Hi! Hope you don't mind me popping over from the newsletter but I really liked your comments
I'm with you. The characters have hit a pot hole that they can't get out of. Dean was miserable in S5 and I felt really tied into it--that Dean was going to say yes to Michael or he was going to resist. The episode where he almost says yes but instead kills Zachariah and gets Sam (but not Adam :( ) out of the heaven room was one of the best of the whole series.
Now they have Dean on a downward spiral...but where is it going? I keep expecting Dean to have a total psychological break, because that's where they seem to indicate things are going. But so far, it's just more of the same every week. Dean puts another foot in front of the other with everyone telling him what a pussy he is.
And I hadn't placed my finger on it--but you're absolutely right. The leviathin thing seems like a far off distance. Even in the old filler episodes, Sam or Dean would say something like "Well, we're doing X, but why aren't we off chasing Lucifer/Yellow eyes/etc."
Also, I keep expecting Castiel to come back because you'd think a character with that much development would get a better send off than an explosion of black ooze and a left over trench coat.
So I'm with you, but I feel like I've been invested for so long, might as well see where things are going. However, I am no longer emotionally invested, which makes me sad.
