That's a good point with the whitelighter / not angels part. Heh, the demons "underworld" was awful. I enjoyed Charmed as a soap opera "feel-good" show so trouble was okay because I wasn't taking it seriously. That may be why SPN's such a turnoff right now - I'm so used to it being serious but the story is trying too hard to be something it can't due to budget / writing / whathaveyou. SPN does best with personal family relations, not the mysterious threat of an offscreen Apocalypse methinks.
SPN doesn't have the budget to deliver that. They don't, and maybe that's one of the things that makes it so frustrating for me. But then again, if they did have the budget I don't know if it would fare any better. Instead of blank stares and cryptic comments there might be full on angel smitings and no more rock salt in sight.
