and still SPN was written like freaking Augsburger Puppenkiste, while PoI was written like a multimillion dollar movie.
Take that back, that is an insult to the Augsburger Puppenkiste. :-p
But I know what you mean. And, like I said, I don't expect everything to be as well-written as the PoI scenario but even smaller, much cheaper shows with mediocre writing at best manage to bring energy and suspense to those scenes.
The thing is, SPN was never good at those scenes, but they saved themselves through their character interaction, at least somewhat. But if that turns meaningless, too, there's nothing left.
That's very true. They have systematically written their one good area into the ground in the last few years. Which I believe was due to a mixture of incompetence and not taking any risks. Just because something worked well for character(s) in a Season 1 and 2 doesn't mean it will continue to do so, repeated ad nauseum and made ever more prominent five years later.
Fringe hurt me in the beginning but at least they had guts to so some place.
I'm hoping Carver manages to make at least one thing work, plot or characters, ideally both.
