I think they want to hang on to the cult fans and shippers yet at the same time they want a more mainstream audience. So they're outright lying-- feeding the shippers platitudes that they never intend to deliver on, knowing that the hardcore fans will hang on and keep watching out of hope and desperation, all the while they're taking the story in the completely opposite direction: mainstream romance and killing the co-dependant relationship. It's the only explanation I can see for the sheer magnitude of obliviousness to what actually happened in season 6 that we've gotten from Singer's interviews lately and now this Comic Con crap. It's intentional.

Well SPN has always been a cult show, they'd do well to keep that in mind. It's not going to be HUGE now when it's at its lowest.

that's exactly why I'm leaving the show. Maybe not fandom, since I love seasons 1-5, but who the hell cares for this mess or new seasons?

But last year Grimm was a sorta-hit and Once Upon a Time was a smash hit and let's not even mention how huge Game of Thrones is. The viewing landscape has changed from seven years ago when the show started and now it's much more accepting of fantasy and sci-fi. (See Revolution, American Horror Story, Superhero movies, etc.) They probably think they can get out of the "cult show" ghetto, especially with Arrow as their lead.

Yeah, I guess that's what they believe. I think they're wrong. We'll see.
Those are new shows, while SPN is now 7 years old.

Yeah, there's no way a show in its eighth year is gonna bank on those trends and suddenly become a big thing, especially with the reviews and general reputation the past few seasons have gotten. SPN was actually lucky to debut in a year that was kind to horror/fantasy/sci-fi (riding off the coattails of LOST's success), and it's the only one from around that time still even on air (though that has more to do with its network than its success).

I also think Revolution is gonna flop something fierce, and the new Beauty and the Beast (despite OUAT's success), though Arrow might do well as superheroes are hot right now.
