“If I read you right, MR Reed, Kripke’s made Dean the villain of the piece…”

If you are meaning my comment about having reservations about how Dean is being dropped into the mytharc, then the best I can tell you is that I always have major reservations about ‘time travel episodes’ as means for characters to see what is going on and how it affects them.

What do you mean, “Kripke screwed us over again?” Kripke isn’t out to “screw” the Dean fans. He’s not trying to lure anyone into a false sense of security. He’s not out to pit one group of fans against the other. He’s writing a story. I, for one, appreciate that it isn’t “rinse, lather, repeat,” monster of the week with Dean and Sam each apportioned exactly 50 percent of the script each week. Fans have been moaning forever for Dean to be involved in the mytharc. Now he is. Hush up.

The episode sounds *great.* Is it emotional? Is it gut wrenching? Are the performances great? Are there twists, turns, and reveals that will break my heart? I enjoy being treated like an adult by the writers. Bring it on, Supernatural writers! Bring it on!

I guess this is it… the moment of truth. If I read you right, MR Reed, Kripke’s made Dean the villain of the piece… the architect of Sam’s targeting, the reason for his family’s misery. And if that is truly the case, then he’s betrayed every episode of this series, everything about the character, and all the promise that this season showed. I was finally ready to love Supernatural again, after an extremely disappointing third season. The first two episodes were astonishingly good.

But if Kripke has pinned all of Sam’s troubles on Dean, who has only ever sought to care for this family and make sure they were safe and happy at his own great expense, then it’ll just be too painful to care about these characters anymore. I thought we were finally getting some HOPE on this show. Torturing your leads is fine, to a point. But there comes a time when it’s just too much, it’s just too horrible, and I didn’t come into this show because I wanted to watch the primetime ghostbusting equivalent of a snuff film.

I’m hoping I read you wrong, and that this isn’t what he’s done. Because if it is, my three-year love affair with Supernatural is finished.

Kripke screwed us over didn’t he? Be honest, when it comes to Dean and mytharc he screwed us over right? You know he had me for two episodes, I really thought I could trust him again. I’ve been more pleased and excited for this season than any since the first in all honesty. As for rumblings, there are plenty of people who have been absolutely thrilled with these first 2 episodes and haven’t felt there was a lacking of anything. That’s going to change with Dean getting screwed over in the mytharc though after Kripke acting like it meant something. I mean he got pulled out of Hell, isn’t that enough to put him in the mytharc, which involves Demons? Did they really need to once again pull a fast one on his character just to shove Sam front and center of the entire known universe again?
