Supernatural Season 5 - Losing Interest Fast

Nidgit · 11-30-2009, 05:47 PM

We just started season 5 of Supernatural here in Oz, and I'm really losing interest in this show. I used to absolutely love it, especially the earlier seasons where they would run into a different kind of nasty every week. Now I'm struggling to maintain any interest with this ongoing Sam & his demon powers, Lilith and the final seal, angels V demons, blah, blah, blah.

I want a return to the good old days, when the boys kicked some different monster @ss every week !!

I don't mind the ongoing demon vs angel armageddon storyline but I do enjoy the non related self contained episodes better.

Is it repeats until then? Dang, that sucks.

I have been enjoying this season, I kinda like how it has gotten critical for the brothers to work together.

I've been really enjoying this season. It's the only show I watch on the CW. I do miss how terrifying the angels were supposed to be in the beginning of last season, but they've done a good job in building Lucifer up as the ultimate villain.

Personally I find the episodes that aren't dealing with the core armageddon storyline to be the weakest ones, and the whole armageddon plotline has been building since season one, and has always been where the show was going, as it was always mapped out as being a five season show with a solid throughline. If you ask me the show has gotten better and stronger every season, precisely because of how much story and mythology they have built up by this point. Though I do think they have had maybe a couple too many comedic episodes too close together this year, even if they have been entertaining.

Understand the plot-line has been there and building from the get go, but I'm just finding it really difficult to stay interested. For me, one of the greatest things about this show was that each episode introduced us to a different creature & it's back story. I was always excited to see what beastie they came up against next. All of the angels & demons episodes are all just too samey for me . . . how many hot chicks with black eyes will they do battle with?

Having said all of that, I have one other quick question that just occured to me, and is something my wife and I have always wondered about. Why is it, that in every hotel room the brothers stay in, there is one of those small floor to ceiling room partitions. They were always in different positions and with different patterns / structure, but they were always there. Was it an in joke of some kind, or did their set designer just have thing for them ?

I've liked this season so far. According to the creator the series is getting more popular as years go on a opposed to getting less popular which is weird for a series.

Everyone remember it started back up again last night?
