    I'd really care about the Sam and Dean relationship if it wasn't the same story (____ is keeping a secret, will ____ forgive him?) every season. Jensen looks as enthused as I am.


    Thanks for the interview. I hope that Dean will have more to do than spoilers suggest.

    Jensen rarely talks about his own character's storyline. Which is very telling in my opinion. It's my hope that Dean has plenty to do storyline wise this season. Only time will tell.

    I am hoping Dean has something to do. I don't ask for much. I even enjoyed most of last season, which I know many Dean fans did not. I just don't want to see any more of Dean destroying himself and feeling guilty and ashamed, because it's supposed to be wonderful if he hates himself for the sake of Sam. That's not good for Dean, not good for Sam, it's not good for me as a viewer, and I don't believe it's good for the show.


    I actually do care about Dean and Sam as brothers, I enjoy watching Jared and Jensen together. I always have. I just want better writing.


    If Dean has something else to do I hope we will hear about it.

    I hear you. I liked parts of the first half of season 8, the second half was a different story. I just want the writers to allow Dean to deal with his issues for once. They never let him deal. It's not healthy for the character, and frankly it's become old.


    Better writing and more story equality for both characters is pretty much what I want the most.

    They just bring up trauma for the sake of angst and then it's forgotten. I struggle to care about this type of scene now because it never goes anywhere.


    If they show the characters being happy, even just for one or two episodes, and feeling like they're doing something good, it would go a long way to making these stories more palatable.

    I agree. Better writing (and it surely can't get worse than S8, can it?) Story equality for the leads and less emphasis on stories about support characters and one-offs.
    I liked what little of Purgatory there was in S8, and I liked Dean the ultimate badass hunter during the first part of S8. Beyond that, it was the worst season of SPN and that was driven by atrocious writing and total lack of cohesiveness to tell a solid story. Dean the little homemaker didn't do a thing for me. Let's hope the writers are talking to each other this season and give the appearance that they are telling one story, not just a bunch of individual episodes written for their own pleasure.

    I liked parts of season 8 because I enjoyed seeing Dean having some fun and his starting to feel not everything his fault. Apparently I was the only one who enjoyed that, since it's all gone now. My mistake.

    Amen to that. I love it when the brothers are a united front. Let's hope they keep it that way.

    I took it to mean that they're going to have the brothers be the focus of the show with the other characters revolving around them. The brothers as a team, as it should be. Secondary characters should function in this show as plot devices to further the story along, not serve as a foil to separate the brothers unnecessarily as we've seen in the past. They'll still have friends and allies, but their priorities lie with one another. That's the show that many of us fell in love with and are happy to see things heading back in that direction. Not everyone is going to agree about this. I understand that. But for brothers fans, this is good news.

    Jensen never gives anything away, his interviews are a complete waste of time if he didn;t change his clothes you'd think it was the same interview each time. Season 9 sounds good but thank god for Jared and the writers who still bother to try and sell it because this guy seems over it

    Jared has said plenty about season 9. He's said it starts with the best 5 episodes ever written. Jensen on the other hand just keeps saying the show is about two brothers in a car :/ Which would be fine except we know already season 9 is an ensemble cast and is based in the bunker so, it sounds like Jensen is very much not on board.

    The show I fell in love with was a show that had Sam and Dean as close brothers, but they also had strong attachments to people like Ellen, Jo, Ash, Bobby, etc. Now, Dean and Sam are often lying to each other and full of tension, but also aren't allowed to have relationships with anyone else either. These people are mostly just fodder and we get to hear about how one of them being killed is a sign of how much Dean cares about Sam. Ellen and Bobby were never simply treated as "plot devices." The writing had respect for them, even though they didn't appear all that often (Bobby started appearing more often later on).


    If they want it to be that way then why are recurring characters on the show in the first place? Why not just go back to season 7 where it was mostly just Sam and Dean? If people like Cas and Charlie and Kevin are "plot devices", then are they saying they just don't want fans to give a hoot about Dean's relationship or Sam's relationship with any of these people? Are they just there to be fodder for the latest "I've Got a Secret" episode between Sam and Dean?

    What we've heard of his story sounds like it is one of his worst stories ever (in my opinion). If he isn't thrilled in selling it I'm not shocked.

  22. Peter J43 October 2013 at 16:35

    The ensemble cast stuff sounds like lip service to me. If he isn't selling that when nothing from the spoilers suggests it's true, I appreciate his honesty.

    Jensen never gives anything away because he doesn't have anything to give away that has to do with his character. Unlike Jared, Misha, and Mark who can give us little teasers about their upcoming storylines. In this instance, the writers are at fault. Maybe they should consider writing for Dean as an individual character for once as opposed to just being a brother to Sam, or a friend to Castiel. Last year before season 8, Jensen was so excited about his Purgatory storyline, and was able to give us little teasers about his character. To this day he still talks about that storyline and how he would've liked that arc to last longer than it did. Hmm...I wonder why that is?

