I feel....betrayed

keliosI feel like I just broke up with my best friend.
I love Supernatural. I do. But this....this isn't what I want to see. This isn't a good story. This is causing viewers pain for no good reason that I can find. This whole season has been one painful episode after another--brilliant acting and directing, but why is the story going this way? What is the point? It's like the writers just want to see how much they can put us through before we finally say enough is enough.
I've pretty much decided....if next season is Sam against Dean I'm not watching. I'm done. the show I fell in love with was two brothers who cared about each other and had a relationship, and I just don't see a plausible way for them to ever go back to that. Even if they try, it will always be there and nothing will ever be right again. I don't want to see that.
The other option is that one or both dies, and I don't want to see that either. I'm just so disappointed in all the characters (not the actors), even Dean. How could he say Sam is a monster? There are plenty of addicts in the world who have done things that are, quite frankly, much worse than drinking a little blood. Are they monsters? Dean can't see past his own fears in this situation and he played right into Sam's delusions.
And Sam....he tried to kill Dean. He WANTED to kill Dean. Dean was on the floor, helpless. He could have just left, but he had to hurt his brother just that little bit more. He keeps asking Dean to trust him because he's always trusted Dean, but why can't Sam trust Dean? Why is he choosing Ruby over his brother?
There's no coming back from this. Not in any realistic, believable way. As far as I can see, it's over.
That said, I really hope I'm wrong. Kripke has surprised me before, maybe he'll do it again. But if things keep going the way they are, I won't be around to see it because this just isn't fun any more.

Date: 2009-05-08 05:11 am (UTC)and yeah....i'm not really a fan anymore. i know exactly how you feel with the "lost my best friend" comment you made because i feel that way too....now i'm searching for another "favorite" show to fill the void.
i'll probably watch next season to see how it ends, but i certainly won't be as involved as i have been with it.
i've always thought they were going to end it with both of them dying....killing each other....there's really no other way to end a show like this....but i still don't like the path this show has gone.
and i also agree that i feel like they're doing all of this JUST to piss off fans, rather than actually have a decent storyline.

But, when you have a chance, please check out my review of the episode. It has a different take on the issues and I hope this may help.

Take care, doll.

Dean has spent his entire life chasing after Sam; it's time Sam owned up and took a little responsibility for his own actions for once. But I don't see that happening. I see Dean crawling after Sam once more and Sam graciously taking him back again--until the next time Sam decides to leave.
Bitter? Who, me? Nahhhh.
Seriously, though, I'm just in a funk about the show and the way things are going. I'll pull out of it over the summer.
