I AM NOT GOING TO READ ANY MORE SPOILERS. SOMEONE HOLD ME TO THIS, GOOD LORD. XP But first, my reaction to Comic Con:
There is some weird shit goin' down this season. XP
Which is, I think, the best possible place to be. I haven't read ALL the spoilers, and I certainly haven't been reading closely, but Supernatural is at its best when it's being crazy and doing things where fandom's base reaction is, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU... [e.g., include angels in the mythology]. I have no specific hopes and no reservations I am particularly attached to, but (like Sera before them, tbh! haters gonna hate) both Edlund and Carver have said general writerly/scope things that make me very trusting.
I'm down for whatever you've got cooking, Show. I don't care what it is, I don't care what angle you're aiming for. You just do your thing. And in the meantime, how 'bout we kill some evil sons of bitches and we raise a little hell? ;)

That about summarizes the way I've been feeling about Season 8 :)

on 2012-07-16 06:48 pm (UTC)This. Is like my gospel for my expectations regarding show! I wish I could've put it like that myself. It's what I want to tell everyone who's like OMG they better do this! or OMG if they do that I'm going to stop watching! or even I hope this or that is/isn't going to happen!
Cause they have proved over and over again that they do know best. They have the absolute awesomest ideas. And even if there was the odd storyline that I didn't enjoy all that much, all things considered it was always for the best.
And even after seven seasons they've managed to come up with a finale that was so unexpected and brilliant that it left me gaping at the screen for a ridiculous amount of time.
And for every character we lose they manage to come up with another insanely original and adorable (or hateworthy) character.
So I really hope they keep this up and never ever bow down before fandom or "silent" majorities.
Oh, and spoilers! I hate them with a vengeance! But it's really bloody hard to be on the internet at all and stay unspoiled. You just innocently open a mail or a webpage and BAM! You're spoiled. But so far I think I've managed quite well. Actually I kind of find You Tube worst where that is concerned. And - funnily enough - fanfiction.net. Go figure! :)

on 2012-07-16 11:57 pm (UTC)As for Show, okay. I have my reservations, I guess--like, how are they going to do X? How can they possibly justify Y? But you know? As long as I can see their intent, and know that they're doing something THEY trust in, I will give them that no matter how strange it might initially appear to me. I think that's the healthiest relationship we can have with a series! Because it fills me with nothing but love and balloons. <333

on 2012-07-16 08:15 pm (UTC)Mostly I'd like to quit thinking about it because it's not even *July* yet and the show doesn't come back until October. Ouch.

on 2012-07-17 12:01 am (UTC)If I were a writer on the show, yeah, I'd be pretty concerned right now. But these sorts of questions aren't things that I need to deal with; it's not our turn yet. Our part in S8 comes later. ;)

Lucky for us, it IS indeed July~ :P I'm not sure how we got here so quickly, tbh, but here we are. I value Show hiatuses quite a bit, so I'm kinda happy we have until October. Trying to have thoughts, participate in fandom, AND watch new material every week is too stressful! XDD

on 2012-07-17 12:07 am (UTC)It's still a long way off though. Anyway. *hides*
I tend to think that there's a certain amount of misdirection that goes on in the spoilers--they may technically be speaking the truth, but I'm sure it'll pan out differently than the way it's described makes it seem. So yeah, there's only so much thought you can put into it, really. In the end, you just have to wait and see how things work out.

on 2012-07-17 12:14 am (UTC)I'm not sure if the CW knows how spoilers are supposed to work, but in my experience the actual product has always been a lot better than the spoilers would have it seem. XP

on 2012-07-17 12:03 am (UTC)As long as I feel like the writers are working together, and confident about their direction and what they want to play with, then I'm thrilled and happy and ready to follow them unto eternity. Seriously, I'm just riding on this epic "trust" high right now. And this is what fandom should feel like. :)

on 2012-07-17 02:31 am (UTC)From their more general statements, it sounds to me like they have some vision, and some general foundations--and from there, I don't know, it's their story tbh the less it aligns with anything anyone in fandom wants, the more trusting I am that they are confident about the shenanigans they aim to pull. AFTER MUCH SOUL-SEARCHING AND WHATEVER, this is the kind of trust I want to have in myself, and in any writer, so I figure I would be remiss to exclude them from my practice.
I'm working on re-framing my twisted relationship with this show! (As I am with all my various twisted relationships, most of them with actual people; but I figure since Show is such a big part of my life WHY NOT ADD IT IN. XD) So far it's made me weirdly, excessively happy. :D All love all the time. I want to keep this feeling foreverrrrrr.

on 2012-07-17 02:58 am (UTC)THIS. Me too, the past few seasons more than currently. I wouldn't say I'm where you are, but I am in fact looooving this hiatus, anyway. There are so many possibilities, spoilers or not. We don't know what's going to happen, really, and I am finding myself enjoying that.
And I love this post too. It makes me happyyy. ;D
