Does ANYONE out there still enjoy this?

It feels like everywhere I turn, all I'm seeing is angry SPN fans. People who hate the storyline. People who hate Amelia. People who hate Benny. People who hate Cas. People who hate the flashbacks/story structure.

People who hate Sam because he's clearly 100% in the wrong and want him to DIAF for being such a terrible brother to Dean.

People who hate Dean because he's clearly 100% in the wrong and want him to DIAF for being such a terrible brother to Sam.

So I figured I'd do a poll, for SCIENCE. What are your feelings, flist? Do you all really hate things as much as it feels like you do? Or are there some of you out there who are still enjoying yourselves?

I'm totally committed to the show and am digging Season Eight. Taking a step back, I want to give Carver the room to tell the story he wants to tell, in the way he wants to tell it. I get bored with the same ol' conventions. This isn't Law and Order, where every episode is basically a stand-alone vehicle, following the same format over and over. I LOVE big plot arcs, I LOVE friction, I LOVE the boys turning back to each other after said friction...

That being said, I'm a teensy bit iffy on the lean towards soap opera melodrama that occurred this last episode, but only a teensy bit because I don't think The Powers That Be will let this dwell for long. I have a feeling everything will curl onto itself, and Sam's arc and Dean's arc will intertwine and it'll be gloriously complicated and dangerous and kick-ass. I like to discuss the show's ups, downs, and what-ifs with the fandom, but I don't like character bashing or dogmatic pissing and moaning. I respect anyone's right to be disenchanted with the show, but don't rain on my parade, okay? If misery loves company, keep company elsewhere.

My two cents.
