - for the most part I'm glad TV has gotten more complex and nuanced in its storytelling, but sometimes I just miss pure fun escapism in my escapist entertainment!)
