There are certain things about supernatural that are for lack of a better word, annoying. Long time ago, in season one, two and three, actually four and five also; the first two minutes of the show weren't always the same. In fact, add six, seven, eight and nine to that tally. Somewhere around season ten, they started doing the same thing over and over which gets kind of monotonous. Dean wakes up in the morning, goes to the kitchen/library where Sam is sitting in front of his laptop. Then Sam says, "Caught a case."
He explains the case to Dean, Dean says but what about *insert big bad here* and Sam says "We'll catch a break but meanwhile let's keep moving, keep swinging..."
He doesn't even sound like he believes it anymore.
So then Dean says "Okay" and the scene cuts to the Impala speeding along the highway.
Interspersed of course with the MOTW characters getting killed.
Sigh.
I miss the days when every episode was different and they didn't have to tell each other to "keep moving, keep swinging," every episode. I miss when their roadside talks were really emotional and personal and gave insight into something. These days they just sound like platitudes. Are we pandering to somebody? Can we go back to storytelling?
I feel like we're losing the vision of what makes Supernatural great. We're losing the spark, sacrificed at the altar of fan service or whatever.
Can we please all remember who we are and what this show is about? Once the focus is lost, we will not last very long.
