Good to know that Jensen also didn't like season 6. To me it was horrible becasue of Dean's degradation and I associate it with Lisa/Ben. Here is what Jensen said at the ChiCon:
Fan: What’s your favorite season of Supernatural?
Jensen: I know my least favorite – last season. And that would be personal issues with workload and storyline and the character. In the beginning of last season I guess I felt a little lost. Sam was soulless, so I didn’t have my partner in crime. But my character wasn’t actually progressing, it was just all about the progression of Sam, so selfishly I was like, come on, I understand it’s Sam’s storyline, but it was Dean-centric, so that was kind of throwing me off. We got through it and Jared did a great job, but I was glad to be done with that storyline. As far as my favorite, I still love Season One, just because of the formula – it was simple, it was tight, we were still getting to know each other, the characters were starting to develop and I liked the fun nuances between the brothers. And I liked that simple formula – the monster of the week episodes. I understand that the show needs the mythology and I applaud Kripke for how he did that but I do like the monster of the week episodes. source
Later Jensen talks about the writing:
Fan: Is there ever a time when you read a script and you say to your character, “Dean! What are you thinking?”
Jensen: All the time. Seriously. Usually just certain lines, because we get new writers. I know that every year they have to take at least one outside submission, so basically someone who has never written for the show. They understand the show because their script got picked, and it’s a good script, but it’s just that sometimes the dialog isn’t really true to character. So I’ll either sit down and rewrite the lines to tailor it to Dean or just call Sera or Bob and say “Hey, this particular scene doesn’t sound like Dean at all. That’s happened maybe twice this year. There’s a scene between Jared and I, Sam and Dean, in fact I think it’s the next episode, it’s the end scene. We have like a falling out, an argument. And I kid you not, the scene was like straight out of a romantic comedy. It was like a break-up between a woman and a man. Right out of a romantic comedy. source
Yeah, I wish JA changed the script of M3TR, that was a total mess. Dean not being able to talk to Lisa and tell her to leave him alone, Dean not being able to tell the annoying brat that his family are Sam and Bobby... I mean: what the fuck?
Oh, I really wish JA changed the script of Let it Bleed... Dean leaving Sam in coma and going to save the slut and her spawn? And again not being able to tell her off? And crying at the end? Wuss! Wuss! Wuss!
I was watching Supernatural for Dean... but since Dean is gone (and judging by the comments on the boards he is gone in S7 as well) I decided not to spend my time on watching SN. Not until Dean comes back. Besides I fear that the writers will do something incerdibly stupid again. They destroyed five years of hard work just by forcing upon us Lisa and Ben! A single line, a flashback, a memory... anything might ruin S7 so I'm not going to risk. I'll wait until the season (or show) is over and maybe then I'll watch.
Happy Samhain everyone.
