Speaking of Supernatural, is it just me or does the sixth season blow? The Count Send a noteboard - 04/03/2011 07:43:14 AM
Supernatural was such a great show through the fifth season. It had great humor, great bromance chemistry great creepy moments, the emotions in it felt real, you could accept and believe the storyline, and it was always clever as hell--oops, I accidentally made a pun...

And then Eric Kripke went hands-off and suddenly the show feels like everything happens for the only reason of forwarding the plot--it doesn't unfold naturally and realistically. Besides the plot feeling contrived, I don't like any of the new characters, the dialogue is horrid, emotional scenes are cheesy and soppy, "creepy" scenes aren't creepy, humor is over the top and try-hardy, and what I really don't understand is that Sam and Dean have pretty much lost all the on-screen "bromance chemistry" that they had effortlessly from day one!

What I don't get is that Eric Kripke didn't direct all the episodes, never wrote all of the scripts--there were groups of writers who would write individual episodes--and the Sam and Dean chemistry wasn't even Kripke's influence, the actors brought it in the first season and the Kripke noticed it and then concentrated on it a bit, but he didn't create it. So, what I don't understand is that why when Kripke became Exec Producer instead of show-runner, the writing, casting, acting, and directing started to suck. Theoretically the same writers should still be writing similar stuff (unless they got all new writers and I don't know about it?) Perhaps Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles were like, fuck it, the show sucks now so we'll stop trying, too.

Anyways, sorry for the rant, I'm just venting because I was so excited for another season because the show made me happy, and then all the sudden the show made me sad and angry instead :(
