Hi- I just found your journal by way of SGA fanfiction and, of course, found myself reading your "Oh SPN" posting since I felt much the same way. Like an earlier commenter, it sure seems like SPN is going the way of X-Files- from fun and kind of kooky to creepy, dark and somewhat confusing. We went from fun "bad guy of the week" episodes with an overarching arc of "where's Dad" to an overarching "the bad guys are the angels- the demons - the angels- us" and only a few fun "bad guy-ish" episodes like the Wishing Well episode. The X-Files took the same path with fun episodes and a background of a dark conspiracy to the conspiracy being the focus of the show and the chemistry of the characters and the excellent imagination of the story lines falling behind.

Can I say I miss the "jerk-bitch" interaction of the brothers and am just really tired of the whole 66 seals story line? And, unfortunately, I'm not sure the show can be fixed at this point in time- Dean is always going to be scarred by his trip to hell, and Sam is always going to be less trust-worthy in Dean's and the viewer's eyes. I miss the simple joy of the early days of SPN- even in its darkness (death of their Mother and Jess in the first episode) the focus of the story was on the re-building relationship between the brothers not the full scale destruction of it we are seeing now.

Anyway, sorry to just butt in but wanted to share my two cents.

(And I love your SGA fiction :) )
