This show has evolved from being just the Sam & Dean show, and that's not a bad thing. Good stories progress, not stagnate.
Exactly! Everytime I hear someone say that the show should go back to the way it was in season 1, I want to scream. You can't go back. Characters develop, and change. People other than the main characters come in and have an impact. You can't just go back to the way things were years ago without destroying every bit of character and story development you've achieved.

About the Balthazar situation: Of course the absent wings are just a small things, and there are definitely issues here that are way more important. It's just something that, for some reason I don't quite understand myself, is incredibly important to me personally, and that's why I keep bringing it up.
But yes, the entire issue of Castiel killing Balthazar just like that bothers me too. No matter from which angle I look at it, I can't get it to make sense, not the way it was done on the show.

But despite everything, this show still has all this potential, and it still has great writing and storytelling in between the stuff that doesn't make sense. And I just keep hoping that they will turn this around and get back, not to the way things were in earlier seasons, but to the quality of the stories, character development, and the overall mythology.
