I won't be posting SPN ep reviews for the foreseeable future, not because I particularly disliked the episodes - in fact, I did really like them - but because currently I KNOW that if I engaged in posting and reading discussion/reviewing/meta, it would spoil my enjoyment of the show.

I know what the current sentiment is and whatever, I will say one short thing: I have a favourite character on the show (it's not hard to make out who by reading my lj) and I'm perfectly FINE with him right now so if you're not, don't tell me, mkay? By which I mean, don't tell me here, I know perfectly well how to skip posts in other ljs.

And this is not a thing about me not being able to handle criticism of a fictional character - I have liked both the clear favourites and the hated-by-all-but-three-people characters in shows, so, really my like/dislike doesn't hinge on majority vote - I just don't want to right now.

Totally have the near-end-of-vacation-blues atm and I really need fandom to be pure fun right now so possibly reading some fic, possible even writing some fic and ignoring everything else. :-D

Aw, I envy you so much right now :-) I've been missing SPN recently--particularly 'cause Dean has been looking really fine on the photos :D--but there is now way I can watch it as Sam's still on the show :-/ And I don't care if he's being written differently now or not, that character has been ruined beyond redemption for me. But oh, I miss Dean.

That's where I'm living with it. I have counter-arguments and opinions in my head and things but not seeing the point -- people are watching the show they're watching. I will watch the one I'm watching.

Also I was upset with show for a while and am enjoying having it clicking for me again--I love all these characters, so much. I want to enjoy while I'm enjoying. More glee, less arguing!

Haven't seen the latest ep yet, so don't spoil me, BUT - I am perfectly fine with the character you mean right now, too. :-) (Not so fine with some others...)

It's even rather surprising to me that the reigning force of opinion, from what you mention, seems to differ. But yeah, I've been staying away from most SPN discussions for ages now, and there are reasons for that; some interpretations just make me GRR.

Pfff, i don't know what this is all about. I love Dean and i perfectly ok with his current situation and decisions he has to make. I used to be upset about fandom reactions but right now i learnt to laugh at them. I'm a little upset about the way they write Cas but i hope/think i'll be ok with it too. I may hate some spoilers but Dean? No way. He didn't do anything bad so far that i could dislike him.

I love both Sam and Dean right now equally because I understand both their standpoints. It's a nice mirror image to S1, their parts basically just the opposite with Sam going all "I can't do this without you" and Dean determined to go his own way.

But I understand where you're coming from. I stopped reading some of my friends reviews - if I read one more review about how whiny Dean is, there will be some de-friending happening! And when I broke my own promise and posted to a comm - never again.

I like my tiny happy space of LJ where SPN is all cool and depressing and Dean's broken and Sam's worried and Castiel is drunk and I love them all *squishes them*

I know the feeling. For me it's mainly that I really have fun watching the eps and then I come here (well, to LJ in general, not YOUR entries) and everyone seems to be writing about how bad they are. For reasons I can even comprehend most of the time, but you said it, ignorance is bliss.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

I think this is a pretty smart move. I self-filter right now that if I read a supremely negative reaction I just stop reading it. My sis and I have been re-watching from Season 1 and it is incredible the parallels, continuity, etc that we are seeing watching over and so I still see the show as the show I fell in love with in the first place not something that has fallen off the wagon so far that I don't recognize (which is what some folks seem to be saying sometimes).

We're pretty amazed at how everything is flowing pretty well actually. I mean of course it is not perfect but the good is pretty darn awesome. :-)

I'm not responding to any of it either. I HATE when fandom gets like that. So good on you for taking a stand, hon. ::high-fives you::
