I couldn't agree more: for me, season six came into its own in the last three episodes; talk about extended birthing pains for a new creative director. Season seven feels the closest we've had to seasons one and two in years, I just hope that we don't lose it too soon. I'm cautious because we're only two episodes in.
I'm really glad the writers have showed they're listening because since season four, it really felt as though the Show expanded its universe faster than it could contend with. It bit off more than it could chew and everything suffered for it. I feel as though they're readdressing their foundations: brothers and the family you choose, what family actually means, e.g. supporting each other, instead of just growling all the time.
They're not going to fix Dean and Cas (or Sam and Dean) until Dean comes to the table. I understand he's hurting a lot for what's happened since season four/five and his head is probably still spinning because he doesn't make the time to ACTUALLY get his marbles in the box, but he needs to work on his empathy and see things from the other side, or he'll either lose or destroy the people he has left.
We are tired of Sam and Dean saying they're fine because we know they're not, they also know the other is lying, and it's just frustrating. It's wearying; it's insanity to do the same thing over and over expect a different result. Stop asking the question unless you give them a reason to tell you the truth, Dean. Like, support: forcing Dean to empathise through his experience of Hell now that Sam has his soul back was the smartest thing they've done for him in seasons.
Yes, join our camp of Cthulustiel! It's the only conclusion that makes sense.
If the show ties up Adam's fate (since it debunked my happy myth that Adam had been sent to Heaven when Sam jumped the Cage), I would be beyond the moon; I'd be past the asteroid belt and on my way to the former planetary member of the solar system. I'd love to see Sam hallucinate him, too; I'd like to think that's in the cards for episodes coming up.
