I saw your positive reviews and they gave me hope! I saw a lot of those angry responses, too (I read the viewing party post reactions, which were pretty positive until the end, when it was like, "I hate you, show"), but I was also prepared for what pissed them off, and that might have helped, only ... it's like a fic I would write! You knew as soon as Cas was wandering around talking about how much he liked it there that it HAD to be a prelude to his not getting to stay, because, POOR CAS!!!!
I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE WRITERS' ROOM, EITHER. Here's my best guess: a lot of times, other writers help out uncredited, or so I've been given to believe, and these guys REALLY ARE good at the character stuff--like, better than anyone else on the staff. (?!) So maybe someone else did the plotting and they wrote the dialogue? Or maybe in the writers' room, they outlined the plot for them so they just had to follow it exactly? Whatever it was, you know ... I can't believe I'm sitting here going, "Wow, those writers TOTALLY wrote the best episode of the season so far!," but ... I am.
Do tell how S8 hated you, my friend, because I feel like it hated me, too, but I'm having a hard time putting it into words.
