I have to admit I haven't watched SPN since season 5 ended (at least not the new ones, the first three seasons I saw about a hundred times). After season 5 I didn't start watching immediately, with some of my friends we were afraid to start probably because it was supposed to end with season 5 and it kind of felt closed, than they started to watch season 6 after a few months, I didn't. I still can't bring myself to do it. I know enough from spoilers online (which I can't avoid if I want to be on the internet at all) and friends, that I don't really feel the urge to watch it.
I loved this series at the beginning, two brothers driving around hunting things. But somehow for me it started going downhill somewhere in season 4. And after that it just wasn't the same anymore. If felt like the core of the show, this two brothers who would have done anything even die for each other in a heartbeat, became just a small unsignificant part of some mithology that just kept twisting with big baddies who were killed after a long story just so in the next moment a bigger one can show up because apparently there always have to be something worse. It's like those matryoshka dolls. I'm not saying the sho shouldn't evolve even change a little, but not so much that it becomes something that barely resembles how it started. And every time I read spoilers, or I'm linked a little few minutes part and I see the brothers, it feels like they are distant with each other like two man who barely know or like each other. And instead of fixing it, they seem to break it even more. And now another spoiler about breaking them apart.
I have to say, I'm not exactly motivated to sit down over the summer and watch what I've been missing.
Tell me if I missed something and I see things the wrong way after spoilers, and I might just sit and watch it after I'm done with exams, otherwise I think I'll just stick to watching the first few seasons... the show I actually loved.
(I'm sorry for the long post, but I'm already tense because of my exams and this interview just made me say this.)
