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.

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?

YES THIS. I watched the first 3 episodes week to week and was like NOPE MUST MARATHON, which I really wish I would have started doing around season 6. So, question for you-- how many episodes do you normally stockpile? I've watched episodes 4 - 6, and I'm now trying to decide if I should watch to mid-season or wait until it's all over.

I've just been wondering that myself. I seriously just stopped watching the show somewhere midseason 6 ish (it helped that Fringe was on at the same time) and while I read reaction posts, I didn't actually watch a single episode until a couple of weeks ago, at which point I got bored while working at home and watched all of season 7 on netflix. Then I caught up to season eight....and watched the looney tunes episode live. And realized that I really needed to go back to marathoning.

However, I did not live up to that, as I watched the latest episode live as well.

The hard thing for me is that I enjoy the show so much more, marathon style, but part of what makes the show fun for me is the fandom participation, you know, reading reaction posts on my flist and all that good stuff. I'm thinking maybe the best way to go would be to save up episodes for the mini-hiatuses. IIRC, the show's going to have one in Februaryish, right? So that'd be a handful of episodes, enough to properly marathon, but recent enough to talk about them during a slow time, fandom wise.
