The angels/heven/hell mythology is the only reason SPN came into my radar. That and Mark Shepard as Crowley(?). I put up with S1. At what point do the angels come in and make me forget/ignore all about the damsels in distress?
angels come in at season 4 and everything ~escalates~ from there. actually that's sort of a spoiler for the first episode of s4 which i still maintain has ONE OF THE BEST INTRODUCTIONS OF A NEW CHARACTER EVER it is literally electric. but yeah, it starts off rather cryptically but picks up from there (and oh no now i really want to rewatch season 4 because wow that was a really really really good season).

Excessively bad writing is what happened in season 6 & 7. All I can remember is that I'm still really mad that they created a female "big bad" and it turned out she wasn't the season's "big bad" because Castiel was???
idk if it was the changes in the writing team or what but just. so much so wrong so fast!!! i just. don't even want to think about it and go on pretending like it never happened.

SPN 6.20 “The Man Who Would Be King” was one of the few eps from that season worth watching imo
i think i did watch that one actually. i remember it was really pretty but at that point i was so scarred that even all of their justification and pretty scenery and angel pov episodes could not please me or salvage anything from the damage :||| but then fortunately s8 came along

boooo!! /throws stones!! /glances at own tumblr full of Castiel adoration ok ok you caught me I did it for the vine. (tbh I haven't finished s5 or s8 completely and I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 eps from s6-7, which by all accounts I shouldn't regret.)
lolol sorry cam. the funny thing is that i don't at all dislike the brothers/their story/etc? i just couldn't deal with THREE SEASONS x 20+ episodes of the same angst over and over and over again (and i mean generally, that's still a thing 8 seasons later but all the other stuff that's going on makes it more palatable). castiel is a great addition but i really love all the complexity and the baggage (LOL ENTIRE GARRISONS WORTH) that he brings with him. i felt seasons 5 & 8 were really entertaining/ well put-together for the most part. some of my favourite episodes in this show ever are from those two (in fact, 5x08 "changing channels" and 8x08 "hunteri heroici" are up there as some of my favourite episodes in tv land because of how brilliant and stylistically/experimentally/creatively unique they were, even all the angel lore notwithstanding).
