I agree, RaghavD, this critique was right-on (even better than NaiflidG and mine). Personally, I never even cared about that shipping stuff, but even if the problem there did not exist (I'm not saying it doesn't), the episodes still had major problems with several aspects as well. And there's all the other meta-stuff about the show killing all persons of color, and being misogynist and all that.

I'm done following this show with blind faith. Same with the anon above, Eve and the strong second-half of Season 8 were what helped me go through Gamble's and Carver's Eras. However, what they did with the midseason finale of Season 9 was just utterly disrespectful of our established lore. I understand that lore has to evolve, but you have to do it in a sensible way. I was afraid that dumb stuff like this would happen if they continue to stick to angels and demons. Currently, I'm now thinking of just totally rejecting and dropping everything that happened after Swan Song as canon.

I don't know what it would take for the staff to respond to us via twitter--because I've honestly tried. I think they'll try to play the complaints down and even try to pander on the fans once the second half starts (like giving Castiel his trench coat back--big deal, at this point, who cares?).
