Yeah, I did see one sh!tstorm in twitter about something else--but that's what they get for having poorly written scripts. I don't understand how they could go on and trash the entire series when so many fans have been reminding them they are doing a poor job. I suspect it is because of a sudden surge of new viewers who are not as familiar with the established canon. The increase in viewership offsets the fans (of the earlier seasons) who stopped watching the show. Because the overall effect is that the show is getting more viewers, they simply don't give a rat's ass about us who would rather have quality over quantity.

Also, there were fans who supported the retcon by claiming reapers have always been called 'angels of death'. However, an in-depth analysis would say otherwise, as they were very much different from actual angels. I wish I was active then so I could have added more salt to those writers' wounds.

Personally, I agree. I've said it before as well--Carver is turning Supernatural into Being Human. We don't want supernatural beings who try to live a human life, we want human beings trying to adapt to the supernatural world. Season NEIN is the exact opposite of what the show is supposed to be. Carver doesn't know jack about what he is doing, and so does his writers. The season was very poor, incoherent, uninspired and utterly terrible. I wish I could get Balthazar to undo the moment Supernatural was renewed for Season 6.

Editing articles here used to be fun, and although discussions and debates may get heated--they made sense, and we had a coherent pool of knowledge. Now it's just us scratching heads, shrugging about what is canon or not. That alone speaks volumes about involvement of fans who treat story and lore with great importance.

Why the CW isn't considering of axing Carver, I don't know.
