I sometimes wonder what show people are watching.

Clearly, it's not the same one I am.

If you need me, I will be over here in my happy bubble that is free of ship wars, character-bashing, and show-bashing in general.

Well, it's kind of more an angsty bubble than a happy bubble for me, since it's mostly "OMG you Winchesters and friends all have such horrible things happen to you all the time I want to bring you tea and blankets," but I am all in favor of the non-bashing.

Angst makes me happy. This probably makes me a bad person.

I don't get the vitriolic hatred toward one brother or the other (the bashing is usually reserved for Sam or Dean, I've pretty much never seen it directed at another character). I really don't.

I understand being angry and upset about what's happening on the show. Lying to your brother? Bad. Selling your soul? Bad. Drinking demon blood? Bad. But they're all human choices, flaws that make up the character and make for compelling stories. I wouldn't be interested in a show in which the main characters were perfect, and as much as I enjoy the MANPAIN (seriously, I really do), I actually like there to be real character flaws in my characters.
