It’s been a 6 month slog but Supernatural finally finished. However, I’m disappointed. For starters, the show was mostly made up of shallow episodes. The saving grace was the season-long plot lines that tied the whole thing together.
It’s ironic that I recently saw a documentary on how the TV series is replacing movies. It mentioned how much of a cash cow a good show can be. Milking the cash cow is why most shows go bad before they stop. As far as I’m concerned, Supernatural should have ended. Instead, they’ve left major plot lines unresolved so they can do another season. I’m extremely sceptical that they’ll be able to come up with enough “regular” content to fill out another season though. I predict that it will tank part-way through the next season leaving major plot lines hanging. Unlike Firefly, I don’t expect a movie to be made to resolve the plot lines either.
