<\/a><\/p>\n\nI just saw a promo on the CW’s Twitter feed showing Castiel front and center, with Sam and Dean behind him. Which pretty much encapsulates my issues with what’s been going on. Not just with Castiel, who has been an irrelevant three-bean-surprise annoyance in the show for years now, but with Sam and Dean presented as background support to other narratives, as opposed to their narratives driving the show – which, up until Season 12, they did. I saw some person on Twitter respond to a similar comment with “Go watch Season 1 through 3 then. The show has moved on without you.” This is such a mis-reading of … the whole entire show? of Season 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 … the main narrative was Sam in trouble\/Dean trying to find solution, or Dean in trouble\/Sam trying to find solution. That this is a controversial opinion is one of the reasons why my intersection with fandom has mainly been here, on this site, with you fine people. I haven’t seen the finale yet, though. If I were JA and JP, I’d look at that promo and think, “Man, it’s sad that this will be ending, but it’s probably best we’re getting out of this thing now if that’s how they’re presenting us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
