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?

Yeah, I hear you! That's all true and it's definitely not a perfect show. I guess 'as it was intended' is poor wording, because what I think I meant was 'as they probably wanted us to see it eg. ignoring all the flaws and just having fun'. If that makes sense? I do see what you mean with the 'smoothing over'. For me it's like the stuff is still there, but it just seems unimportant when there's always another episode to watch.
I don't think we should let them get away with everything, but I go through phases of being a huge nitpicker and being so dissatisfied with everything, and being very zen about it and just sitting back and enjoying. I've found the second one just makes me happier, so it's nice to get that with the binge-watching method. The smoothing-over effects of that really do wonders!

Oh yes, definitely on the zen way as happier and better. Sorry for jumping down your throat; I was coming off reading some comments over at the avclub where someone was all "THIS SHOW IS PERFECT, IT WAS ALL PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING, IF YOU THINK THERE ARE ANY FLAWS, YOU ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO GET IT." and so I was being a little touchy. ;)
