Why do I have this feeling...

That the channel switchup, etc. are going to muck up the dynamic of Supernatural and that I should really get this story finished before the season starts and kills my muse?

I really hate being such a cynic. I've seen too many PTBs that have taken a good thing and given it a swirly.

It was a combination of the Tailies becoming the focus when their were much better characters I wanted to know more about, plus TPTB not seeming to know where to go with the story. They would keep adding in "twists" but twists only take you so far. They also started out hinting there might be something supernatural, which, besides Dominic Monaghan being in it, was the main reason I gave it a shot.

I'm really starting to like the idea of limited series, in which we get a beginning, middle and end, without trying to drag it out for multiple seasons. Perhaps they could have another season, but with a different plotline to explore instead of beating a dead horse.

Twists will only get you so far. It felt, honestly, like they were fanfic writers who tossed in whatever sounded good just because they wanted a reaction. Even if it made no sense and the story itself lost coherence.

Could be interesting, but I'm not sure how willing people in the US are to let go of things.

They were putting in twists for the sake of twists in order to string viewers along. At this point, I don't think there's any way for there to be a coherent storyline.

I think we're getting used to the idea, with many cable shows only having 13 eps in a season. What I'm thinking is having a season planned out before it airs, and if it does well you can plan out another season. But the major plots each season should be resolved and not dragged on for years.
