Thoughts about SPN S8 (spoilers for 8x12)
Random thought about S8 and 8x12...
One of the things I hated about S6 was the sheer *waste* of the potential of the Campbell family. I had been so excited to learn of Sam & Dean's family background. All the potential history and stories and EVERYTHING!
And then... NOTHING. All douchebags that get killed within half a season with no real character development. No more Campbells. :(
And now, we get the opportunity with the Winchester side of the family! \O/
This afternoon I remembered back to the summer hiatus and early S8 interviews where Jared was referring to something about S8 exploring what had been a "missed opportunity" (or something like that.) As S8 progressed, I assumed Jared was referring to the Sam having a life outside of hunting "opportunity." Now I'm thinking that was a red herring. And the true missed opportunity was what was squandered with the Campbell family and now can be explored with the Winchesters.
So excited about the rest of the season. Hoping my excitement continues.
