Re: Extended TV Guide spoilers
(Anonymous) 2012-07-10 06:43 am (UTC)(link)Well I guess my response to that would be if this were a movie or a book I would expect it to be just about wrapping up. Story told, brothers finally coming back to each other, on the same side, and maybe on the path to healing.
On the flip side, imagine if Pride and Prejudice were a tv show that went on after the resolution and Elizabeth and Darcy are just hanging out, being married, happy but without tension. Their arc finished by the time the book was over. It wouldn't be very exciting, unless some other supporting character came in and caused mayhem and/or conflict and/or something interesting.
So I don't think there's anything wrong with where Sam and Dean are right now - it's just the perils of a tv show going on indefinitely.
In S1-3, a lot of the interesting development to me didn't come so much from the light banter as it came from their underlying issues with each other, their dad, the hunting lifestyle, self worth, etc. And now that it's been dealt with, what's left is occasional light banter and an external force causing the central plot obstacle. So to tie their relationship to the plot again, we'd need relevant, substantial supporting characters. Otherwise we're left with Elizabeth and Darcy (I can't for the life of me think of his first name) hanging out, being married and kind of dull.
