Hopes for S6

[feliciakw]

I've been thinking about this for a few days, and Geo and I just talked about what he thought of the season (story) finale. He says he's very interested in how they're going to get themselves out of the corner they've painted themselves into (which is a completely different story). But here's what I'd like to see next season:

The past five seasons have been Sam's story. It's always been Sam's story, even when Jensen came in and was more awesome and charismatic than I think anyone expected. The conflict between Good (capital G) and Evil (capital E) has always centered around Sam. That story is over now.

What I'd like to see next season is a storyline that centers around Dean. That might include Lisa and Ben in some way. And it might well have to be a much shorter story (if they don't get picked up for S7 or the guys don't want to renew their contracts). I also know that might sound like kind of a selfish request, because Dean was admittedly the better fleshed out of the two characters. We knew more about Dean and his inner workings and saw more of his inner struggles, I think, than we saw of Sam. But as I said, the story, the mytharc, has always been Sam's. I think it could be interesting if we had something that was Dean's.

Dean was Kripke's Westley Crusher.

I'm not sure I understand what people mean by this. I've heard that Wesley was Roddenberry's avatar in the show, and Dean certainly wasn't representative of Kripke.

I didn't realize Bruce had ever directed for Xena. Or if I did, it's buried so far back in my memory that I don't know I knew. Or something.

Not at all surprised about the fans. Heh. I'm sure Evil Dead has some weird ones.
