In that 5 seconds we got of him at the end of 7x01, he was so amazing and scary and funny. Imagine how awesome it would've been to have Misha Collins running wild like Heath Ledger's Joker for half a season.
Exactly -- and they would have FINALLY had an idea of how to use MC for an entire season, which has apparently been beyond them since S4. I can only hope this decision is about money and not a complete lack of sense.
Just, what a waste of time.
Yeah, pretty much. It's a pity we couldn't have gotten more RoboSam in exchange because at least THAT was doing something different with the character and just as a concept it would have been interesting to explore what being soulless means in the SPNverse.
And just yes about forgetting what these characters were ever about.
Plus 100 times yes to your first suggestion about S8. But it will never happen. Nor, I suspect, will they do something with Dean & Cas which WOULD have more to develop in another team's hands. For whatever reason they don't seem to want Misha around for more than a few episodes a season.
Though I was expecting them to end up in Purgatory this season, and to find John and Mary in it, I'd hope they would do something useful with the idea next season. Instead, I suspect it's Bobby that Dean will find there.