    Sam isn't allowed to have relationships with anybody else. Dean has relationships with every Garth, Ben, and Charlie that comes down the pike. The guests "say" they have relationships with Sam, but until I see it, I don't believe it.

    The boys have been lying to each other since season 1 (Sam's visions then Dad's last words to Dean, Dean's deal, etc). What is missing is the light hearted fun moments that they used to have.

    Killing off recurring characters is the only way the show has to prove the situation is serious. If they killed Sam and/or Dean, we "know" they will be back. If they kill a one-time guest... so what? They do that nearly every week.

  25. Peter J44 October 2013 at 09:36

    Killing off recurring characters stopped being serious years ago. Look at Sarah's death. That should have been horrible, but she was forgotten by the closing credits. Crowley, who killed her and gloated about it, is still around, and will be painted as some sort of sympathetic figure this season, because now he has emotions. Then you have Meg, who'd been around since season 1. Killed off for no apparent reason. Not mentioned again. I know Rachel Miner has MS but they could have had Meg leave in another way.


    Dean's relationships with other characters are meaningless. Jensen essentially confines them all to the non-Sammy drawer in that interview. They actually had Dean talk about killing Benny to score some type of brotherly bond point in the finale. They don't care about any relationship on the show beyond Dean and Sam. It makes all their talk about bringing in new characters seem like a shell game to try to get people interested in the show again after seasons 6 and 7 alienated and angered many longtime fans. I feel like any time I spent investing in any relationship Sam or Dean had was pointless. And I can't even invest in Sam and Dean, because it's always the same story. No happiness, no enjoyment, no honesty. Nothing.

    Jensen rarely talks about Dean because he never has anything to do expect worry about Sammy, cook for Sammy, baby Sammy, feel guilty because he has not (yet) sacrificed all of himself for Sammy.

    Wow, more of the brothers only having each other and keeping secrets! What an unexpected plot twist!
    If that's what this season is going to be like, I think many people are just going to walk away, not casual viewers, mind you, but passionate fans who expected more. At this point the brothers' relationship is just boring and contrite, we've been seeing this for 8 years and it has not aged well. It's not even a good relationship anymore, they keep saying they love each other, but they never show it and I sure as hell don't feel it. They're miserable when they're alone together. At this point I'm only watching (if I'll watch at all) for the secondary characters, and it's the show's own fault.

    I am just wondering why you waste 40 minutes on a show you don't enjoy? I did not love season 6 & 7 but was not alienated or angered until season 8 when Carver threw canon out the window. If I find as much wrong with a series as you have SPN I stop watching..like Bones, Rizzoli & Isles, Memphis Beat and many others.

    LOL I'll sell my right nipple if Jared's line about "the best episodes ever" is true. please.

  30. Peter J44 October 2013 at 18:40

    I have never watched those shows so I'm not sure why I would start just because they are not SPN?


    "Canon" stopped meaning anything on this show sometime in season 4 or 5. I don't think it affects a show's quality.


    I think I had a lot more positive comments on the show here last season than many other people did. It's easy to say, "Just stop watching." You were upset with the show last season, yet you kept on. If someone had told you to just quit, would you have done so?


    When all of the promotional material is focused on telling us again and again that Dean has no purpose in life beyond Sam, and Sam is just some guy that something happens to, and Cas is on his own and hey, he's going to get laid, so good for him, are you surprised if some of us don't have a positive reaction?


    Even if I loved the brother relationship and watched for the brother relationship, I would be annoyed, because this is no brotherly bond. Sam is once again a helpless victim whose life is being run by Dean, Dean essentially saying this is not about any love between them, but about duty and lack of self worth (saying he is absolutely nothing without Sam - that's an awful thing to say to another person because it makes them feel ashamed and guilty, as Sam has indicated before).

    Pretty much. The publicity is so heavily focused on one thing that I assume they almost want people to stop watching.

  32. browniegirl274 October 2013 at 18:54

    I'm still watching for Dean. However, depending on how things turn out for Dean in the story arc department, this might be my last season. Unfortunately, the secondary characters aren't interesting enough to keep me watching.

  33. Alex4 October 2013 at 20:07

    Watching (maybe) for Cas, Kevin, Charlie, and that's it I guess. Not many people left. I'm waiting for the writers to ruin Cas, then there'll be nothing left for me.

    You've also said the show ruined canon. Yet you kept watching. We seem to have about the same level of complaints.

    No still the same issue..ruining canon made Sam NOT look for Dean..He always looked.

    Haha! Right?!?!?
    Jared is always excited. That doesn't always translate into the actual episode being great or the "best ever" or whatever!
